It happened near the end of the disastrous 2012 Chiefs season. Whether the moment came during a face-to-face meeting or over a conference call isn’t known. But the key members of the Hunt Family football franchise took a vote.

The voters numbered six, including Lamar Jr., Sharron, Clark and Daniel Hunt – all four of the team’s owners. Also part of the moment was Lee Derrough, former president & CEO of Hunt Midwest Enterprises and now a trustee of the Lamar Hunt and family interests in Kansas City. The sixth person involved was team president Mark Donovan.

The subject was the future of Scott Pioli as the franchise’s general manager. How much discussion, if any, that went on is not clear. What is known is that a vote was taken on whether to keep Pioli, or fire him after four years in charge of the Chiefs.

The vote was 5-1, in favor of dumping Pioli. The only vote in his favor came from Clark Hunt. …Read More!

Yeah, Google hasn't shown any interest in the Kansas City market at all. Oh, wait...

He missed on that one. Doesn't mean there wasn't smoke.

Did anyone say Google hadn't shown any interest in the KC market? No.

Did anyone say the Chiefs had sold the naming rights to Arrowhead and an announcement would come on a specific date? Yeah. Bob Gretz did.

I'm not hating on Bob. Everyone gets things wrong. Which is why "I BELIEVE HIM COMPLETELY" seems like an odd position to take.

Keep in mind that Blob defended Peterson through his mediocre then shit years. Anything Blob says I take with multiple grains of salt.

That said...

If the Dorseid can't get this done, and if we end up with another SOC on our hands, it is time for the Hunt family to get...

the ****...

OUT.

Yeaaaassss, Lil' Chiefy; I know all about Lamar's contributions to the NFL, and I don't need a ****ing recap from YOU, thanks.

The Chiefs are about the team, the fans, and the City. Period. If the ownership becomes obsolete? Well, bye. Don't care. Not one ****ing bit. In fact, I would be happier if a local or someone with ties to KC would go ahead and issue the blank check, should Clark come up short on his decision-making abilities this time.

If Hunt really wanted to keep Pioli, he would still be here. The Hunt family OWNS the team; they are the final arbiter on all decisions regarding the organization. Everyone saves face by having Clark vote to keep Scooter. Clark could of easily said, "FU it is my team; it is my decision," but he didn't. He just said, "Well, looks like I got outvoted; what choice do I have in the matter?" Clark wanted him gone just as much as anyone.

Clark voting in favor of keeping Pioli means shows future GMs that they will have the support of Clark even if things are bad; it gives them the impression that they can come in and do their job without too much owner interference. That is something top-flight GMs will want.

I care. If for no other ****ing reason....because I travel a lot and I'm tired of having to avoid the "where I'm from" conversation because I'm always asked about why the Chiefs suck every year. Add to it that the main problem with the team - the family that owns the team - is almost never seen as the root of the problem, and it's not a problem that's going to get fixed.

Nobody has ever really given me shit about being a Chiefs fan (well except here oddly enough). You must look like a giant vagina.

ChiefsCountry · 06-22-2013, 02:13 PM

So who paid to read the rest of Bob Gretz's article? Like to see that before we all stroke out.

LOL, you don't travel evidently. Or go to sports bars. I get it...

It's all in fun, but it sucks having to admit that your town's teams A) do suck horribly, and B) will prolly never win because of their owners. And to claim otherwise in a discussion just makes you look ignorant.
