BTW, after interviewing Clark Hunt last weekend, I can now understand why the Chiefs are a mess. Nepotism isn’t necessarily a good thing.

@ArrowheadPride He just didn’t strike me as the sharpest guy around. Seems kind of overmatched.

Whatever. Dumbasses don't graduate from SMU as valedictorians.

Hunt isn't a silver-tongued fast-talking jive ass playa like so many of these owners...so naturally he's gonna come off different.

Jackass.

Are you sure?

I'd have to have more details than some dillweed saying Hunt didn't seem "smart".

sounds like a really good journalist

I bet there isn't a SINGLE valedictorian from a private school on this site.

NOT EVEN DANE.

Clark has nice hair though. he could be a Senator with that hair. Reminds me of Trent Lott.

Well if he retains Pioli and Crennel for next year I think we will have all the proof we need.

Now the media are declaring Clark to be a dumbass.

How low can we go?

Next thing you know, we're going to change our uniforms and wear bib overalls and beanie caps.

The beanie caps might not be a bad idea, though. The propeller thing might give our wide receivers an additional inch or two of vertical leap.

It would be nice to see the proof he is talking about in his twitter rant.

The house will be cleaned.

You people are just far too impatient.

This.

Pioli: What are you gonna do, fire me? [bounces basketball off back of Clark's head] Huh, tough guy? [bounce] Soccer boy! [bounce] Let's see you cry. [bounce] C'mon, squirt a few tears. [bounce] One, two, three -- cry [bounce] One, two, three -- cry [bounce]

Hard to argue with this.

We all should have our answer soon enough.

Over 40 years since the last Super Bowl appearance....I think we are too patient.

Clark is too nice. To everybody.

That can easily be interpreted as being dumb.

Especially if the interpreter is dumb.

And this guy Bart Hubbuch looks like a total dumbass.

This.

Probably the Archie comics on his desk that gave him away.

How many threads are we going to see about this topic today?

Hubbuch used to work at the Star. KU grad.

Deal with it.

New York Post.

Enough said. Hours after the murder/suicide Clark is supposed to open up to some reporter from the Post.

Agreed. I play tennis with a guy whos the Hunts family doctor. He told me 3 years ago. /Dane

These references crack me up.

Clark Hunt may be a lot of things, but dumb is not one of them. You don't graduate first in your class from a school like SMU if you're dim.

So he did an interview with Clark? Where's the article? And I have to question this guy becuase after he was allowed an interview with Clark he proceeded to throw him under the bus with his twits.

LMAO

LMAO

Nah if you are truly patient you will wait until you are dead to see the supa-bowl victory. It's truly one for the ages.

Dudes name is Bart, how many smart Barts are there? I apologize in advance if your name happens to be bart or Bartholomew.

Clark also has a measured, deliberate way of speaking, sometimes monotone. He isn't some charismatic alpha-dog. But having heard him interviewed I never once thought he seemed unintelligent. In fact I think he has a matter-of-fact directness that, because of his subtle demeanor, flies under the radar a lot of the time.

Facts:

1. Chiefs are a laughing stock
2. Crennel was hired after being a colossel failure in Cleveland
3. Pioli is still here


So far, the NY Post writer is spot on. On a side note, we all know that there is a huge difference between book smarts and applied intelligence.

General Streck, German High Command: I'm afraid you leave me no alternative but to introduce you to two of my associates.
[a bald henchman comes forward]

General Streck, German High Command: Bruno is almost blind, has to operate wholly by touch.
[Cut to a blank-faced second man]

General Streck, German High Command: Klaus is a moron who knows only what he reads in the New York Post.
[Klaus is shown holding a copy of New York Post with the headline 'Maniac stalks Olivia Newton-John']

I know that movie!

Clark is clearly an introvert.

A lot of times that can be mistaken for a lack of intelligence.

It's complete bullshit.

From the New York Post.....Journalism is a degree program that is generally difficult. Well maybe not.

So it can be mistaken for lack of intelligence but also is complete bullshit that this guy did that?

For the record I have never even heard of this guy before. IDK if he is new at the Post or something. Someone said he used to write for the Star.

You would be wrong.

Home school doesn't count as private school.

Exactly.

Da ****.

Oh my god.

ROFL

I wonder if people realize what SMU's academic standards are?

I was valedictorian, captain of my football, basketball and baseball teams and homecoming king.

Of course, I was home schooled.

SMU is a damn good school especially in business.

I live right by SMU. It's pretty much known as Highland Park community college. Basically it's for rich kids who couldn't get into a more prestigous school. With that being said, being valedictorian at any University is impressive

That was really rude of him.

