The KC Chiefs just blocked me on Twitter. LOL Last night, I tweeted that for the 4th year in a row, the Chiefs are at the bottom of salary cap spending and that the owner, Clark Hunt, is hoarding cap dollars. The Chiefs commitment to mediocrity has made me not care much about being a fan... They responded with this DM. http://imgur.com/7VbfJ
I responded that it is good to know that the KC Chiefs have an immature teenager running their social media.
I, as a fan for my whole life of nearly 40 years, who have never seen the Chiefs in a Superbowl, nor have I seen a playoff win in nearly 20 years, nor have I seen a QB drafted in the last 27 years... I have a right to be pissed. The Kansas City Chiefs have no right to be pissy toward the fans. We are the ones paying your salaries. Shame on you, Chiefs. Oh, and congrats on 50 years of being in KC. 10 years of greatness, followed by 40 years of pathetic profiteering. [Reply]
I hope this is nominated for Hall of Classics....because even though it may never see a really really large post count (though it may who knows) like some of the other Hall of Classic threads, this one has certainly been the funnest thread I've been in since the Midnight Vulture thread. [Reply]

The whole "he'd never say that to their face" argument is bullshit.
He has EVERY RIGHT to post his opinion via any customer contact mechanism they have, including Twitter. He's a CUSTOMER. [Reply]
Couple this behavior along with keeping Cassel as our QB to go with Pioli being nothing more than Carl Peterson Part Deux (only hiring coaches and players that come from that vaunted Patriots Tree, just as Carl did with all of his coaches), and you have the reason why I absolutely, positively will not pay for a ticket to watch the Chiefs while Clark holds on to Pioli and his regime. It's sad, too, because I love going to the games (and my boy dtebbe took care of my ticket needs for a number of years).
I refuse to endorse a program that does not have winning as a priority with my hard earned cash. I'll believe Pioli is interested in winning when he flushes all the coaches and players he played with in New England, and I'll believe Clark is interested in winning when he flushes Pioli when he finally concludes that it was Brady and Belichick are the reasons New England is successful, which will likely be never.

The only teams that even compare on the long term failure scale are the Jets, Browns and Lions. Everyone else, including expansion teams, have gone farther than KC.
Hard to believe, really. But its true. Of course, being in the same division as John Elway in the 1990s was a very bad break.
I think the most depressing statistic is that since 1993 when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Houston Oilers in the Division Round: Houston has lost an NFL team, regained one, built one up, and had a playoff victory before the Chiefs have. [Reply]

It's amazing how they monitor the blogosphere to the point they tell sites they can't write certain articles yet they don't give a fuck that guys like Jacque Reeves are on the roster. [Reply]
To add to the pile - someone created a fake Chiefs PR Twitter account and is tweeting some comedy gold. Some examples:

@teedubya why don't you come on down to the loudest stadium in the NFL and share a couple $9 brewskies with me? #ifyousaynoimfired
Chiefs PR @FakeChiefs_PR
@teedubya what if I throw in a sweet personalized "Get a Clue" Chiefs jersey to really smooth things over (just bring me $300) #pocketchange
Chiefs PR @FakeChiefs_PR
Why is everybody so upset? Was your $27 parking experience that bad? We want your feedback #chiefs fans!

He's (I'll assume it's a he) been talking with Goatse a bit, so my money is on him being behind the account. If not, which one of you funny fucks is it? [Reply]

Ouch, that is a depressing way to think of it. [Reply]

Ill sit here and bash the Chiefs all I want, but I am not going to go out of my way to hunt some low end staffer on the Chiefs official payroll that is probably some 24 year old out of college yuppie making just enough to pay his rent and make that guys job harder because the guys at the top of his food chain suck.
If Scott Pioli ran the twitter, I'd understand. But at the end of the day, he doesn't. And taking it out on some rando is no different than walking in a 5 star restaurant, hating the food, so you go in the bathroom and shit on the floor instead of the toilet to make the janitor's job worse.
what did what he looks like have to do with it? Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
