610 sports reporting...

[Hammock Parties]

That Larry Johnson is in Kansas City.

:hmmm:

[morphius]

That is good to hear, hopefully he will be here for a couple of days. Maybe that was why Carl was unavailable yesterday.

[Mr. Plow]

Did the last 2 preseason games scare Carl into getting the deal done?

[crazycoffey]

Print 'em!

[bkkcoh]

Did the last 2 preseason games scare Carl into getting the deal done?

I would say that is probably true. But it isn't a big surprise for anyone for LJ to be ready to go by opening day.

[Hootie]

I would say that is probably true. But it isn't a big surprise for anyone for LJ to be ready to go by opening day.
Exactly - was anyone actually worried?

[BigRock]

That is good to hear, hopefully he will be here for a couple of days. Maybe that was why Carl was unavailable yesterday.
That's what ESPN said in relation to the story about Priest not coming off the PUP list. That Carl wasn't there to weigh in on the decision because he was involved in LJ negotiations.

[KcMizzou]

I would say that is probably true. But it isn't a big surprise for anyone for LJ to be ready to go by opening day.Yeah, if something gets done in the next week or so, I'd say that's right on schedule.

I don't think the Chiefs minded a bit that LJ missed camp.

[Kylo Ren]

Did the last 2 preseason games scare Carl into getting the deal done? I would say that LJ and his agent have moved their demands much more than CP has moved his original offer. Tony G said that CP will "wait you out". He also said that CP is "very patient". The reports that I've heard are that the offer that the Chiefs have on the table now isn't too much different that the original offer.

[Hammock Parties]

CARL IS A CHEAP BASTARD

Yep.

[StcChief]

Decent upfront ($14-$18M) by heavy Incentive contract.

[siberian khatru]

Yeah, if something gets done in the next week or so, I'd say that's right on schedule.

I don't think the Chiefs minded a bit that LJ missed camp.

That's how I've viewed it the whole time. I actually haven't paid much attention to it (unlike the national media, who seemed to think it was dooming the Chiefs). I've just assumed neither side had a sense of urgency until now. If this week passes and nothing happens, I might start to get a little concerned.

But if he signs in the next day or two, it will pretty much confirm what I've thought.

[Troy1220]

He's using Priest's frequent flying miles.

That Larry Johnson is in Kansas City.

:hmmm:

According to Nick Athan on a local show here in DooDah this morning, LJ is NOT in KC, probably just his buddy blowing the cylinders of his Bentley for him.

[Deberg_1990]

That Larry Johnson is in Kansas City.

:hmmm:

Hes just visiting his "hoes"

[the Talking Can]

he heard Priest say that if LJ doesn't want the nachos Priest will take them....that was the final stra...err, chip...

[Hammock Parties]

That was like two weeks ago...Carl is freaking out over the horrible preseason running game. Fear is a great motivator.

[htismaqe]

Mitch said last week it would be today, but this morning he said "by the end of the week".

[Reerun_KC]

After catching up on Hard Knocks.... It is clearly evident that Carl is only concerned with winning now and being a sub .500 GM than he is about winning a superbowl...

Yep

[Hammock Parties]

Holy shit. Grunhard is practically reading my Croyle article on the air right now. I mean it's obvious.

[Hoover]

LJ signing this week has nothing to do with Priest or how poorly we ran the ball in the first 2 preseason games. Its all about timing.

[htismaqe]

Fortunately, when it comes to the QB decision at least, it appears that Carl will give the head coach the final say.

[Reerun_KC]

didnt appear that way to me... To me he looked scare and unsure of what the coach was wanting to do...

Kept saying "we want to play the QB that gives us the best chance to win now"

That line right there says all you need to say about the Chiefs and their lack of anything meaningful during Carls tenure...

[the Talking Can]

I never got the impression that LJ had any real plan to hold out during the season....I'd assume that if either party were scared that it wouldn't get wrapped up prior to the season that there would have been more public jousting, more leaks, etc...but that's just my hunch.

[the Talking Can]

oh, you mean it isn't really about nachos?

[the Talking Can]

Fear is a great motivator.

Beer is a great bloviator.

[Reerun_KC]

Fear is a great motivator.
Unless you are a complete chicken shit...

[Reerun_KC]

Beer is a great bloviator.
Rep worthy...

[Hammock Parties]

Queer is a great masturbator...

