Wow. They wanted his autograph. Peyton was in KC. Peyton has never been in KC since these guys have been Chiefs.

Much ado about nothing.

Dude it's Peyton Manning. You don't think NBA players asked Michael Jordan for autographs? I guarantee you that Brandon Flowers has asked Champ Bailey for an autograph before.

FFS these guys can't do anything without being ridiculed. What is this, a TMZ crowd? What's next they can't buy a car in Denver after a loss? Give em some space. The game is over.

I don't care if they want an autograph. My sole objection is that I want the players on my favorite team to be at least as passionate about their team as I am. By all means, get an autograph. Get 100 autographs. But don't camp out waiting for the guy to emerge from the locker room after he just whooped you on your own turf. I don't even want to hear crap about "it was only 8 points" either.

It wasn't all that long ago that little-known, mediocre talent George Teague tackled T.O. at mid-field in Texas stadium when TO was a Niner and twice defiled the Cowboys' logo in post-TD celebrations. If this team had more George Teagues and less D'Wayne Bowes, it would be in a whole lot better shape than 1-10.

The autograph hounds thing seems so, so minute in the grand scheme of things but it's so big when you think about just how much this locker room sucks and their will to win is absolutely gone. I pay $10-25 to play softball tournaments on weekends and I'm more angry about losing stupid old man softball games than these jokers are about losing a football game for which they're compensated hundreds of thousands of dollars and all the strange vagina they can possibly use. While I'm well-aware that comparing beer-sofftball to professional football is stupid, the point stands.

It's pathetic. I know it's a business and there's a lot of money involved. I'm okay with that. I don't expect any Chiefs player to cut themselves after a tough loss. But I do expect our stars to WANT to win. I want them to be pissed off when they lose. I want there to be enough peer pressure in that locker room that players who screw up feel ashamed and have some accountability when they walk out of that stadium in their $2,000 suits and hop into their cars that cost more than my house. Buck up men. If you have nothing left at all, play for pride.

After yet another loss at home, you bet it does. If they want an autograph/picture, do it at another function, not after you just get your ass handed to you. Get it at one of those celeb golf tourneys, get it at a player meet and greet, hell, get it on Bourbon St. during Mardi Gras, just don't do it at Arrowhead.
