Does being a name-dropper make one "grown up?"

I'm not Bob Gretz...and working with someone does not make them a "name-dropper" Once you can man up and admit what you have done then we can play ball.

Wow, I think I gave you too much respect.

I think the most important question here is...

Which KC media member would be most likely to choose a Powerpuff Girl's villain as an avatar? :hmmm:

Embarrassing typos included.

Wow...let's see you've dropped Bob Moore, Patrick, Pete, Bob (Gretz), Brad, and the infamous "I have a tape of Nick Athan" episode. I'm waiting to hear of how you and Todd (Haley) have been breaking down tape over the last few weeks.

:thumb::thumb::thumb: Totally agree!!!!

If I had to guess, it would probably be KK. I always thought he sounded like a rump ranger.

Still I have done it and you NEVER will.

Well, he did get busted receiving a BJ from a female intern once.

This was the point of the OP. Thank you for bringing us back. I still think we need to question those in charge.

Is that near Elinoy?

That would be Billy "Scoops" Butterbrittle. The famed Kansas City reporter who broke the Urinal Scandal back in the '60s.

We have Scoops to thank for our peeking laws and, today, all men can whiz in the comfortable and secure knowledge that anyone who can later describe their junk in detail are looking right down the barrel at 6 months and a $400 fine.

I've broken down tape in the ESPN, ABC and CBS trucks. Have you? Come on you are a joke. Just admit you are a fan and have never done anything in football.

Loading those VTRs used to be a heck of a lot of responsibility, that's for sure.

Sometimes, they weren't even rewound all the way.

FAX

Well, let's just throw the blanket out there then.

Len Dawson and Mitch Holthus are exempt from the following statement:

There are varying degrees of shit, but shit is still shit. And quite frankly, I can't name ONE journalist or radio "personality" in the KC market that merits a prize of ANY sort.

Your articles are guaranteed to contain pablum and/or disinformation, and/or personal opinion that has more to do with agenda than facts, in large, small, or medium quantities, and you ask some of the stupidest ****ing questions in press conferences with the Chiefs that I've ever heard.

If I were Pioli or Haley, I wouldn't exactly be getting "morning wood" over the prospect of spending five minutes with you, much less a half hour or more.

You've never worked for Univision? You gringo.

I've never been in the ESPN trailer, but one time I took a leak behind it before a Monday night game because there were no porta-potties close by.

Yes, but have you had sex in an ESPN, ABC or CBS truck?

LMAO

It's "fuutball", Gringo; "fuutball".

What the hell does any of this bullshit have to do with your perceived need for the Chiefs to be telling their stories to a bunch of assclowns who think a press pass makes them special?

FYP

I have never asked a question at a Chiefs press conference. I'm not with any publication or electronic media...I just want to know why we can't question Scott, Todd, Clark etc...?

Because unlike the elite in the KC media, apparently we don't appreciate USFL success and failed 20 year plans.

Because when it was Carl it was worth talking about. Jason, Jack, KK and everyone on this board wanted answers. What has changed except Scott has his dick in you mouth?

Excellent.

Ah, the good old days.http://chiefsplanet.com/BB/images/smilies/thumb.gif

It's not that you can't. Anyone can question anything.

But if you're butthurt that you can't literally question them, as in... in person... that's your problem.

Their job is to rebuild an NFL franchise, PR is way, way down on the list of priorities. (As it should be.)

It's no coincidence, that while the regular guy on the street is fine with it... the media's having a shit fit.

"Elite KC media?" Anyone will tell you this is one of the kindest media markets in America. In fact...some media types will tell you that is why Carl kept his job so long.

I think I know what's changed. We have a new GM who isn't taking questions.

I think that's it.

FAX

What are you talking about?!?!? We question them ALL THE ****ING TIME on this board!

Or do you mean "why can't Whitlock pull a Brian Waters and just march on in the offices unannounced and start grilling whomever the hell he pleases"?

