The #Chiefs have reached out to ESPN analyst Louis Riddick to set up an interview for next week for their now-vacant GM job, sources say

Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN 54m54 minutes ago
The Kansas City Chiefs have not contacted me and there is no interview set up for this week. Source? Me.


So RapSheet got played. Was he played to try to skirt the Rooney rule? Or just played to keep people tuned in?

In a fair universe, he would burn the source. Or, if his source was second hand, that source should burn his source.

"sources"


actually, both reports could be true. The first report claims the Chiefs 'reached out' but doesn't confirm that contact was made. It also doesn't claim a meeting was, in fact, scheduled.

They could be splitting a hair while only talking to an agent. Odd that Roddick goes to some length to deny and then mock the source. ESPN doesn't care if he is being contacted, its not for the same job.

Yes. But I also realized its possible that Reddick, who almost inexplicably has been mentioned as a candidate for numerous GM jobs in the last two years, could be playing games here for financial gain. Or is getting played by teams who would love to score a Rooney Rule avoiding interview with someone they aren't likely to hire.
