So WTF is going on???
Please forgive me...I haven't been around much lately. I've logged on a couple of times just to see the headlines and what you all were talking about...mostly to see what FA's we might have signed....and I see nothing. I've looked at the threads and get the point that we have yet to sign anyone.....so what the **** is really going on at Arrowhead? Is Carl ****ing it all up again or is there still reasonable hope? Fill me in people...... I'm starving here........do we need to storm the battlements?....do we have to take Arrowhead at gunpoint?..... do we need to lay on the roadways running out of Arrowhead and not let anyone out until we are satisfied with the signings?.........................
DO WE NEED A COUP????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................. Let's take back our team! |

re
At this point it's hard to say. We haven't really missed on anybody except Trotter and he was a long-shot to begin with. But we haven't signed anybody yet either. Still waiting on Rolle, Hartwell, and Bell. My money is on Carl ****ing it up again, but who knows.

Carl's just dicking around until someone else signs the high dollar FA's then he will try to sign somebody on the cheap. He doesn't want a Super Bowl, he wants full seats at the cheapest possible cost.

the positive minded person would say:
we've looked at 5 or 6 players ... we wanted Trotter but he was just using us for leverage and then went back to philly. the other 2 guys that we are really interested in are still in the works. we are working on trying to get samari Rolle's contract down low enough so that we can also reach LB Ed Hartwell's demands.... because we really want to sign both. if we can work the deal a little more and free up some more money we will sign Samari Rolle and Ed Hartwell in a few days. the pessimistic minded person would say: all this bullchit is just another charade to keep up the illusions that we are really working on signing guys ... Just like the huge FA parade in 1997. But in reality we are really just too cheap and after all these high profile guys clear out we will settle for for a couple punk free agents and the front office will just say "we tried, but we can't force guys to sign here"

Jason Whitlock, a local sports talk and sportswriting celebrity, organized a protest called the No Salary Limit Soldier March to put pressure on Carl Peterson to sign big name free agents. Carl Peterson was so frightened by the prospects of a citizen march on his high-rise condo on the Plaza that he scheduled several top FA's for visits on the first day of free agency just in case he had to sign a fat contract or two to pacify the mob. At the same time, Peterson used his leverage with the corporate bigwigs at Entercom Corp. to have Whitlock undermined to the point that Whitlock resigned from 610AM the day before his big rally. The rally subsequently failed to generate any publicity whatsoever and Carl Peterson felt comfortable telling all the high profile free agents to get the f*** out of town. They left and now Carl is laughing at all the little people while he lights a cigar with cash from someone's season ticket purchase.
Rumor has it that he forced you out at your radio station and made it look like a resignation too.

Well, personally I'm not ready to give up till the first week is over, but I'd REALLY like to see us have a kickass FA by Monday...the waiting is killing me, but I still think they are doing some positive things...this is a business that none of us know anything about, as far as I'm concerned. Sadly, the history is not much to go off of to make me feel better either, so...
