Haley and Weis.

Pioli isn't a wannabe coach. He's comfortable being GM.

Is Pioli arrogant? He doesn't think so. Doesn't know why Whitlock called him egoli. Nobody in New England felt that way. Patriots are much tougher than KC is on lockdown of info.

[Chiefnj2]

Scouts say Pioli will test them and work them hard. But, he's not a micro-manager.

[Chiefnj2]

Media relations all depend on whether team is winning or not.

Belichick horrible media relations in Cleveland, good in NE.

He's totally ripping on the false idea that Pioli is an egomaniac...invited Fescoe to call anyone in the Boston media and they would confirm Whitlock's idea of him are not consistent with who they know.

This sure is blowing up a lot of people's preferred narratives...

Pioli has never seemed like it in interviews. Seems pretty down to earth.

Pizzagate being destroyed in irony.

[Chiefnj2]

He's surprised there is talk of a strained relationship between Haley and Pioli. Where is it coming from? No proof of it. Pioli isn't Jerry Jones. Doesn't want to be in the huddle.

Pioli just doesn't want to be out front in the media. Pioli wants Haley to be out front. His comfort layer is behind the scenes assembling the roster.

Sports media, led by Whitlock, are sometimes a bunch of sniveling, whiney crybabies. They don't like the "secrecy" and lack of access...so they invent shit out of thin air. Do Pioli and Haley have issues? On occasion, yeah they probably do. It doesn't appear to be anything on the level suggested by so many media clowns. Journalists have too much estrogen flowing through their veins, and will mistake normal macho disagreement and posturing for overblown drama that conceals some underlying non-existent "issue."

Exhibit A: Whitlock.

Great post. And truthy as all get out.

I applaud your common sense, Mr. Mr. Kotter. It is becoming increasingly uncommon on the Planet, it seems. Particularly when people start believing anything the Nicks or Whittles have to say.

There's a big difference between selling papers, ratings, or web eyeballs and truth ... most of the time, anyhow.

FAX THE IMPRESSED

[Chiefnj2]

He heard so many outrageous stories about Carl Peterson. Didn't give details.

[dallaschiefsfan]

Narratives are falling...unless we're going to go conspiracy theory on this guy and consider him a New England Tree PR man. I personally doubt it. It seems like he's an actual journalist.

[Chiefnj2]

That's it.

I'm starting to believe Nick and KK were children separated at birth. Between those two and Jack Harry its like venturing into DC. Massive hate and half truths.
