Like Britt Reid was the only NFL position coach drinking and on Adderall at his team's practice facilities. |

We ended up having the worst record in all of football that year. I was fired. Compounding that, making matters even worse, during my last month with the Kansas City Chiefs, a player that I loved dearly, that I thought I knew very well, murdered his girlfriend one Saturday morning before a game. He came to the office after murdering her. He came to the office to speak to me. I talked to him in the parking lot. Minutes later, I watched him shoot himself in the head.” |

Maybe so, but I was told Pioli had zero to do with any of it by CP. Not that he was a cause of it but he partially was gone because of it. He had a meeting in his office on Saturday.

Maybe not the exact 5 minutes I spoke of but it does collaborate my point. Clark cleaned house and no doubt Belcher had something to do with it. CP said that it had nothing to do with it and Pioli had no contact with Belcher prior. All bullshit.

Belcher may have has something to do with it but we'll never know because Clark won't say and the firing happened a FULL 13 MONTHS after Belcher killed himself. It's reasonable to believe that if Belcher had been a significant contributor to the situation, Pioli would have been fired much, much sooner. As for that Saturday, Belcher was never in Pioli's office. Pioli met him in the parking lot. They did not have a "conversation". Pioli had just enough time to notify Gibbs and Crennel before Belcher shot himself. Again, we'll never know unless the people that were there tell us but I imagine the extent of what was said was "don't do this, we can work this out" and nothing more. |

And that's NOT what CP said at all. AT ALL. They said Pioli didn't MEET with Belcher. He didn't meet with Belcher. They had an unplanned meeting in the parking lot. It wasn't a scheduled get together and they most certainly didn't discuss football at all since Belcher killed himself mere minutes after Pioli arrived. You're just wrong here. Again. |

Clark probably didn’t want anymore players killing themselves upon seeing peehole.

To say Pioli was fired because of the Belcher incident is just foolish. What got Scooter canned was his spectacular failure as a GM. Newspaper exposes, TV blackouts, banners flying at Arrowhead, and the worst season record in team history (tie) made Clark realize he had to act in order to save his business.

Common sense says that if Belcher was that big of a factor, Clark wouldn't have waited 13 months to fire Pioli, after a 2-14 season to boot. |

The Belcher thing was a random tragedy. If anything it would have bought more time for Pioli just based on the emotional circumstances.

I gotta stop opening this thread.
That pic of Britt Reid looks too much like Titty Meat. |