[Hammock Parties]

I wonder if there's any coincidence to the timing of Priest's inability to practice and LJ's potential signing...sure seems eerie.

[Pushead2]

He came to KC to check on his street cred

[Mr. Plow]

He's trying to stack his flow.

[patteeu]

The reports that I've heard are that the offer that the Chiefs have on the table now isn't too much different that the original offer.

The last report I read was that the Chiefs went from $14mil guaranteed to $19mil and LJ came down from $28mil to $23mil. If true, that's a $5mil move by both sides.

[crazycoffey]

oh, you mean it isn't really about nachos?


beer and nachoes, mmmmm - I'm hungry. is it lunch time yet?

[DenverChief]

The last report I read was that the Chiefs went from $14mil guaranteed to $19mil and LJ came down from $28mil to $23mil. If true, that's a $5mil move by both sides.


He will sign for $21.5

[BigRedChief]

I think King Carl will do whats best to put butts in the seats. The butts in the seats overwhelmingly want Croyle. Herm obviously wants Croyle. It's a win-won for the King. Croyle flops he says I was just giving my coach his guy. He's successful, he goes on ESPN and acts like King Carl and says told you so. Croyle gets the starting job.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

My sources say LJ is currently in a White Castle drive-thru in Raytown... film at 11.

[Eleazar]

The timing of his inability to practice? He hasn't practiced in 2 years.

[Eleazar]

Your source must be Nick Athan if your source reports there are still White Castles in KC ;)

[Hammock Parties]

The timing of his inability to practice? He hasn't practiced in 2 years.

Priest was supposed to be making a big push yesterday or the day before. It fell through.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Your source must be Nick "The Erroneous One" Athan if your source reports there are still White Castles in KC ;)
Ok I admit it.... I made it up. Can I get a job at WPI?

[BigRedChief]

After catching up on Hard Knocks.... It is clearly evident that Carl is only concerned with winning now and being a sub .500 GM than he is about winning a superbowl...I'm not buying this King Carl wants Huard so that he can put butts in the seats argument and is going to overrule Herm.

[keg in kc]

No great shock. I'd expect to see him at Arrowhead Thursday. That's Carl's general MO in situations like this one; it'll be the final sign that the deal's imminent.

[Eleazar]

I always expected him to sign before the third or fourth preseason game and not until.

It helps us to save wear on him, he doesn't want to go work through training camp in River Falls with everyone else. He signs in time for the season. Everybody wins.

[ChiefsDJ56]

LJ came to KC because he was not on Hard Knocks last week. He thought, "If they won't come to me, I will go to them." So currently he is playing Madden '08 with the HBO films guys.

[DaKCMan AP]

he heard Priest say that if LJ doesn't want the nachos Priest will take them....that was the final stra...err, chip...

mmmm...nachos

He's trying to be the "voice of reason" in his mind. In the end, he'll step aside and Herm will make the decision.

Carl has always given his coaches alot of power - one needs only look at the difference between the drafts under Mary, Vermeil, and now Herm.

The problem is that he's hiring coaches that share, at least in part, his mentality. Even Vermeil was overly loyal to veterans.

[Smed1065]

U can not convince a conspiracy.

[LOCOChief]

[QUOTE=htismaqe]Carl has always given his coaches alot of power - one needs only look at the difference between the drafts under Mary, Vermeil, and now Herm.

Maryball?

Three yards and dust on your skirt...

[KurtCobain]

And then what?

[Logical]

ROFL

How completely exciting LJ has been seen in KC.

[craneref]

My prediction from the beginning of training camp was that LJ would sign this week and went as far as picking NLT than 22 Aug. He will be standing on the sideline in street clothes watching the New Orleans game, smiling about how good it is to have a new contract and that he is in shape and ready to get to work. He will have a new contract and be rested.

[The Red Sea]

I heard he only said one thing before clamming up.

"Where the White woman at?"


Seriously I'm a tad relieved hes been spotted in KC!

[crazycoffey]

And then what?


stack it some mo

[Ebolapox]

Ok I admit it.... I made it up. Can I get a job at WPI?

heh, don't expect a dime over five hundy.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Monday Night Countdown said Carl went to Arizona on Saturday to meet with LJ to try and get something hammered out. They said hopefully by Wednesday.

[Smed1065]

That Larry Johnson is in Kansas City.

:hmmm:

Glad nick agreed.

[Smed1065]

Means he is!
