Good to hear on the Dorsey front. From the moment the report came out, it was hard to buy. Can't see Dorsey wanting to leave what he has built here, not this early. With Ballard gone, there is ZERO way we can let Dorsey leave.

Yes. He is invested in Sporting Kansas City. I have no doubt that is what he cares most about is winning soccer championships.

That doesn't make sense, as he is owner of FC Dallas.

You guys should invite Clark to a CP Tailgate party next year. Maybe he'll stop by for a beer and some chicken wings!

That's not a Lamar Hunt trophy in his hands nor is it the coveted Lombardy trophy either.

They just need to take my advice on this. When a team has a Thursday game, they have a bye the previous week. Then they can travel out of the country, play on a Thursday night after having 11 days since their last game. Then the next game is 10 days later. This allows for plenty of time to rest, travel, and prepare for a good game. Much better than the crap we get on Thursday nights now.

[Chief_For_Life58]

London maybe works. but its still a 5 hour flight to nyc? logistically how would that work. I see mexico city working pretty well as a new city for nfl. Huge population and mexicans really do like nfl quite alot.

[Chief_For_Life58]

lamar cares but he doesnt have the real passion for football like alot of other owners. he just sees the bottom line and is happy cus its a golden goose. his true passion probably is soccer. chiefs are just a business to him. but then again he does seem like he cares. He just believes that if he puts the right people in charge and he steps back and doesnt micromanage that things will work out. I agree half way with that. it is what it is. We could have a better owner, but we could have a wayyyyy worse owner too.

[DaneMcCloud]

lamar cares but he doesnt have the real passion for football like alot of other owners.

There is zero evidence to support these statements.

He fired Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards barely two years after he took over as CEO. He hired someone, that at the time, was the considered to be the best GM candidate in the NFL, with multiple Executive of the Year awards. That GM proceeded to hire the offensive coordinator of the previous year's Super Bowl runner up.

Once he realized the failure of the front office and coaching staff, he once again wiped the slate clean (for a reported $20 million dollar buyout of the GM) and hired the best available coach and personnel man. Since that time, they've made the playoffs three out of four years, upgraded the talent on the roster, which has resulted in a better record for the last three years.

Not only that, he was instrumental in the latest CBA negotiations and helped bring the Rams to Los Angeles, where they'll play in a $2.6 billion dollar flagship stadium.

I think that Clark has shown that he's deeply invested in the NFL.

[kccrow]

Hunt owns FC Dallas Burn not SKC Wiz.

Here's some help with the reading comprehension...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporting_Kansas_City

Lamar Hunt sold the club in August 2006 to OnGoal, LLC, a six-man ownership group led by Cerner Corporation co-founders Neal Patterson and Cliff Illig, a local group committed to keeping the Wizards in Kansas City.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Dallas

Dallas plays its home games at the 20,295-capacity (16,215 beginning with the 2016 season due to the United States Soccer Hall of Fame construction in the south end) soccer-specific Toyota Stadium, where they have played since 2005. The team is owned by Hunt Sports Group (led by Clark Hunt, who with other members of the Hunt family, also owns the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs).

[FloridaMan88]

No questions about the future direction of the offense, specifically Andy Reid continuing to call plays?

Since Reid reports directly to Clark, he is the only person who can force a change so it would have been a relevant question to ask.

[SAUTO]

In your defense I think that statement worked for Lamar as well as Clark.

I disagree

I have 0 doubt Clark is a hell of a business man and business is making money. Like it's been said this is a cash cow with a winning football team he knew he had to get rid of Herm and then getting rid of Piolii the 20 million payout is still better for business than keeping him.

I'm sure in all of hearts Clark Hunt wouldn't want anything less than a Super Bowl but it just doesn't seem like it for how long it is taking but then again some teams have never gotten there in the first place.



I do remember when Clark Hunt became Chairmen of the Board that he did say he believes in building a championship team in the draft but year after year we have not invested in drafting a QBotf. That is above and beyond my most flustrating part of being a Chiefs fan for about 30 years. I'm still hopeful if not this year then next year we do finally invest in a QBotf in the draft and then I will believe Clark and the Chiefs are invested in winning a Super Bowl.

Clark talking about a first rd QB with Terez Paylor:


▪ Hunt is aware that the Chiefs have not selected quarterback in the first round of the draft since Todd Blackledge in 1983, so by proxy, Hunt also understands why some fans might think the club won’t go that route, though he contends that’s not necessarily the case.

“If you’ve been a fan of the franchise for a long time, they haven’t seen us take a first-round quarterback and have him develop into a franchise player, and it’s been a while since we’ve taken a quarterback that high,” Hunt said. “Philosophically, there’s nothing against taking a first-round quarterback, and I think you can look at Andy (Reid) and John (Dorsey’s) history and see that they’ve done that.”

