Arrowhead anxiety: Turnover off the field causes concern

[Dr. Gigglepants]

Secrecy, intimidation, fear and a watchful eye have become hallmarks of working for the Chiefs, say some current and former employees.

BY KENT BABB THE KANSAS CITY STAR

Todd Haley walked into the public relations office at Chiefs headquarters on a Thursday in early December. Four days before he was fired as the team’s coach, he wanted to talk about what life was like inside this organization. But he didn’t know who else might be listening.

This article goes into a lot of detail on the changes that came into effect with the Pioli regime. Sounds like a shitty ass place to work now.

Leadership is contagious. And look, your teams have won exactly as many playoff games as Pioli's have since you started caring about empty wrappers.

Now lets stop focusing on candy wrappers and start focusing on the position of QB.

Good thing they didn't find the secret entrance.

I don't know, man. I'm still a little pissed about that wrapper.

I'm concerned about that packet of salt. Somewhere, someone is having less than satisfactory french fries.

NFL: Being suspected of spying on your employees without their knowledge is okay. Just wear the correct socks, please.

Please.

The Patriot Way is a complete system that uses the talents of every single person in the organization to try to achieve the impossible: compete for a championship every year.

Granted, some years will be better than others as witness 2008 when were had to be content with 11-5 and barely missing the playoffs, but most years over the last 11 we ranged from pretty good to historically good. In case you haven't guessed 2008 was the year where you cheap-shotted Brady to the IR and Cassell did OK for himself.

The Patriot Way is for real. Check the record. Brady is better than ever, Belichick has never been more loveable, the drafts have been great and we're loaded again next spring (big surprise!). We take only good people of high moral character who love football and give them the support system they need to excel. Our guys are smart, healthy and good-looking.

They get the hottest babes and yet somehow stay annoying humble about it.

They get little respect, but rise above the opinions of others, because they motivate from within. One game at a time. Get better in all three phases. It is what it is.

Patriot Way. Too bad your guys suck or maybe you'd be getting a good up-close look at it this weekend, but you'll just have to watch in on TV and pray that we lose.

The Patriot way begins and ends with Tom Brady.

Any of those ****ing teabaggers that say any differently are the biggest lying sacks of shit ever.

[O.city]

Although I like watching the dude play qb, cause it's magnifico, I can't wait for Brady to retire.

Without Tom Brady, thats a 4 win football team.

Yeah...well...I guess Pioli wasn't the GM & President before he apparently was during wrapper-gate. As I understand it the President title for Donovan is a joke. Pioli has Carl's power without the public title. Donovan is simply his avatar on the business side...

Prior to Brady, the Patriot way did not exist. No one talked about this front-runner philosophy. BB certainly didn't have a Browns way.

The Patriots owe most of their success to Brady, but they would have been very good over the past 10 years regardless. I think they would have won their first SB with Bledsoe starting, he wouldn't have gotten them to the multiple SBs like Brady, but just as I think Trent Green could have lead the '99 Rams to a SB win, I think Bledsoe could have done what Brady did that first year.
