Scott Pioli coming up on NFL Network

[doomy3]

Going to commercial right now, and then he's on...

When going to commercial, they said one of the things they would be talking about was Crabtree

[KChiefs1]

after the commercial break.

[Kyle DeLexus]

you beat me to it

[Pablo]

Please summarize for those of us stuck with shitty cable.

[KChiefs1]

you are one fast dude....

[milkman]

Hope he doesn't divulge any secrets.

[Kyle DeLexus]

I'm interested to see how much he can say while saying nothing at all

[doomy3]

Hope he doesn't divulge any secrets.

ROFL

Don't think we will have to worry about that

[KChiefs1]

he's on...

[Kyle DeLexus]

He needs some follicles.

[doomy3]

Kind of surprised he is even doing an interview

[KChiefs1]

wonder if they'll have Haley on too?

[doomy3]

said Haley was choice after watching him, saw leadership qualities in him, similar mentors, learned from a lot of the same people, very driven, similar personality traits, a kind of guy he can work with

[doomy3]

said he and Haley had conflict on decisions with Jets, but it was good conflict

[doomy3]

not looking to run this on his own, but wants to work with others on decisions

[doomy3]

"As long as Todd doesn't screw it up, we'll be OK."

[Kyle DeLexus]

Already throwing Haley under the bus ROFL

[doomy3]

Asked about TG and LJ and he basically avoided both questions.

LJ signed a contract, and he's a Chief

[Hydrae]

Already throwing Haley under the bus ROFL

Hehe, that was my thought as well. I bet he has the bus schedule memorized. :)

[doomy3]

Asked about if we are looking QB in the draft, he said, "this is a 2-14 team. We need good players. We're looking for a lot of things."

[Deberg_1990]

Said LJ was under contract and is a Chief.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Red flag on not performing

[doomy3]

combine is important because you get to see different things. Finding out medically where they're at. Will players choose to perform or will they not choose to perform

[doomy3]

asked if it irks him if players don't participate in the combine, he said, if you're good, why wouldn't you want to come out and perform

[Kyle DeLexus]

Overall not a bad interview for knowing you won't get any info out of it

[Bearcat]

"As long as Todd doesn't screw it up, we'll be OK."

LMAO

[doomy3]

Overall not a bad interview for knowing you won't get any info out of it

yeah, I think he speaks pretty well. he didn't say anything though.

[milkman]

I'm interested to see how much he can say while saying nothing at all

Reminds me of an old song, that maybe should be the Chiefs new theme song.

"You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All".

[milkman]

Red flag on not performing

A strike against Stafford already.

[doomy3]

It was weird that going to break before he came on, they said "Scott Pioli joins us next, and we'll get his thoughts on Michael Crabtree."

Then they didn't even ask him about him. Wonder if they were instructed not to...

[CosmicPal]

He seems like a pretty nice guy. It's like night and day compared to Peterson.

[doomy3]

A strike against Stafford already.

yep, that was my thought as well

[the Talking Can]

A strike against Stafford already.

yup

[Deberg_1990]

I really got the impression hes keeping Gonzo and LJ.

[Fritz88]

"As long as Todd doesn't screw it up, we'll be OK."

ROFL

[doomy3]

I really got the impression hes keeping Gonzo and LJ.

I kind of do too. Almost like he agrees with them being upset over this clusterfuck they have been dealing with. Kind of like Moss wanting out of Oakland back in the day

[Frankie]

asked if it irks him if players don't participate in the combine, he said, if you're good, why wouldn't you want to come out and perform

Good, sounds like we won't go after Stafford. ;)

[FAX]

Awesome.

Give 'em hell, Pioli.

[ChiefRon]

Specifically, he was asked it like this, "So you have the 3rd pick in the draft, might you be in the market for a QB?"

To which he replied: "With the 3rd pick? Are you fucking crazy? Don't you know I drafted Tom fucking Brady in the 6th round? Moron!"

lol, rep.

even though i only got the paraphrased version, sounds like more info than we've got ALL off season. looking forward to the pioli era, at the least i have hope again.

[Simplex3]

Listen up Stafford.

[Fritz88]

i like

[Mecca]

In fairness here alot of the top players at their positions don't do anything at the combine.

[doomy3]

In fairness here alot of the top players at their positions don't do anything at the combine.

And Pioli doesn't like that. That is all.

[Mecca]

That's just a Tom Condon thing if you hire him as an agent and you are considered a top player he will tell you to do things like this Staffords doing what he's told.

