If general manager Scott Pioli is simply sticking to a tried-and-true Patriot Way-stricken plan, then let me be the first to say the outline is utterly unidentifiable.
Because it's hard to imagine the Kansas City Chiefs as an on-field improvement in 2012 without wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and cornerback Brandon Carr aiding the surge.
With NFL free-agency set to begin in less than a month, that nightmare is slowly becoming a bleak reality.
Peyton Manning may not be healthy. Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli may not be willing.
Past that, though, in-lies a golden opportunity for a team and quarterback who'd each be crazy not to at least entertain the possibility of a future together.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is assuring fans they should feel excited about this day, but in reality, how can they be?
"Let us go through the process," stresses new head coach Romeo Crennel.
Oh boy.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is already a day late and a dollar short. What the hell is he waiting for?
If Romeo Crennel is to be the team's next permanent head coach, the thing should have been done yesterday. Literally.
The Kansas City Chiefs are mediocre.
Nothing breakthrough here. It's been the case for at least a decade and a half now. The real question is why, and more to the point, why don't they do anything about it?
KU basketball's national championship in 2008 notwithstanding, the Kansas City sports-scene has been deprived of glory for quite some time. From the almosts and should-have-beens for the '90s Chiefs to the punchline buffoonery of the 2000s Royals, this generation of fans in Kansas City has seen just about everything there is to see ... except, of course, the team(s) they love winning it all.
Well, 'tis the season, right? I present to you:
The Blatantly obvious/past-due/painfully true Kansas City sports-fan's Christmas wish-list.
