The myth of Bobby Sippio

One of the many negative aspects of last summer's visit to Chiefs camp of NFL Films and the Hard Knocks crew was that the show glorified a wide receiver of rather average talents by the name of Bobby Sippio.

I still receive regular e-mails from fans wondering why the Chiefs don't play Sippio more and why I don't write about him more. I get more questions about Sippio than about any other Chiefs player, a fact that is simply amazing considering that Dwayne Bowe, Larry Johnson, Brodie Croyle and dozens of other more interesting subjects play for this team.

So it was predictable that the hate mail would roll in today after I had the nerve to write a story in this morning's Kansas City Star detailing the contributions of some of the Chiefs' young receivers in the exhibition opener in Chicago. I wrote mainly about Maurice Price, Will Franklin and Jeff Webb.

Not a mention of Sippio. I even received a call yesterday afternoon from one of my editors wondering whether I had simply forgotten about Sippio and that he caught the winning TD. I'll pass along what I told him.

Price, Franklin and Webb did their work against Chicago starters or backups who will be with the Bears when the regular season begins. These three receivers also look like they will be playing for the Chiefs when the season starts.

Sippio did his work in the fourth quarter of a preseason game. That's the domain of guys who will be looking for jobs in another few weeks. It's a sign, Sippio fans, that your hero is going to have a tough time making the team. And he caught his three passes against players who will soon be ex-Bears.

That may not mean much to you, but I guarantee that it does to the Chiefs.

I talk regularly with Herm Edwards, offensive coordinator Chan Gailey and wide receivers coach Eric Price. None has been critical of Sippio, even off the record. But clearly they are more excited about Franklin and Price, mainly because of their speed.

Sippio isn't fast. It's why he was playing in the Arena League when he joined the Chiefs. It's why he doesn't get more playing opportunities.

I can't tell you today whether or not Sippio will make the team. My guess is that he won't. But one thing is becoming clear: the wide receivers who will play for the Chiefs when the season begins will come from this group: Bowe, Devard Darling, Franklin, Price and Webb. Not Bobby Sippio.

And that's something the billions of Bobby Sippio fans out there will just have to deal with.

News From The Future: Kansas City Star writer Adam Teicher was killed today when his brakes failed, causing his car to careen off a 50-foot cliff. Teicher actually survived the crash and exited the car, only to be hit by a meteor that had fallen from outer space. "It was almost as if he had tempted fate somehow," remarked an officer at the scene.

What? Bobby Sippio has never caught a pass in the NFL. That's because he sucks. Get your facts straight.

It's not his fault Baltimore's offense has been in shambles for years...

Correct, the return was for 6 yards.

No catches.

Does anyone have that sig I made last year proclaiming Sippio trash? I won a sig bet with some loser on here and he wore it for like a month. It was great.

B_Ambuehl · 08-09-2008, 04:25 PM

If Darling were worth a shit he'd still be in Baltimore. There are at least 2 guys like him on every roster in the NFL. Tall guys that can run. Whoopee. Hell, there are 3 or 4 of them on this roster alone. Excitement destorys receivers. They get in the game and get too excited and that destroys their hands, their moves, and their confidence. Sammy Parker was the posterboy for that. There are VERY few guys who can get in an NFL game and just go out and catch the f'in ball like it's no big deal. That has been the main problem for receivers 2 thru 5 on this roster for years and is 1 problem Sippio doesn't have.

You, of all people shouldn't disparage somebody who actually pays their lost bets.

Even SIPPIO!!! needs playing time. According to the rules, you can't win a game if you're not in the game.

Well if you would have read my other post you would know I've said twice thats 2 times in this thread alone I dont care if he makes the team or not(thats three for those of us that can count) What ive said is that darling has proven nothing except he can run fast, he is this years Huard, carl signed him therefor he will make the team even if he doesnt deserve it. Yea and by the way if you think 18 rec. is a good resume you clearly have an easier time with this front office then I do.

He's only like 6 foot, and he's more than just speed. He's tough and has shown good hands.

Darling > Sippio

Forever and ever. Amen.

Loser? I lost my bet and paid up, because I'm a man. Until you can do that you will remain a giant vagina.

Sure-Oz · 08-09-2008, 04:30 PM

I hope Darling can be the #2 guy, id love to have Franklin at #3 with his speed as well

Heh, you were a loser in the sense you lost the bet. That's all.

By the way, I've paid up on every bet I've ever made on Chiefsplanet.

Don't suppose you saved the image...

No i didnt save it I had forgot about it and didnt post for a while so i still had it untill about a week ago. I think a few people would disagree with your other statement.

Hammock Parties · 08-09-2008, 04:38 PM

That's OK. They're wrong.

Just to piss off Sippio lovers I won't record any of his highlights this year.

Actually they wanted and tried to keep him, but there was nothing they could do because he was a free agent. He knew he was good enough to be a starter, and thats why he left. He didn't play as much as Webb or Parker did last year, but when he got his chance he broke out and put up much better numbers than our WR's outside Bowe. Oh and hes also showing hes better than our other WR's in practice. He wasn't wasn't on the field very long in his one pre season game here.

Claythan... you should realize that Bobby Sippio's success = a happy D. Bowe.
