Great article & spot on.
Thanks for the link.

Jason, I retract every bad thing I've ever said about you after reading and disagreeing with a lot of your articles. But damn if you didn't nail it on the head this time. :clap::clap:

Excellent job, Mr. jwhit. Excellent job.

You hit all the right notes and the result is a chorus of frustration and sports-fan angst.

Hopefully, this piece will siphon off some of the poison that's flooded the national media and, if so, you are owed a debt from every Chiefs fan who smashes a Jim Beam bottle over their own head on Sundays.

Wow - nice! Gotta give jwhit credit. He was the first person in any media anywhere to sound the alarm on Pioli.

Hopefully a empty bottle.

Thanks Jason.

Hell, he is still the only one.


There were a few of us here that didn't like Pioli, but we had no power, and of course nothing to lose.

Jason Whitlock put it on the line extremely early. He knew Pioli was a control-freak turd, wrote about it, and took the flak with class.

I am very happy that he still cares to check in and even defend the very people that were throwing insults at him 3 years ago. That takes a lot of character.

Abso****inglutely. That's why the dude is a pro. He's earned this public dick sucking.

This is an absolutely AMAZING article. Anybody notice that he didn't once really mention that he was right about Pioli? That he didn't use this as an "I told you so" moment?

I've never been kind to Whitlock - he comes here infrequently and usually does so for attention (or to get everybody stirred up) and is gone before anybody can respond.

But this time he's put it on the line and put his money ($600!) where his mouth is.

I honestly feel like he's one of us now more than ever before.

Yup, that's a winner, Jason.

Hmmm ... that's really close to the way I interpreted his point.

I don't think the issue is violence, per se. This is about a double-standard in which ESPN and their ilk don't shy away from violence in sport. Just the opposite, they celebrate it. (Do they still air the "Jacked Up" segment?)

In this case, the level of hypocrisy seems to be Mr. jwhit's argument (as I see it, anyhow). On one hand, sports media showcases NASCAR crashes, bone-jarring football plays, and knock-outs. On the other hand, they whine with shock and indignation when they learn that some fans cheered when Cassel had to leave the game. Ironically, their only defense is absolute ignorance and negligence in that most of them didn't research the story in order to discover it wasn't 70,000 fans ... it was closer to 7.

The salt in the wound is the other point he makes; namely that Cassel shouldn't be a starting quarterback in this league anyway and the only reason he has a job has to do with Pioli's ego and Clark Hunt's unwillingness to get involved.

As the ancient aliens say, "Facts is facts." And the main fact in this case is that, for 40 years, Chiefs fans have been loyal, patient, generous, and faithful in their support of this organization. In return, they've gotten one of the worst franchises in sport and, more recently, a litany of insults.

I'm satisfied with where my plan is heading at the moment... :)

this. You summed up my feelings exactly

whitlock was right 4 years ago back in 09 about this circus and practically predicted all of it.

I was still drinking the kool aid as a delusional idiot fan that bought into the Pioli Propaganda and was against Whitlock about everything. Whitlock was and is right. I can proudly eat that crow and thank him for still saying consistent and helping the Chiefs fanbase out today. Hats off to King Whit

Kudos to JWhit. Although I think Winston had a point that they AREN'T gladiators, I do appreciate a fresh look at the real issues surrounding the 'handful' of fans who may have cheered.

Great article. I've been critical of JWhit, although far less than some on here. I just don't like the unnecessary injection of racist overtones where they don't seem to belong. But, great article and he earned five 'hold-my-tongues' on future articles he writes.

Outstanding, great read Jason and Thank You.

Oh crap, Pioli got to Fox Sports.

I have taken issue with many a Whitlock articles. He has made his bones by being a controversial writer; the literary version of a shock jock. He has also done some damned good writing that I had to give him credit for being spot on. When Big Sexy decides to step up to the plate and write a for real serious piece, this is exactly what you get, one knocked way out of the park.

Though I didn't care much for his insecure fan line....

Clay. LMAO

Re your sig - is that real or just photoshop??

Still at the link in the OP, drama queen.

Fixed.

Thank you Jason. Well said.

I approve of this message!

Absolutely the best thing Whitlock's ever written.

Mostly because I agree with it.

My twitter feed has been hacked for two days and I can't push this column the way I normally would. Would you guys please spam this article on Facebook and on twitter. Send it to people in the national media. Please push this column. Thanks.

I need a little help with this column.

Thanks

Whitlock

CP is going to knock this thing smooth the hell out.

Well, I will if you fix the typo. I wouldn't want my reputation tarnished.

Dear Matt,

When you see that error, it is almost always a local DNS failure. It will eventually clear itself up. I have been seeing more and more of these pop up in recent months. Sometimes random sites but more often than not it happens with Google sites and Facebook. Just a little FYI.

WTF? that's a little odd.

Whit is like Jack Parkman in Major League

amazing. Life is really a circle.

Whitlock Wallace consumed The Patriot Way with bolts of lightning from his arse.

Already did it as soon as I read it.

Keep it up, Jason.

Done, and more than happy to help with this one.

Whitlock has written good stuff for years, another good one from Whitlock.

Thank you, Whitlock. Good to have you as a fan.

Consider it spammed.

Posted this on my facebook. I really enjoyed reading this.

DNS == Did Not Start == cASSHOLE next week?????!!!!!

Y'all correct me and I'll have to link you to the classic tracer-T video!! :)

A good read.

People are talking like Chiefs fans were actually cheering for Cassels pain. Like we were all "yeah! Feel that pain that you deserve Matt! Die!" When in reality we just wanted to see a new QB because we want to maybe score a ****ING TOUCHDOWN

Nice.

Keep destroying Pioli, and we'll be your social media spamming soldiers.

Whitlock nails it! Awesome!

Get this out there. It must be seen.

Like everyone at the stadium automatically knew it was a head injury. It was so evident by the push/hit he took
