Chiefs More WPI questionable behavior - Page 5

**The Bad Guy** · 01-11-2009, 01:35 AM

I find it hilarious that Claythan tonight decides to write a story about Pioli possibly getting NE closure before accepting the Chiefs job..

(and no, I didn't read it, but saw the first paragraph)

Didn't a poster on Arrowhead Pride post this information? Did you cite him?

Do you enjoy basically stealing other people's ideas for stories?

You also might try citing the direct source instead of saying "A recent report.." instead of attributing the information to Adam Schefter about the GM candiates.

I'm sure you'll pull the "Nick is talking to his sources" bullshit about this one, but if anyone ever did this to WPI, you'd be calling all your fake lawyers at scout.com.

What ****ing trash.

It clearly gives credit to Adam Schefter and the NFL network. It is in the second paragraph, regarding the GMs.

I agreed that I thought both he and his readers would be better served to have gone about it in a different way, which indicates that I agree he could have used better "form," but it doesn't change the fact that he didn't do anything wrong.

Frankly, if I were writing the story and I chose to go the route he did, I would have left my byline off the article. But then, if it'd been my website or the people working under me in my department, I would have rather we written a preview paragraph and linked to the article, in this instance using our news site as an aggregator of sorts, unless the source were my direct competition.

I'm not talking about Schefter. I'm talking about ripping off Arrowhead Pride.

Do you have the links available? Can you post a link to AP's, Schefter's and Claton's reports?

I'm intrigued. I'd just like to take a look. It's too difficult to talk about this in generalities anymore.

I don't have Claythan's article available.

My gripe is he stole information from Arrowhead Pride, and tried to pass it off as his own to look like he has some scoop.

The Arrowhead Pride one is on there from Lanier63.

I could care less about the Schefter part. He must have updated it after I saw it last night.

You are reaching. I have re-read both. They are both speculating about the same possibilities, that isnt illegal. The WPI article is far more in depth, perhaps they liked the IDEA and expanded on it. Perhaps they never read the Arrowhead Pride post? It doesnt even appear to be an article.

Keep drinking the kool-aid.

Maybe Claythan will send you a pirated highlight video for your troubles.

**Fire Me Boy!** · 01-11-2009, 10:13 AM

If he changed it he's not standing behind his work, and there must be a reason for it. So maybe he realized he didn't do his job right and didn't give credit where credit was due.

No way I can know.

Me neither, but I'm done going round and round about it.

You sure made a lot of fuss over an article you admittedly havent read and dont have access to.

Poster at Arrowhead Pride posts yesterday afternoon that Pioli will be GM by Monday, he just has to tie up things with New England.

That night, Athan writes a whole story about:

Pioli Seeking New England Closure?

Yeah, I'm sure it's just a massive, massive coincidence.

I've worked with Nick. I know he takes others ideas, and makes up information.

Hopefully he apoints you mod for a day for your loyal behavior.

But be careful, they might threaten to get their fake lawyers after you.

They have very real lawyers, unfortunately.

It's about time Claythan got his ass lit up after all the shit he has pirated.

Just calling it like I see it.

I guess I don't understand why anyone cares what happens at WPI. I don't think I've visited that site in over a year.
