Chiefs So I met our GM today - Page 5

RunKC · 08-17-2012, 07:56 PM

One of my boss's has a daughter that goes to school with Pioli's daughter. Their wives have become good friends. Well I was with my boss today at lunch with another lady I work with (we were the employee's of the quarter and one of the perks to that is going to lunch with our boss at a nice place and getting a free meal.)
Well Pioli shows up with his wife and daughter and eats with us. I was really shocked by this. First thing they talk about is how grandpa (Bill Parcells) is a "softy" when he's around his granddaughter.

Anyway. First thing I ask him about is Peyton Manning. He simply said that Manning didn't return his phone calls after he told his agent that he didn't want to spend that kinda money on a guy ($18 million dollars this year). Can't really say I blame him, but still.

Next thing he talked about was Belicheck. He just said that Bill comes to KC often during the offseason and stays in their spare bedroom. Said he's basically their family.

His wife next said that Pioli is never home. Never. Ever. He's always at Arrowhead. Always. She also said something interesting. Pioli has a suite for his family at home games. Well he's never in it with his family. His wife said he's in the "crows nest" by himself. He's up there with binoculars, a pencil, and a notebook to take several pages of notes.

Here's the part you guys will like. I asked him how he felt about Cassel. He chuckled when I asked and said "I was waiting for that question". He said that he believes that Cassel can take this team very far, even to the SB. I wanted so bad to give him the

face, but I didn't. So I asked him what he would do if Cassel plays badly? He said "well he won't be here if that's the case." I asked him who he'd replace him with (he looked kinda annoyed when I asked this) and he said "we've already looked at QB's. We look at every QB possible every year no matter what the situation.

That kinda sparked me to divert the convo to the draft, so I asked him how many notes he takes on a player, specifically how much he wants to know. He told me that he has endless pages of notes on each player and he knows each player in every aspect you could think of, especially from a character standpoint.

I thought the funniest thing was when his wife made him tell the Tom Brady story. "Tommy" as Pioli calls him, was in the locker room and Pioli came to see Belicheck and the team. A security officer taps him him on the shoulder and says "a lady is trying to get into the locker room to see Tom. She has a cigarette in her hand (not lit) and appeared to be tipsy. Shekeeps saying you know who I am so let me in already." Pioli goes out to see her and essentially kicks her out of the building! Pioli doesn't know who it is. Turns out it was Gisele. His wife looks to him and says "that was Gisele sweaty. Don't you know who that is?" Pioli said "I do now, but it doesn't matter. I don't care who she is, nobody should act that way."

It was like a 5 minute convo, but it was well worth it. Take it for what you will.

I figured that was your fault

don't know whether to believe it or not

I wouldn't of had to balls to grill him like a reporter
I wouldn't think he would answer them anyway, he would duck,dodge and move on.

oh well

I think something else people need to realize is that Pioli isn't like your average celebrity in KC. He isn't going to concerts like Haley/Flowers, going to nightclubs like Sabby Pissandshitty, or going to events like Charles (DJ'ing).

I really think he does spend almost all of his time at Arrowhead. If there isn't something to talk about with the team during the season, you can bet he's talking to the scouts and looking up players for the next draft (as said in the book about him).

I don't think the guy gets out that often. Probably only to see his daughter at certain times.

99% of the people in this world are afraid to approach anyone with any type of celebrity. Scared is likely the better adjective.

I don't buy this "report" for a minute. The guy has no credibility and I don't believe that Scott Pioli, or his wife, would freely discuss the Chiefs OR Patriots in a public forum such as a school cafeteria.

I call big time bullshit.

Yeah, everyone is saying it's believable, but the idea that Pioli would have answered questions about Cassel to some random employee of his wife's friend's husband is a little hard to swallow. Guess it doesn't really matter either way since there's no real revelations here.

**DaneMcCloud** · 08-17-2012, 10:35 PM

For the record, Gisele Bunchen quit smoking in 2003 when she was with DiCaprio. She didn't hook up with Brady until late 2006.

This guy is full of horseshit.

not to disagree with you. i "brushed shoulders" with Pioli and haley @ the bon jovi concert @ sprint center a few years ago. they were walking from the stage/backstage area to i'm assuming a suite/vip section.

it's in a thread around here somewhere. my brush with greatness?

yup, bon jovi concerts. i'm cool.

This

Yet all of these suckers are falling in line for some n00b dumbass who just hours ago, was deep in the red and completely full of shit.

Sacha Baron Cohen was right.

I would never give Roger shit. If he says he heard it I believe him. This guy, not so much.
