Priest can do it, he can come back get in football shape during training camp and move on he will by mid-season be in the top 5 of running backs. Trade Larry and move on without the team headaches.
Let him go to New York and play with his PDA, Larry will never have the career stats that Priest has put up.http://www.chiefswarroom.net/kcwarroom/images/PriestHolmes2.jpg

Wishful thinking.

[Direckshun]

You are adorable.

[KcMizzou]

I love Priest, but you're nuts.

[Sure-Oz]

There should be team priest nacho stands everywhere

[Abba-Dabba]

You want to trade away a almost 28yr old RB that has had no major injuries and replace him with a almost 34yr old RB that has a history of major injuries?

I think we should fire Carl and promote you to GM right now.

[Archie Bunker]

:shake:

[penchief]

I've got to admit. I've heard these references to nachos ever since they started but I never thought it was import enough to ask what the heck it was all about. But it keeps coming up so I have to ask......what's up with Priest Holmes and all the references to nachos.

[Hammock Parties]

what's up with Priest Holmes and all the references to nachos.

In 2004 when he got hurt and was basically done for the year...one TV camera captured him in the Chiefs press box munching on nachos during a game.

[KcMizzou]

There was a minor fuss over the fact that when Priest was injured , he watched games from the press box eating nachos, rather than on the sidelines with his teammates.

[Brock]

we need both of these guys.

[Bugeater]

Let's not get carried away.

[shyguyms]

we will not pay Larry Johnson Ladian Tomlinson money, he is a cancer to the team. Noone on this team likes him, Priest is the man again in KC

[Demonpenz]

Shields, roaf, and green going to miami tells me that they wanted to get as far away from larry as possible

[DaKCMan AP]

Your and idiot.

This thread is teh ghey.

[kcchiefsus]

Then it is going to be fun winning 3 games this year without LJ.

The one strength on this team, runningback, will go from being a strength to being one of the weakest groups of runningbacks in the NFL.

[Brock]

Wake up, Holmes is 33. He'll be a damn good goal line and 3rd down back, but that's pretty much it.

[Bearcat]

Larry will never have the career stats that Priest has put up.

I'm bored.. could you please entertain me and elaborate? :spock:

[shyguyms]

Larry is nothing but a trouble maker.
Why would anyone want to be his teammate?
i have never heard one chiefs player say anything good about him. Shields said if larry stayed he would retire and he has. Trade Larry now play Priest and Bennett and maybe Shields returns.

[kcxiv]

Well, i got a good laugh reading comments in this thread.

[Sure-Oz]

ROFL

[Brock]

The way Shields was playing, it was time for him to retire anyway.

Forget about it, Johnson is here to stay.

[shyguyms]

you guys must of never played the game of football in your life or you have been in a fantasy orgy with Larry Johnson. He is a average back at best and 4 years from now will not be in the league.
Priest at 45 is better than scary Larry

[shyguyms]

state college police let him slide a few times or the idiot would not be in kc causing all these problems.

[shyguyms]

he is the biggest racist in football history

[Brock]

I misunderestimated your stupidity. I'm out.

[KcMizzou]

LMAO

Wow.

[Hootie]

HOLD ON!

Did he just say 'Scary Larry'!?

Uhm, that's MY FRIGGIN' NICKNAME for him...

The origin of 'Scary Larry Johnson'...

The game, Madden 2005...

Hootie and his friend have a tradition: Close their eyes and randomly select a team to start a franchise with and do a fantasy draft. Every year, only two players are always on our team: Michael Boulware and Ken "Hammerin' Hamelin (a nickname first dubbed by Hootie himself, and then stolen by Chris Berman)...This year we were the Steelers.

Anyways, in the fifth round we selected Larry Johnson. At this time, he was simply Larry Johnson, or LJ...

As we started playing games and making nasty user picks with Hamelin and Boulware, Hootie himself was in charge of running the ball with Larry Johnson.

Did he turn in a season...about midway through the year, LJ was SO effective TERRORIZING defenses, we started chanting "Scary Larry" everytime he touched the ball. It was fitting...the dude was simply SCARY! As we kept winning, he kept improving in rating, and he simply got far too scary.

THE EVOLUTION OF SCARY LARRY:

As he became too scary, we decided to thug him out and went black and started referring to him as Scurry Lurry. Oh wow, what a great name.

Scurrrrrrrrrrrrry! Can be heard chanted by Madden fans all over central Illinois as Hootie himself, once rated #4 in all of the nation in Madden, would scream Scurrrrrrrrrrrrrry! really loud at madden tournaments when he spelled Holmes to get LJ all of the TD's...

