Danny Parkins claiming Todd Haley cancelled team meetings Saturday night to go out.

[acarter25]

Talking about it now, claims and "unnamed" source within the organization accidentally called him last night and they got to talking. The "source" told him he could take it to the air as long as his name was not involved.

It's not like we're talking about Sabby partying at 3am or anything.

If true, it's problematic. The last thing the Head Coach of a 5-7 football team should be doing is cancelling team meetings for a night on the town. And I'm pretty liberal when it comes to coaches/players leading normal lives off-the-field.

The world is starting to frighten me. Apart from the Denny's strippers and other nimrods people dissect every thing a coach / politician does in such a level of stupidity its insane. Whats next? Haley took a shit at half time, scandal!!! Should have been talking to the team.

Do not be afraid, Mr. Dave Lane.

There remain some among us who are ever vigilant and alert to the ways of the moron and the imbecile.

you guys should've heard that moron Fescoe this morning saying the Chiefs should give up like three 1sts for Peyton because he's a 'known', versus drafting a QB who 'might not pan out".

Yeah...would have to try to get one of those pesky franchise QBs....we might fail. So, let's not even try.

So, the moral of the story is - Parkins is as dumb as Fescoe.

And what are you assuming "going out" means? I seriously doubt Haley was going clubbing. Maybe he "went out," got dinner, and turned in early?

My point is, it's all conjecture about something that MIGHT have happened. It just seems silly (and as mentioned earlier, very TMZ) to me.

He's not alone. I've heard a half-dozen sports personalities suggest this over the last several days. This team would be a legitimate Superbowl contender with Manning at the helm. They'd have a VERY short window (maybe 3 years), but with this team where it is...that might be all you need. Thing is, after 3 years was up...you'd be in the hunt for a franchise QB again.

It's the "calling off a team meeting" part that unsettles me.
I could honestly care less what he called it off to do instead.
Your team stinks. You shouldn't be cancelling meetings to do anything non-football related unless it's an emergency of some kind.

I'm NOT suggesting it happened. I have no clue whether it did or not.
I said as much. "Citing an unnamed source is easy to do."

This could be worse than Dummy realizes ...

In Western PA, "going out" means dressing up like a woman and strolling around downtown Olathe picking up guys.

Simmah, Mr. Micjones.

Honestly. They meet all the friggin' time. Maybe he decided to give them a break from a late day meeting. Maybe he had the runs. Maybe he had a family emergency. Maybe he and Pioli decided to talk on the QT about some personnel moves.

This place goes so overboard on speculation, it makes me want to be a winged radish sometimes.

Its really no big deal. If the team looked unprepared to play like they did against the Lions, Bills and Dolphins, i might be more concerned. But the team came out and played hard and won. Non story.

I'm not upset about it. I just think, if true (which is likely impossible to know), that his priorities are out of order.

If there hadn't been four games this season where his team looked completely unprepared on gameday...you'd have a point.

Those instances suggest there might be a culture problem as it relates to preparation. So I think it becomes a bigger issue than this one instance.

Haley says he was out for pizza w/ his wife & kids. No idea why someone would say otherwise. "I am surprised, but I guess I shouldn't be."

Haley says he didn't cancel a meeting and that he doesn't always talk to the team the night before a game.

The bigger problem is that this guy isn't a good head coach. He's a good WR coach, and might be a good OC.
