The thing with Pioli. When they hired him he walked over to me and told me “I’m telling you right now I’m letting you go for what happened in NE.” It’s a shady business.
Keep in mind, he wasn't released immediately, he was released 5 days before the start of the season which fucks him over in finding another job as well. Talk about being a dick because he injured your golden boy. [Reply]

Great observation! He was my favorite player for two years along with Ed Reed with the Ravens. He was on the Super Bowl 47 winning team. He lead the team in tackles his second year, something that usually Ray Lewis did. Forced a turnover in the AFC Championship against the Pats, and was a key member of the Super Bowl team. He revealed at the end of the season he had been playing with a rib injury since week 2. I followed him on twitter even after he left, but for some reason he didn't get along with John Harbaugh and was probably why he was let go.
When he left, I thought the story was that he didn't like the yelling and cursing of the coaching staff and didn't get along with him. Was that Gunther and Krumrie and those guys?
As much as we all hate Pioli, it's a little hard for me to believe that he would screw over his current team out of loyalty to his past team. That's very counterproductive to one's own success. [Reply]

There's a reason he played for 4 different teams and his longest tenure with 1 club was 3 years. [Reply]

As I have said many times, I think he came here to deliberately destroy the team. Everything he did sucked, was wrong, was damaging, to every aspect of the organization. Everything. He basically did to the Chiefs what I would do to the Broncos if I was their GM.
I refuse to believe it was an accident. Nobody is that stupid. [Reply]
