More Pioli contract extension talk...
 

Petro is now saying that he started hearing "rumblings" of the contract extension in TWO THOUSAND TEN.

He's basically saying now that the Chiefs aren't lying - that a contract wasn't offered in the last few days.

He's basically saying that ALL of the reports, even though they appear to conflict, are probably true.

Why am I thinking that people need to realize Petro, Fescoe, and Maas are entertainers and not journalists?

So basically nothing is new, and he's not sure what's happening at the moment?

He's never professed to know what's going on.

Only that he's heard from multiple, reliable sources that Pioli has gotten a contract extension...

yup, per petro...it was either signed over a year ago...or waiting to be signed at a later date

hence no current negotiations...liars aren't lying...

yep.

Petro is more journalist than not; he actually does his homework and doesn't try to throw shit against the wall.

Lacanfora is no longer a reliable source in my opinion when it comes to Pioli. I am pretty convinced Pioli "leaks" stuff to him that he wants out there.

Wonder if when Scott Pioli is fired in KC, security will escort him from the building, as so many of his underlings had to endure

It just seems "easy". Claim anonymous sources, talk up a scoop for a segment or two; or even an entire show. Then when nothing happens cover your ass.

Clark should sell tickets for the public firing of Fat Scott... thousands would show up to cheer for this fat loser to be exiled from Kansas City.

Wasn't trying to flame Petro. He's the one guy I listen to when I can when it comes to KC sports talk.

So, according to Petro, Pioli is already extended? Or has he had the offer for two years and just hasn't agreed to it yet?

as i understand it, petro's source/s insist pioli is already re-signed

petro was speculating on how they might be spinning it to deny the extension...by playing semantic games with 'current negotiations'

It wouldn't surprise me if Pioli got a contract extension after 2010. The fact that we made the playoffs probably gave Chunt a hard on.

So why would this information be leaked/shared/uncovered NOW?
