A lot of people do.

It's not a public message board; it's the Chiefs homepage.

It's the equivalent of walking into Walmart and instead of being greeted with, "Welcome to Walmart!" the person says, "Well, good evening, you roundish and churlish piece of dog shit."

Are we missing the obvious?

Think up the food chain, not down ... Rufus = Clark?

Get torches.

Dawes is an in-house prank, a chance for the GM of the day/era to spout off a little bit.
It's the only explanation that makes any sense whatsoever.

This is the historical Rufus Dawes:

How disappointing. This is the first thing I've been really irritated with Pioli about.

i like this article, it is correct... and I think it is important to have an ombudsman.

I am confused why it bothers some so many...

well, i dont take it as the greeter telling me that. So then what? to me its a total non issue. It doesnt bother me. So for me that Walmart greeter is still saying welcome to Walmart. For me there is NO problem.

Exactly.

Well, I for one thought the new regime was above this type of petty childishness. I could understand it from Carl.

There ya go, its all on how you take it. For me, its a non issue. What i care about is how is this football team going to turn it around. Thats all i care about.

You don't care that the Chiefs are play in Arrowhead with a picture of Texas on their helmets against the Dallas Cowboys either?

I dont like it, but i wont cry about it.

Part of the reason Carl was never successful here is because he spent too much time worrying about what people thought of him and not enough time worrying about the product on the field.

Stuff like this absolutely has an effect on the on-field product, because it provides insight into what motivates these people.

Eh, as long as its not Pioli or Haley writing it, then i am ok.

I actually enjoy them bashing Whitlock a little bit. Its just all writer fun. I just dont see it as a big deal at all.

It might as well be Pioli or Haley writing it. It's the official website of the Kansas City Chiefs.
