WHO TO BELIEVE?!?

That sucks. Good get for Miami.

Erroneous one strikes again...

:hmmm: :shrug:

LOL, good job Nick Athan.

You have to be kidding me. A lot of Planeteers seemed to be very high on the Dorrell hiring.

Then again, maybe they were just very high.

FAX

I'm never paying for premium again. LMAO

You can't blame Nick. His source said Dorrell was the wide receivers coach. What is Nick supposed to do?

Confirm it with another source? Like an actual journalist?

I don't even know how Nick works. It's possible he did that.

We updated our website at midday so maybe something happened between now and then.

LMAO LMAO

That's the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard. What hack journalism.

"Well, someone told me this, so it must be true. Better run and put it in my article. Hope it's true!!"

Make it clear that what he's writing is speculative and try to check with other (credible) sources.

Well that was one more source than he usually has...

From Bruin's Nation:

After the blockbuster hiring of Norm Chow, the football program gets a nice shot in the (financial) arm thanks to Kansas City, which reportedly has hired Karl Dorrell as it's receivers coach:

From Rocky Mountain News:

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/new...front-runner-/

Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell is considered the front-runner now that Chan Gailey has been hired as the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive coordinator.

From The Phinsider:

http://www.thephinsider.com/story/2008/1/21/02858/4130

Also, former UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell interviewed with the Dolphins this past week for the WR coach job. But Dorrell has also been offered the same job with a few other teams (KC and Denver, I believe). It's unknown where he might be leaning.

From The Denver Post:

http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_8022074

Karl Dorrell is expected to decide on his future in the next few days. He was in Kansas City and in Miami talking to the Chiefs and Dolphins this week.

He has a chance to coach the receivers for both teams. Denver has also reached out to Dorrell and will give him an opportunity to join the offensive staff, most likely coaching the receivers. If Dorrell doesn't join the Denver staff, the team may not hire a receivers coach.

From WPI:

http://www.wpi.com/

We've learned that Karl Dorrell is considering accepting the position of head greeter at the first WalMart to open on the planet Mars. WalMart has interviewed several candidates for the job and our sources say they like Dorrell's sunny disposition plus he has his own spaceman outfit.

FAX

I apologize for telling Nick about the Dorrell hire...

It's possible, I suppose. He got hired, quit, and hired somewhere else. It could happen.

FAX

It wasn't speculation. A source inside the Chiefs organization told us Karl Dorrell had been hired. Maybe multiple sources. Maybe it was freaking Herm. I don't know.

My guess is something happened before pen was put to paper. Whatever. By the way, I wrote the article, so if you really want to blame someone, blame me.

Is Athan's source one of those links listed?

The last one.

FAX

No. Nick talks to people inside the Chiefs organization.

What?!? You just said that you didn't know how Nick works and that maybe he checked with others. Now you wrote the freaking article? Did you actually talk to a source, or did you play telephone with Nick, who was talking to Ari Chi3fs?

Looking at all the links FAX listed, maybe it is Teicher that is wrong.

Quick, GOATSE, write an article saying Dorrell is not coming and then I'm sure tomorrow he will be signed.

To add to this, how could you feel comfortable putting your name on something, assuming you did this, without confirming something yourself?

warpaint strikes again....

If he had been hired and backed out, I think Teicher probably would have mentioned that. But that's just a guess; the story was kinda short.

Yes. Go look at the byline.

If Mr. GoChiefs were told by Nick to write a particular thing, what's he supposed to say? No, I won't take your word on that, I need more verified sources? I don't think that would go over very well.

Income wise, it's best that Mr. GoChiefs continue writing what Nick tells him to write. Facts or no facts. You go, Mr. GoChiefs.

FAX

I trust Nick.

Thankyou, Mr. FAX.

Wait until he starts telling him what NOT to write - even when it's true. Those are fun times.

Well, even if they do plan on sending millions of Chiefs fans to internment camps, I'd rather not know about it.

FAX

Perhaps I'm misjudging GoChiefs' role. I thought all of the writers were attempting to be journalists, and that he wasn't just a tape recorder for what Nick says. If Whitlock calls up Teicher and tells him that LJ just got arrested, my guess is that Teicher would make a call or two before writing something, though I'm sure he trusts JWhit just fine.

it's also the best way to maintain your reputation as the Corky of journalism....

I wouldn't categorize WPI as "journalism", Mr. DeezNutz. I'm not sure what it is, but I wouldn't call it that.

It's kind of like a funny club where you pay dues to hear somebody tell you super secret stuff. Like the Shriners without the handshake and the wacky little hats.

FAX

No, Nick just couldn't write it. He got confirmation that the coaches were hired while he was out in Alabama without access to the internet, so someone had to put SOMETHING up. That person is me.

I'll go slash my wrists now.

I'm pretty sure that all of those other sources are quoting WPI. I Google newsed it and it found several sources, but they seemed to use WPI as their source. Someone should say that we hired EyePod as the new WR coach! I'm up for the challenge. I'll just put away my Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat, and Mass Transfer book and start coaching really athletic kids about how to jump and catch and run fast!! It can't be harder than Chemical Engineering!!!

