Chiefs gear for Patriots game mistakenly sent to NJ

[tk13]

This is not good.

Adam Schefter
ESPN Senior Writer

An equipment container that contained some of the Chiefs' shoulder pads, helmets and footballs was not unloaded on Saturday and instead accidentally made its way to Newark, New Jersey where it now is being rushed back to Boston in time for Sunday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff between Kansas City and the New England Patriots, per league sources.

It was roughly 35 players' bags, according to a source.

Kansas City is responsible, not the Patriots or the league. The Chiefs did not take the equipment off the plane.

"I never heard that before" said one source.

The Chiefs' left-behind equipment is expected to arrive between 3 and 3:30 p.m. ET, in time for Sunday's kickoff. It the Chiefs didn't have the equipment by the the time the game started they would have to forfeit, per a source.

How much it impacts certain players that could be missing helmets or shoulder pads in warm-ups is uncertain. But the Chiefs now are doing what they can to rectify the situation.

[TLO]

What the fuck..

[Chiefspants]

The damndest things just seem to happen against the Patriots.

[Marcellus]

That shit aint happening, they will get the gear there.

[SAUTO]

Someone needs fired

[carcosa]

Lol c'mon

[Marcellus]

Someone needs fired

Oh yea thats happening.

[Cosmos]

Someone needs fired

They already accepted a promotion in Foxboro.

[SAUTO]

Oh yea thats happening.

That’s like a fire them then catch them in the parking lot to fucking fire them again offense

[Bob Dole]

All new and creative ways to fuck things up. Jeebus.

[Dayze]

That’s a fire the entire equipment staff situation.

So they just left some shit on the plane and the plane took off? When did they discover the fuck up?

[carcosa]

This will motivate the team to win one for the equipment manager who just committed seppuku!!!!

[smithandrew051]

Isn’t it funny how shit like this always happens in favor of the Patriots

[Easy 6]

You GOTTA be kidding :mad:

[C3HIEF3S]

This is incompetence at its best. Everyone in that department is gone.

[TwistedChief]

Can we please not start by blaming the Patriots for KC ineptitude?

[ptlyon]

And the equipment manager did not hang himself

[Spott]

And the equipment manager did not hang himself

Probably a little extreme. He’d just have to find another job if he got fired.

[Dayze]

Wouldn’t they or shouldn’t have they discovered this yesterday? I thought they spend saturdays getting the locker room ready the night before the game.

[MGRS13]

Chowder heads at the airport "accidentally" forgot to unload it. if they ain't cheating they ain't trying

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

They don't need to dress until 45 minutes before game time anyway. Hopefully no big deal.

[Hammock Parties]

OK so assuming the Chiefs are flying the gear in....it's a 35-45 minute flight from Newark, NJ to Foxboro, MA...

And the drive to the Stadium from nearby airports is about a half hour.

[NJChiefsFan]

How do planes take off with stuff on them from a previous flight? I guess cause charter flights are different? It's not like a school bus when a kid leaves their shirt on the bus and later that day the driver finds it.

[ptlyon]

"WHO THE FUCK HAS MY JOCK?"

[rtmike]

So the plane left...knowing it had extra cargo right?

[RunKC]

This should have been settled yesterday. A rush flight should have been booked for first thing this morning

[ptlyon]

Guess we're skins today

[Spott]

I flew through Boston this summer and the idiot ground crew there put our luggage out for baggage claim instead of putting it on our next flight. I spent the next 5 days in Europe fighting with those idiots and their dumb ass accents trying to get our bags.

[007]

Hey Chiefs, hire me and this will never happen again.

[Monkey God]

Ironic that just a few weeks ago the Chiefs did a social media spoof on "Home Alone" where the equipment guys left one of their staff behind during a road trip.

This is something we would have done in that whacko Pioli/Crennel year.

Somebody has to get fired.

[-King-]

So let's say it had flown to the west coast or something and they couldn't get it on time. Would the chiefs just go to every sports store in the NE and try to buy as many shoulder pads and red helmets as possible? Or would they really take the forfeit?

