Nobody seems to have bought into this regime as much as Charles, and from the get go. He hasn't said nil about becoming a backup, he's done everything right. Including, seeing his team struggle on offense, knowing there was something he could do to change that, and wanting the ball in his hands. He got verbally raped for wanting to be a winner. Not wanting to be a stat leader, just a difference maker for this team.

I don't disagree with the concept ... what I don't know are the actual facts. I don't understand why Charles isn't seeing the field more. I really don't. It's puzzling and mysterious ... as though there's something going on behind the scenes that no one knows about. Nevertheless, I have to take this "story" with a grain of salt ...
First off, when did the super-secret, Pioli-enforced, Arrowhead Society Fight Club decide to allow players to disconnect themselves from the cone of silence and talk to Nick Wright about jack? I'm a little skeptical of his "sources".
Second off, the whole lead-in to his show was way over the top ... the Chiefs are in danger of losing Charles? Really? Because Carthon is a known ass hole?
Third off, it seems to me that there would be ways to handle something like this internally. If Charles or any of the players feel that Carthon was out of line, there will be opportunities for them to make their grievances known to Haley. Nick Wright isn't their savior or counselor or arbiter.
Fourth off, Charles is a big boy. I have serious doubts as to whether or not he is going to let Carthon break his spirit. He's a tough guy. Hell, he dislocated his shoulder on every third play last year (or so it seemed), popped it back in, and was back on the field before you could say, "Touchdown Kansas City". To me, that doesn't sound like a guy who's going to let Maurice Carthon get control of his head.
I guess I just don't trust Nick Wright to say or do anything that isn't in the best interest of Nick Wright and his ratings. Especially after the absurd manner in which he overplayed the entire DJ issue last year.
