-Arrowhead Anxiety was not a conspiracy. It was an incredibly comprehensive, fair piece
-The comments about Scott Pioli being a dick... they're backed by Whitlock claiming he was completely disrespectful. -They're backed by the idea that
-The comments about Scott Pioli being obsessive about his reputation... talk to any person who's written about the Chiefs. Pioli literally reaches out to let you know he approves/disapproves
-Pioli is the guy driving the silence machine. Babb and Whitlock turned on him. And it's all an invention in Scott's mind. Donovan and Hunt both gave opinions in Arrowhead Anxiety. Guess who did NOT. Clark Hunt defended the fans. Guess who did not.
-Blaming the QB decision on Pioli isn't conspiracy. He's the boss. He has final say in personnel. Layer in reports from credible sources that Haley wanted Hasselbeck and Dick Haley didn't like Cassel. Layer in speculation that Weis didn't like Cassel either.
-The lack of depth is on Pioli. 100% on Pioli.
-Blaming the poor coach choices is on Pioli.
-Pretty clear and obvious implication that the poor coaching choices are a product of Pioli's stubborn insistence to build one scheme and one scheme only. He has hired 2 head coaches, 5 coordinators. Only one of them (Pendergast) didn't have connection to erhardt-perkins or 2-gap 3-4. And Pendergast was forced to run a defense outside of his expertise and was quickly forced out
-Did Pioli wiretap? I don't know. What I know is there are lots of stories about there of micromanagement. And this super-secretive organization somehow managed to "leak" several stories about Haley going to Lil Wayne concerts and eating pizza with his family. There's something fishy there
These are not conspiracies. How can you act like these stories don't tell a pretty glaringly obvious story that Pioli has run this team extraordinarily dysfunctionally.
