Whitlock takes Egoli national
5. This week's teachable moment is a warning to members of the national football media: I'm respectfully asking that writers and broadcasters do not visit Kansas City with the intention of carrying Scott Pioli's water.
My reaction to any homer-ish, out-of-context Pioli water-carrying will not be respectful. Pioli came to Kansas City and quickly unveiled the biggest ego in professional sports, earning him the nickname Scott Egoli. He absolutely doesn't need Peter King, Adam Schefter, Mike Florio or anyone else rationalizing the roster he put together. It is no secret around the league that Egoli believes he is equal to or superior to Bill Belichick in football intellect. I'm anxious to see him prove it. I campaigned for the Chiefs to hire Egoli. I'd like for him to be successful. But there's no reason for us to prop him up. So let's kill the little notes about the Chiefs releasing 30 players (five off injured reserve and five off the practice squad) since Pioli's arrival and only three or four of them landing on an opponent's roster. Do you think Bill Parcells didn't release some players off the 1-15 Dolphins team he inherited? By the end of the 2008 season, I believe there were fewer than 30 Dolphins left from the 2007 roster. Parcells also acquired a veteran quarterback, Chad Pennington, and gave him a two-year deal worth around $9 million. Meanwhile, Egoli acquired Matt Cassel, giving the career backup a $60 million contract. We're not throwing any pity parties in Kansas City. If you acquire information by providing back massages to ego-bloated general managers, I'm politely asking you to find another city. I like and respect the overwhelming majority of the men and women covering the NFL -- particularly King, Schefter and Florio -- but I can't tolerate anyone interfering with how I run my corners in Kansas City. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/1...-the-footsteps |

Speaking of egos...

Whitlock has a bigger ego than Pioli does and a bigger gerth and ass. Maybe he will eat himself to death.

so, he pretty much has declared KC HIS town, and implores all big-named national media to join his new "anti-Pioli" campaign or stay the F out.

Whitlock needs a new schtick, and bad! His is so transparent. Find the town's biggest sports front office personality. Demonize them. Enjoy haveing subject matter for the next 5 years minimum. It's getting real old Jason. I have quit reading his articles that have Pioli or Haley in the title.

I would LOVE to know what Pioli said to Whitlock. It had to be worthy of quote of the year.

Not sure who he is, but I do think there's gathering evidence that he's been in Thailand over the last year or so.

We get the general manager that every other team in the league has been wanting for YEARS and he's pulling this stupid bullshit. I'll fork over good money to the person who ties a string on a drumstick, attaches the other end to a Greyhound bus and leads Whitlock out of town......
