Chiefs lose tampering appeal
 

F**k you, Goodell.

Only the fines to the team and Reid were reduced.

**** Everybody.

This is total horseshit.

Can we please stop Goodell from this magical roulette wheel where he decides punishments? There isn't any precedent for a punishment this harsh for tampering.

**** Everybody.

Not surprising.

I knew they'd lose the minute that Goodell said he'd be the person hearing the Chiefs argument.

I use to feel sorry for that prick years ago when he would get booed at the draft so horrendously, but hell with it. Pour it on, Chicago.

He needs fired before he tries to turn the NFL into a world wide league, or makes one more stupendous ruling on discipline.

I expect a bunch of teams to be hit with this shit then because EVERYONE ****ing does it.

Seriously. I still remember Suh being linked to Miami way before FA ever started.

They all do it.

Not anymore. Word was that all the teams knew this was coming down before free agency.

I saw one commentator say how odd it was that there were no rumors of anything going on in that regard and pointed to this as the reason.

Wow....hell of a guy.

Uhhh what? There were multiple reports of leaked contracts during the tampering window. Osemele being one of them.

This is ****ing bullshit.

Shocking

Just what I heard. But my premise still stands. This is a statement penalty. Pretty harsh.

It's not that I don't believe we tampered with him. I'm sure we did. It's that we were the team dumb enough to get caught.

Time to sue the NFL.

Sucks, but if it meant getting Maclin I'd do it again.

Because...

Eat a dick Goodell.... And not just any dick, no. Eat a dick, directly after its been balls deep in your wife's ass, on a Taco Tuesday.

Damn. You guys really have to stop cheating like this. It ruins the integrity of the game.

**** me? No, **** you.

Denied again?

It's like the Chiefs are actually trying to be a winning franchise now. Finally joining the rest of you cheating franchises.

Statement from Chiefs Chairman & CEO Clark Hunt Regarding the NFL's Ruling on Chiefs Appeal

“We appreciate the opportunity to make our appeal on this matter, and we acknowledge the minor reduction in fines imposed. However, we continue to believe that the facts of this case combined with the league’s inconsistent enforcement of its tampering policies do not warrant the most severe penalty for player-related tampering in league history.

“Having exhausted our options under the appeal process, we are turning the page on this issue and look forward to continuing our preparations for the 2016 season.”

Three threads worth.

Lawsuit time?

Wussed out

Nope. Check the other thread.

Hey, I just want to say thank you for increasing the value of both of our third round picks by one slot. Between you and the Pats it's like Christmas all up in here.

What the **** can he do?

The draft is next week.

<img style="-webkit-user-select: none" src="http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/svps.gif">

I saw. Hunt is too go along to get along. I would of skipped the appeal and went straight for the lawsuit.

Your most welcome, and try and keep cooking spray off uniforms next time we play, thank you very much.

Meh, I'm sure I'm not the only one with 1 foot out the door on the NFL anyway.

They sure seem to want to test people's limits because they've been acting like greedy, hypocritical clowns for about a half decade.

Don't count on consistency. It never bothers the NCAA either.

How about the stuff that smells like olive oil? That's good stuff, very nice fragrance.

everything he does he is told to do by the owners.

That's total bullshit. No commissioner in any league is as wishy washy about penalties as Goodell is. It's because as commissioner, he's supposed to be the guy who makes sure there's a level playing field. If one team is penalized more than another for the infraction, that's preferential treatment.

Of course it's preferential treatment, small market without a big name qb will do that.

its a fact. He has no power. He is just the mouthpiece

So what, all the owners draw straws to see who will take the fall?

****


You can bet that pussy Clark didn't say a ****ing thing.


Soccer!!!

If I ever met Schlereth I've always wanted to ask him his favorite cooking spray, but then again he's still a big dude so probably not.

My question is: What basis did Goodell use to reduce said fines a grand total of $65K? What in the world came out of the appeal that made him conjure up a reduction of $50K and $15K? Did we say "Sorry with sugar on it"???

