The @NFLPA just released their player team report cards for 2024 and the results are ... suboptimal for the Chiefs.
Head coach Andy Reid gets A+ but Chiefs rank dead last in training staff and ownership. Ownership gets an F- from the players. pic.twitter.com/2XyHkQfFru

That's no longer as true as it used to be. The last 3-4 seasons have changed that quite a bit. [Reply]
Colin Cowherd called this a big nothing burger and in fact, he said like 8 of the last 10 Super Bowl winners owners all graded a "D" or lower and all the top orgs that got As and Bs, like the Cowboys, haven't won jack shit in 30 years, including the Dolphins.

Bingo, I've been saying throughout this thread I don't want players here who need to be pampered. They're already making insane amounts of money, and have access to the best medical and nutritional care in the world. If their locker isn't cozy enough for them, or they're upset that trainers are pushing them to play through minor injuries, they shouldn't be Chiefs.
I'd still like to see these grades get a little better, but the pussies who gave us these low scores are probably bitter assholes like Tyreek and Char Ward. We have three of the best football players ever on this roster who happen to love it here, not to mention the best head coach in the entire league. If you want to win, come to KC. If you want a good massage, go sign with the Browns and their QB can hook you up. We'll keep winning Super Bowls. [Reply]
Sorry to have to agree with Cowherd but this just seems a bit silly to even have out there.
A bunch of millionaires complaining about what a Locker room looks like....what food is like...etc...
I also get that the owners are Billionaires.....but should something like this really matter to the average fan?
Now if we are talking about making the hometown fan experience better I am all there....but making sure the players have executive level comfort isn't high on my list of concerns for seeing a 3-peat [Reply]

The Chiefs don't have PSLs but they do have an inflated year 1 ticket model for season tickets. My memory is the first year is about 2.5 times what every subsequent year costs. A sort of backdoor PSL for first time STHs.
If your source below either 1) Uses the secondary market for its pricing or 2) Uses the 1st year Season Ticket price, I think either of those approaches are probably not quite fair.
Clark doesn't control the secondary market - Patrick Mahomes does. And the overwhelming majority of season ticketholders are paying far far FAR less for their seats than that. We're lower bowl at the 35 yard line and I think ours our $150/st or thereabouts.
Those numbers don't add up, to be honest. There are suites and then about 4 sections (2 to either side of the 50 yardline) and then some seats in the very first few rows of the lower bowl that are more expensive than mine are. And there damn sure aren't enough of those to QUADRUPLE the average ticket price for seats in the stadium when the entire upper bowl is far cheaper than mine are.
There's something wonky about those figures. [Reply]
Bottom line is that I could take my STs and sell about 3 games in any given year on the secondary market to pay for the rest of my season, including the playoffs. That tells you what the demand for these tickets are.
And that the Chiefs have them priced at nowhere NEAR the break-even point on the supply/demand curve. [Reply]

Well the Chiefs clearly aren’t like that at all. Just ask Kadarius Toney! [Reply]

Yes, I believe all of those venue of Personal Seat licenses and those prices may be aftermarket. The upperbowl are all below $165 or so for STM. [Reply]