Even if you think SMU is a bullshit school (which it ISN'T), he was a an analyst at GOLDMAN SACHS. They don't hire mouth breathers. This isn't the firm from "AMERICAN PSYCHO." Clark didn't sit around listening to his goddamn walkman and filling in crossword puzzles.

Funny thing is, I can picture BOTH Pioli as Dr. Evil [duh] AND Clark as Seth Green.

It's not Stanford or Ivy League, for sure.

It's not a "state school" either.

In my experience it's never wise to try and gauge someone's intelligence based on how they come across in a conversation. Intelligence and communication skills don't always go hand-in-hand.

There's a reason why they call SMU the Harvard of the South, and it's not because of their ultra liberal educational agenda.

I'm sure Clark went to school there because he's a legacy, and his daddy was a major booster.

Laughing at the guys who probably scrape shit for a living saying just because Clark was a valedictorian at SMU doesn't mean he's smart.

Just because you're not book smart doesn't mean YOUR version of smart is equal to book smart. It's not. Not even close.

There's a reason Harvard doesn't call itself the "SMU of the North."

I am sure he was ACCEPTED there because of those 2 things, yes.

But neither of those things factored into him graduating FIRST in his class.

Holy shit. Saying someone is "smart" just because they were an analyst at Goldman Sachs. That is some funny shit right there.

Agreed

Valedictorian is NOT an award you can buy, it's meritorious. I don't particularly care for Clark as an NFL Owner, but people trying to paint him as dumb, really need to check themselves.

Who knows...maybe he spent all his money on people to do his papers for him.

Agreed.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. After all, I'm sure they were willing to help him become Valedictorian instead of taking it FOR THEMSELVES. :rolleyes:

This.

I do have to admit...he was smart enough to be born to a rich daddy...that's smarter than me.

Now, you are just looking really small. Step away from the keyboard. It's for the best.

Better luck next time.

What do you do for a living, if I may ask?

Nobody has ever heard of an educated idiot? You can have all the book smarts in the world and not have an idea of how to do many things. I would have to know in what context that this person believes Clark isn't smart. It might be that she doesn't believe he has the business acumen to be doing what he is supposed to be doing. We're all guessing here. It needs to be put in context.

Sen. McCain claimed a few months ago that Amb. Rice wasn't smart and she's a Rhoads scholar.

That dumb **** didn't do his homework before spouting off at the mouth. You have to have some intellect to be a valedictorian at SMU. He's just not a Wall Street type con artist. Knowing how Lamar was, Clark is probably as down to Earth as one can be with that kind of money. **** this guy.

We all know people that could kill it in the classroom but when it came to the real world they can't run a hot dog stand.

ROFL

I have had a football conversation with Clark, he seemed pretty sharp to me.

It only cost me a $60 ticket to a Kick Off Luncheon anybody could have gone to.

There were lots of people standing around talking football with him and he didn't strike me as over his head at all.

:shrug:

Yeah, but you're a ****ing idiot.:evil:

The problem we have with Clark isn't how smart he is. It is his loyalty.

True.

I was waiting on that.

I may not be Dane level smart, rich, or good looking, but I do ok.

I like how we rally around our team's owner, when some are some of us are simultaneously talking shit. "He's a shit owner he should sell the team, but he's our shit owner. We can trash him, but some snot nosed, shit bag, Ghey U grad, who's suckling the balls of the Editors of the New Yorker, raises the issue of him being dense (which in itself is dense) and we rally to crush the dip shit! Clark is ours to condemn!

A ****ing NY Post writer with an easy journalism degree is calling a successful multi billionaire stupid? I've heard it all.

LOL, had they come here and just read, they'd have known that CHunt is a total dumbshit! This is what happens when really rich people breed and pass along really cool things like NFL football teams to their seed who've never accomplished a thing past sucking on the teat of his Swedish au pair.. So this guy may not be the best journalist int he world, but he's correct in this case.

Get that son of a bitch!

Not sure we can comment on his loyalty at this point. Now, Lamar? Absolutely loyal to a fault, as it relates to the Chiefs Organization. Clark has only had a couple of hires (Coaches and 1 GM), and a GM isn't something you fire without giving them a chance to put all their people and systems into place. Now, if he doesn't whack Pioli after this Season, I think it's completely fair to start judging him on that basis.

And he was born rich. I'm sure he was sheltered in a lot of areas.

It doesn't take away from your intelligence it just means you're not going to relate the same way Joe Boston or Tommy Chicago do...