It's that simple.

It happens in every market. Do we want to be in the big leagues or do we want to cave to the new guy?

Your stroking yourself over USFL victories and you talk shit to me? Go back to drinking from Peterson's "bottle".

Same story as 20 years ago. Maybe somebody should have asked questions then.

Can we let Pioli and Haley do a draft, build a team, and play ONE ****ING SEASON FIRST????

Can we do THAT before we release the hounds and start breaking down every move these guys make?

What would you have asked, lo those many years ago?

FAX

I think you vastly over estimate the media's importance in producing a winning football team.

No shit!

Judging from his posts here, he would probably have asked Peterson if he could spit instead of swallowing.

No I'm not. I am just asking all the experts on this board to bring out their bling.

I hope Scott wins the next 10 "Super Bowls TM" , but too many people here think it just happens.

So what would you have asked?

And since it doesn't "just happen", how does the media help make it happen?

FAX

I kinda like this guy. He's wacky.

For years we have heard that Lamar and Carl wouldn't answer questions because they are scared. Now Clark and Scott won't answer questions and we are building a championship team. Give me a honest answer...what has changed?

Give a list of 5-10 questions that you think the team should be forced to answer.

The entire front office. GM, HC, QB....

Nobody thinks we're guaranteed a Super Bowl. Just that it's more likely now, than before.

Okay, the irony isn't lost on me.

You have said that the media should have asked questions of Carl 20 years ago. You have said that the media should have the opportunity to ask questions of Pioli. You have said you are or were a member of the media. I have asked you a question. You are not answering the question.

Where's Waldo?

FAX

And then he said he was NOT a member of the media.

"Lithium at table two, please"...:rolleyes:

ROFL

It can't be this. There must be something more nefarious at work...

First of all nobody should be "forced" to answer a question, but it should still be asked. You weren't clear do you want 5 or 10 questions?

1. Who is the DC?
2. As of today who is the starting QB? (Last week it was an open job.)
3. 3-4 or 4-3? Follow up why?
4. Who will be calling the play?
5. And for Clark...Who is the Chiefs President?

DCS...

Come on I'm not a member of the media. If you have the balls to prove why you belong on this board then I would love to meet with you. Until then you are just another pretender.

Okay. That's great. Now, let's pretend that the answers are as follows;

1. We haven't determined that.
2. We haven't determined that.
3. We haven't determined that.
4. We haven't determined that.
5. We haven't determined that.

How does that help us A) Avoid another Carl and B) Win a Super Bowl?

FAX

I think I could ask the same of you. But I won't, because it's an utterly meaningless question that has no bearing on the subject at hand.

I'd say the answers to 1-2 are sufficiently clear.

Or sufficiently speculative. :p

Sorry, dude. The dream died.

It's Cassel.

Mum 'til draft day to keep folks guessing to increase the potential for a trade down.

And as soon as we stab enough cousins, the DC thing will be settled.

I don't disagree, but most on this board don't want to ask these questions.
FYI..."B" is more important.

EDIT: Didn't see the prior post before posting post.

I don't understand. Those are the topics that are discussed on this board all the time.

FAX

"Show me the contract"!!!

I would agree, but why won't the Chiefs say it? Once again another Carl trick that is too cool because it is Scott and Todd are doing it now.

Are there requirements for belonging to this board? I must have missed the memo.

That is the perfect answer.

If you can hit the mark on both the urinal AND the toilet of a Johnny On The Spot; you're IN!

I have the balls to belong on this board.

Sometimes they're held for charity, and some for fancy dress.

But when they're held for pleasure, they're the balls that I like best....

Sorry, carry on.

Because right now, if you say this is our guy, everyone knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you aren't taking a QB at #3. That's why.

It's all about posturing for the draft.

Ok, now, which one of these is somehow an obstacle to future Super Bowl victories if the great and powerful Mojo Jojo doesn't have the answer?

