The Atlanta Falcons have hired former Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli as assistant general manager under Thomas Dimitroff.

"Scott is one of the most respected and adept talent evaluators in the NFL and a member of three Super Bowl championship teams," Dimitroff said in a statement released Wednesday. "We have worked together well in the past and been friends for more than 20 years. We have had the opportunity to experience a lot of success together, and I am very pleased that he has agreed to join our personnel team so we can work together again.

So Pioli goes from Dmitroff's boss here to his second in command in Atlanta? It is a good pick up, but that is the irony of the NFL.

At least he was smart enough to not accept the Doofins job, if it was offered.