Damn it Carl

As much ass as he has kissed in his articles and interviews, He should have just called A+ Carl

Someone's off on Price's role as well. I thought it was QB coach not WR's.

So now Curl Stays?

Damnit Carl, Herm, pilsburry doughboy............
Damn you Tom Cruise.

Dorrell has your knife in Miami.

Curl was staying as assistant HC regardless.

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/

I seriously don't see anything that confirms that Dorrell signed with the Dolphins

Personally, my money is on the Mars WalMart job.

FAX

I thought that was Dorrell?

Or that guy we hired for OC, what's his name? Chang Bailey or something.












I was wondering more of who the actual person will be to coach qb's. Not if Curl stays in another role or not.

That would be ironic .

If Dorrell is going to Miami it sounds like it will still be Curl.

Someone just go pay them $89.95 to get the real info.

Anybody got change for a C-note?

FAX

Marv Levy is considered the front runner cause he is older.

Please don't blow that too. Perhaps some research is in order.

Why not hire another WR coach and still follow through the plan (according to Nick) to get Price to coach WR's?

The buck stops here.
 

You've heard to many CP/Herm pressers.

Why does WPI suck so much when some other sources on there are great. I know the Atlanta Braves part of scout.com is amazing. They were the first to bust the Tex deal last season. I think the writers for WPI should stop spending their time on the forums arguing and should actually report things well. LEARN FROM THE BRAVES WRITERS!!!!!!
*COUGH* GOATSE *COUGH* *COUGH*

This is about as close as it gets ...

http://www.insidesocal.com/ucla/2008..._dolphins.html

Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell is close to accepting a job as the receivers coach of the Miami Dolphins, according to sources.

FAX

Let's not get this twisted now. Remember when we broke this story?

http://kan.scout.com/2/661376.html

"According to a report from 610 Sports in Kansas City..."

Here's some real dang news ...

Sweden to Study Belching Cows

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - A Swedish university has received $590,000 in research funds to measure the greenhouse gases released when cows belch. About 20 cows will participate in the project run by the Swedish University for Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, about 40 miles north of Stockholm, officials said Monday.

FAX

this will get sorted out. We should know within the next 36-48 owwers.(DubbleYouPeeEye spelling)

Apparently:

"Three weeks ago a former Chiefs player told Warpaint Illustrated Holmes wanted to continue playing, and there was a chance he’d make another run in Kansas City."

HAHAHA

So before, WPI would wait until another source confirmed something, say they knew about it weeks before, and then they would talk about it. Now, they just make shit up without any other sources backing them up.

WTG WPI

That last part was confusing to me at first....I almost wish that I learned to read out loud only!......OHHH!!! WPI!!! (HE SPELLED IT HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT!!! HAHAHAHA)

Your take is quite convoluted.

Anyway, Warpaint does some good things. Saying we suck is definitely not accurate. Nick is out in Mobile right now covering the Senior Bowl. Today we put up two updates, the article on two players and Chuck Cook, and Nick had a nice interview with Romeo Crennel. But yeah, we suk!!!

Do like I did and make your own Flash Cards. Remember dubble rimes with bubble.

I dunno, I just don't think they're worth the money. I mean, maybe there are a lot of more deals done in baseball, but the Braves section seems to be done a lot better. But you know what the problem is? Carl never does anything worthwhile... that's why it's so hard to cover this mediocre team. So I really don't blame you guys, you're making chicken salad out of chicken shit. The articles are written well, but the material just isn't worth it. Seriously, does anyone read those stupid 5 important people for the win by Nick?

That's OK. Some people do.

Honestly, it's great that you have reps at the Senior Bowl. But why is it Nick? He'll be the first to admit he's not a player evaluator. Why can't he hire Mike Campbell to go down there and write some actual analysis?

Can I see the context of that quote? That can really be sarcastic.

Until I cancelled my subscription over the whole "Mr. Phobia and The Mystery of The 500 Dollars" deal, I liked the post-game locker room interviews they had. For someone outside the KC market area, that was a valuable service.

FAX

Hey FAX, where's your picture from? It reminds me of Afro Samurai, but I don't think it is.

Nick Athan has 1 more IQ point than Mariah Carey.

If you add 1 to negative infinity isn't it still negative infinity?

You'll just have to guess, Mr. EyePod. If I have to tell you, you don't really deserve to know.

Meanwhile, here's some more really interesting news ...

Mystery Man's Annual Visit to Poe Grave

BALTIMORE (AP) - Undeterred by controversy, a mysterious visitor paid his annual tribute at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe early Saturday, placing three red roses and a half-filled bottle of cognac before stealing away into the darkness.

Nearly 150 people had gathered outside the cemetery of Westminster Presbyterian Church, but the man known as the "Poe toaster" was, as usual, able to avoid being spotted by the crowd, said Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum.
