Well, bitch...I've been a lurker here for awhile. And I ain't no damn bald-ass fat teacher in the Dakotas, so suck this.

Why u no good FAKE P.O.S. How can you try to equivocate my love for you before your fling with the Scheft-dog at Aspen Gay Ski week? I'm sick of it, and I'm not taking your abuse anymore. Not for another minute, bitch!

You left me, after you used and abused me like the used tranvestite-prostitute that you originally....solicited on MySpace. How could I be so naive?!! I thought you and I found a connection, that we were soul-mates. A DAMNED REAL CONNECTION...I should have known better. Once you discovered, I was really a "he"...that made you even more excited. Admit it, bitch.

You and Scheft-dog can have at it. Even as a tranny, I know my clit could satisfy you more than you will ever get from that NFL-reporter-wannabe than....anything, ANYTHING, he can give you. So GFY, Mr. Taco Juan.

I'm on to bigger and better people than you. :harumph:

I remember the ending of that pathetic "favorite" movie you made me suffer through so many times, do you?

Per ESPN:

The Chiefs have discussed Shanahan as a replacement for Edwards, but a Chiefs official said Friday night that although he wouldn't rule it out, he does not believe Shanahan will be the team's next coach.

tk13 01-23-2009 11:42 PM

I'm not saying the guy will end up being the coach, but there is absolutely zero percent reason to believe any "official" working under Scott Pioli. Just a couple weeks ago they were threatening to fire anyone who leaked any information to the media. Even the coaches didn't know what was going on.

grandllama 01-23-2009 11:47 PM

I don't personally care if the new coach is Shanahan or not, anything, including the deposit I just left in the sewer system a few minutes ago is an upgrade over Herm.

However think about this.

It's been five - six hours since it was announced that Herm has been fired.

The Shanahan rumor has been around since at least Tuesday if not earlier.

The only FIRM denial of the rumor is from a junior (as in please change my diaper, I do believe I have soiled myself I am so upset at being scooped) reporter that has his panties in a bunch that his BFF may have fed him some intentional misinformation.

There has been plenty of time for both sides, especially if the Rat is trying to play this into another coaching job with Dallas or whoever, for an official denial to be issued.

You know - I think it is very possible that some junior official at the Chiefs ran his mouth after Herm was fired, got called on it by "The Don" and had to call Mort to backtrack. The Chiefs have to interview at least one other candidate, so they can't look like they just went straight to the Rat.

Where's BRC's source when you need him/her?

The timing of everything is weird. Mort comes out and basically says it's a done deal. He isn't going to do that without a strong source. And then to come out later and say a Chiefs official is telling him that Shanahan is targeted but it's unlikely? :shrug:

And of course the Rat isn't going to tell Adam the Gnome anything if it is supposed to be hushed up for now.

Color Red 01-24-2009 12:29 AM

Strange observations:

Maybe Pioli did exactly as he said he would do, talk to Edwards and Clark about it until he made a decision. Everyone else has been sure he was making a deal with someone or negotiating. Maybe not, and that would explain what they're saying about Shanahan now --there has been nothing. That would also explain matters with Haley --he's not going to be negotiating with anyone while in the middle of preparing his team for the SB.

Now Pioli has made his decision, and now he has an opening for HC. If Haley really is a candidate you're still not going to see Pioli talking to him until after the SB --the longer we wait now, the likelihood that Haley is it increases. But if someone spots Shanahan in talks with KC now that Herm is gone, look out! I don't care what Schefter says, these guys do play it close to the vest, and no one necessarily knows what the other is doing. Media wants to scoop the story. These coaches and execs want to control it.

I still think Shanahan would take less money from the Chiefs to just run the sidelines in the right situation (read: Pioli-led operation) and cause some mayhem in the AFC West.

My only hard stance on this is that Schefter has been as reliable as it comes when it comes to information surrounding Shanahan. It would be news in and of itself if Schefter got this wrong, because it will mean that Schefter - a guy who ghost wrote Shanahan's book and has a long and well established history with him - has had the carpet pulled out from under his feet by the man who has long been his bread and butter.