They have one. It's called soccer. You know how they do it? Mostly by not fucking with regular competitive play to do it.

They play a bunch of tournaments against different continents. And they play a ton of "friendlies" in the US. If Goodell thinks putting a team or just as bad, meaningful regular seasons games, in Europe makes sense he's a dipshit.

You are delusional. No way this city gets behind an NHL team. The hockey fans in the area are mostly Blackhawks or Blues fans already. They would need to generate new hockey fans in the area. It's not like the NHL has been attracting new fans at a record pace since Disney stopped making the Mighty Ducks films

So? I'm pretty certain we could fill the Sprint Center. As long as he doesn't own it I think the team would have a fighting chance of winning the Stanley cup, even if I'm the only one who showed up to watch.

[POND_OF_RED]

Sprint Center holds 17,544 for hockey. No way do we even come close to filling that stadium on a regular basis. There just aren't that many dedicated hockey fans in KC who aren't transplants of some other NHL team. The NBA would have a much better chance just because of the star factor when opposing teams come to visit. The NHL just doesn't have that. You'd probably have a hard time finding 17,000 people in Kansas City who could name more than 5 current hockey players.

[TimeForWasp]

I don't know how many picks we have this year, but I think we could afford to package up a deal and trade up for somebody that will turn the tide. We don't have a whole lot of needs.

On how he deals with playoff losses and not getting to the Super Bowl:

“It’s very, very hard to get over because those opportunities don’t come along as often as you would like. We’ve been [fortunate] with Andy and John making the playoffs in three of the last four years. But getting that home game and being a step away from winning the AFC Championship game, you want to take it. I wouldn’t say I was angry, but the disappointment was hard to get over. During the regular season, if we lose it usually takes me two or three days to get over it, but a playoff like that, it was well past a week and there will be a lot of times this offseason when I look back and try to come to terms with the fact that we didn’t get there. The great thing is we get to start focusing on next year already.”

On what he was like while grieving the playoff loss:

“What I would like to do is have no outside influence and hear nothing about the National Football League for a week or so. Once we got past the conference championship games, I was able to tune back in. But I still have friends that are either calling me or when they run into me, they can’t help but bring up our season. They want to tell me what a great season it was, which is true, but it’s also a tough pill to swallow because they all start off by saying, ‘I know it didn’t end like you wanted it to.’

“If it’s a close friend, you slug them,” he joked.

London maybe works. but its still a 5 hour flight to nyc? logistically how would that work. I see mexico city working pretty well as a new city for nfl. Huge population and mexicans really do like nfl quite alot.

But with Mexico cartel and gang problems. Could the athletes be safe living there?

[Valiant]

They have one. It's called soccer. You know how they do it? Mostly by not ****ing with regular competitive play to do it.

They play a bunch of tournaments against different continents. And they play a ton of "friendlies" in the US. If Goodell thinks putting a team or just as bad, meaningful regular seasons games, in Europe makes sense he's a dipshit.

Agreed. They had their chance with the world league. They need to bring it back as a development league and have its season end when preseason begins and have them play the nfl teams.

Or

Have 2 teams control one europe team. One nfc one afc, they draft an extra 2 to 4 rounds or more. Players not on the main team regulated to europe. Increase roster sizes the last month of the league and can grab from europe.

I'm sorry, I think he tunes-out just about everything right after the millions and millions are deposited in the account, and cares less when the other mega-millions are dropped off after that. I don't buy for one second that he gets angry, at least not the way normal people do. If any of what he said is true, and that's a very small chance, maybe he ought to vent for the day after the team is fucked by many missed holding calls, then take a week off while the NLF decides if he's going to get a statistically irrelevant fine for being too honest.

I still don't think he gives enough of a shit to get angry, and sure don't think he gets mad enough that he needs to step away from the business for a week, but I do think has has a damage control team working for him. He's just saying that to make gullible people think he cares, like he's a real owner or something. He's a pretty-much a trust fund brat, wants to avoid a little well-earned scrutiny, and is willing to say such things in hopes of a few more people deciding to become/stay STH.

[kccrow]

I thought the WNBA was canceled. No?

No. Just too much movement, expansion, contraction, etc. I don't think they'll ever have enough fan support.

tell that to denver, new england, seattle, baltimore, etc. :D

[jimidollar]

Did anyone ask him if he knows that the AFC Championship trophy is called the Lamar Hunt trophy?

[Nickhead]

Did anyone ask him if he knows that the AFC Championship trophy is called the Lamar Hunt trophy?

it just dawned on me. that was the deal the devil made with lamar. he got his name on the trophy in recognition for his accomplishments, only to banish his team to mediocrity, i just want to know how long the contract was for. hope not forever. :D

[GloryDayz]

Did anyone ask him if he knows that the AFC Championship trophy is called the Lamar Hunt trophy?

