Open your blinds during practice? Fired. Trade and sign Cassel to participate in these practices? Well done!

You first if so dedicated. If not die for us. Bedsides STFU. Not your field, idiot thought, or Just FU.

F'n Beakers. I bet you hold your pinky up when you take a drink.

(Wait, was that a filter infraction?)

It's going to keep me up all night knowing that Pioli fired people responsible for all those superbowl wins the past couple decades. THE NERVE!

The warm, friendly, cuddly work environment, with an attitude of "just do your best" and "good enough" hasn't been very successful for the last 30+ years.

I have no problem with giving "personal accountability" and "attention to detail" a try.

This is another topic in the article I think is being blown out of proportion.

I'm going to guess that many of the people that work at Arrowhead are Chiefs fans, like myself. I'm also going to state the fact that if I were working at Arrowhead, and my beloved Chiefers were practicing right outside my window, I probably wouldn't be getting near as much work done as I would be if I couldn't see them and watch them.

If I'm running a business of any kind and I see this sort of distraction I'm going to do something about it. It's called a business decision, and I wouldn't be surprised if they could present data to backup the fact that general production went up when this distraction was removed.

It's just like blocking Facebook, Chiefsplanet, etc. on company networks. It's a distraction that costs an organization money because of lack of production. It's my opinion that this sort of thing has a lot more to do with what's going on than conspiracy.

I know! Can you believe it?

A Kansas City Star writer actually did some investigating and reporting!!!

80-20 split. What a shock.

It's cool, Pi...Scott! Yes, sir. Whatever you say! Go Chiefs!!! Details! Wins! BBQ!!!

The six elephants the room:

1. The Kansas City media has an axe to grind with the new regime and their lack of access to information. Hostility towards Pioli is a direct result of that.

2. Employees from the previous regime who've lost jobs ALSO have an axe to grind. Others, still on the payroll and also unhappy with the new direction of the organization, are uncomfortable having to abandon their comfort zones (established by previous regimes).

3. Fans also have an axe to grind with the level of secrecy this organization has created over the last 3 years. The explosion of information through every kind of media imaginable doesn't dovetail with these rigid policies about keeping everything quiet.

4. Fans don't care how an organization is run so long as it produces results. If this organization were winning there'd be no indignation about this micro-management.

5. Scott Pioli and Mark Donovan can only do what Clark Hunt allows them to. You can't, on the one hand, burn the two of them at the stake and simultaneously give our illustrious owner a pass. He's ultimately responsible.

6. Every GM has to run the organization how he sees fit. If you can be relieved of your job, you want it to be on your own terms. Be that secrecy, an open-door policy or indifference. Hunt can't hire the man to do a job then have his hand in everything he's entrusted to Scott Pioli. If you find that his "way" isn't serving your franchise...can him and find someone else. But the man has to have some level of freedom to build it...his "way".

But he was/is Bat S**t crazy, looked and no doubt smelled like a hobo, and was probably was seeing black helicopters.

Indeed. And reporters must raise their hands to piss and employees are locked out of certain parts of Arrowhead to prevent further distractions.

I'll say this: think about how poorly this team would have performed if Pioli hadn't initiated these changes? Scary. Thank goodness that comfy-cozy environment left and he instilled one laden with playoff wins.

Deez is really pounding the fire Pioli drum.

OK really... do you believe the Chiefs are bugging employees personal cell phones?

Pretty sure that's against the law.

Nope. But I think the priorities are way, way, way out of whack.

And this team won't win anything of substance (read: SB) while an incompetent **** like Pioli is here.

Executives cannot watch practice, but Cassel leads and participates in them. Justify this.
