We are hearing about it, people are writing about it. He knows.

if he's not checking into it he is definitely the problem. He doesn't care.

I think he cares

His direct contact is Pioli, and thus that's how he's going to get information, first and foremost. Unlike us, he's not dependent on the likes of Babb and Mellinger, and thus he could even avoid a large part of this (or even deem it unnecessary).

Like you said, though, we're going to have a clear answer to his level of give-a-**** tomorrow at 2:00 at the latest.

But with everything else going on he should be going around Pioli and talking to others to see how his general manager is running hist part of the business, right?

I hope I'm right buddy, and I might be totally ****ing wrong.

To your first question, absolutely. This assumes that he gives a shit.

Right now, I truly don't know whether he does or not. If he cares about winning, and that's priority 1, I couldn't care less where the sonofabitch lives.

But I think living away from the business itself, one that should be of great pride for him, personally, raises some questions in and of itself.

Tomorrow we know.

But what about the other businesses the Hunts own and run? Chiefs are just the high profile one in the spotlight but they have other ventures as well that are just as demanding. Not to mention Texas is more economically appealing to millionaries because no income taxes. DFW is a major international hub. And not to mention the parts of the real money maker for the Hunt family is still based in Dallas with Hunt Oil. Hell I'm involved with two business now and in the next year or two potenially investing in another one way from my area. I know its tough, but you have to hire the right personal to run them.

I'm not happy with the direction the Chiefs are in because of Pioli. I didn't like the hire in the first place. The situation with the Chiefs is they hired the wrong ****ing guy to run their team. If they made the right hire, its all for naught.

Well yea. If they were winners and not losers we wouldn't have to do any of this.

The NFL, in my view, isn't just another business. Far from it because, in a lot of ways, you assume a responsibility to represent a city. And you sure as **** represent a fan base, and KC's is a passionate one.

Thus, there will not and cannot be a one-to-one correlation with any other type of business. Professional sports are special and should be treated as such.
