The NFL told Priest to stay off the sidelines and scarf nachos????

Huh,

Tim Grunhard just said there is a rumor floating around (thank you, Carl?) that the NFL TOLD Priest to stay off the sideline.

The decision to nacho or not was apparently independently made by Mr. Holmes.

WTF?

I think it was Halliburton behind this or maybe Enron.

Could be. You know that King Carl and Dick(head) Cheney are rather tight...

Figures!!!!!

Q: Yesterday during the game the television cameras showed Priest sitting in the box upstairs and not being with his team.

VERMEIL: “That where most of (the injured players) are.”

Q: I guess there’s been some criticism of that.

VERMEIL: “You know something: when you lose there’s criticism of everything. If they want to criticize Priest Holmes for sitting up in the box with the rest of the guys….they have a choice. The league prefers them not to be on the field. Everyone’s complaining that everybody has too many on the field and you are only allowed so many guys. Junior Siavii was also up there.”

Bull. Gannon was on the sidelines during SNF in the freakin snow. Grunhard is ranting about this right now.

I'd take Vermiel's word over yours any day. In fact, I'll take Vermiel's word over anyone's on this board any day as well.
This whole thing is hopelessly idiotic.

Seriously? Don't let that Titus guy read this or he'd hold your feet to the fire.

Surely you can't be serious. Have you seen a DV press conference? He lies and spins for 20 minutes and sits down. That is an undisputed, widely known fact. But you'd still trust DV's word over people you've known on this board for a long time. Boy, I sure hope you don't have relatives on this board or they might be offended as well.

I wouldn't take Vermeil's word over a skunk. That man has lied to us so many times in the 4 year VickieD Era.

And you're creaming your jeans. Anything that makes the Chiefs look bad is good in your eyes. Does it REALLY matter where Priest was during the game? He was inactive for Pete's sake. I'm more concerned with what we are going to do to fix the ON FIELD performance. You can go ahead and get all dreamy eyed anytime the media tries to tear this team down about trivial matters. Stupid b*tch...

Bull? how can it be "bull"? He didn't say they can't be on the sideline, he said the league prefers it.

Besides, QBs are almost always going to be there because they act almost as coaches when they aren't in the game. I'm not sure if this is an attempt to take something away from Priest or DV, or you're just using it to postulate on your ridiculous obsession with that has-been Gannon.

Grunhard was ranting about Amman Green. I'm just pointing out that other injured players were on the field the past weekend. There are actually WITNESSES to this apparent violation.

That's because Gannon perfers to choose to take the chances on being the field, even though the league said that it "perfers" (Note, it didn't say "required") that injured players should not be on the field.

Gannon had some balls for being on the field, however, what would had happened if a play was coming right towards the Raiders' bench, and say Gannon get knocked down because he either couldn't see the play was coming, or he was at a bad place at a bad time.

Keep the injured players in the box, where their chances of getting an injury is slim, compared to keeping them on the field, where they increase their chances of getting re-injured.

He's already on IR so I don't think it would have impacted him this season. Besides, he's there on request of Norv Turner who is using him as another set of eyes and to help 'coach.' Perhaps he's too valuable to lose to a pressbox and nachos.