[doomy3]

Actually, Stafford said that it was his choice, not his agent's.

[Mecca]

That surprises me, but at the same time Stafford when he talks comes across in my opinion like he's saying what he's been told to say.

the manchurian prospect?

[soundmind]

I think a large number of these guys are quite obviously coached and scripted. That's what you had to love about Ryan last year, you could see and appreciate someone who sincerely felt like he was ready to get to work, not like he was owed something, or "protecting his value".

This has to be a boost for Sanchez in my opinion as well - though it sounds shakier and less likely all the time.

[GoHuge]

I thought he was great compared to what we've had as a GM for years. Very cool very personable. I laughed out loud when he made the comment about Todd not screwing it up. To make a joke like that two people have to be very comfortable with each other. It feels like something very good is about to happen around here.

I agree with all of this.

As do I, somehow I was calmed a lot by that short, otherwise uninformative interview.

:Peace:

[Titty Meat]

Scott Pioli is our GM. Still sounds beautiful

[ArrowheadHawk]

Scott Pioli is our GM. Still sounds beautiful

At least some of your posts aren't retarded.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

And Pioli doesn't like that. That is all.

Or he's bluffing.

[Skip Towne]

Scott Pioli is our GM. Still sounds beautiful

He's no Bill Self but he'll do.

[Bowser]

He's no Bill Self but he'll do.

So Pioli won't bail on us in the middle of the night for Oklahoma State? Sweet.

[HMc]

Or he's bluffing.

Right. I can't believe anyone takes anything these guys say at face value, especially with free agency and the draft coming up.

Anyway, he's saying what a good GM should say, of course they should be promoting combine participation.

[HMc]

Actually, Stafford said that it was his choice, not his agent's.

Do you always believe what you're told?

Of course he wants to appear like he's calling the shots. I guess at the end of the day he is calling the shots, but he's certainly acting on advice.

:spock:

Is there a reason you are being a dick? Mecca posted that Stafford's agent was the reason he didn't throw. I simply pointed out that Stafford said yesterday that it was 100% his decision. Mecca said something based on his own opinion, which wasn't based on anything other than Condon's past clients. I pointed out that Stafford said the opposite, and it came from his own mouth.

[milkman]

Or he's bluffing.


Yeah.

I don't think that Stafford's decision to skip participation will influence Pioli's decision when draft time comes if he's available.

[alanm]

asked if it irks him if players don't participate in the combine, he said, if you're good, why wouldn't you want to come out and perform I think by not working out at the combine throws all kinds of red flags up to teams that it is dealing with a prima donna with a shitty agent. :shake:

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

So , they were going to ask him about Crabtree and then it never came up, that mean were drafting Crabtree!

[Frankie]

So , they were going to ask him about Crabtree and then it never came up,..

That's because Pioli had the reporter's older brother flown in and had him sit in the audience so he could see him.

I'm just saying it's a waste of time believing anything your told. About any of it.

Further, the above two statements are in no way mutually exclusive. Of course it was ultimately the players decision, but was it influenced by his agent? Probably, given a) you don't hire an agent if you'e not planning on listening to him and b) condon's record.

[Mr. Laz]

I really got the impression hes keeping Gonzo and LJ.
why wouldn't he?

unless he thinks LJ will be a cancer in the locker room he will keep him

they lose money by cutting him
apparently nobody is willing to trade much for him

:shrug:

push comes to shove you can always just give the ball to LJ until he legs fall off and then kick the POS to the curb.

ROFL Excellent!

You know that Stafford has the same agent Peyton Manning does right?

[ChiefsCountry]

You know that Stafford has the same agent Peyton Manning does right?

Former Chief player as well.

[ArrowheadHawk]

So Pioli won't bail on us in the middle of the night for Oklahoma State? Sweet.

:doh!: Are you retarded?

[RustShack]

Carls gone.

If you cut LJ and take the cap hit all at once, it only cost the Chiefs 600 grand more against the cap than if he remains on the team.

[RustShack]

I doubt we find a better RB than LJ for next year.

[milkman]

I doubt we find a better RB than LJ for next year.

You are probably right.

I'm just pointing out that it doesn't hurt the Chiefs cap to cut or trade him.

[Mecca]

James Davis...3rd or 4th round...

[Rausch]

You are probably right.

I'm just pointing out that it doesn't hurt the Chiefs cap to cut or trade him.

We have enough cap room to do whatever the fuck we want.
