Second, yes, absolutely, that basketball hoop needs to go. This has nothing to do with Jones. I’ve thought this all season. I’m all for guys being able to blow off steam, and there’s some genuine team building that can happen around that hoop. But the games have slowly moved from shooting around to H-O-R-S-E to friendly one-on-one to heated two-on-two.
Once, earlier in the season, Marcus Kemp went flying into a wall. On another day, a tile fell from the ceiling, crashing to the ground directly in front of Mecole Hardman’s locker.
Give them a ping pong table. Or pool. Corn hole. Pop-a-shot. Whatever.
But this hoop has been a bad idea for a long time.

Can't speak to this person's credibility, but it was an awfully creative lie if it's not true.
What the Chiefs do with Jones in the offseason will probably tell us something. [Reply]

And his reaction legitimately could be him getting pissed off that the
media was basically trying to insinuate something by asking him what specific play he got hurt on. They were being morons about it. [Reply]

The legality of it is weird.
Right... a guy falls down in a locker room and then a team of lawyers hands out NDAs? The Chiefs going to sue one of their players if they talk about it? :-)

Because people were spreading BS a few days before a playoff game that caused people to question how he's running his locker room and create a distraction? I'm sure he was angry. [Reply]
