Eric Winston is Full of Shit

I can't help but find it absolutely amazing that people who were actually at the game could possibly disagree on whether Cassel's injury was cheered or not!
even if you were in close proximity to some folks that were cheering the injury, I wouldn't think it would have been to hard to decipher whether or not the rest of the crowd was doing likewise. and I have YET to see any video evidence that support the Chiefs crowd being dicks. every video I've seen, the cheering dies down just after the runner is tackled....only to pick up again when Cassel gets up. in one video after the cheering dies down you can hear one clown yell "get off the field". very douchesque. but just one dude.
the conflicting stories.....I don't get it.

The timing of the play was strange, thus the different opinions. Jamal busts a long play, crowd cheers. 25 yards behind that, Cassel had been knocked down but the play didn't look particularly vicious. Most fans' attention was on Charles down the field. It was 5-10 seconds after he was tackled that many realized Cassel was down. He started to get up, then went back down. There was a discernible "cheer" from a few when he went back down and just stayed there. I'm not the only one that heard it, as the group of people in my section actually discussed it.
