Now the poor little guy is crying because the organization that gave him a chance and supported him, despite the possibility of abuse and character issues, didn’t want to write a blank check.
Bull. They “supported him” because he’s an all pro. End of discussion. A regular Joe would’ve been cut instantly [Reply]
Look, we're fans of our team, and even when they suck, we're still fans. We're loyal.
Hill insisted on being the highest paid WR in history. He took the money and ran. That's fine, but as far as I'm concerned, he's no more important to me than any other WR in football. Don't care. I feel like The Chiefs gave him a chance, then they stood by him on round two of domestic issues when everyone in the media wanted to bury him(and I'll be honest, I assumed it was true too. So I was wrong.) and when it came time to deal, he wouldn't budge on insisting on being the highest paid WR in history.
So that's fine, but I'm a fan of my team. My team means more to me than that team meant to Hill. So whatever. Bye.

Obviously that helps, but it didn’t help Kareem Hunt, did it?
When they drafted him, he was a nobody. Just another short, fast guy with fairly low expectations. They gave him a shot despite his past.
I don’t think many teams would cut a player instantly when he wasn’t even charged with a crime. I also think they did a lot to protect his public image. I don’t believe he was the world’s greatest teammate by any stretch, but they didn’t allow any of it to escape the locker room. [Reply]

He’s absolutely thrilled he was traded to the team of his choice in a state without income tax where he already lives in a high profile city that prioritizes flash.
There can be some truth to both sides. I don’t think he consciously decided to make himself look like a rejected and discontent whiner. [Reply]

Batting 1.000 today and just feel wonderful.
Sigh.
It sucks badly, we had every chance to win today and could do pretty much nothing right. Our Left tackle problem scares me the most, if Mahomes doesn't have time to even set his feet without bailing we need to fix that pronto. [Reply]
