Since so many people are trashing Allen, I wonder what you all think of the column I wrote a few months ago:

For the eleventy-billionth time. The players union will not allow a player to put a clause like that in a contract. If they would it already would have happened, many times over. Putting a stipulation that a player not ride motorcycles is considerably different than a stipulation that he pay back a $35M signing bonus if he's busted/suspended again. Christ, Michael Vick is in ****ing PRISON. He got to keep his bonus. |

I think it's dead-on, and I've echoed those sentiments over the past three days. He's had one phenomenal season, one pretty good season, and two average/below average seasons. Yet he wants the biggest contract for a defensive player in the history of the league? No thanks. |

10/14/07 chiefs 27, bengals 20. allen does not single-handedly win the game as the chiefs offense actually shows up for a moment, but allen does have a monster game with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble, which would have led to a chiefs touchdown had larry johnson not fumbled at the one-yard-line. 10/21/07 chiefs 12, raiders 10. allen records as many sacks and tackles combined (12) as the chiefs record points. so, allen played a huge role in three out of their four wins last year alone. |

That was a very well written piece, GC.

I never said he sucks. What I did say, and what I've said for the last year or so is that he's not worth Dwight Freeney money, with or without a history of DWI's. |