I'm sure he has no clue, and is more interested in whatever name is on some soccer trophy at this point in his life. But hey, as long as "Clark Hunt" is on the mega-million dollar checks the NFL sends him every year, which keeps his mouth shut, just like always with the Hunts.

[splatbass]

lamar cares but he doesnt have the real passion for football like alot of other owners. he just sees the bottom line and is happy cus its a golden goose. his true passion probably is soccer. chiefs are just a business to him. but then again he does seem like he cares. He just believes that if he puts the right people in charge and he steps back and doesnt micromanage that things will work out. I agree half way with that. it is what it is. We could have a better owner, but we could have a wayyyyy worse owner too.

A lot of people have been saying for years that Clark only cares about soccer, but not one has ever produced any evidence this is true. It is the CP mass delusion.

[splatbass]

No questions about the future direction of the offense, specifically Andy Reid continuing to call plays?

Since Reid reports directly to Clark, he is the only person who can force a change so it would have been a relevant question to ask.

Andy will never give up play calling and Clark Hunt will never ask him to. You need to get over this whole unrealistic idea. No one but a bunch of random people on a internet board thinks that is a possibility.

[splatbass]

Well, I for one welcome the new AFC Far East division and their representative cities consisting of the:

London Jaguars
Berlin Chargers
Mumbai Rams
Chernobyl Raiders

If only we could get the Raiders to move to Chernobyl.

You're a very angry man.

[GloryDayz]

You're a very angry man.
When it comes to Clark Hunt and how he's running his Chiefs, yes I am.

CP/ Clark has been colluding with the league to keep us Chiefs fans down!



The delusion of collusion!

I honestly believe the fault lies more with Smith than Reid, Andy is trying to play to Smiths strengths with so many of those sideways calls that drive us all bonkers IMO

Do you recall a lack of chunk play attempts and/or completions when Foles was playing? I sure dont, he went downfield constantly

The fault still lies with Reid if that's the case, because he wanted Alex.

[Easy 6]

My guess is that he misjudged his ability to change Smiths playing style

No coach is perfect so I'm ok with that, if thats the case... at any rate, I sure like our chances of winning a Super Bowl with Reid a helluva lot more than with Smiff

Reid is great at scheming guys open, but he cant throw it to them

[GloryDayz]

Sorry for the Navy reference, but it seems fitting.

The fault lies with Hunt being the captain of the ship who won't intervene, privately if need be, when he sees his XO, and his senior officers not fixing their department's problems.

I'm sure some might want to elevate Hunt to playing the part of an embarked, or shore-based, Admiral, but the analogy still fits.

And if he is doing something "in private", it's not working.

Those "sideways calls" have always been part of his offense, and the WCO it is based on.

Foles played 2 games. And missed on those short passes over an over. Dude can't throw a bubble screen accurately to save his life. Maybe that is why Andy abandoned them for the long passes that weren't as successful as you remember them.

I know the "sideways calls" are a part of the WCO, but Reid doesnt always use them as often as he does with Smith

And yes, Foles missed on several of his long attempts... but at least he ****ing tried them, and that alone has a positive effect on a defense

You're constant white knighting of Smiff has gotten old, real old

[ThaVirus]

Off topic but since this is a Clay thread let's all just take a second to appreciate how ridiculously off target he was about Tyreek. I mean, you legitimately cannot be more wrong than Clay was on the situation.

I'm not white knighting him, I'm being rational and unemotional, while you guys are just emotional. You are letting your hatred of Smith blind your eyes so much you think Foles is a good QB and that Andy wouldn't be calling bubble screens if it weren't for smith. Did you watch the Eagles when Andy was coach there? Did you noticed how often he threw to Westbrook out of the backfield?

Clay has been wrong about a lot of things. It is what he does.

[ThaVirus]

Clay has been wrong about a lot of things. It is what he does.

But not as wrong as he was about Reek. The only player I can remember him being so off base with was Sean Smith.

Dont preach at me from your bullshit high horse, I've watched that mother****er for 4 years now and thats MORE than enough time to come to the logical conclusion that his inherent limitations will keep us out of the big dance unless he has an All-Time type team around him

McNabbs worst season as an Eagle more than doubled Smiff in big plays... the guy simply isnt as good as you hoped, ****ing deal with it

That about sums it up. He claims to take time off and think about things after his team is raped. I think that's what he does, goes to the bank puts his red slippers on, counts the money and reminds himself that, "there's no smell like money, there's no smell like money", or that "a truckload of cash makes dry-anal pain go down."

Gets mad my ass! That man has no backbone, pride, self respect, or concern for his team's fans. He's all about the money and keeping the trust-fund life going.

[splatbass]

Geno Smith. The "Chocolate Peni" (his words) was going to be a great QB and we would be sorry we didn't draft him.
