I'm trying to listen to the follow up on 810 sports radio from the local fans and it's nothing but fucking commericals! WTF? One question or call from a listener and then 5 minutes of ads? This sucks

so you're a homer for everyone but the GM?

Haley is one of Pioli's mistakes ... Cassel the other


yet you miss Haley but hate Pioli?


weird

:spock:

It's the top of the hour. It is commercial radio after all...

welcome to KC radio.

just wait until they return from commercials and spend 4 minutes talking about where they're broadcsting from and all the great specials etc.

Cassel single-handedly strung Romeo's defense out to dry in the two losses that turned our season south...Miami and Denver....

How can he possibly pick him?

wow ... you just topped your idiotic 'coaching doesn't matter' statement.


That's quite the accomplishment.

I'm not sure Crennel would have taken the job if he has no say on the QB. We'll see if Cassel starts. The simple fact they were talking about a free-agent, Kyle Orton, suggests to me that Orton is the guy. Obviously, if Orton is re-signed, no way Cassel can beat him out.

All the homers are jacking off to this picture of epic fail.

You hit the bottom/top of the hour, that is always commerical time for every radio station.

Two white men flanking a black man...RACIST!

You, GoChiefs and Nick Athan are jacking off to Jeff Fisher.

Atcually , I don't really hate Pioli yet. But he needs to make a splash this year. I'm not so sure there wasn't some Pioli/Crennel backstabbing going on with Haley.

Yeah, let's get real here. NO ONE is going to be hired by an NFL team and then step into a news conference and start throwing existing players under a bus. No 1, that's bad form. No 2, you immediately lose a locker room if you do that.

The closest thing Romeo is going to get to saying something bad about a player was when he demoted Palko to third string and said "Well this is a production based game and I thanked Tyler for what he's done, but we're looking for more production from the QB so I'm going to give Kyle and Stanzi an opportunity to see what they've got."

The fact that there was not an unequivocal "Matt Cassel is the guy and we're going to ride him to the Super Bowl" statement in that news conference speaks volumes...

my bad, i guess when you called him Polio i just assumed ....


:spock:

Right now Cassel is the only real QB on the roster. What the heck do people expect Romeo to say at this point? He might never get Orton even if that's who he prefers. Palko shouldn't be on an NFL roster, and for whatever reason Stanzi wasn't able to take a snap this year. Cassel is the only QB with game experience. He's not going to crap on the guy.

Wow-I don't listen to sports radio in my car so this is all new.

Thanks ;)

Better to jack off than not even become aroused.

yep, any time a team doesn't say their starter is 100% their guy then he's more than likely on the way out.

What Crennel really just said was 'Cassel is my fallback guy in case i can't get a replacement. I don't want to burn that bridge yet'

Fair enough. I have to admit to looking at the situation through orange colored glasses. I was curious about the gold colored view. :)

I wouldn't be opposed to BQ as a cheap back up.

That's how they make MONEY, money without which they couldn't broadcast.

:clap::clap:

And you immediately lose a large portion of your fanbase if you don't - you know, the people that, in the end, pay the freaking bills.

He didn't lose his fan base.

Tebow winning a playoff game has KC fans going off the deep end.

No...he simply said more than the question required. His choice of additional information is not only unnecessary, but also shows his lack of connection with the fans that want nothing that even hints of selling Cassel as our QB.

I can't remember where I saw it, maybe on NFL channel , some video at the end of a game, I think it may have been the Miami game. They showed Haley making a comment , Crennel, just ignored him. Haley kind of gave him a double take with a ( you mother****ers are ****ing me ) look on his face and walked away. That's how It looked to me.

His lack of connection with the fans. That's funny.

I haven't seen any of the major TV networks upset over Crennel's comments. :)

Actually it's not. Hitting breaks on quarter hours is the quickest way to kill your cume in the ratings. Now if you're talking strictly talk radio it's a little different but for any other format it's a killer. Just sayin.

Nick Wright is in full blown conspiracy mode.

He now says that Romeo/Clark's comments about winning are false and that they don't care about winning.

Jeez! You can't win with some people.

One minute you're crying about how Clark hasn't said that he's committed to winning, but when he does say it, people cry about how they don't mean it.

ROFL

Was it the "You keep these boys together" comment?

That's one that has been on my mind. Crennel didn't say shit back to haley. Looked like there was alot of friction there.

Nick Wright is on a rant about Clark saying that he wants to draft, develop, and keep great players. ROFL

Your and Idiot

BY YOUR COMMAND

I don't think you start buying season tickets if he tells you he's cutting Matt Cassel at a press conference. You're still waiting to see who the next QB is going to be at that point...

I'm not. I don't care who the QB is as long as it isn't Cassel. And there's LOTS of people out there just like me.

:thumb: exactly, That was it. thanks. Yeah, I thought Crennel was undermining him right there.

I don't know about that. But i do think people were ****ing sick of Haley by then. Muir didn't seem too happy with him either, not that i give a shit.

The writing was on the wall.

I can't believe people actually expected Crennel to take the stage and throw a player under the bus and openly question the only QB on the roster who has won an NFL game.

