The KC media are afraid of the Chiefs PR Machine because the Chiefs are vindictive. If you criticize them, make them look bad, ask embarrassing questions, they limit your access. KK and WHB lightened up when they landed the "Official" post game show. Now Mitch the Mouthpiece comes on KKs show once a week and spews the company line. 610 hammers the Chiefs because they have nothing to lose. If they win better access, they'll lighten up. Dawson is an employee of the Chiefs. He's going to go easy on them. Channel 5 goes easy on them because CBS carries all the AFC games. Jack Harry hammers on them because he's old and doesn't give a **** anymore.
Remember when Pioli got hired? He said the head coach would do all the media stuff. Haley HATED doing media. He wasn't very good at it. Romeo is worse. Romeo comes off like Grandpa Simpson in press conferences. So now Pioli is having to show up in the middle of a 1-7 nightmare season, and "do interviews" to spin the party line. It's a PR nightmare for the Chiefs spin doctors.
But you know what? The Chiefs will still make millions and millions of dollars this year. CHunt just watches his bank balance. As long as he has a beauty queen in his bed and nine zeros in his bank account, he's really not all that worried about how his team is doing.
Besides, he has the MLS to take his mind off it. Football is for gearheads, beer guzzlers, rednecks and hillbillies. Soccer is an international sport for cultured people. And it's all about entertainment. Entertainment can be comedy or tragedy. As long as it's extreme, it's entertaining. Why do you think soap operas have been on TV for 50 years?
