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 game 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.

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.