Here, let me answer:

None of them. Oh, and for the record, there have been press conferences where questions were asked and answered:

http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/features/

I hope that helps ease your troubled mind.

What do you have to lose?


If you say you want the QB and someone wants him more you win in a trade.

If you rally don't want him, but he is the best person on the board...you win. Someone will over trade or you have a QBOTF. See the New York Giants.


FYI when Carl did this the board went nuts.

No, Carl ran his mouth. See the 2007 draft.

"I guarantee Brady Quinn won't get past the Chiefs. hahahahaha."

That worked out well, huh?

So to answer your question, "what's there to lose?": a ****ing shit ton.

Yep. Right now you gotta' keep it quiet, and rely on DCS's infallible killer instincts and mojo crystal ball to light your way in these murky times...:D

Also, just to follow up with some pertinent information:

Regarding question 1:
Regarding question 2:
Regarding question 3:
Regarding question 4:
So, 4 of your 5 questions have already been answered in one form or another. The fifth one isn't one that I have even the slightest interest in checking on.

This.

Scott Pioli is not an elected official. He's not responsible to answer your questions. He is responsible for fielding a winning product, and is accountable to Clark Hunt. Clark Hunt is responsible to the fan base or he won't sell tickets and will lose money. If Clark Hunt thinks that the secrecy inside Arrowhead is harming the fan base and affecting his product, then I'm sure Pioli will squeal like a junior high girl and have Mojo Jojo's heroes (Whitlock and crew) over for tea and scones....and spill all the dirty secrets.

I for one don't need to know if we're running a 3-4 defense, because I'm not sure I want other teams in the draft knowing how that might affect personnel acquisitions.

I don't need to know who's "calling the play" (Mojo's words) because I know Herm isn't.

I don't need to know who's the President of the team because it's irrelevant to 99.9% of people (Brian Waters and Mojo excluded) whether Dunny Thum or Donald Trump is overseeing the business operation of the team.

I need to know that Pioli's busier putting a football team together than wanting a report on the desk in Mojo's desk giving him all the information he wants.

They have been answered without an answer. Thank you for doing my homework. The 5th question is about the Chiefs President. Clark want to make the GM and President two jobs. In any business world a GM will report to the President, so that is a very important question to any Chiefs fan.

If you say QB then people try to jump in front of you, not trade with you. If the Chiefs said they are going to the 3-4, someone may try to jump us for the nose guard, etc.

They weren't answered without an answer. They were answered. Just because you don't like the answers, you want to bring in the inquisition. As for the question of the President, it's not important at all. It's just a title. What matters is the powers, and those are none of your business.

You got stuffed into a lot of lockers in your youth for whining about stupid shit like this, perhaps?

Have you never been in business? You don't have a clue how the real life works. If you just to be a fan then say so...if not let the adults do the work and you can play in your room.

Would you let Carl get away with those answers? It is a yes or no question.

I didn't go through the entire thread to see if someone posted it already, but this piece of "reporting" deseves the Billy Madison clip. Top to bottom, among the dumbest things ever written.

I'm not familiar with the "real life." I just to be a fan? You comfort yourself with a Jason Whitlock blow-up doll coated in barbeque sauce and wet wipes. You send autograph requests to Denny Thum and send private e-mails to Adam Teicher. You take video tapes of Nick Athan and dream of the day where you can use it as blackmail against someone. You wack off in a musty basement to thoughts of telling your grandchildren about all that "tape" you broke down in the ESPN truck.

Have fun in your "real life." And if being in business involves pagers, Camaro's, and 55-year old trailer park retreads...well then no I've never been in business.

He's absolutely right and you're absolutely bitter.

What you are implying is spectacularly absurd.

FAX

But unless you have a USFL championship ring and have videotape of Nick Athan sleeping at a Chiefs press conference YOU haven't lived. LOL.

I think he's drunk.
