[Bickel] Hearing from several different people over last few days that Alex Smith is having devastating complications from his broken leg surgery battling infection. Supposedly he's had multiple surgeries to try to combat infection. Chances of him playing again in real jeaopardy.

And don't give me that "eye of the tiger/champion"-bullshit on this one; that particular version of 'fight or flight' is reserved for the ring-bearers and MVP's of this league.
It's nice we got some value for him, but he should have called it a day.
In any event, I hope he recovers and doesn't lose a leg because that would be horrible for him and his family. None of this changes that I do NOT appreciate Smith the player or his time here, but obviously you don't want to see a man lose a limb over something as fleeting as football.
Woman is making the choice. There is a part in Any Given Sunday where Lauren Holly says You are a football player. You play football. When that old ass wants to quit. [Reply]

:-) I'm thinking she Sandy has changed her mind. [Reply]
I think Alex gets $77mil if he can't comeback due to injury so not playing would have been really bad business and just stupid. Should have retired? LOL [Reply]

Sure, and if you lose your leg then all of that is worth jack-shit. [Reply]

He claims football is fleeting, yet took Smith being the Chiefs QB g as personal as someone killing his dog.
He still can't get over him.
And I sure as fuck wouldn't be looking for Chiefs or Smith "objectivity" from a guy who spent a good portion of his adult life getting up at 3 in the fucking AM to dress like Ronald McElvis. [Reply]

This is absurd. Although we are all ecstatic that we have Mahomes now, the guy was a top ranked QB last year, ranked higher than the likes of Rivers and Rodgers. The number 1 ranked deep passer in the NFL. “Brutally honest assessment”? Retire? How absolutely stupid.

Likewise.

Nope. You can take that dumbassed argument to the Skin's boards, where they might actually give a fuck about debating such nonsense. It's been proven a billion times over what a turd of a QB Smith was as a Chief, so no need to waste time or bandwidth on defending some dumbassed argument to the contrary.
I feel terrible for anything negative I've ever said about him personally. I wish him the best and pray he comes out of this 100% capable of normal movement. [Reply]
...the fact that FDE bothers years later ,or that the smack somehow even matters just proves the point even more. You take this shit waaaaay too personally. [Reply]
