My Multiple Personalitys and Their Letter to Arrowhead Pride (A Shamless Attempt at the Rec.)

Two weeks ago I attempted to write a humorous rant letter to Clark Hunt. After posting that letter I received many appreciated compliments from various APers, thank you. I noticed, however, that those that were most likely to post and give me a recommendation for a clever or possibly unique post were those that had some reservations on trusting Pioli and Haley after a 2 win season. For the most part, those that either like to give Pioli or Haley more time to make an evaluation or those that don't like reading, even if humorous, possible negative material did not comment, recommend, or maybe even read my post.
'A Fan's Letter to Clark Hunt' only received 13 recommendations and fell short of being placed in the recommended posts area. So what does it take to get a post in the rec'd area when writing humorous or unique material? Does one have to write and submit a post that has something for everyone? Is that even possible? Could I come up with a post that makes the feel-good-fan feel good and also represent the I-want-someones-head-fan? My shameless solution is 'My Multiple Personalitys and Their Letter to Arrowhead Pride'.
Here is how it works:
- If you are an APer that likes only positive posts and are more likely to read or recommend a post if it has a positive spin on it...then please only read every other line of the letter below, starting with the first line.
- If you are an Aper that has reservations about the direction of the team lead by Haley despite the Steelers game and are more likely to read and recommend a post that questions whether he is the right man for the job...then please read every line of the letter below.
I hope you get the outlook you are looking for...and...feel free to Rec away... ;-)...not really, it is just a fun piece that is not that good...yes it is...no it's not...shut up...you, shut up...

Dear Arrowhead Pride, My passion and trust that I have for your Kansas City Chiefs is fading despite watching last Sundays football game, and I find my distrust for Haley being the leader burns stronger with every game. When I tuned into the Chiefs broadcast on Sunday and I saw Todd Haley, I was discouraged by his leadership and disappointed with the lack of expression on his face after a win; an overwhelming feeling came over me and I found myself having an urge to write another letter to Clark Hunt. The latest Chief's game did nothing to help me want to fully trust Haley with the direction and progress of the Chiefs. The Steelers game started to not only become frustrating but an embarrassment to the Kansas City fan and has done nothing to open my eyes to the fact that the Chiefs will make progress for the remainder of the season. Players do not like being yelled at and berated every practice and after every miscue. After watching Todd Haley and his presence on the sideline I am sure any future free agents will find playing for the Kansas City Chiefs very difficult, and I am sure they will have no pleasure in signing with the Chiefs. There is no doubt they have skills and devotion to give, but it is not something that they would want to give to the Chiefs as long as Haley continues on his current path. No one is more arrogant and self-centered than Haley, and he is not able to successfully lead this team and produce a winning product in the years to come. I sincerely hope that every Chiefs fan comes to the realization that what I am telling you is the reality of the situation. Scott Pioli will be doing Chiefs fans everywhere a favor if he ends Todd Haley's contract at the end of the season. I hope he does not try to retain Haley after this season. The Chiefs led by Pioli and Haley are full of dead ends, arrogant decisions, and rookie mistakes. They have no ideas for a vision of the future. Believe me, the current players do not care for the current coaching style. They do not think Haley is the Chiefs best option for the upcoming year.

Well-earned Rec, sir!

Usually when a post reaches the Recommended Fanpost area
it is one that was written from the heart with no intentions of being recommended.
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.

Man talk about messing with my mind, I tried looking at it from the point of view as offered, but my Bi-polar side kicked in and everything went to hell. Nice effort on the writing though, if I have just one request…Please don’t f*ck with my mind so early in the day. Pardon me, bad day with work and trying to fight off a shooting spree type of solution (kidding, maybe,maybe not) It’s a work in process.
is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?
This Chiefs team is closer to a new expansion team than it is a playoff contender, your expectations should match that.
I'm with Fanatic on this one.
I read it both ways. The positive spin seems a little more kool-aid than I normally am, but the other side I’m mostly left going “What the hell?” Good effort anyway.
Heh, reread fanatic’s comment again. I missed the shooting spree bit, but I know that feeling. Not in any seriousness of course, but the frustration is definately there.
Loved it.
Now that you have all these recs you can print it out and put it up on mommy’s refridgerator. Here’s a cookie.

We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09. Almost there :)

In which I disagree strongly
Like a 7 on the richter scale.
Haley will be fine, maybe he could hire Dad to be the Booth OC.
Hell, Mom made him shave IMO.
And as far as what the players need is a boot in the Ass when they screw up, and a Pat on the back when they do it right.
