Plenty of stories of KC pretty impolitely denying access to the facilities, to information... hell, Pioli didn't even interview or respond to Arrowhead Anxiety.

And now it's possible that Peyton Manning may sign on the dotted line without ever visiting the team that has the best situation for him.
This has a lot more to do than just Romeo. If Peyton doesn't visit the Chiefs, it's pretty clear that he has no respect for our front office. Which is sad, because apparently he has respect for Bud Adams.

Yep. And what I haven't really figured out is that the Hunt family has always been kind and respectful to Peyton. He has been here many times for the 101 banquet heck he just spent the whole day here in KC not too long ago and Mitch Holthus was with him the whole time.

"I spent a day with Peyton Manning in Kansas City," Holthus told Kietzmann. "He's got his own empire with different sponsors but he came in and Sprint had me basically host him for a day. It was one of the best days I've had in my professional life.

"One, the guy is fabulous. He has a great personality. It's kind of what you see is what you get. But he likes Kansas City. He likes Kansas City a lot. I think one of the pluses about Kansas City is the fact that, if you think about a market that most assimilates Indianapolis and what he's been able to play in the last several years and the framework of how the organization is structured, and the market that he's in...he can handle being in a market like New York like his brother is but I get the sense from him that he doesn't want every breath analyzed.

"He appreciates the fans here. He's talked about it with me. He appreciates Kansas City and the passion for the franchise so it would be the closest thing to Indianapolis he can find. That would be a positive for him. I think he can also appreciate the sense that there's a young team being built around him with a defense that could be very, very good and with the right pieces put together on offense and they could be very, very good."
