Mellinger: Credibility of the Chiefs takes a hit

I agree with most of what you're saying here but I would like to add...

The biggest reason this is an issue is because the Chiefs are trying their very best to make it a non-story.

Here's how it should go:

Haley: Yes, we had a scuffle between a veteran and our rookie first round pick. We're disappointed. It's unfortunate. It's a development setback for Baldwin because he's going to be out 4 weeks. We're going to make sure he runs routes and gets conditioning so he'll be ready when his wrist is healthy. Next question?

What would the talking heads on the radio have to talk about all day if that's how the Chiefs deal with it? I'm so tired of the lies and stupidity that comes from these guys. Press conferences are worthless. They don't say anything. Ever.

Yeah it's certainly not fun from a fan perspective. But they can only get away with that stuff if the Chiefs are winning. If they become losers, and Todd still tries to pull that stuff, it won't be pretty.

yes, this is certainly a case where being quiet and secretive can work against you. This will just continue to be fuel for the talk show nuts.

Yes and no.

Being secretive could hurt the Chiefs... then again, what if the truth is worse than the speculation? And how can the coach say something without taking sides?

Everybody knows there was a fight. The only thing we don't know is why. And I don't see how Haley addressing that is going to help the situation. Would only make it worse.

Disagree with you here Buddy...

If I was Haley and Pioli, I wouldnt talk answer any questions about it. Its an internal issue, The fans and media have no need to know...

I may be misunderstanding you here, but I don't think he is saying that it is like public office where it is all public information. He is saying to make it a non issue you need to get it out in the open, and talk about it like it is a non issue. They are really tying to make a story out of nothing. The real story is our first round draft pick is injured. Outside of that it was due to something that is as common as sneezing in NFL locker rooms.

Fair enough...
