RE: D. Bowe...just overheard on sports radio:
From Mike (610) on the Late Show: The only reason there's any conversation about D. Bowe's past behavior....is because he's black. If he were white, there would be no talk about his past issues.
Where's the controversy? I didn't realize that this conversation was going on. Most all Chiefs' fans I know want him signed. I haven't heard much other than an occasional laugh at "the Clarks" comment. I know he showed up overweight one season and that the Peeholy Gestapo nixed "The Bowe Show". And we all got a laugh out of the "importing" comments. But I haven't heard any fans mention that stuff in ages. So who's having this conversation about Bowe being a knucklehead? Or is this more hyperbole/race baiting to generate listeners? |

Bowe is a not a smart guy. From the comment about "importing" to thanking "The Clarks" he's just not a real sharp knife in the drawer. Good player, just not real bright.

He's never gotten into trouble with the law. He doesn't seem to be a lockeroom cancer. He's not a dickhead, just maybe your typical ego-driven pro athelete. The worse thing he's done was get suspended by the league for taking a banned substance used for losing weight so he could get into playing shape. BFD

As long as he keeps ripping off 80 yard runs, I don't care if he's fully reeruned. |

For a WR, he doesn't do the "Me me me" act that so many guys pull. He doesn't rip on anybody. He's polite to the fans and media. Never been arrested. His "drug" thing was because he didn't know one of his supplements included a diuretic. Puts up solid production. Works hard. Appears to want to remain a Chief in spite of the endless stream of losses they've suffered. He once flexed at the camera... WHAT? HE ****ING FLEXED AT THE CAMERA

I'd say well over half of Kansas City's fans don't like Bowe. In their minds, he drops passes, which means he must not work hard. |

I'm not sure it's half. It is more than it should be. Sports radio and twitter especially seem to favor negative reactions, so I would expect it to come off unbalanced even if it isn't. I would be much more motivated to call end and let off steam about something than to call in and talk about how much I really like a certain player.

Yes, I have been a critic of his for years. I realize he is one of the best WRs the Chiefs have had but seriously fellas... the bar isn't set all that ****ing high. Yes, he should be extended and retained... no question. That said, I can think of numerous receivers I would exchange for Bowe without hesitation. |

It would be dumb not to sign him and let him retire with all the chiefs receiving records. |
