Chiefs file tampering charges vs. Lions
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/K...t-Lions-120210
Already guaranteed another losing season, the Detroit Lions’ woes might be getting worse. FOXSports.com has learned that the Kansas City Chiefs have filed tampering charges with the NFL against the Lions. The exact nature of the complaint wasn’t immediately known. The league defines tampering as any interference with the employer-employee relationship of another franchise or any attempt by a club to impermissibly induce a person to seek employment with that team or the NFL itself. If found guilty, the Lions could be fined and/or stripped of at least one draft pick. One of the parties believed mentioned in Kansas City’s grievance is Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, who held the same position with the Chiefs from 2004 to 2008. Cunningham made at least one public comment that could be constituted as tampering prior to this year’s free-agent signing period. “(Kansas City) keeps wanting to dump their players. I would like to be there to catch a lot of them because I know a couple of those guys,” Cunningham told the Detroit Free Press in February. The Lions didn’t sign any of Kansas City’s free agents. The only player currently on Detroit’s roster who played under Cunningham is backup defensive lineman Turk McBride. He was claimed off waivers in September 2009. The NFL, the Chiefs and the Lions all declined comment. FOXSports.com wrote last year about the issue of tampering and outlined specific examples that have occurred in the NFL. |

It would have to have been someone that was at some point on the hot seat - DJ or Dorsey? There would have been no point in chatting with Flowers, he wasn't going anywhere.

they (det media) have tried to stir up that dorsey was a poor fit for the 34 and was available for less than a 1st rder. That was early in the offseason, before FA and the draft. Also DJ being avail before this year's trade deadline and early in the season.
Goonther's problem of flapping his gums and trying to take credit or more credit than others is catching up with him. With his personality and lack of doing just his own job and trying to be to involved, was a disaster for a team like DET with a rookie HC and GM. The idea on paper looks good. Former HC that has experience with current HC. But the guy is an extreme ego maniac. There was a lot of rumors about DET wanting Page as well. I imagine with Page's desperation and the dumb choice of having his brother as his agent that they could have between the two of them (gunther and someone in Page's camp or he himself) done something they shouldn't have. Just a guess though.

Ah, that's right. Forgot all about Page. It probably was over Page.
