Apparently Pioli was in a meeting room and a tv on in the background was running a story on the Patriots and the 'Patriot Way'. I guess the tv report went on and on about Tom Brady and Bill Belichek. There was no mention of Pioli. Chadiha said he was told that Pioli got so infuriated that he was not mentioned that he got up, grabbed something off the table and threw it at the wall. He yelled 'I helped build that thing!'

So a grown man who is supposed to be leading OUR organization throwing tantrums.... These Chadiha interviews are very insightful, but so depressing.

I'm not sure how insightful they are. They are certainly entertaining stories, but they stink of people who have an axe to grind with Pioli or who are trying to smear the guy at this point. I mean seriously, a new Pioli sucks story every week? It's reaching a point where I am starting to think some ex-front office folk or ex-scouts that Pioli axed are just badmouthing the guy. If the guy was that egotistical or starved for attention and accolades, he'd be talking to the media every week like Carl did. If he was so power hungry, he could've taken a number of jobs during that whole Patriots run rather than turning down job offer after job offer in order to work behind the scenes in New England. Something just seems off and over the top with a lot of these "stories" from "people" who have talked to Chadhia...

I feel this way. If any of these stories are really 100% true then why is no one person coming out and confirming it. All we are getting is anonymous source stuff from the press. I don't know but it seems like with no real proof some of this stuff is getting close to slander.

Because people like having their NFL careers. Nobody is ever going to hire a snitch.

I'd buy that to a point but if you brought down Pioli you might further your career.

Most of the former employees, including Haley, had to sign confidentiality agreements to prevent exactly that. If they did come out and confirm it on record, the Chiefs could sue the shit out of them.

My SIL lives in KC. She goes to a chriopractor who used to work for the Chiefs during training camp. That's a pretty good gig. She said he quit the job because Pioli was a total dick all the time.

Think about that. That would be a great job to have. But the guy is much happier now that he does not have to deal with the way Pioli treats people
