Priest Holmes May Retire
 

Don't know if anyone seen this. Bad news.



News
KSHB NBC TV in Kansas City is reporting that Priest Holmes has "very possibly" played his final game in a Chiefs uniform and could announce his retirement from the NFL as soon as Thursday. According to the report, further examinations revealed a lump on his spine that could lead to paralysis if he continued to play. The Chiefs have not officially confirmed the report and, as of Tuesday, were awaiting the results of a third evaluation in Miami.

If this diagnosis is indeed true, it would not surprise us at all to hear that Holmes is hanging them up. He admitted publicly to considering retirement around the same time Ricky Williams walked out of the Dolphins locker room. If Holmes indeed calls it a career, Larry Johnson immediately becomes a top-five fantasy running back.

:shake: :spock:

Really, hadn't heard that yet

Thank you, Mr. Cronkite.

I second that.

Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!

One quick glance at the board......hmm, no news on Priest.

I'M A FN SLEUTH!

Quick, I must post the news.

Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Oh! The humanity!!

Hell it is not like there are 3 or 4 other threads about this boy wonder.

Welcome to the Planet, BTW.

Are people really this stupid? This is a regular poster just trying to get a few laughs, right?

Hey n00b, what these guys are referring to(in case you haven't already figured it out) is that this news has already been posted. See this thread.

In the future, it wouldn't hurt to check the front page to see if something has already been posted/reported. ;)

BTW, welcome to Chiefplanet. :)

Here's the official news on Priest Holmes.

The Chiefs have worked out an agreement that will send Holmes to Philadelphia at the end of the season, in exchange for Terrel Owens.

The teams will only accept the players' current contracts, and both players have agreed to honor their existing contracts. As part of that arrangement, the Chiefs will owe Owens a $7 million bonus in 2006, and are treating that as a "signing bonus"

I believe the organization fed me false information about the retirement of Holmes to throw me off and because certain members of the front office have a bone to pick with me. This was an amateur attempt to embarrass me and tarnish my professional image.

Tune in to 41 at noon for the full story.

Thanks

I dunno, the "PA" in his handle made me twitch a second, though.

I think it's safe to say, after his initial welcome, he may never come back. :)

I hope you are a reg. who is just messing around. If not, welcome to the Planet, and don't be such a bonehead next time;)

My bad. Will check more next time.

Don't mind them, they're a cranky bunch. Welcome to the planet.

If this is true, there is a bright side to the whole thing: that knock he took led to the tests which discoverd the lump on his spine. Things could have been worse if he was hit in that area without knowing about the problem.

He gets to walk away from the game in good shape. Hope it's not true but it could have ended worse.

Where in PA you from? Harrsiburg here.

ROFL Funny chit man.

York.

I must admit, I did think that I had the scoop!

ROFL

ok, that might be the funniest thing yet on this thread.

Damn you!! Turn on your rep so we can neg rep bomb you.
:cuss:

Its good to be here. I have been hanging around for awhile, and thought that with this BREAKING NEWS, now would be a good time to post. Bad call!!!! But the razzing is all good.

ChiefsfaninPA is no Jack Harry.

I posted a dupe thread with my 3rd post and they members went to town on it making fun of the n00b. Part of the ritual of becoming a non-n00b. :hmmm:

I have you beat.

Now that you have 7 posts and are not a n00b you can handle the truth..............according to Skip that unless you were on this board prior to 2003 you will always be a n00b.

We were what..........9-0 when you jumped on the wagon?

Hey I just got an internet then. Mere concidence.

You don't happen to work for a radio station in York, do you?

No I do not work for a radio station.

You know rich? Hell, anyway, he does a morning show there somewhere and is a huge Chiefs fan. My dad lives in Lancaster, pretty up there

Nope don't know Rich. I live in York and work in Lancaster.

Welcome to the Planet, FTR, we have many smartass's here, have your sarcasm meter on when posting and always look for multiple threads of the same topic.

Why is everyone being so nice to the n00b?

Skip, do your job, dammit!

I have noticed. But it feels good to be surrounded by Chiefs fans. In Pa. it is either the Steelers, Eagles or Ravens. God bless Directv!

No problem,are members are young and old. Here's a couple of our Sr. citizens....... Vlad and Skip.
