Just a rumor from inside the Chiefs organization

[mr. tegu]

I got this e-mail from someone I work with as we were discussing the Chiefs. As the thread title and the text indicates it is a rumor and hearsay. Oh well though because it continues to provide hope and evidence, even anecdotal as it is, that Pioli will be gone.

One of my friends told me last night that his brother, who works in the Chiefs marketing department, said Pioli hasn't been in the office the past two days which everyone found as weird. I guess there has been rumor that Hunt met with Pioli and told him that he would not be retained at the end of the season on Sunday after the game and several of the marketing department said they saw Pioli leaving a meeting with Hunt about 3 hours after the game in which it looked as if there had been a heated confrontation. All of this is hearsay but when you have employees start leaking stuff like this... you know it's inevitable that something is going on.

My hope is that the OP doesn't get lumped in with those stupid threads; as this one followed the correct protocol.

some mild ribbing is par for the course

It could be good news. It also could be that he took the entire week off due to the Thanksgiving holiday....

Haha. That is a good point. I guess if this guy in marketing gets fired then we know its true! But I hope that part doesn't happen.

I must have missed it, what is the "okay gang" everyone is referring to?

I have a friend within the Chiefs Planet organization that says that thread bashing is a rumor.

Sometimes things don't pan out, sometimes they're obvious bullshit, but this thread was started in a manner that is clear that it's a rumor from someone else and provides an assessment of what that person saw, which ties in with current topics.

This OP shouldn't be getting the dipshit treatment for this thread. I don't want to see others discouraged from breaking information to us because some dumbfornicators give them the business every time.

Keep it coming.

I agree.

It's a rumor Tegu was passing along. Not like he was reporting it. Take it for what it's worth.

I hope it's true.

I know for a fact that some QUALITY rumors (ones that ended up being true) got posted on other message boards first (or only) because of the treatment of rumors here.

That's sad, since that is what made this place great in the first few years.

a poster during the one of the many "Cowher Fevers" wrote:

Hey gang,

I know you won't believe this but I know for a fact that Bill Cowher was in Olathe looking at houses yesterday...etc.


"hey gang" is now short hand for eye rolling rumors...or just an auto-addition to a thread much like "aids tree, die in a fire..."

I heard that too. Also heard that one of the waitresses was Greg Hill's girlfriend and he's very angry with Marty.
