Yeah man, you're way off base.

Meh, most people I've met from the north/northeast were retired elitist assholes.


Granted I was just a kid working in the pro shop of a country club surrounded by a huge area of retirees from that area might have something to do with it.

Of course it does.

Not everyone is a country club asshole.

Even the online behavior of the organization and openness to the fans/media changed immediately when Pioli left. Amazing.

Who the hell knows what he was paranoid about? Dude was a control freak to a point of psychosis. Locking the bathrooms and requiring security escorts. Firing people in the offices if they didn't keep the window blinds closed during practices. Rumors of him tapping Haley's phone. Yeah, this is exactly how Stalin behaved. Filled with distrust and paranoia. Glad that psycho is gone.

The name Lynn Stiles makes me cringe as much as the name Scott Pioli.

He was head of personnel over some of the most disastrous drafts in the team's history. Keep in mind this is the guy who said he didn't even know who Big Ben was.

I don't think dipshit understood that the player's perception of being part of the Cities family was critical. The players played better because they didn't want to let the family down. Everyone in town knew who they were and what they looked like. A poor performance in Arrowhead was like shaming yourself in front of your real family. The players had pride in their contributions to the community and the fans appreciated it. Aside from that, there was no genuine reason to tear it down. It wasn't causing any problems.

Many have heard me complain about the change in culture as one of my biggest stinks with Pioli.

The destroying of player/organization relations with fans was a complete head scratcher. Keeping ex-players/personnel away from Arrowhead was not only a killer for environment but how FA looked at KC. Saw it as a sterile and unfriendly place. Then you strip the charity aspect between the team/fan base and it made the players just numbers and not people... They were like Pioli's gladiators and nothing else.

The Chiefs use to be a college atmosphere much like the Packers. Hopefully the new change brings that back and hopefully adding John Dorsey as GM also brings that atmosphere back to Arrowhead.

Yup, I've said the same thing. Here's what's great about the Pioli fiasco. The Kansas City media is the biggest group of ballwashers I have ever seen. What's funny is that if Pioli showed even an ounce of respect for the media, they would have help Pioli fight back against SOC or against fans calling for his head. It shows how much of a dick Pioli was to turn our media against their team.

I also talked about 2010. How we made the playoffs, but it never felt electric. Nobody was really that excited. I talked about jerseys. During the Carl era, I had a few players I idolized. During the Pioli era, I don't idolize anybody. Not even Jamaal Charles, who is one of the best players I've seen play in a Chiefs' uniform.

If Hunt is smart, he will demand that the Chiefs open the team back up to the fans. I want to see Bowe and Charles clown around. I want to hear about their charity work. I want to see shows like the Jared Allen show again. And yes, even though I barf every time I read a fluff piece on Junior Siavii enduring tough times, I want to see that shit too.

He talks about drafting pro bowl players because they fit the system, and they got coached up.

Geno is perfect for WCO, and our coaching staff is now filled with QB coaches.

Suck it haters.

Then again, new gm/reid may not draft that way :(
