So someone somewhere started a rumor (or maybe it's true?) that GM Scott Pioli received a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. I have no idea if it's true and the Chiefs apparently aren't saying either.

Just spoke to the #Chiefs and they say they do not comment on the contract status of any employees who are not players. — Danny Parkins (@DannyParkins) October 11, 2012

So Pioli may have an extension, or he might not, and the head of #Chiefs PR tells me they won't announce it either way. — Danny Parkins (@DannyParkins) October 11, 2012

The internet got ahold of this rumor a few days ago. Can anyone figure out where this rumor started? I have no idea. I feel so out of the loop.

Rumor has it, ( via Soren Petro ) that Scott Pioli has signed an extension. Thoughts? — Barry Peraino (@BarrysKoolaid) October 9, 2012

@getnickwright someone just said that a Kietzman mentioned that Scott Pioli has received a contract extension? If so WTF? — Sheldon Wilkening⚾ (@Swilk15) October 9, 2012

If the rumor is true that Scott Pioli got an extension than the world really is coming to an end in December #12/21/12 — Nick Cooper (@Coopscoop15) October 10, 2012

Heard rumor on sports radio that Chiefs GM Pioli may get an extension for more or less running my beloved franchise into the ground.Weee! — Kyle O'Brien (@Adcuda_Kyle) October 11, 2012

Rumors are Scott Pioli got a contract extension. What the hell has he done to deserve that?#TypicalKC — Tim Bomgardner (@Tim_B2021) October 11, 2012

I swear if Pioli has signed an extension like the rumors are saying I may be done with the chiefs — Matthew Juergensen (@juerg24) October 11, 2012

If Scott Pioli did sign a 2 year extension this week I am done watching the Chiefs. — Austin D Bowers (@abslimman1) October 11, 2012

If Pioli has a contract extension.... holy hell... — Cody(@kcroyalsfann) October 11, 2012

From the rumors I'm hearing, if Scott Pioli really got a contract extension, I am going to burn down Arrowhead!!! — Andrew Kinsman (@RoyalAK47) October 11, 2012

#chiefs signed Pioli to a 2 year extension. 3 more years of Pioli. Cassel's extension is probably in the works now. I need a new NFL team. — Scott(@Mudvayne48) October 11, 2012

UPDATE: The internet comes through again. I asked who started the rumor and they said:
