****The Official Save Our Chiefs Movement Thread****

[Frazod]

If there is at least double the amount that we have now, and if this hits the news like some have said, then I bet the Chiefs may come out w/ some kind of statement. Esp, if ESPN gets their hands on it LMAO


I'm all for the Nov.18th total Blackout game.

Well, Whitlock's on the case, and he eats shit like this up. It'll certainly get some play on the FoxSports website.

I wonder if they'll show the plane on TV? Or be under orders not to?

This could get really interesting.

[Gonzo]

Do you all think if Pioli gets informed about this, he'll take actions to stop it?

I was thinking about emailing columnists but thought better of it... Of course, it could be a pr nightmare, (pun intended) if he did so.

At any rate: j-Whitlock
BallState0@aol.com

[BryanBusby]

There's no chance of the banner actually making it onto national TV.

I suspec not to. The networks are whores to the nfl.

[Marty Mac Ver 2.0]

PR, can we link up this banner to the Save Our Chiefs social media push we are trying to create?

What's he going to do if the plane is already paid for?

[Frazod]

There's no chance of the banner actually making it onto national TV.

If the story gets enough coverage beforehand, they might have no choice.

[MIAdragon]

How much would the billboard cost?

Working on that.

[MIAdragon]

If the story gets enough coverage beforehand, they might have no choice.

I can see ESPN running with it.

[BryanBusby]

If the story gets enough coverage beforehand, they might have no choice.
I think after watching Shannon Sharpe having to stop himself before he went into a tirade over how awful Matt Cassel is, it's not going to happen in any way.

As MIA mentioned, ESPN might run with it but CBS will not touch it.

[alnorth]

There's no chance of the banner actually making it onto national TV.

At a bare minimum, it'll get a mention before kick-off, and probably also during the sportscenter recap of our hilariously lopsided loss.

[pr_capone]

Working on that.

I sent an info request to the people who manage this particular billboard.

Didn't hear back from them. I'll call them on Wed and get a quote.

[Frazod]

I think after watching Shannon Sharpe having to stop himself before he went into a tirade over how awful Matt Cassel is, it's not going to happen in any way.

That was curious. Did he stop himself, or did the producer give him a STFU in his earpiece?

All the local media has been tweeted with a link to this thread. Whitlock already re-tweeted it.

Oh and 610 already mentioned it during the 5 o'clock drive home

And Fox 4 is going to interview PR.

[BryanBusby]

I hope I'm wrong though. Would love nothing more than to see FIRE PIOLI on my 55" LED.

That was curious. Did he stop himself, or did the producer give him a STFU in his earpiece?
Wouldn't surprise me if a producer told him to shut up. You know he wanted to trash the hell out of the turd.

You know what he could do, don't lie....

AA guns in the press boxes.

Seriously, though... I doubt anything like this would ever make national press seeing that the nfl has all the major networks in their pockets and no bad pub really gets out. So, Pioli wouldnt really worry about it much. I guess he could always do the whole $$$$ thing, though.

I think national media is more for vanity and "gee look what we did" more than anything.

We need the local media to whip up a furystorm. Obviously talk radio guys are always game to stir stuff up (even when they have to make up a non-existent controversy to get people to call in), but if this became some sort of recurring theme on local TV and print media to the point where Joe average chiefs fan starts noticing this and deciding to demand that Pioli get axed, we may have something going.

That should be the billboard.

[luv]

What happened to the days of just wearing bags over our heads? I understand not putting money into the organization, but I can think of better things we could put our money towards. I may not agree, but best of luck to you.

[Raiderhater]

You know, this is basically a ChiefsPlanet declaration of war. I wonder if Pioli will react to it?

I remember when you wrote that letter to King Carl in regards to Romonowski possibly coming to KC and posted it here for anyone to sign if they wanted. We got a pretty positive reaction out of that.

This reminds me of that. Although certainly taken several notches higher. I love this place. :)

[Chief_For_Life58]

As MIA mentioned, ESPN might run with it but CBS will not touch it.

espn cbs nfl network none of them talk or give a shit about the chiefs. never. we get almost zero coverage compared to the average team in the nfl on national tv. I was surprised when I saw him say that. You'd think being a donk he'd be all for caserole. like Tom Jackson "Oh hes looking good."

Whata bunch of bullshit

I dont care if the national media picks this up or not anyway. All that matters is that all the chief fans at the game and around the nation see it and talk about it and Clark realizes that change needs to happen.
Clark you want to actually be a good nfl owner? Its really quite simple................Start with a franchise 1st round qb

[alnorth]

That should be the billboard.

the "donate to" and paypal email address thing might be a little much. Should be a URL for a page that then suggests ways to get involved.

