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
Our players over here training like Clubber Lang winning Championships while everyone else is using strengthening bands and Nautlilus equipment. [Reply]

If you don't have the Rocky 4 training montage song in your head right now, what are you even doing with your life? [Reply]

I wonder what the level of participation is for this survey.
The NFLPA page about the survey says they got 1,706 responses. If you assume 53 active roster players plus 16 practice squad players across 32 teams, that's 2,208 active members at a given time, which suggests a response rate of around 75%.
I'm unclear whether inactive free agents could participate or not, but it generally seems like they got very high participation. [Reply]
That stuff is easy to compare to newer builds and feel like you don't have the best accommodations. But those things are not really important in our day to day life and surely don't lead to on field success. It's basically the college recruiting arms race come to the NFL.

I knew someone deep in the Chiefs Org from Clark through Pioli. They said when Pioli got there there was all kinds of "good ol' boy" internal perks and repurposing of resources. Like the on-staff carpenters would go build someone a new kitchen on the team's dime.
Pioli wanted to get rid of all that but it was kind of a "how we do it" thing and caused a lot of conflict (candy wrappers etc). Not sure if that's the way it still is, (and this was one person's account) but if I was a player and locker rooms were smelly and didn't have nice chairs and no good sound system or what we players need to prepare for and unwind after a game, I would be pretty mad seeing another Gracie hunt bikini photo on vacation in Belize or Australia or any other of the 25 places she goes during the winter.
Also, off topic LOLOLOL that Brittney Mahomes got into Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue before Gracie did lolol plastic dime a dozen. [Reply]
