Would you want Tony Gonzalez to retire as a Chief?

He wanted out, ****'im.

You couldn't be any further from the truth. Met him several times post game and he was one of the few that went out of his way to sign autographs, shake hands, and briefly speak to individual fans. He's a class act in comparison to many who didn't give a flying **** about the people in the stands.

And a year with Geno would be freakin awesome.

Not my experience. I met him in a parking lot in Riverfalls, WI @ TC and he couldn't have been more rude! Totally blew me off and told me to get out of there.
I spent $140 on a jersey, drove 3 1/2 hours one way just to go up there and get his auto that year and in :30 seconds he tore me down.
Then in a bar late that night I got to here from this gorgeous, big chested blonde how he signed his cleats and gave them to her that night. Yea, he was a great guy.
I've gotten over it, except for when I read stuff like this, then old feelings come out. I try to remember all the great plays he made for the Chiefs and the good times me and my son had watching him cause he was my sons favorite player.
I have stopped trying to get auto's (in person anyways) since then and just leave that for the kids. It was pretty demeaning to have someone do that to me as a 40+ year old. Not going to put myself in that position again.

About the only person I’ve talked with that got his autograph was on this board and they basically had to plead with him to get it.

I’m calling .
I know several dozen people that ran into him post game and had the exact opposite experience. In fact he’s known as one of the few Chiefs that would refuse to sign autographs or even acknowledge the presence of fans.

Ya I bumped into him at Whole Foods a few years ago and my then 5 year old son tried saying hi. He wouldn't even acknowledge my son was talking to him. I understand the not wanting to be bugged in public places but he could have at least said sorry kiddo, not now.