[Titty Meat]

LMAO

****ing awesome.

It's cool because Jaycee Pearson is one of the radio personalities and played for the team when they were awful and he says this would be the first time ever Chiefs fans did something like that. Just think this all pretty much started from a message board civil war over Cassel/Pioli ROFL

[Frazod]

I'm not sure why Clark gets a free pass. Here's my billboard idea:

[Marty Mac Ver 2.0]

the official email of @SaveOurChiefs and http://www.facebook.com/SaveOurChiefs is saveourchiefs@gmail.com

Just so we are clear, I am not taking donations at this time nor do I have access to the email address posted above.

Not trying to be a dick either, just want everyone to understand. :)

[Dayze]

If the billboard would become a viable option, I'd consider dipping into my Kimber CustomII TLE fund to throw down a hundy

They call that foreplay in Springfield for chrissakes.
This has the potential to be one of the biggest things CP has ever accomplished, really.

[Marty Mac Ver 2.0]

www.saveourchiefs.com goes to the Facebook page for now. Need to get a web site going unless we just roll with social media on this. Thoughts?

[teedubya]

its on the chiefs reddit. Shuold go on the NFL reddit as well.

Nicely done. Let's post it on Sunday after we can get a picture of it... and get blown out by the Ravens on http://reddit.com/r/nfl :-)

[AustinChief]

the "donate to" and paypal email address thing might be a little much. Should be a URL for a page that then suggests ways to get involved.

I agree. Right now Www.saveourchiefs.com goes to the Facebook page run by MartyMac... but when this reaches the point where the website needs to be promoted, we can easily add more info to the website and have it link to the facebook page and include a feed or whatever, you can put future plans there and the link to donate to get things done.

I set up the site and will install any CMS or Facebook widgets that are needed, but don't look at me for design! I am crap. :D

[|Zach|]

It will get attention if it gets up and going. They key will be getting a really good photo of it that can spread around.

Wouldn't surprise me if a producer told him to shut up. You know he wanted to trash the hell out of the turd.

His reaction made it seem like he was told to stop. "he turns the football over he..ok..he can't play..I'm done"

Then no one wanted to touch the Matt Cassel topic so I'm pretty sure they were told to move on to something else.

[Dayze]

What happened to the days of just wearing bags over our heads? I understand not putting money into the organization, but I can think of better things we could put our money towards. I may not agree, but best of luck to you.

Because, IMO, paper bags are like placing some black cats to breech a door. Whereas a banner is throwing down some explosives, tossing in some flashbangs, and throwing semen on everything.

Pioli and Clark care too much about perception perception. That paper bags to them are like having those little pieces of toilet paper Leftover on your balloon knot...simply an annoyance.

[Raiderhater]

How ****ed up is it that you remember this but I don't? LMAO


Uh, pretty f#cked up. You seriously do not remember that? I could be wrong and it was someone else but, I know I'm not. Your hatred of Denver in general and Romo in particular drove you to write Carl a letter threating him in some way (fandom, boycott... nothing physical surprisingly) if the dude was signed. You actually got a reply back assuring you and all signees that we had nothing to worry about.

[AustinChief]

If only we knew of a good photographer....

[the Talking Can]

i sent you the money

thanks for doing it

it is a very real and distinct possibility bordering on likelyhood.

if I could get someone to call me back on the damn thing... it would be massively helpful so we know what we are shooting for. lol

[RunKC]

Um ESPN showed the stupid billboard of Donkey fans campaigning for Tebow last year.

They sure as hell can show this.

Well, we got an away game and a bye week after we get crushed this weekend, so there's time. If the billboard idea isn't viable for some odd reason, we can always just keep flying the banner.

[Marty Mac Ver 2.0]

Can somone whip up a FB Cover image along the lines of:

It's Time For a New Chiefs Legacy
www.saveourchiefs.com

And integrate images of Stramm-era, Schottenheimer-era and tease the future with Jamaal Charles?

How so?

37 Forever was essentially formed, operated, and funded almost exclusively by members of ChiefsPlanet. Though putting Delaney into the Ring of Honor wasn't what we set out to do, we were all about exposure and remembering the man and his unselfish final act. That eventually culminated in his induction into the Chiefs Ring and aside from funding the Delaney grandchildren swimming lessons, it was one of the last things 37 Forever did before they folded.

