It turns out the message on the infamous signs placed this week outside the locker room in the Chiefs practice facility isn’t original. Coach Todd Haley said signs with an almost identical message were placed in practice facilities for the Jets and Cowboys when he was an assistant coach for those teams.

"(Wide receivers coach) Richie Anderson actually reminded me of that sign and how much it meant to him as a player," Haley said. "That sign was actually talked about in February. I wanted that one in the area the players wanted to see it the most on the way to the field."

The sign suggests that "losers assemble in small groups and complain about the coaches and other players." Running back Larry Johnson complained about Haley’s coaching
background in some recent tweets.

"It had bad words in it, actually," Haley said of the signs in New York and Dallas. "I cleaned it up. It always had bad words in it everywhere else I’ve been. We’re in a PC environment now."
