I was still in Cali at the time iirc and news on the Chiefs back then was hard to come by

thanks for the info! + rep to all of you who gave it

The Cowboys bowl teams were full if assholes, they won 3 bowls that's all that matters.

I concur, during the Raider game the first thing I thought of he was playing scared or coaches speak "Playing not to lose". Face it guys , Cassel shouldn't be the franchise QB if he is scared shitless in making a mistake( INTs) and when he does make one it's goodnight sweet prince. It will come in bunches after the initial error, thus He doesn't have the mentality to be a good QB, due to his personality being a hothead. Which in turn makes him press.

this team is missing a few just straight up nasty mutha ****as!

Im all for adding Merriman if he hits the open market because of that fact.

I HATE seeing a defensive player help a offensive player up after a hit, I want a guy that kicks players when they are down and is just not a nice guy. At least one!

Merriman without the roids = Quincy Black

Who?

exactly

I don't mind a little "bad boy"-ish behavior as long as the player in question respects his team mates, the City, and the fans.

Ideally, everyone has the talent of DT and keeps their personal shit on the down-low, but that seems to be the exception more than the rule.
Or ****; just be "weird" or unique like Ocho or Troy, but be a great player.
There's plenty of room for personality and quirkiness, or for even just being a straight-up horses ass as long as you show the game the respect it deserves.

I agree wholeheartedly with this post.

A little bad boy-ish behavior is fine and dandy. I think we are in agreement though that beating on women and endangering peoples lives driving drunk goes past that though.

I think some here are thinking everything is the roids. It isnt, he suffered a really bad knee injury that takes two full calendar years to fully heal from. He has awhile to go till that and he has recently shown signs of getting back to where he was.

He has 4 sacks in the last two games and when he was all juiced up he got 20 in 14 games.

If it doesnt cost us a pick, what do WE have to lose? Hunt owes us at least one shot at a premier player like him. There are always gonna be risks involved, if he doesnt return to form, we lost some cap space (if there is a cap) ...who really cares, we have so much cap space we are likley paying penalties for not spending enough. We are below tthe cap floor and into the cap basement! And the basement is flooding!

Right. You can't go "Big Baby" on the world around you in this league and expect everyone to have your back at that point, regardless of how talented you may be.

Without delving in to a miasma of social-engineering gobbledygook; at the end of the day, you have to carry yourself like a man who still has everything to prove and who takes no blessings for granted.
THAT's the big difference I see between talented, winning individuals, and True Champions.

Right now, Troy Polamalu is the guy I hold up as being the epitome of that concept.

Its easy to always focus on the qb. Women do that. They'll know nothing about football and when the team is 1-7 they'll say "They need a new qb" because that's all they know about football. Kind of like Chiefs Planet.

Matt Cassel's high school football picture isn't much better...

This is my helmet, there are many like it, but this is mine...

SORRY but you are sooo ****ing wrong here. watch it again.

I just want Haley to open up the offense earlier in the game. Matt has done okay, in what his detractors call garbage time, when given the green light to go deep consistently. Try getting the run game going and let him throw the ball down the field.
