Priest on Metro Sports Live Now!

[Stewie]

Press Conference

[Direckshun]

Ever heard the same joke 15 times in a row?

[Stewie]

A brief overview. I missed the very start of the presser.

1) Will not put pads on for at least three weeks.
2) Glad to be back so he can provide leadership.
3) Will accept any role that will help the team to get deeper in the playoffs.
4) Will be working with strength coach so he can build a "base" that will get him back into football shape.
5) Said LJ is the workhorse and that's how it should be.

Overall, he sounded more like a player that will be a mentor/cheerleader with the hope that he will get on the field with a defined role. I think he realizes he won't be what he was before, but will do what it takes to help this team win.

It'll will be interesting to follow his progress.

Three weeks, huh? And a strength coach? I was thinking he was coming back because he was ready?

...Priest said he had dreamt of playing football again. he asked around at his church and determined that the dream was divine. that's why he is coming back.

...someone asked priest if he could take a hit. Priest laughed it off and recounted a strange story about a friend hitting him in the head with a baseball bat. (in HS) he said that was the worst hit ever and that he will get back up again.

[Direckshun]

I don't know how much leadership you can provide from your RV, genious.

I bet at this point, we won't see him on the roster until week 5 or 6. He was said to be a good two months away from being in prime football shape.

I've missed somthing somewhere. What's up with the RV thing? Link?

Although most of us like to joke around and have fun with threads, this is about what he said for the most part... Personally -- I don't see it happening... With that type of neck injury --- unless the doctors transplanted a whole new neck structure on him --- I just don't see him playing at all this year... I think he's a ploy by Carl to get LJ in camp... Sure --- I'd love to see him make a comeback -- but -- at the same time I don't want him to become a veggie after taking a shot around the head/neck area...

And everyone else is intitled to a different take on the situation...

Just in time to announce his retirement at the Chiefs first home game...

Idiot. Sure, it's 7 armies a turn, but you can't hold Asia!

No, but he is filled with righteous indignation. Righteous, I tell you!!

[Lzen]

Well that is interesting. I thought he was ready to go now. A couple months? It will be week 3 or 4 before he's in football shape?

[FAX]

Three weeks? Three weeks? Giant Toad tadpoles hatch in 48 to 72 hours and the female lays between 8,000 and 50,000 eggs in a clutch.

This is a travesty.

Thanks for the real info

[Direckshun]

I should clarify myself.

I am not going off what I heard on Metro Sports, as I am not in KC and can't get the channel.

But Joe Poz wrote an article on Priest earlier in the offseason, I think somewhere around May. In the article he mentions that doctors think Priest is a hard two months away from being in prime football condition.
