I went to the Chiefs kick off luncheon today at the Hyatt Regency. This is my second year going, the last time was Vermiel's last season. I knew most players on the roster back then, today it was hard to pick out anybody other than the veteran players everybody knows.
I met Herm and shook his hand and got a picture. I have to say he is a truly nice guy. That doesn't mean I won't be screaming about him by week 2.
We sat at a table with Jackie Battle, another good guy. He told us that right after they introduced the players BArth and Novak left the luncheon (Feely was not there) to go kick and the results were going to determine who got cut today. I thought that was interesting. While we were eating lunch 2 guys were kicking hoping to keep a job.
Brad Cottam is one tall dude. I asked if he was playing this week and he said he didn't know yet he was going to talk to the Dr after the lunch.
Sippio was getting major love from fans, too bad he won't be on the team in 7 days. He pratically got mobbed. I was suprised that he looked much bigger than Bowe.
Croyle just doesn't look like a NFL QB. I am rooting for him don't get me wrong but if you saw him on the street you would never guess he was a NFL QB. He was pretty casual with everyone though, he spent a lot of time signing autographs and taking pics. Gonzalez left so fast he was almost a blurr.
Not a lot more to say, they had a 2:30 practice which sucked because the players didn't hang around long.
If you ever have a chance to go to one of these, I recommend it. It's a good time.