It's pretty clear to me that the punishment for the Chiefs was WAY beyond the crime, but when left to this farce of a commissioner, well, hows about we just reduce good ol' Andy's fine by $15K especially since he's hobbling around on a bum knee, and since Clark is Lamar's little boy, I'm gonna give the team a 20% family discount too! I am The Man.

Unbelievable.

Hey, rules are rules, and if you break 'em, you pay. Sadly, punishments for these types of transgressions are totally subjective, and the Chiefs got their lunch handed to them by good ol' Roger.

Things like this are hard to forget. Clark needs to get even.

I'd rather cheat on the salary cap and win a Super Bowl in exchange for losing a 3rd round pick.

Being one of a dozen teams talking to a free agent when you're "not supposed to" seems like it should have a higher punishment for sure.

Damnit. We need that damn pick.

Take it to Berman and cry like a bitch. Brady did it.

One of those picks could very likely be your starting QB next year looking at your depth chart. It'll almost be like a third round pick for us with all the touchdowns he'll throw to us over the next few years.

True. He was calling out our linemen for their shitty play last year. He looked pissed. He also looked like he could still kick some ass.

of course, we're the chiefs

we should have pretended to be tom brady...

"Thank you sir. May I have another?"

- Clark Hunt, NFL Pledge

Yeah, God, I hope the guy doesn't do something like throw four INT's in a single game against the Chiefs and get benched. We'd never win a Super Bowl with a QB like that.

Well the nfl did rig it for Manning so there's that :D

Just more proof that the NFL front office is a joke.

Yeah you knew how this was going to go down.

Run up to the podium when our third round pick comes up and scream "**** you Roger! We select Fat Ass Offensive Guard from Texas State Women's College."

FYP

Something happened.

Something happened back in the day with Lamar that put KC on a blacklist with the league. What that is, we may never know.

Al Davis took the fall publicly, but Hunt was involved. It has to do with the merger, but it's so ****ing hush-hush no one will ever find out until a whole plethora of people are dead and/or dying.

I agree. Chase Daniel to the Eagles being one of them. This ruling is total shit. This just confirms my opinion of Goodell and his jaded ass verdicts. There is absolutely zero reason the Chiefs should have to be punished more severely than the rest of the league. Goodell sucks and is a biased turdling.

I hope we ****ing cheat like nobody's business now. **** the NFL.

They know how good we are going to be so they are trying to even the playing field for the other teams.

Where is the precedent for docking a third? Ridiculous.

Yeah what happened is Andy got stupid and didn't cheat properly, or bother to tell Maclin to shut the **** up about it and toss all records.

We can't even ****ing cheat properly.

No, this has been going on for far too long. The Chiefs have been getting shafted in major ways at critical moments for as long as I can remember.

Something strange is afoot at the Circle K, Bill.

The punishment levied was shit, but the Chiefs did it. The Chiefs aren't the only team to be punished for this.

It's on Clark because he's one of the **** bags that backs this shit level talk show commissioner. They gave him total authority with basically no boundries to operate within.

Call New England for advice?

Tawm Braydee

I indeed did. About the time they finalized the draft order before they heard the appeal.

Not without a dental dam I wouldn't...uh...I mean, yeah.

You know your guys could totally afford to spring for real olive oil....The good kind.

It's not like the salary cap has ever affected the Broncs.

Because Chiefs.

That's how you handle that...

Agreed.

It sucks to lose a third this year but the Chiefs did tamper.

It's time to move on.

This is actually a pretty strong statement considering the circle. I will be surprised if Clark isn't fined for it.

"we acknowledge the minor reduction in fines imposed. However, we continue to believe that the facts of this case combined with the league’s inconsistent enforcement of its tampering policies do not warrant the most severe penalty for player-related tampering in league history."

AND there the only ones,right? According to YOU and Roger.

**** you.
