Pres. & GM Carl Peterson out at KC

[FinFan1nDC]

Could be a major distraction for this team this week. He has been there forever and one has to wonder now if Herm will be thinking more about his job security than the game vs. the Fins. One can only hope.

Will likely mean that "The Preacher" will soon follow. Hopefully they'll be succeeded by other bozos or else we'll soon have a taste of how the Jests, Jills and Cheatriots felt when Parcell's hiring was announced.

I don't think stuff like the GM getting fired has anything to do with players' on field results.

The coach, maybe. Not the GM.

yeah, he's killed them. Some poor drafts in recent years, but also whenever he has a trade set up to get picks, or get a top notch player, he plays hardball and screws over his team. It took the owner of KC forcing him to give us a second for Surtain (whom he said was worth a 4th at best), and he got lucky that the Vikings felt that they were only a pass rusher away from dominance and gave up a 1st for Allen.

If anything, they are going to play harder. Peterson hand picked this team. Now these players have to impress whoever is going to take the job. Remember the first thing Parcells, Ireland and Sparano did? They looked at each player on the roster. Believe me, they will be trying to put some good impressions on the next boss.

I was thinking that this pretty much sends 'ol Herm out to pasture.

Players don't tend to bust their humps for lame-duck coaches.