In fact, Scary Larry has become so popular in Illinois he has his own facebook group, started by Hootie himself, consisting of mostly black 18 year old high school students from the Kansas City Area.

As the Scurriness continued, the Scury Lurry name simply wasn't working out so now he is simply referred to as, "Scur."

Scur has taken over message board after message board in the Madden community, and ok I'm done with this story I have no idea where this is going.

HOOTIE OUT

[RedThat]

We need Willie Roaf back!

Thats the bottomline.

We need Priest Holmes attitude inside Willie Roafs head.

But yeah, as for Priest, props to the guy! I love him! Love him to death!
The guys got so much heart.

I have his jerseys in my closets, and Im thinking of tearing off the "olmes" of the back of the jersey, and replacing it with "eart".

[Micjones]

Wake up, Holmes is 33. He'll be a damn good goal line and 3rd down back, but that's pretty much it.

Holmes is 33, but there's not as much tread on his tires as the normal 33-year old runningback.

Can he be a Herman Edwards workhorse? I doubt that seriously, but I think he could be surprisingly productive with other backs in house to spell him.

[Mr. Laz]

IF ......... i repeat with a big IF ........ priest Holmes comes back and can be handling the full load by the end of training camp then we might just consider trading LJ and moving on.

more likely this is Carl and Priest reaching an agreement.


Priest comes back and helps the Chiefs leverage LJ and then the Chiefs agree not to go after Priest's signing bonus money when he retires before the beginning of this season.

[Sure-Oz]

Just hope he can still fly on screen passes

[The Bad Guy]

**** Priest.

The guy hasn't played in almost 2 years. He suddenly shows up after avoiding the team for the last 2 years, and the fans should roll out the red carpet for him?

Bullshit.

Here's also another memo. This isn't the same offense. This line isn't the same, and Priest likely isn't the same.

I think the people that are super jacked that Priest is back on the field are going to be majorly dissapointed come September.

[RedThat]

I'll bet Priest Holmes comes back, and will still be effective. Because you can never count him out.

If this was poker, I will bet in to say he is going to come back and be a good compliment to Larry Johnson.

[Hootie]

Dude, you guys are all in for a HUGE reality check.

Priest won't see the field. He probably will spend the year on the PUP or get released. He's old. He wasn't any good before the neck injury...he was terrible in 2005. Awful. Atrocious. Ridiculously bad.

He's not any younger, he probably hasn't been staying in pristine football shape...his playing days are over.

I don't know what he's trying to prove. He's done. Old. He's not even 1/2 the back Michael Bennett is.

If he gets 20 carries this year, I'll never post again.

[Hootie]

I'll bet Priest Holmes comes back, and will still be effective. Because you can never count him out.

I hope you don't play poker professionally...

[JazzzLovr]

I'll be counting.

[Hootie]

I'll be counting.
and if he doesn't get to 20, you have to perform fellatio on GoChiefs.

Deal?

[Crashride]

or we can keep lj and priest and dominate people...

What?!?

What are talking about?!?!?

You can't say F Priest! How dare you! The guy is my frikkn hero.

I hope Priest proves you wrong as he has doubted many in the past.

You gotta love the heart that this guy is displaying badguy, how can you not love it? he is showing that he is not a quitter. He has been away for 2 years fine, but, Im sure a lot athletes would take time off after the type of injury that Priest sustained. Especially if there playing the running back position, and even after taking a hit from Merriman too.

But in all honesty, to Priests credibility, he is very smart about the way he handled the whole situation with his injury and the team. You're a RB, and you're not gonna come back and play right away espcially after you sustain a spinal contusion injury. And just knowing that the RB position is the most injury prone position, given that and his age, he did the right thing by being away from the team. And I credit the KCCHIEFS for leaving the door open for him.

I think as long as Priest Holmes is in shape come this training camp around, it shouldn't be a problem for him come September to play again.

ROFL ROFL ROFL I bluff your ass out :p

[Hootie]

Yeah, oh man, Priest is a hero!!!! Doesn't support his team or do shit for two years, collects his paychecks, doesn't tell anyone his intentions, the Chiefs spend a draft pick on a RB, but yeah, what a classy guy!!! What a team player! YAY!

I'LL SAY IT TOO...

**** PRIEST.

[Deberg_1990]

I can't believe Priest is still such an icon around here...

Dude sold out his entire team. He's a prick. How people embrace him, still, is totally ridiculous.

He had a good three year stretch. Whoopdeedoo. Thanks for fumbling in the playoffs, Priest.

[Hootie]

Not only no, but HELL no.
I'll be counting.

[RedThat]

You guys suck.

Priest rocks. Will have a better attitude than LJ ever will.

Ever heard of a leave of absence where your employer supports you?The KCCHIEFS supported Priest.

