Some more news has come out on the Shanahan deal (I suspect it too will come out eventually), but nothing that I'm basing my personal opinion of the situation off of. It's completely based on the last three weeks and yesterday's firestorm.

LOL. Your not helping me much here. I live in Denver. Can I start heckling these pillowbiters yet, or do I need to keep my trap shut?

WTF? It changes f@gs to pillowbiters? Is this now PC planet?

I wouldn't go overboard.

I can't believe you all are still trying to make this fly.

To make what fly?

Three weeks ago we leaked the news that Shanahan and the Chiefs had third-party contact and he was interested in the job.

Most of you ignored it. Apparently it had merit. Personally I never doubted it was true.

Anyway, this isn't about me. But I do feel like a million bucks. :D

You've never doubted one rumor Nick has fed you.

The after the fact bullshit you try to pass off as journalism.

If you really had any info, then you were stupid to not be screaming it from the rooftops.

I just find it comical that you come on here nearly everytime AFTER something breaks, claiming that you knew all along.

Clayton has sent me PM's on several occasions leaking news before it's put out on WPI's private page, and he did the same in this case.

He told me almost 3 weeks ago exactly what he just told you - that Shanahan and the Chiefs had been in contact via a 3rd party - and that Shanahan initiated that contact.

He also absolutely nailed the LJ situation weeks before the rest of the media got a hold of it, from his drinking problem, to the altercation he was in, to the fact that he was late for the flight to Charlotte.

I wouldn't call that after the fact.

If he has people on another site paying for this information when it happens, why would he tell the people of CP for free?

To you, it's always going to be after the fact, because you're getting the info AFTER the people who paid for it.

Regardless, I can tell you that he was dead on concerning the LJ situation, and the Pioli hire, and informed me well in advance. Time may or may not tell regarding Shanahan, because it may never be confirmed to another outlet that they spoke.

You trying to get him fired?

Nope.

If I was trying to get him fired, I'd be blabbing to you guys right after he PM's me.

The guy catches a lot of shit around here, some of it deserved.

But in this case, he's getting a raw deal.

You keep saying nice things like this, and GoChiefs is going to have your picture photoshopped to a storm trooper's body above his bed.

Why would he tell you?

Just curious

See my previous post.

Heh...I'm pretty sure that filter has been in there since before Phobia left for WPI.

I guess he trusts me to keep my mouth shut.

Otherwise, you'd have to ask him.

Regardless, I'm dropping it. I've said my piece, and it probably doesn't matter anyway.
