Arrowhead Pride

Aren't you Vice President of Arrowhead Pride?

(now I wanna be a VP of something, too)

That has to count for something. Joel needs an official unofficial “working title”…right?

impossible ... VP's never work on Saturday and Joel's working overtime today

loved that “head of miscommunication” bit … that’s funny :-)

One of these guys is our new VP of Communications for the Kansas City Chiefs

It is hard to to find pictures of the new Chiefs head talking guy… The other is Billy Devaney.

Neither is Arrowhead Pride’s Senior Vice President of Nonsensical Debate Joel Thorman

FYI: Ted Crews is on the right in your picture

FYI: Explain to us which side is right Ups... we are just simple folk.

He was also seen meandering with first round QB’s around draft time a couple years ago… it could be a sign.

yeah, a sure sign that's one QB we don't get anytime soon

From the St. Louis Media guide

In his two season in St Louis, Crews has reshaped the teams communications efforts and in addition to football communications, his staff has become a liaison for all departments in the organization in regards to their commuincations and public relations needs, as well as the strategic planning. He played an integral role working with the League Office and local and national media in the ownership transition from the Roenbloom family to Stan Kroenke during the 2010 season and formulated a media plan to assist overall selection Sam Bradford with his transition from college to starter and Offensive Rookie of the Year. Crews is also responsible for all written content and football footage on Rams.com in addition to all team photography needs.

There could be some changes coming at that mothership if you read into the last part of this.

Here is his full bio

nice find

It is hard to gather too much from it

because he probably wrote it, if you think about it.

wouldn't be surprised

wonder about this …

a media plan to assist overall selection Sam Bradford with his transition from college to starter

… if it translates roughly to: “ok, Sam … here’s your list of what to say, feel free to use any of these sentences as often as you like”

- it’s great to be here in St Louis
- it’s an honor to be part of this organization
- I’m looking forward to being part of the community
- I can’t wait to get started
- I really can’t talk about that right now
- I really can’t talk about that either

Not only am I the president

I’m also a customer.

What ad am I thinking of?

Hair club for men

from Hair Club Wikipedia page

Hair Club (formerly Hair Club for Men, also Hair Club for Men and Women) is one of the largest companies in the hair restoration and hair replacement industry, with more than 95 locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The company was founded in 1976 by Sy Sperling, known by the trademark phrase "I’m not only the Hair Club President, but I’m also a client."

95 locations?

Holy bald men, that seems like too much.

Victor Kiam; "I loved the razor so much I bought the company."

He actually owned the Patriots for a spell and opened a retail store in Tokyo just to protest the unfair trade practices of the Japanese.

He was a regular customer when, in a previous lifetime, I was a dining room captain in a five star hotel in Florida.

Terry Tate - Office Linebacker

Has been hired as VP of security and custodial affairs.

Why couldn't it be Terry Crews!?!

I guarantee that if Hunt made a Terry Crews hire as VP of Communications….ALL negative press would vanish within seconds! Lol

Dang, you beat me to it.

I was gonna say “not to be confused with this guy” then I would insert his pic. (maybe something like this)

Does this mean we finally get to move Brandon Albert to his natural position

of kick returner/booth official?

cheapham - January 28, 2012 reply

He looks like he is dangerously close to being 40 years old

And we know that is crossing the line when you work for Pioli and Donovan. The Chiefs don’t employ people over 40, remember?

Except for Cs and NTs.

Tarkus - January 28, 2012 reply

Here is some more info from the mothership

Here
It sounds like he thinks the Chiefs are a brutal organiztion:

"I want to thank Clark Hunt, the Hunt family, Scott Pioli and Mark Donovan for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this storied franchise," Crews said. "I am excited and honored to join the Chiefs family and I am looking forward to getting involved in the Kansas City community and working with the Chiefs staff as well as the local media."

Good thing he knows how to twist words…

Read between the lines

“I want to hate Clark Hunt, the Hunt Family, Scott Pioli, and Mark Donovan for making me come to this terrible franchise. I am terrified and disgusted to join the Soprano family and I am embarrassed by the Kansas City community and dreading getting my phone tapped by the Chiefs staff as well as being narced on by the local media.”

Stewardess... I speak lies.

Airplane is so awesome

Striped controller: Bad news. The fog’s getting thicker.
Johnny: [jumps to an overweight controller] And Leon is getting laaaaarrrrrger.

4th one in as many years Good Luck

chadb - January 28, 2012 reply

wow. this is a tough job to take on right now

however if the team starts winning, which imo they will because the team is stacked if healthy outside a qb….will be easy.

SDChief - January 28, 2012 reply

Ted Crews, welcome to your stepping stone to President of Something.

The question: do you take a promotion at another company even though you’ve heard many bad things about your new bosses? You do if you’re not planning on staying there for long anyway.

Chiefs image can’t get much worse so it’s a win-win for Mr. Crews. If he sets the ship right, congrats. If he can’t, Pioli or Donovan will likely be out and the blame will fall on them.

Chief Farmer - January 28, 2012 reply

It could be that cut and dry...

I don’t think the Chiefs are going to start chasing their image tail though.

I’m sure they will ignore it and focus on the future of the team through the media… who knows?

Off Topic

anyone else tired of seeing Joel show up all over the screen in his skivies on a bear rug. the ski mask isn’t fooling me Joel.

Hoochdawg - January 28, 2012 reply

at least it wasn't in his black jammies

Your first assignment, Mr.Crews, should you choose to accept it...

We have decided to go with Matt Cassel as our starting quarterback next year. I want you to spruce up his image with the fans just a bit.

Ouch,

I though about posting a comment like that… Glad I left it in more capable hands EL.

Well played.

I am in no way suggesting arson in the Lock Lloyd fire ;-)

When a windows opens - another door closes

In another public relations department move unrelated to the hiring of Crews, long-time Manager of Football Information Brad Kuhbander (left) has turned in his two-week notice and will leave the Chiefs next week. The Hamler, Ohio native joined the team in 2001 after working at both the University of Florida and the sports information office of his alma mater Baldwin-Wallace College in Cleveland. He was the longest tenured person in the team’s PR department with 11 years of employment. Actually, at 11 years he was one of the most veteran club employees in the building.

(They actually bolded the “unrelated” word.)

So now the Chiefs need a new

Manager of Football Information – ~~Brad Kuhbander~~

Dam Ups just got the editor job here… It was fun while it lasted Ups… go get em’

Truthfully, Steve_Chiefs could handle that spot.
