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.

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.
