Well, those sh*ts have been given and we thought they were gone forever. But today, we can rest - immersed at last in the gloriously empirical and epistemological knowledge that Mahomes has given us back our sh*ts.

The only clarity I've gleened is that Fat Andy is the king of bullshit...remember when he used to deflect contract issues with the "you'll have to ask Dorse"? Like he was out of the loop...
Truth is...he was up to his elbows in that shit. He wanted his LR to reflect himself .."kept, paid, happy and mediocre".
Dorsey didn't want Berry or Maclin...which were both correct evaluations. After Berry raised a premeditated national stink about not getting record money...and essentially went over Dorsey's head with Chunt...it reduced his power to shape his own roster. He learned the hard way who really wears the pants in KC...and had to resort to covertly cutting Maclin by text. If you remember..nobody knew it was going to happen.
This was done for 2 reasons....#1. Fat Andy wouldn't have allowed it. #2. It was a giant **** you for not backing him in the Berry deal...and letting him do his job.
He wanted out at that point...and I don't blame him. He knew what he was doing with the Maclin text...and it would get under Andy's skin. It was right after the fat conman went to his wedding...
He's kicking ass in Cleveland...and I hope he wins a SB. The 2018 Chiefs are HIS team...
Thanks for PMII, Dorsey!! You were right about Berry....and Maclin.

I have supported Berry throughout the season, and I stand by my statements bashing people who questioned his toughness and who said that he was just sticking around for a paycheck. I think Berry has earned the benefit of the doubt. Also, we have no idea what the internal discussions were between him, the trainers and doctors, and Reid and Veach.
But I have been on the cut or restructure Houston bandwagon for a long time. I believe Houston has value, but not at his current salary. And even with the benefit of the doubt, Berry is now on the cut/injury settlement list, regardless of health. I am not sure if it's even worth keeping him even if he restructured his contract.
Bunch of drama queens on this board. I'm standing by Eric Berry. I am not going to get mad at a player for getting hurt. That's ridiculous. Plus, we don't even need him for this game. It's the Raiders for crying out loud.
That said if he can't stay healthy which that seems to be the case with his salary we need to move on after the season. We'll see how the playoffs go. That's all that matters at this point. [Reply]

So many people are just jumping to conclusions that this will be an easy win for the Chiefs. Do you guys even watch the Chiefs? [Reply]

Yes I do watch the Chiefs. I haven't missed a game in years. Tell me, how many nonplayoff teams have the Chiefs lost to this season?
Call me cocky call me whatever but I'm not worried about the Raiders. Not saying it will be easy but I have no doubts Chiefs win this game. [Reply]

Every year the Chiefs have that ONE game that they had no business losing to some shitty team with no shot at the playoffs. That game hasn't happened yet. Lets get through this last game without being cocky so we can have a season with out this problem. [Reply]
Berry needed surgery to remove what is essentially a bone spur. He didn't do that so he guaranteed on-going tendonitis after prolonged running/playing in games. He has wasted a roster spot. [Reply]
