Jason Whitlocks's Articles About Kansas City Chiefs: Contradictory?

I got up this morning and started working, looking forward to the Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead against the Ravens this coming weekend, the first round of the playoffs, something that has not happened since 2006, and then I read Jason Whitlock’s article on Foxsports.com about Todd Haley.

Long pause and a deep breath!

I have read many of Whitlock’s columns about the Kansas City Chiefs. The man is miserable when the Chiefs are doing well. He also contradicts himself on a regular basis.

Today he praises Scott Pioli for filling the locker room with “Young people who have a track record of responsibility” and “Pioli scooped up a bunch of talented team captains and choir boys," as well as “KC’s general manager has stocked his roster with the kind of high-character, responsible players other teams talk about acquiring but rarely have the discipline to do so."

However in May, on the same subject he wrote “It’s appropriate to wonder did the Chiefs sacrifice talent and roster needs to get kids willing to blindly submit to Pioli and Haley’s bully-leadership tactics”.

If you read the column, he states that Todd Haley has not provided any contribution to the success of the Chiefs this season, it is all about the brilliant moves of Scott Pioli and a ridiculously weak schedule

He writes of Haley, “He’s a fatally flawed head football coach. He’s insecure, mean-spirited, emotional and irrational."  He also writes “Haley—not his Kansas City Chiefs—is quite possibly the biggest fraud in football."

However, on November 28th, he tweeted that “Todd Haley has turned Dwayne Bowe into an absolute beast. Wow. Tip of the hat to Haley”.

On March 17th he wrote, “I have to give Pioli and Haley credit. They’re doing this off season what I expected from the outset. They’re building a competitive football team. Good for them and us”.

Jason Whitlock no longer writes columns for the Kansas City Star. Nothing that he said or did in 16 years changed this Chiefs organization for the better or for the worse.

Todd Haley will walk into Arrowhead stadium on Sunday as the head coach of the AFC West Champion Chiefs. Scott Pioli will watch his Chiefs team play their first playoff game, at home mind you, for the first time in seven years.

Another pause and another deep breath.

Enough said.
