...and the tweet was a joke.

it would be real news if Clark was doing an interview....but alas

the owner remains a non-participant in this cluster ****

So watched it?

It airs tomorrow night.

"So Scott, who do you think the next Chiefs GM should take at quarterback: Barkley or Smith?"

Then, ensure the opposite is done.

I'm not buying it'll be a puff piece, but it won't be a public pillorying either. Lenny isn't a happy camper and it shows on some of the pieces shown on KMBC. I would imagine there is some furious editing going on just to make sure things appear to be fair. But bottom line, Pioli is a dead man walking.

To add to that...

Tomorrow's segment is just suppose to be part of the interview with the full interview airing before MNF.

So we will speculate all day tomorrow to sit down finally and to only be teased by some 30 second cut of the interview. :mad:

Next gig? I find it very difficult to believe there will be a next gig for Pioli after the total destruction of the Chiefs. How can anyone possibly spin the historically bad results of the last four years?

That goes for Romeo, too. This has got to be his farewell tour.

Eric Mangini got re-hired.

So did Josh McDaniels.

Any chance Clark let Lenny fire Pioli for him? On tv? To air at halftime of MNF when we're down by 30?

I dont see how some of you think dawson is about to ream into egoli in this interview that happened today. you know egoli was given a set of the questions before. this is total propaganda bullshit by chunt trying to get the casual dumbass chiefs fan to think egoli is doing a good job and hes suchhh a great guy. I have zero hope that lenny is gonna be like "so scott, none of your draft choices are playmakers, your chosen 3 qbs are worst then most top college qbs, and no good coach in the nfl or college rankings want to coach under you because you are an arrogant pos who tries to do everyones job. How do you respond?"

I'll be impressed if Lenny isn't drunk, let alone ask any "hard" questions

Saw a quick clip of the interview. Pioli's entire body language just looks stressful, angry, confused, full of excuses, and just like a pure douchebag... I gathered that from a 8 second clip.

Here's my guess about Lenny "grilling" his boss:

1) What do you have to say to the fans? We're trying. Hang in there.
2) Are you getting much sleep at night? Not as much as I'd like
3) Have you pinpointed the problem? There are many problems Lenny. I take responsibility and we're going to keep on trying as best we can.
4) How do you think the coaching is doing? We all need to get better Lenny.
5) Are you optimistic about the second half of the season? Yes.

* * * * *

The way the interview *should* go:

1) Do you feel like you owe an apology to the KC fans for the product you have put out on the field this year? Yes,
2) If the product is so bad, why are you not trying to do something about it? I have to work with the coaches on this. It is there call. I try not to interfere in game day.
3) If you could get a better player for this team, you would. You have said that you believe in bringing in competition. Why does the same not hold true for coaches? If a player is not performing, you bench them. If a better player is out there and available, you go and get them. Are you saying that there are no better coaches out there that you could bring in to help this team? Is the best you are capable of finding? Well, Lenny, you can't change coaches like you change socks, or even players. You have to give them a chance over multiple games and multiple seasons usually.
4) You keep defending the team's QBs because you must. The fans understand that you cannot bad mouth one of your players; but, can you look the fans in the eye on camera and at least admit that you wrongly judged the QB situation here? This was your job -- to get the best players for the coaches. I can say it's not worked out the way I would have liked, but one can never be sure about such things. The talent and preparation is there, just not the results we want.
5) Do you feel you deserve a fifth year as the GM? I do.

link?

if this is part of MNF then you know it is softball...

you think pioli is going to let himself get worked over on mnf?

exactly...have we ever seen/heard pioli get grilled at all? hes extremely careful about his interviews. this whole thing is a ****ing joke. lenny just wants another reason to get on tv

Len's gonna pin him against a wall. :evil:

This is a total bullshit interview. Pioli is wearing sweatpants and saying **** you to Kansas City. Gonna post clip.

Pioli will go to the same place all Patriot Way rejects go.

Back to the shithole of a womb in New England they spawned from

No longer many Patriot fans on the board, it seems.

I bet this interview was planned months in advance as a MNF preview...and Scott knew he would have to do it all along....and now everyone is on his ass and he shows up in sweatpants as a big FU to the media and the city and the fans.

SWEATPANTS

You can't tell me this guy isn't getting fired.

Damn, its gone

PIOLI GOT TO ME

Nice glasses, bitch. Impressive lack of machismo.

Here it is.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tlyLcCjvfhs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It'll be fluff. Guaranteed.

Next banner idea... "TOGETHER IS POWERFUL... BLACKOUT ARROWHEAD"

Lol at scott wearing his hipster glasses.

WTF is the deal with that idiotic sweatpants getup? Is that some ridiculous ploy to try and get the blue-collar fans to relate to this asshole? I remember him during his bullshit media blitz talking about t-shirts and flip flops or some other inane crap. Pioli does look animated and pissed in that video, gives me hope that Lenny got on his case.

It'd be hilarious if Clark Hunt left random clues around the offices that he was bugging Pioli's phones and spying on him. Just enough to freak Pioli out.

Pioli is the most transparently pathetic piece of shit to grace the KC sports scene in a long, long time.

**** off, Scott. No one believes your bullshit. You are the worst GM in the professional football, and a cliche-ridden t-shirt and hideous glasses only accentuate this fact.

