Joining Media Won't Fix Scott Pioli's NFL Reputation from KC Star
Pioli's name is a virtual curse word for many in the place he still calls home. The man who never saw much use for the media is now a member of the media. But if we can get away from jokes about candy wrappers and vitriolic banners flying at Arrowhead Stadium on game days and the "Right 53," we can see what is happening here.
Pioli is making the predictable career move to join NBC's Sunday night NFL studio show after being fired as Chiefs general manager in January.
And he's kidding himself if he thinks this is the fix to a diminished reputation around the NFL.
Chiefs announce Training Camp Schedule from News-Press Now
McGuffin said the parking gates and gate times haven't officially been decided, but it appears gates could open an hour before practice and parking 1½ hours before practice.
"I think there was some anxious people that are ready to get going," McGuffin said, who is at the helm of the camp for the second year. "Having a new coach, new quarterback, and seems like new energy. My interactions with them have been easier; not that it was difficult, but coach Reid has been great. His personality is unbelievable. It will be a win-win situation."
Pioli Joins Long List Of Former Chiefs Who've Hit The Airwaves from KC Star
Seeing former Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli latch onto a plum television job with NBC Sports' "Sunday Night Football" coverage got me thinking how many former Chiefs personnel have made it to the big time in broadcasting.
We must have prepared them pretty well.
Below is a list of ex-Chiefs in the booth or doing studio work.
Kansas City Chiefs - Team Report from Global Post
For most NFL teams, it's hard these days to differentiate between an OTA session and a minicamp practice.
But that's especially true for the Chiefs in Andy Reid's first offseason as head coach in Kansas City. With almost perfect attendance during the already completed 10 organized team activities, the so-called mandatory minicamp that started Tuesday turns into just three more days of practice for Reid, his staff and players.
The Shutdown Corner AFC West Draft Review Podcast With Greg Cosell from Yahoo! Sports
On Kansas City Chiefs second-round TE Travis Kelce: "He's an NFL tight end -- he's got that athleticism and movement. He's fluid -- I wouldn't call him explosive, but how many tight ends do we really say that about? They tend to be more measured and methodical in their movements, but he was fluid. I thought there was a toughness to him as well, and he was deceptive as a route-runner. He can threaten the vertical seam, there's no question. Look -- we know about the two-tight end element in the NFL now. A lot of teams are going that way, and that's tougher for defensive coordinators to defend that three receivers, because it gives the defense more questions that need to be answered."

Josh will be playing for Blue Valley North High School in Overland Park, Kan., a program that has won three consecutive state titles.

Tomlinson said that Ravens running back Ray Rice will probably make the top four, but he doesn't put Rice in his own top five.

Akbar Gbaja-Biamila Blasts Raider On NFL AM from Just Blog Baby
This morning, he was asked to answer a question from NFL AM's Double Coverage. The question was, "Which team will have the biggest win differential from last year?" Gbaja-Biamila stated the following, "Well that's easy, it's the Kansas City Chiefs. I think they go from two wins to about eight or nine, maybe even ten, when you look at what they have..." He goes on to talk about the dynamic players that the Chiefs have in his opinion, of course. Then, he makes the comment that just sent me through the roof. After running his mouth about the Chiefs some more, Gbaja-Biamila states, "And of course, they're (Chiefs) playing in the AFC West where, they've got the Chargers who haven't yet stepped up, and then the Oakland Raiders who you can just walk over."
