Chiefs/Sporting KC

Chiefs

I've checked out, I really don't care about the Chiefs at this moment.  I want them to lose, get a better draft pick, and fire the coach and general manager.  I don't want to write too much about the Chiefs because my views don't really differ from most fans.  I don't see how you can keep Scott Pioli around.  He has hired two bad coaches, been unable to improve the team in free agency, and has drafted very poorly.  Tyson Jackson, Eric Berry, Jonathan Baldwin, and Dontari Poe are Pioli's first round draft picks, and none of them show much promise to become anything, Berry hasn't recovered from his ACL surgery.  It's just frustrating because these were the couple years the Chiefs were supposed to compete. Yet the inability to draft and develop players has killed this team, all the good players on this team are from Carl Peterson's drafts.  Teams can make excuses in baseball, and sometimes in basketball but football is a level playing field. No team has all the money, NFL stars aren't begging to be traded, most advantages in the NFL are earned, and the Chiefs aren't making the most of anything.  The Chiefs are really falling off my radar, two years ago they were my favorite team, now they're just blocking me from watching real football on Sunday's.

Sporting KC

It's good to have a team that knows what they're doing.  This offseason Sporting KC has been active, cutting players that didn't fit into their system and filling holes.  They recognize what players are replaceable, and those they need to build their team around.  They let two midfielders go, but then replaced the them with better options.  Right now they have a good striker in C.J. Sapong, and instead of saying "were good" they are looking to add a top of the line striker from Argentina.  In the year I've been following them I've been amazed how many good moves they have made.  Right now they have a young team with lots of potential, kinda like the Royals.  But Sporting KC is actually resigning their stars, not making excuses about payroll.  Sporting KC are making great business decisions, creating a winning atmosphere, instead being content and making excuses why they can't contend.  Sporting KC has the right mind set, they're making good things happen, instead of hoping. Its good to see one Kansas City sports team has it figured out.
