No. You're an asshole a lot more often than you need to be or should be, but that's not what I'm talking about.

I think you're a good poster as well. You know, at times I want to stay, but my heart leans more towards the "no" side.

When is the time where you will put a boombox on your shoulders and play a Peter Cetera song?

Hope this isn't being reposted, but if it is, ignore.

A source close to Romeo Crennel said Tuesday night the former Cleveland head coach and former New England defensive coordinator is not close to joining the Kansas City staff as a defensive coordinator. It is possible, at some point, the source said, that Crennel could join former New England colleague Scott Pioli as a defensive consultant.

Wow.

Just wow.

I was going to attempt to be funny and ask why there were no kill it with fire or nuclear attack pics in this thread. But I seriously canNOT top someone getting butthurt and leaving.

Wow.

[FAX]

Well, I'd trade Mr. RedBull and 1600 draft picks for a few of these damn know-it-all N00bs (sp?) that have landed on us like a brain fart avalanche. Sorry to see him go.

I just think there needs to be more better people and less not so good people. I don't want to hate anybody nor wish to hate anybody on here. Im just gonna accept others for who they are, and I wish them all the best in whatever they do in their lives, I just feel for myself I deserve better. And I want to be in a better environment.

I know Im a better person then what some of my posts indicate to others here. Sometimes the "bad" around here brings out the worst in you. It's challenging to be good here in this type of environment.

*Wish there were more dudes like yourself around..All the best

Eh, you can't let this stuff get to you. A lot of people on here are idiots.

I think the Krumrie thing is very strange, the rest of it not so much. We're in the Parcells tree now, and this is how they do things. Anybody surprised that all these guys have some kind of tie to Parcells/Pioli/Haley is living under a rock. They'd take on somebody with a less impressive resume that they "trust" to be part of the family over someone with a better resume who might not fit in with the team they're trying to build.

The bottom line I suppose is that if Pioli is worth the coin he is getting paid and he can go out and bring talent into this organization, all of these coaches will look like geniuses...

And that is the bottom line.

There was a time where Bill Belichick was a defensive coordinator/reject head coach but he always had a job because he was in the Parcells tree. Same reason Romeo Crennel will probably get another job and why Tony Sparano ever became an NFL head coach.

[Frazod]

Boy this thread took some strange ****ing turns.

[The Bad Guy]

As I said, I'm going to reserve judgement on all these coaches until I see some games played. Bruce Arians was run out of Cleveland, but managed to win a SB.

Who the **** are you assholes ganging up on tonight
