REUTERS - In the end, it was Pioli. It was Pioli all along. In a shocking development, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has removed Scott Pioli as General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs. Rumors are swirling that this is due to a long lost "Zapruter"-style tape, which shows that Pioli himself, not video assistant Matt Estrella, actually was responsible for the New England Patriots infamous video taping scandal, or "Spygate" as it is more commonly known. In a statement, Estrella stated he felt "vindicated by the decision," adding that "folks now know the truth - I was Pioli's patsie from the start." Perhaps not surprisingly, New England head coach Bill Belichick was silent on the matter, though one unnamed source stated he "wouldn't be surprised to find if Belichick was a pawn in this all along." Deposed Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, in happier times with Bill Belichick Kansas City, fresh off an AFC West Division Championship, now finds themselves without a GM, though rumors of a new face in Kansas City have been surfacing throughout the day. With the Senior Bowl under way in Mobile Alabama, the Hunt Family is expected to move quickly in announcing a new General Manager.
In other news the New England Patriots football Czar Paul 13 just announced the hiring of Scott Pioli to fetch him coffee in the morning. He will also assist Paul in moving the office furniture around so as to maximize floor space and allow plenty of hot female interns into the premises.
REUTERS - Updating a previous item, it appears as though the Kansas City Chiefs have struck while the proverbial iron is hot, and are prepared to hire former Bucs and Bengals General Manager Vengeful Odin. It is unclear what direction Odin plans to take the team, though head coach Todd Haley is expected to be retained, at least at this point in time.