I wear glasses just like that :(

Pioli looks like an overweight, 4 decade too old hipster with those on.

Are you an academic or a fraudulent piece of ****ing shit GM? If you're the latter, please kill yourself. If you're the former, the glasses are context appropriate.

LOOK AT THIS BODY LANGAUGE DUDE.

http://i.imgur.com/0xNqz.gif

He looks like somebody who has no confidence at all, and it attempting to save his ass. The looking away while talking thing is killer. He's trying to get people to feel bad for him. And won't take the blame.

I AM an academic, actually.

I don't even like these glasses, but I have to wear ultra-thick frames because my lenses are goddamn coke bottles. If I wear more stylish frameless glasses, it would just look weird.

Right, which is why I posed that question. Fist bump.

I hear Len Dawson just printed out the Pioli Doc and ran through it with Scott. Easy interview.

This interview is going to be a fluff piece. No way Lenny is going to grill him. SOC will have to TURN UP THE HEAT.

For the love of god, Montresor, someone record this in HD.

are we terrible? of course we're terrible! It'sa process -- get a clue!

I bet KMBC had a contract written that they would get this interview.

And so Pioli HAS to do this.

And he doesn't like it one bit.

EFF YOU GUYS!!!

I'm on the Pioli hipster bandwagon. I can GM this team. Better pick up your candy wrappers from now on!

--TinyPioli

TinyE, you should be our Pioli model for a fake deep throat interview after he's fired.

"Patriot Way Insider reveals all"

*cut to dimly lit studio*

*all we see is a bald man with glasses. features can't be made out*

*He speaks*

"Well, you know, it's a process."

HEY SCOTT **** YOU

Once Fat Scott gets fired and slumps into a severe depression it will be time for him to regain the 150 lbs he lost and have another lap-band surgery

PIOLI'S teams are actually 0-24 against teams that score more than 24 points.

Cassel only has 19 of those losses.

POST MORE.

Herm's Chiefs were 3-15 against teams that scored more than 24 points.

Gunther's Chiefs were 3-7.

LMAO

The guy just looks like an asshole.

LMAO

Romeo: we will keep working hard

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_46r1n1AcXi...rbreakfast.jpg

But we wouldn't get to read about it from Babb...

Maybe Pioli will confide in Randy Stoviz.

Pioli is going to get his balls washed.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i2FoqqLv18...all-washer.gif

Yes, it is.

"Hey guys, its just good ol me! lets jump in my 96 dodge ram, go get some Boulevards, head for the lake and talk about pussy!"

Did Lenny interview Carl on his way out...?

Man, that is when you do go rogue is when you are an old man and can afford to 'flip the bird' to anyone and get away with it. Lenny doesn't need the Chiefs. It's the other way around and Lenny probably told Clark, "No puff piece or I don't do it."

I don't live in KC and don't know the history of the networks or Dawson, but past behavior is what you observe and has Dawson pussed out b4 ?

lenny didn't tell clark anything but 'yes, master'...the chiefs don't need him for anything...he's a hood ornament

He did last year when he injected himself in the candy wrapper business. At that time, the propaganda was about Haley though. I don't think he backs away this time

So this piece is supposed to air in it's entirety this week before MNF? I could see it happening next week as KMBC usually does the Chiefs MNF, but they don't do anything with ESPN otherwise.
As far as Lenny backing down because he's an employee, that's not going to happen. He's not going to throw players or Clark under the bus, but he just might go after Pioli. If you've watched his pieces lately, he's got his point across without naming names. He's not a happy camper. There are 2 icons in KC and Lenny is one of them. He loves the Chiefs and this city. He'll get his digs in.

My guesses at the questions:

1. What's gone wrong?
2. How do you fix it?
3. Clark's reaction?
4. Your view on RAC?

No follow-ups. Free reign for Pioli to recite talking points.

As part of the broadcast team, isn't he a Chiefs employee? So he isn't really allowed to criticize Pioli.

Sweatpants? Wow.

ROFL

ROFL Lenny gets free scotch all day Sunday, and you think he's going to do anything to screw that up?

Yup. It'll be very close to this. There will also be the "Are you concerned about being fired?" type question...

Christ...air this interview already!

I'm still holding out hope for a prostate cancer jab from Lenny

Expect nothing ground breaking.

I'm hoping Lenny is wearing a blackout arrowhead hoodie during the interview...

Pioli never says shit in interviews. If he was interviewed by a panel including Ghandi, Jesus, his mother, and George Washington, he still wouldn't say shit.

Why would any of you guys expect anything from any interview Pioli does?

Dawson is a Chiefs employee. Karen Kornacki is the biggest fluff piece, softball lobber in the local media, and they both work for KMBC. He will ask some very vague "what happened, how will you fix it?" type questions, but will not pressure him or make him look bad. This is the begining of PR spin to try to calm down the fan base, say "things aren't as bad as they look," we were in the playoffs two years ago yap yap yap. They're just trying to generate some misplaced optimism to blunt the critics, and "get their side of the story out."

It'll be all PR spin meistered bullshit. I'll be very surprised if its a legit Q&A.

Pioli was pressed a little by Jack Harry and admitted that he still thought they could win with Cassel.

Just look at this preview I think it looks like he's defending some things he did.
