I just cut Byron Leftwich and signed Sippio on my fantasy squad.....let the TD's rain!!!!!!

attack of the n00bs

Heck, our receivers have trouble catching passes with two hands, and Sippio routinely catches them with one hand? He did score 53 touchdowns on 135 receptions and over 1700 yards in less than a season with the Chicago Rush. True, he may be a bust, but if he is even half as good as many say we will have an awesome receiver. BTW, Rhonda Moss said prior to the last game the Chiefs were very impressed with Sippio.

It's nice to see Boomer Grigsby still has supporters despite his total lack of talent and waste of a roster spot.

poke, poke....

On Sippio
 

Why are you such a HATER? We need a find at this position and he is cheap and has an unbelievable upset with hype...

Did Bobby take your woman or wha?

Cannot understand how a Chiefs fan would not approve of this move right now....???

don't worry about it ..... there is a group of Chiefs fans that live to hate other fans.

if you don't support Sippio then you're "not a true fan" and a chicken little.

if you do support Sippio then you're stupid and silly for trying to have hope.

if you get pissed at carl then you're not a true fan and you should complain unless you are actually gonna do something about it ... like not going to the games.

if you don't go to the game then you're a bandwagon fan who isn't loyal.


you will figure out who they are pretty quick .... just don't sweat them.

Herm on Sippio
 

Herm Edwards: “[Bobby] Sippio is going to be moved up to the active roster. He will be active this week due to Eddie Kennison’s injury. We had to do some adjustments. He’s going back to Chicago where he played in the Arena League. It’s kind of good for him.

“He’s a guy that we liked in the pre-season. We got him in the Rams game and he did some good things. He’s been good practicing and is excited about his opportunity. He’s worked for it and now he’s going to get a chance.

...and on sip's speed and how much he will play....

Q: Are you at a point where you are comfortable getting Sippio into the game for a significant amount of time?

EDWARDS: “Well, I don’t know if it’s significant, but I know he needs to get in the game. One thing you should know about me by now is if you’re on that 45 [man roster] you’re going to play. I’m going to get you into the game. If you’re a young player you’re going to play.

“You look at our defense and 18 out of the 21 guys we dressed all played. The young rookie Brackenridge caused a fumble. A free agent runs across the field and hits 80 in the jaw and the ball comes out. We get the ball. Those young guys are going to play; they have to play.

”Q: The book on Sippio is he’s a tad too slow, so how does he make up for that?EDWARDS:

“He has great hands. The thing I’ve learned and I’ve been taught by coaches that the number one thing you have to do as a wide receiver is catch the ball. That’s a true statement and he can catch the ball. He has very strong guy. He’s a very physical guy; he can go inside. He’s a little bit like Bowe; he can go inside and catch the ball. He’s fearless. He’ll get hit and hold onto the football.

“Most of the time in this league most passes are contested. You’re in tight quarters when you have to catch the ball unless the coverage is blown. A quarterback understands that and that’s why a quarterback is always looking for a spot – a little window to throw it in. When he throws it there you have to hold onto it and this is what this kid can do.

“It’ll be interesting to see how he reacts when he gets in the game. He did well in the pre-season. I don’t think it will be too big for him. It’s his personality and the way that he carries himself. He’s over here today studying film with Eddie [Kennison]. You’re talking about a guy that’s from the Arena League. We bring him over here and now he’s up.

“That’s what I talked to all these young players about this week: you’re one play away from being off the practice squad, on the 53 [man roster], maybe on the 45 [man roster] and maybe having to go in the game. So you need to understand you’re just not here for practice, you’re here to learn what we’re trying to do and prepare yourself to go in the football game. See, I will give a young guy an opportunity if they’re mentally ready to play. But they’ve mentally got to know what to do. So, we’ll give him something to do and he’ll be good on special teams. He was good on special teams. He’s going to play and it’ll be fun to watch him play.”

There is a group of Chiefs fans that DESERVE to be hated.

Fans represent a cross-section of society. There's all types of fans. And some of them ARE dumb.

Come on now, htismaqe, you're better than this. Ignorance by one does not entitle hatred from another, let alone a "deserved hate"...

Besides, no one thinks Mecca is ignorant, just purposefully pessimistic.

Hate is a strong word, certainly. But I wasn't the first to use it.

There is a LARGE contingent of Chiefs fans that deserve every bit of derision they get.

Hey don't throw me into the dumb fan group here man.....I know that's a meant to be a funny shot and all but there are probably people here who really believe that.

I certainly wouldn't include you in that group.

And regardless of what Laz might say to defend that group, I wouldn't put him in it either.

It was a stab at Mecca's negativity, trying to be funny that's all.
Mecca-You are a very smart person, I am just frustrated by so many negative first outlooks, and I took that frustration out on you, in a sense.

I was initially defending the group and since laz would also defend that group and not be included in htismaqe's definition, I now have to wonder if I would be in or out of his definition...