We could stage a sit in at Arrowhead some random Sunday. We could probably even tailgate in the parking lot beforehand. They probably won't let us in if we don't buy tickets though. It could work.

[hoops886]

And just like that, he's gone...

[AustinChief]

It's too bad we couldn't get one up in Texas, so, you know, Clark could see it.

I know Clark's neighborhood... not much in the way of billboards. I can't even think of any between where he lives and where he works... well, there are some on 75 but they aren't very visible because the highway is sunken... and that is also serious prime downtown Dallas advertising.. so it would cost a fortune and probably never get noticed... he is far more likely to see one in KC.

[|Zach|]

An idea that I have but have no desire to act upon that I think would be more effective. Not more so than the banner idea...that is a good one.

The billboard one I think isn't quite as good...and its really pricey. Instead of having one big message in one place I feel like having an interesting compelling message in a ton of places would be good.

Stickers made...flyers...and just put them everywhere in the city. Something people connect with visually but also gets the message across with a website or something.

[pr_capone]

Absolutely hysterical. I was typing up a post saying essentially the same thing. Print off flyers and post them up all over the city. Bus stops, light posts, electric boxes, park benches, colleges.... everywhere.

[pimpchief]

Maybe we could pull together enough money to donate to charity to convince Clark to sit down and have a chat over dinner or something with some cp vets who are willing to tell him to his face to wake the fuck up.

[Dayze]

We could donate it to the blind and retarded.

[Chief_For_Life58]

im just spitting ideas here but do you think the banner is a little too straight forward/mean/too much?
maybe something instead like....
Clark, do you not see the problem with this team?
or
Clark: We all see the problem. Do you?
or...?


I say this because what could the repercussions/ if any be from us doing this?

I just don't want anything bad to happen to my team because we, the fans want the best.......Is the banner phrase a little too much to start with our campaign for a contending team?

[|Zach|]

Absolutely hysterical. I was typing up a post saying essentially the same thing. Print off flyers and post them up all over the city. Bus stops, light posts, electric boxes, park benches, colleges.... everywhere.

It would be best if it was catchy visually. Not a lot of words. I really honestly don't want to make this political in the least but from a messaging\design school of thought something like the Obama marketing stuff that was made with the face and the two colors and simple wording.

Maybe a "STOP THE MADNESS" with Clark's photo.

[pimpchief]

No more exhibition games left. Just a few regular season games before the post season as the top seed in their conference. :D

Am I a pos bandwagon fan if I've always talked shit on soccer, know none of the rules, but decide to now start learning and buy sporting kc gear because they are a good team?

Clark: We all see the problem. Do you?
or...?


I say this because what could the repercussions/ if any be from us doing this?

I just don't want anything bad to happen to my team because we, the fans want the best.......Is the banner phrase a little too much to start with our campaign for a contending team?

What bad could happen? Contending team? You're talking about the chiefs right?

[pimpchief]

Well you are a bandwagoner but hey. The league is only 17 years old. You are not alone..especially in KC. Enjoy what you enjoy.

I enjoy when the home team wins.

[AustinChief]

OMG. Phase 3. Put a billboard near Clark's house in Dallas. Lmao

Not a chance. There are basically two routes to work he can take from his badass neighborhood (which is already close to the downtown office that he would go to).

Route #1 (the one I would take) has ZERO billboards, is scenic and avoids crazy Dallas drivers... but is probably 10 minutes slower than...

Route #2 (75) has him drive on an often congested freeway which is sunken and has very limited views of any billboards.. there is basically ONE prime location to target. The billboard that smacks you square in the face when you take the Live Oak exit. This one would be the only feasible option, but I doubt he would see it much himself because if I were him, I would probably take Route #1. BUT his employees would certainly see it on the way to the office.

Problem is.. it is PRIME ad space and would likely cost a fortune. may be worth checking though.

As of right now, we can only afford the pregame. I prefer pregame though as that is when the largest numbers of Chiefs fans will be there. Half of the already half-empty stadium will be out the door by the end of the 3rd quarter and they have to wait for an hour after the game ends before they are able to fly there again.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Ha, would love to see the look on Cassel's face reading this.

You're assuming he can read words better than he can read a defense...

[TimeForWasp]

It is an inspired idea, but I agree that a protest outside of One Arrrowhead (with a tip to the media) would be more effective. To be truely effective, the banner would need to be done during the game and picked up on TV.

