Tony Gonzalez
That's it for Tony G. Hate to see it, but he's going out on top, no slip in his game at all. Best TE ever. Get out before you take one too many blows to the head, or get your ACL shredded. I don't recall him ever having a really bad injury, which is pretty rare. He's a class act, he's bound to wind up in broadcasting if that's what he wants. He seems like a natural for it. At least he got a playoff win.
I still can't believe we blew a ****ing 28 point lead in 2nd half. |

He's a warrior. Always had a great attitude. Never threw fits on the sidelines. Best TE to ever play the game.

I just hope he takes over Twannon Twarps job.
It's pretty bad though that he only has one playoff winning game under his belt and all those records he holds at TE. I bet he would trade some of those for a championship. |

Met him once, humble as hell. That can be tough when you're the best ever.

You must have caught him on a good day because that wasn't my experience or the other half dozen or so people I know that have met him.

All the other players and coaches would mingle and sign autographs if requested and were just generally friendly. Gonzalez was never talkative or friendly. |

In any case, he is a first ballot HOF'er and can easily be the best TE in NFL history. Certainly the best when talking about playing at a high level over time. Dude can STILL ball better than all but a handful of TE's. He is 2nd ALL TIME in receptions, only behind Rice, and he's not even a WR, and THAT says something. I remember watching the '96 draft and Dallas being all set to draft him when KC traded to jump ahead of Dallas to draft him. Its the best draft move that King Carl ever made. KC gets T.G. and Dallas had to settle for a TE named David LaFlour. David WHO??? Exactly! LOL!

The first year or two I wondered what everyone else seemed to think of him. I wasn't sure he was any better than Cash at that point. Proved me wrong!

Not in the beginning of his career he really worked on that part of his game with apt intentions.
