Why Bob McNair is the worst NFL owner in history (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=295324)

With the cap minimum that is in place now, I am not sure the argument that keeping cheap players earns the owner more bottom line is the case any more.

Hugh Culverhouse was definitely the worst NFL owner in its current incarnation.

Can you imagine the treatment Bud Adams would have received from the Houston media if the Oilers had accomplished so little? The Oilers wouldn't be praised as the ideal model. The Oilers would be mocked as a train wreck run by an owner concerned only with making money. There’d be no praise for passing on players with troubled backgrounds; instead, there’d be loud criticism for Adams being willing to stick with unproven players like Alfred Blue instead of taking a chance on a proven veteran like Ray Rice.
...

There’s money to be made, lots of money to be made, in being a mediocre product that plays it safe and refuses to take chances. Peyton Manning is expensive, so just stick with Matt Schaub. Ray Rice commands a decent price, so just use the excuse of his domestic abuse to save a few bucks and keep using Alfred Blue to back up the injury-prone Arian Foster. Sure, some fans might get upset that the team’s never competitive, but hey, as long as there are millions of suckers willing to pay up for J.J. Watt merchandise, why change?

What is this guy's deal with Ray Rice, that he is the prooftext for the Texans not wanting to win?

He has been out of football for a long time and was declining when he decided to knock his wife out anyway.

They picked Clowney ahead of Blake Bortles and essentially no one else. What were they supposed to do? Pick Manziel at #1?

Winning two playoff games in the past 5 years makes you 100% more relevant than the Kansas City Chiefs.

When did they "destroy the Astrodome?" I drove by it tonight on the way to donate blood. I must have passed out and they did it then ...

The Chiefs have been the luckiest mother****ers on earth for the last 30 years in that they've been the 'only' real ticket in town that could sniff a championship - or so we all thought.

with what the Royals did last year, and what they're continuing to do, the Chiefs are pissing into the wind. I'm serious when I say that if I had, say $3k, sitting around waiting to be spent on a sports team.....it would be the Royals. and probably can't even name 5 players on the team. but I know they're competing and I"ll learn their ****ing names. Yeah, bandwagon, I know. But at this point in my life after eating Chiefs sammiches for 25 years.....I don't give a shit. LIke you get some sort of courage badge / tattoo you can wear/show everyone. "hey....I was a fan when they sucked as for 35 years!!!!" . GFY.

Chiefs suck, and they're as hopeless as can be when discussions of Super Bowls start.

don't care if they are winning or not
baseball ain't a sport I care about
will just keep any money I would spend onthe chiefs for other entertainment, royals don't matter

but I am long distance fan

seriously,

The Hunt family commitment to the Chiefs died with Lamar. How can they care about this city and this fanbase when they don't even live here?! Clark should sell the team to someone who is more like Jerry Jones, but not going full Jerry, not going full Al Davis, but a resident and serious about winning.

I say we form a kickstarter to buy the Chiefs from the Hunts. Then elect a leadership team with ethics and a real desire to win.

Does explain why there were old school employees that cried foul and sued the team for age discrimination or whatever.

Also, the team committing tax evasion.

Pioli doesn't necessarily. I don't remember the exact timeline, but the team was caught for tax evasion as it pertained to the whole renovation agreements from 2005. And now that I think more clearly on it, it wasn't evasion it was misappropriation. Something about using taxpayer money earmarked for the renovations to pay employees.