Do you want him to be with the team or participate in contact drills after a neck injury? :rolleyes:

*YAY! Lets go to work, why not? I broke my frikk'n neck. Ahh what the heck eh? But if I don't go, I'll be an asshole for collecting paychecks, yeah that makes sense too.

[Frazod]

Love the heart? Seriously? Priest loves his pocketbook, which is the only reason he is coming back.

I would have loved if he actually showed up for the last year and a half instead of being all secret-agent man-esque. How can you ever do right by being away from the team? Football is a team sport where you build relationships. It seemed all Priest ever wanted to do was have his own agenda, pimp TeamPriest and keep a low profile.

I have no doubts that Priest will be in shape. I have my doubts that the guy is going to do shit on the football field again.

[Hootie]

[KCBOSS1]

OK, so I like Priest....my boys have the fathead. But, he seemed to have lost a step a few years ago. He just wasn't making the red zone stuff that he was the previous year. Except in the Philly game where he was dominating the whole first half and we decided to change the game plan at half.

I would never count him out. I really don't think this is the best thing for the Chiefs. I think Bennet needs more carries and LJ needs resigning. But if our offensive line doesn't improve huge, LJ, Priest, Brodie, Damon, Boomer.....all doomed...doomed I tell ya.

[The Bad Guy]

You guys suck.

Priest rocks. Will have a better attitude than LJ ever will.

[Hootie]

The fact that you live in Chicago really makes this creepy. :spock:
I know, that's why I said it...

[KCBOSS1]

As far as LJ is concerned.....I'm convinced he doesn't want to be here. I think he developed a bad attitude about KC in the beginning and no matter how he is showered with praises, he would prefer leaving. His attitude is like, "Pay me enough to make me happy or release me." This Priest thing might be a good card to hold if he is holding out.

[Frazod]

Heh. I hadn't planned on it, but I'm willing to consider suggestions. ;)

i have never heard one chiefs player say anything good about him. Shields said if larry stayed he would retire and he has. Trade Larry now play Priest and Bennett and maybe Shields returns.

Go **** yourself you lying teampriest ass licker.

Will Shields never said that. Will Shields could hardly walk the last few years, his play declined and he went out on his own terms.

Why would anyone want to be Priest's teammate? He decided to stay away from them for a year and a half.

[booger]

If we trade LJ Priest would be a welcome addittion to the current crop. I sure wouldn't expect him to jump back in and be the same old priest though. I'm in the 3rd down and goaline back crowd.

Just throwing this out there as well: If we trade LJ to the Packers how about this.

LJ and Samie Parker for WR Greg Jennings and a first rounder. Favre would go nuts if they traded the up an coming 2nd year WR, but LJ and a new WR in parker would help his frustrations.

Good idea. We need to play for draft picks anyways. Larry cost too much and Priest has raped us the last 2 years. I love the Priest as much as anybody but he is milking the Chiefs at this point.Actually your assesment of LJ is assinine.

I want him around the team showing support. That's what I want. The Chiefs kept paying him for the last year and a half while he was living his life.

You don't have to play on the field to support your teammates.

Priest has a ME attitude. Why is he any different than LJ?

Why hasn't he been around for the past couple of years. He's been a part of this team and he's been collecting paychecks. So where has he been? Some loyalty.

My guess is that he just wants to get some face time on HBO. It's probably another career move. Oh, and he gets to come back and be the star while LJ's holding out. That seems appropriate since he was willing to keep a starting job that he didn't deserve while LJ was outperforming him by a wide margin.

It just seems like more of the same to me. I hope I'm wrong. I hope Priest comes back and embraces LJ and decides to be a team player. But somehow I think Priest is in this for himself.

Which makes him 100% exactly like LJ.

[penchief]

Which makes him 100% exactly like LJ.

I'm not busting on Priest to defend LJ. I've listened to all the negative LJ talk and I think most of those who express it are biased because they are usually the ones who tout Priest's teammanship and his loyalty to prove their point.

I'm just expressing how I see the picture. Granted, they both want a paycheck. The difference to me is that LJ has been here, has worked hard, and has overcome adversity to prove himself. Priest has not been here, has been doing his own thing without any regard for his team or teammates, and has continued to collect a paycheck without contributing a damn thing to this team (not even his SUPPORT, the one thing he could easily have given just by being present).

[Frankie]

I'm not gonna read 91 posts here, but I would safely bet that the author of this thread got slammed in the majority of them. But in principal I totally agree with his suggestion. At this point of the Chiefs life they can put multiple high draft choices to a lot better use than a star RB while rebuilding. (Not suggesting a garage sale price for LJ in a trade though)

[Easy 6]

Shirley you cant be serious.