At this point in time, I see no reason not to believe Schefter when he says "I know for a fact they've not had contact to this point. The Chiefs may in fact reach out to him in the coming days and even then I firmly believe it will not change anything."

He said nothing about Shanahan's agent.

At this point in time, I see no reason not to believe Schefter when he says "I know for a fact they've not had contact to this point. The Chiefs may in fact reach out to him in the coming days and even then I firmly believe it will not change anything."

I tend to agree. And if Schefter is saying Cowher is at the top of our list, I'm curious to see if Pioli can convince Chin to come west...

Well, everybody just conveniently ignored it the first time so I'll say it again:

Where was Cowher last weekend? He wasn't sitting at the desk. And though I may be wrong, I believe that was ALSO the case the weekend before.

I remember watching both Championship games and wondering where the **** he was.

I am having a really hard time believing that Pioli fired Herm without having a fairly firm option to replace him. He wasn't going to fire Herm and then hope there was a viable option out there. I think the reason it took so long to fire Herm was because Pioli was going to keep him if he didn't find a replacement. They still have to go through the motions of giving interviews for the Rooney Rule but I think they have their man already.

I don't know if that is Shanahan or Cowher or what but there is an awful lot of smoke around the Rat rumors.

Rooney Rule is what I was thinking every time I saw the ESPN crawl that the Rat was about to be the new HC.

How could they can Herm and be negotiating with the Rat when a minority was not interviewed?

Pioli is bringing his smoke and mirrors.

Where's BRC's source when you need him/her?

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!!!

It makes complete sense. Complete sense.

You don't **** with Don Pioli. You send one of his reports to ESPN, he sends your career to the morgue.

Way too many unrelated people have said this is happening. Sorry to everyone unhappy with it, but where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

The fire is in Shanahan's gut. It's burning. Bowlen lit that fire. Now he will pay for it. In more than one way. MWA HAHAHAHAHA! :evil:

I need to find the soundbite of him saying he would be happy for Mike anywhere he went but Kansas City.

The way Pioli does busness, and IF the Rat is in the running.....yeah he is giving no one SHIT, but if or when it dies break maybe he told him he could have it. Bottom line, no one knows, pretty funny watching the media get "flustrated"

Jack Harry 1 - Adam 0

Edit: Mort -4, man he has been so far off, it's laughable.

Adam Schefter has been a reporter and key source of breaking news for NFL Network since 2004. He is the author of three books and a former president of the Pro Football Writers of America.
An excerpt from 9News:
Quote:

They are not near a deal. They are not near a deal right now, they were not near a deal yesterday, they will not be near a deal tomorrow. Mike Shanahan will not be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs," Schefter told 9NEWS. "All the people in Denver can stop worrying or stop talking about it, it's not happening. I know there have been national reports to the other effect. I'm here to tell you just the opposite, it's not going to happen."

Schefter says he has spoken with Shanahan directly about it.

"I speak to Mike regularly, there has been nothing in his tone or in his message that has given me any indication that he will be the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. I know for a fact they've not had contact to this point. The Chiefs may in fact reach out to him in the coming days and even then I firmly believe it will not change anything," Schefter said.
I have to believe him. The notion that Schefter says, he has spoken with Shanahan directly about it, shoots down the rumor.

Schefter is a reporter. His credibility is at risk, along with the reputation of the NFL Network.

The NFL Network, have the right to surpress the information if they are truly interested in the risk to the brand and their name.

I would be shocked, if this story did not pan out. Then again, I have to remind myself, it is sports we're dealing with. Still, the quest for higher ratings depends on the consumers trusting the information.

Conspiracy theory - do you think the NFL wants a franchise bypassing the Rooney rule a few days after the first black President was elected? It would be terribly bad for their image.

ESPN reports it, NFL freaks out, Schefter is the cover up, Chiefs quickly interview a minority, then hire Shanahan (Schefter backtracked and said it was possible the Chiefs might talk to Shanahan in the future).
