Offensive tackle John Tait stormed out of Arrowhead Stadium on Tuesday, leaving a $4 million offer on the table after his agent accused Chiefs president Carl Peterson of cursing and bullying the deeply religious young Mormon."None of you guys would like to be treated like we were treated," agent Ethan Locke said. "He used the 'F' word four or five times when he was yelling at John and trying to intimidate him. John's a strong Mormon. After the second one, he stood up and said this is over.
"And you know what? We're going home tonight, and that's not a threat. It's unfortunate for John and the Chiefs and the fans. It takes a lot of nerve for a 24-year-old kid to say no to $4 million on principle."

I hear you. Reading that article brings back so many memories. And not a single one of them were pleasant. Carl, head coach Gunther Cunningham, and Brian Shay. [Reply]
Is this the guy who allegedly smacked up a woman when he was a Chief? I recall a running joke that a player was named "Smack my bitch up", but couldn't exactly pinpoint it. [Reply]
That’s a serious lifestyle change to have to get used to post career. I know Nate Newton used to be on billboards around town showing dramatic weight loss and he was unrecognizable. Tough to change when you’ve been a big eater your whole life. [Reply]