A Romeo Crennel, Gary Gibbs, Brian Daboll coached team is going to pwnt this league. Great hire!

Son of Packers offensive coordinator Philbin missing

The 21-year-old son of Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has been reported as missing.

The Associated Press reports that Michael Philbin had been visiting friends in Oshkosh when he was last seen Sunday at 2. a.m. CT. He was reported missing on Sunday evening.

Michael Philbin spent six months in jail in 2009. He was convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls, along with two counts of battery.

Joe Philbin met with the Chiefs and Dolphins about their head coaching vacancy.

UPDATE 3:20 p.m. ET: Packers G.M. Ted Thompson released a statement on the matter.

“The Packers organization is aware of the missing person report regarding Michael Philbin, son of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Philbin family during this difficult time. We ask anyone with information about Michael to contact the Oshkosh Police Department.”

It just came across to me as if he knows Pioli wants Cassel. It sounded like an obligatory peter-puffing of Cassel because he knows that's who Pioli wants.

Famous last words from Fat Scott during his introduction press conference in 2009:

"It's not about having the best people, It's about having the right people".

I.e. the "right people"... a cheap talent-less roster that keeps the Chiefs millions upon millions under the salary cap and a yes-man puppet for HC.

Welcome to Fat Scott's personal utopia of mediocre football.

True, but I liked the fact Haley is young. He didn't have a QB which makes it hard for any coach. Haley showed improvement from when he started. He settled down. He was a rookie coach who the Chiefs brought to the forefront and didn't stick with him. I would have liked to see what he could do with a good QB. I would have given him 1 more year. But that's just me. I still think could be good in time.

I'm not bitching though, people who know a whole hell alot more than me are making decisions. I just go by the gut feelings I have as a fan.

I was talking about talk radio should have clarified.

Sign me up,

Palko had better pocket presence than Cassel. That is saying something.

Of course he's not going to throw people under the bus. Nobody really wanted/expected that. Instead of saying very little when addressing players under contract that you're not pleased with, he went out of his way to say things that were not required by the question he was asked. If he's pleased with Cassel, this is a terrible hire.

It's like with the IRS and law enforcement. You answer the question they're asking...and provide ZERO additional information that could lead to other questions.

Expected him to? No. I'm realistic.

I'm also EXTREMELY disappointed with the direction of the franchise.

Not a problem, I should have read backwards.

Sorry to derail, but something about that picture reminds me of this.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bitching.

This.
And Romeo's D must have seen enough of Cassel in practice for the last 2 years. Its impossible to believe Romeo doesn't know that he is setup to fail with Cassel as the starter.

I'm just as excited as I was when Herm was hired.

Does Pioli keep his shades closed too?

the direction of the Franchise is good if you're ok with getting blown out by below average teams (Bills and Dolphins) at arrowhead on a weekly basis i guess.

KU has a better head coach than the Chiefs.

LMAO

fml

:facepalm:

How I took that: "If Haley can win a division with him, so can I. I'm not saying however that I can win a Super Bowl with the guy."

He also added "We'll see how it shakes down after this free agency thing is over with."

But Haley with Cassel played the NFC West that's a lot easier than the NFC South.

Chiefs the more things change the more they stay the same.

"Free Agency Thing"? Fat Scott won't do jack-shit in free agency.

wish they'd try that "Drafting a First Round Quarterback" thing.

or, winning that 'Super Bowl Thing"

This sentence is a show of support for the above sentiment.

That is pretty much it in a nutshell.

I have always defended the Hunts, but they are really the only common denominator.

For the longest time it was Carl, but a lot what we blamed Carl for, seem to remain the same.

Doesn't have to throw anyone under the bus, but a statement about the overall importance of the QB position would have made me feel better. Something like, "This is a QB-driven league, so we need to ensure that we have a strong player under center."

Doesn't have to commit to a player or criticize one overtly.

Why? We have one of the best Gm's and D-Cordinators running the franchise now.

Pioli was fired today?

HAHA Clark Hunt isn't committed to winning? That's ridiculous!

I am going to give RC a pass for today, since he wanted this job so bad and was obviously not wanting to start something on his first PC.

I feel really good that RC will not allow Cassel to keep him from being successful.

i'd say the Crennel Hiring went something like this:


Scott Pioli: Romeo you know if i hire you for the head coaching gig, you have to Play Cassel as the starting QB, right?

Crennel: Awww Man.

Scott Pioli: take it or leave it.

Crennel: wtf, it's better than being DC, i'll try it.

Glad to have him, I think it's the right chioce at this time. there's no way RAC's going play his hand yet. I donno why some seem to think the Crennel = Cassel

No problem for music the breaks are normally at :18 and :38 right and sometimes at :50?

It's not so muc that Crennel=Cassel as it is Pioli=Cassel

I like the hire. I think the way he handled the QB situation over the past 3 weeks gives me hope that RAC sees the value of having a good QB and has the willingness to do what it takes to put that guy out there.

His determination to not go down the same road he went down in Cleveland tells me he's going to make the changes we need made. Both RAC and Scott Pioli know their jobs are on the line now.
