I’ve heard numerous others say Pioli is a great guy, and hearing him the few times he’s done interviews he never came across as arrogant to these ears. Whitlock just doesn’t like the guy & is trying to wield the power he thinks he has (but doesn’t have in reality) to get public opinion turned against Pioli. You can tell by the way he lashes out in his articles that it’s personal for him.

perhaps whitlock is confusing confidence with arrogance

What do you expect?

Does Shitlock still have a job? I found AP after being fed up by his articles and the god awful forums.

My favorite was the racism accusations against Herm on the KC Star boards. Classic.

He’s warm and engaging in all his interviews. He accepts all kinds of radio show spots even though some of them are relatively small and don’t bring in a lot of listeners.

He’s always smiling. He’s even less tight lipped than Coach Haley in some respects. That’s just crap that Whitlock hasn’t been fired yet and gone to work for the Steelers network and leave us alone.

is a bluster filled, self serving, megalomaniac, who can’t push his fat ass away from the table before he downs the equivalent of Scot Pioli and Todd Haley for supper. What else is there to say?

but coming up with nicknames isn’t his best vocation.

However, he must be commended for coining “King Carl” and successfully skirting the issue of ownership-as-the-problem since he got here in 1994 (?).

Chiefs fans, do you know where your owner takes his profits?

so I know I don’t have much, if any, room to talk here but I’m going to make a motion that we never post any of this dumbasses articles on this site.

And as always
GO CHIEFS!!!

Whitlock’s ego and sense of self-importance are almost as bloated as his big fat ass.

And I agree with everybody else on here: I’ve never seen any behavior out of Pioli where he doesn’t seem like a pretty cool and relatable guy. He’s well spoken and thoughtful and doesn’t seem at all like he has a huge ego for a guy who has won 3 Superbowls and been named Executive of the Year 3 times. I know we’ve debated Haley’s demeanor on here a lot this week, but does anybody see anything about Pioli’s demeanor that seems in any way unprofessional?

Seriously, Whitlock is a terrible sports writer, he offers virtually no insight into sports. Does anybody ever read a Whitlock article and think, “Wow, that’s an insightful point. I never thought about that before.” Maybe 5% of Whitlock articles contain something like this. Usually his criticism is something a 5th grader would glean. He is lazy at his job and couldn’t find Kaufman Stadium with a GPS.

that he’ll never get fired, even though 90% of fans probably can’t stand his opinions, because we can’t stop reading his BS. The Star doesn’t care if we like him or hate him as long as we read his articles & bring in add revenue. You’ll notice that every time one of Whitlock’s articles is posted on KC.com it’s the #1 most read article of the day. If he was always writing “It’s a process…they’re showing progress…give it time” nobody would be talking about it.

I don’t read or click on articles by this writer any longer. Since a large majority of the comments are about the person and really don’t forward discussion about the Chiefs, I’m wondering if AP links to his stuff are best left on the right side of the page and not placed on the main page.

(I have the utmost respect for all the leaders of AP and hope none of you are offended. I’m really not trying to tell you what to do. Not the point I’m trying to make. You’ve built a great, great blog. Thanks.)

…and when we do, it must be “Jabba” only..

That is why everyone but him has an Ego…
