He is worth more to us than what he's worth in a trade. That's still true.

What wasn't true when I first said it was that LJ was asking for a ridiculous contract.

He's 27 years old and the effects of this last season cannot be discounted.

yeah that radio interview that was linked didn't sound like an angry i-wanna-get-out-of-kc kind of conversation at all...

my overall impression was that he actually wants to stay in kc and that he expects to get a lot more $$ when the time comes to sign on the dotted line...

whether it's the chiefs or some other team, larry wants to get paid...

i hope we pay him and lock him into a contract extension before he hits the market...

Bullshit, so you would pay him that kind of jack if you were GM? Christ, if that's the case, you make Peterson look good.

To many people are looking at the Chiefs in a pure entertainment standpoint, to either sit at home or go to the stadium eat and get drunk.

If the Chiefs do what they should do to compete for a Bowl in a few years it will likely involve a 3-13 year and that kills those people's fun because they don't really care about the bowl......they'll take their 8-8 and winning most home games cause they get drunk and have some fun, winning a bowl isn't their priority.

The first pick in the draft is not getting LT type guaranteed money, sure the contract value appears to be larger but that is illusion.

Unfortunately you are correct and Carl has built a career based on this fact.

What the hell else is watching pro sports?

It is entertainment.

The real entertainment is GOING to the bowl.

Wow, I've read only 5 pages and I know for sure only two things:

1. GoChiefs is a ****ing idiot.

2. He will never be a GM. (Ok maybe for the Lions.)

Some people are "entertained" by the possibility of their team winning it all, some aren't.

Mario Williams had 26.5 in guaranteed money last year as the top pick. Wasn't LT's contract 20 or 24 guaranteed?

Some of you need to listen to yourselves.

You've gotten to the point where you no longer think watching sports is about being entertained. Even worse, you seem to think that's a more noble or intelligent approach to watching your favorite team.

Take a break from internet message boards. Some of you are too concerned with the chest pounding the Chiefs allow you.

Mecca 04-27-2007 07:51 AM

I'd like to see a bowl win before I die.........

Get real.

My three best friends are Colt and Donk fans.

I USED to be entertained by the Chiefs. Then I saw how entertained they are by their teams.