I just can’t believe the NFL would actually have a team forfeit for just about any reason. How pissed would the fans who paid be, CBS etc...No home team is just going to give up a game of profits for a jersey issue. They would find some other workaround even if they had to wear the pats practice jerseys or something. I’d imagine they would just push the game to MNF if all else had failed.

It's not just them, it's Boston sports as a whole. The Cards had hotel issues prior to Game 1 in 2004 and the Bruins crew tried to manipulate the icing machine hours before Game 7 this year. Cheating is in their blood.

This is how it works... The flight lands, equipment containers are moved off the plane by local crews and transported by local crews to Foxboro... The equipment people wouldn't know until they were able to unpack the gear at the stadium, which they did.

Do you think ground crews just leave giant containers on planes that are chartered... This was incompetence or cheating, but neither by the Chiefs.

The report didn't say they couldn't unload. It said they couldn't set up. They could have still unloaded it and stored it somewhere until they could set the locker room up.

If franchises in a billion dollar business like the NFL do not have someone checking off a list as the containers are unloaded I would be highly surprised. Just because they are not taking possession of it yet does not mean they cannot account for it being unloaded from the plane or loaded onto the truck/van.

Also the possibility for theft. Maybe not anymore with cameras, etc. But you'd think we would account for them after unloading somehow and would have to be stored in a secure place.

Any doubt the equipment manager is a Reid guy?

In my brief stint as a Worlds or Fun company courier you wound up doing a lot of currier work for the Chief being we were close to the airport. Bobby Yarborough was always getting stuff in to try out from manufacturers. It would come to Lamar's underground storage and I would be tasked with getting it to Bobby. He was a hell of a dude and also doubled as trainer as he taped most the players ankles and such. He designed a lot of stuff including Willie Lanier's extra stip of cushion on his helmet. I asked him why he did that he said because he suffered a subdural hematoma in his first year with Chiefs.
Here is a short interview with Bobby with interesting Chiefs tidbits.

I just can’t believe that teams do not have someone in place to make sure equipment makes it through transition points. There is just too much money involved in this business to not have these fail safe systems in place.

[big nasty kcnut]

It's the airline fault they didn't load it usually the team inspect the gear on Saturday but the pat stadium was hosting a high school game so they couldn't do it untill today.

This cant happen or shouldn't. The chiefs have a list of what is where in the packing crates. It gets scanned in and checked off its aboard. When it arrived they should have had someone to check the scanned list of items deboarded. There has to be more to this story.

So do we know if they got their gear yet or not?
No they didn't. The equipment guys are making makeshift pads and helmets out of pots, styrofoam and spare plastics they find lying around.

This is why I’ve thought about becoming a Broncos fan. This team is flawed...

Imagine being that equipment guy. Can’t get it set up Saturday night so you roll out of bed extra early, particularly considering the 1 hour time loss. Get down to th equipment room and realize a major portion of Gear is missing. I think I’d crap my pants.

Good thing it was in NJ and not LA.

Thumbs down and neg rep.

Dee Ford probably played a role in this.

You're really trying to push this conspiracy angle huh?
I'm not pushing any conspiracy angle... Logic tells me that every team NFL team is at a major airport where the equipment lands on a charter plane. In 30 plus years of chartered flights at all of these airports, I doubt this has ever been an issue. The equipment is most likely checked by KC staff when it is sent to the airport for loading, but no it wouldn't be checked by the team when it arrived and they would most likely not be allowed to check it off when they were unloading the plane, or they would never ever see the need to do so base on 30 plus years of experience.

Those defending this and blaming the Chiefs are crazy... IT was either incompetence by local crews or flat out on purpose...

JMO, believe what you want...

They would get the info as soon as it scanned as deboarded someone on a computer should see that packing crates were missing.

Maybe, on a chartered plane, it is probably different... It would be pretty easy to manipulate that aspect as well. With 32 teams in 32 cities I doubt this has ever been an issue... Why?

Lol it's not intentional dude. Stuff happens. It's not that big of a game.

I agree it probably wasn't intentional, but it's not the Chiefs staff's fault is my point...

Deliberate mind game and distraction by the chiefs