If you are going to do a banner, I would delete the point about firing Pioli. That isn't going to happen this year. You turn Pioli against us as well. If you just call for the replacement of Cassel (and maybe RAC), then Pioli can get behind it more easily (as can Clark Hunt). Though Casshole has been seen as Pioli's golden boy, if there is a fan riot, he can use that as an excuse to agree with Hunt to select a QB in the first round next year.

Pioli's failings have been the 2009 draft, as seeing Cassel with ill-founded rose colored glasses. Otherwise, he has drafted fairly well and has done okay with recent free agent signings. His selection of RAC as head coach is understandable. I supported it at the time. Now it is clear that it was a mistake.

Again, Pioli does not get fired this year (regardless of what Babb and Mellinger chant). It is better to focus on getting rid of the most important failing of the organization -- Cassel. The second biggest failing, I hate to say, is Crennel. Focus on the most important and don't dilute the message by spreading the hate too broadly.


I agree too

Chiefs fans to protest by flying banner over stadium

October 2, 2012 - 12:51 am · 0 comments

by Zack Kelberman

in Kansas City Chiefs

They just got beat down at home by a bitter rival, are sitting in the AFC West cellar with a 1-3 record, and have many within the organization ready to turn the page on quarterback Matt Cassel.

It’s fair to conclude the Chiefs are in a bad place.

And with the Ravens coming to town in Week 5, smart money is on it going from bad to worse.

Despite handing Romeo Crennel the head coaching reigns, hoping he could change the culture tainted by Todd Haley, fundamental issues remain within the team, leading to blowout losses, a poor record and dwindling hope of a successful season.

It’s unfortunate considering the devout fanbase that still comes out in full force each week, even when there’s little to cheer for. However, the dismal situation has led to boiling point for those very fans, who’ve resorted to their own ‘Occupy’ movement in hopes of nudging upper management’s hand.

With the monetary commitment of fellow fans, one member of a Chiefs message board has organized a banner to fly over Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday, calling for, among other things, the firing of general manager Scott Pioli and benching of Cassel. As of early Tuesday morning, $1,055 have been raised for the cause. The tentative plan is for the banner to go airborne before kickoff, and perhaps take to the sky after the game, too.

They’re not stopping there, either. If enough money is raised, the same banner also could be flown at the next home contest, presumably to grab the attention of owner Clark Hunt.

Or so they wish.

I get that desperate times call for desperate measures, but we’ve seen this before and it never ends as hoped. Just six months ago, Dolphins fans lined the streets outside the team facilities, protesting for nearly the exact same reasons. The end result? Just a bunch of people given an excuse to shout and flaunt signs, while changing absolutely nothing.

Though this venture is more expensive, the outcome will ultimately turn out the same and, if anything, land a few folks on the local news.

But, hey, A+ for effort; at least they’re trying. Unlike the team, apparently.

[DMAC]

Watch us beat the Ravens. LMAO

[gblowfish]

I had $1400 in car repairs over the past week, so I'm going to have to pass for now. If it flys again at another game, maybe I'll have some actual $ by then....

I would have to laugh.....and then cry.

[The Franchise]

It's on 610 right now.

[In58men]

It's on 610 right now.

Is there a way to listen to the show when it's over?

[The Franchise]

They think it's cool that we did it.....but it won't change anything. This cost $650.....Clark Hunt has a billion dollars.

[ChiTown]

They are applauding the effort, but thinks it's foolish if we think it's going to enact any real change.

[Chief Pote]

I'm in for 20.00 PR.

I wonder how much he values his reputation. Media coverage of his team's fan absolutely hating on the chiefs has to be valued pretty high.

Its not a friggin' presidential election where we have to raise hundreds of millions and the chiefs are going to buy up attack ads countering out banner, etc.

Oh, and Carrington (you raving phucking douchebag) just because I donated $50, doesn't mean that $50 would have gone to some charity I somehow cheated. One has nothing to do with the other. That's like saying, because I decided to spend $50 extra at a Chiefs game buying some grub, that I could have spent it on Charity. What a fug tard

Yeah, that was the dumbest part of it.

Then they'll have a shot at 3-3 going into the bye week and with a little luck, 5-3 going into the Monday night game in Pittsburgh and have a real shot at winning the division!


derp derp

[ChiTown]

Yeah, that was the dumbest part of it.

I'd like to kick Carrington right in his fat kunt.

[The Franchise]

Carrington thinks that if you donate $50 to a banner....you have your priorities wrong.


Fuck him.

[Reerun_KC]

If the Chiefs counter these ads. It just proves the point we are trying to make.

Candy wrappers vs a winning product.

Not hard to figure out.
