Some strong words here which many Chiefs fans are going to agree with, I do feel like he's glossing over his time in KC, the broadcast last night was extremely Falcon centric (which makes sense, they were playing in the game but still).

I don’t really care what he thinks about his time in KC. He was my favorite player growing up and nothing he says changes what he did here.

I’ll continue to celebrate what he did on the field and not give a shit about what he thinks.

Yea, kind of a shame he has just sort of brushed KC aside.

I can obviously see where he would be pissed at Pioli, but he owes a lot to the Chiefs. Specifically the Hunts, Carl, Marty and Vermeil.

I’ll be waiting for him to mention them in his induction speech.

If he would have not played for the Falcons he would never even known the feeling of a winning a playoff game.

Meh. He won't care unless someone in KC complains or calls him put publicly like Trent and says he was never truly a icon of KC because he thought he was better.
Then he will rebuttal.

If he doesnt mention them but mentions anyone from Atlanta he will go down to most people outside of Atlanta as a trash human being.
I think he fixes his mistake of dismissing his time in KC

I don't care about his HoF because he doesn't give a shit about us fans that cheered him on, gushed over him, bought his jerseys and supported his bitch ass all those years.

I've barely paid attention at all to him and haven't watched anything concerning his HoF induction. Not on purpose, mind you. I just genuinely lost respect for him and am simply not interested. He's not a Chief to me.

That bitch ain't loyal.

Apathetic is the right word. Which is a shame because this SHOULD be a moment for Chiefs fans to enjoy.

Yet when you look around, clearly Chiefs fans don't give a shit.

Most players aren't loyal to anything other than their paychecks.

However usually after careers end they show respect to the organizations they played for so this whole thing is weird. Almost seems like Tony has a problem with the Chiefs in general.

He's always kind of been a douche. I remember when he got busted on a hot mic whining about having to rub shoulders with the little people. However, a lot of them are probably like that.

That being said, his leaving really had no impact on an awful team, I don't blame him for wanting to leave under the circumstances, and he didn't fuck us by going to a division rival.

Don't hate him. Don't love him. He's just kind of there.

“An enshrinee, however, is not asked to “declare,” nor does the Hall of Fame “choose” a team under which a new member is enshrined. When elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an individual is recognized for accomplishments as a player, coach, or contributor.”

I've wondered why this wasn't a discussion with 2 Chiefs going into the hall.

88 was a great Chief, but kind of pissed me off with his comments when he left. The message from fans who met him was usually that he was a prick in person.

I guess I'm glad for him because he was fun to watch, but it's really weird how indifferent I am to him making the hall. We knew it would happen and he deserves it due to his play, but I don't know how he can possibly discount his KC time the way he does.

So why were the Falcons selected for the HOF Game? The only player they got was Tony. Five years of Tony.

That's what's puzzling to me. The Chiefs had Tony for most of his career and Robinson for all of his career. And they even farted out two shitty years of Ty Law.

I kinda understand the Donks and Bowlen and putting them in the HOF game. Sorta. And you can't put a divisional game in the HOF Game, that would just be weird. But why Atlanta? Put in the Ravens with Reed, or Dallas with Brandt.

The Falcons... that's just weird.

Im not speaking on an individuals feelings they keep to themselves, but instead what they put out there in the media and in the open. Kinda like Steven Nelson taking jabs when he left.

Tony G makes it obvious that he wants to distance himself from KC. And he has a far less than stellar track record with the fans.

And in the case of Terrell Davis, you can be a winner on a team of cheaters for 3 seasons, then get injured and the NFL will still put you in the HOF even though you never held any records or demonstrated long term success or contributions to the NFL during your career.

It's such fucking bullshit that he's in the HOF. By doing that, the NFL now has to put in practically EVERY RB with a similar resume.

Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander, Chris Johnson, Arian Foster... ya'll come on down. You're in the HOF!

He was such a big, integral part of the 90's-early 2K's teams. For awhile he was the only player noteworthy on the team and yet, Chiefs fans dont really seem to care. Yeah, you'd think there would be a more resounding ovation but the dude was a dick to fans, and then continued being a dick to KC after he left.

Except it's not unquestionable.. NFL followers bring up Antonio Gates all the time.

Tony is 2nd all time in career receptions and yards. For ALL players. Not just tight ends. Rice is #1 in receptions and yards. Followed by Tony after that.

And he did that AS A TIGHT END.

Gates is 17th on that list. And he's 400 receptions and 4000 yards shy of what Tony accomplished. Yes, he's got 5 more TDs. But is that the hallmark of the best receivers? Aren't you kind of at the mercy of who throws you the ball?

The only argument I can really see people making is that Gates played 34 fewer games than Tony, but then you're quibbling over the issue of time spent in the league, where, "Well, this guy would be in the HOF if he didn't get his career cut short by injury, yadda yadda..."

I don't think there's really a comparison. It's Tony, not Antonio.

Just to play devil's advocate namely since I do think he's the best 'modern' NFL tight end in spite of how much I think no self-respecting Chiefs fan should give a shit about the guy, you can explain his production largely as a product of being part of a franchise that was running-oriented for most of his tenure, staffed with mediocre at best QB and other receiving threats (with the Vermeil era being the exception to the latter two factors.)

You could argue Gates had played with better passing QBs along with relatively superior pass catching threats that potentially leeched targets from him.

I guess if he will never come back to KC and doesn't want to be a part of the franchise, it doesn't much matter to him.

He was just back here being inducted into the Ring of Honor- which by his own words was very exciting to him. It sucks that he left, but he wanted to win, not just pad his stats.

Tony was the best TE I've ever seen, period. And he was unquestionably the best Chief during a period when there weren't a lot of Chief players to be excited about. He may have single-handedly won/nearly won countless games for us, and at times was the sole pin-point of light for this fan as far as the Chiefs were concerned.

And I can't fault him for wanting to leave after a decade of playing his ass off for mediocre Chiefs teams for a chance at a ring. In fact, at the time I was happy for him; I felt he deserved a shot at a SB after toiling for a sub-standard Chiefs team all those years. And I felt for him when he ultimately didn't get one.

Tony detested Carl Peterson, and that's why he's distancing himself from the franchise for that reason. It's been documented that during his final year with the Chiefs Peterson balked on a trade deal that would've sent Gonzalez to another team.

Good for him. The guy was a legendary player for the Chiefs. None of you guys would be any more gracious or appreciative or loyal if you had been in his shoes.

It’s just a shame we didn’t utilize him more effectively and were mired in futility. I still cringe about his being shoved out of the end zone in the Broncos ‘98 game.

For him to have the records he has we utilized him very effectively. We were mired in futility. I think he would feel much differently if he would have won a playoff game or two while with the Chiefs.

I feel the same way. It sure was fun to watch him dunk over the crossbar when he was wearing red and gold.



As far as him being a prick or arrogant, have you ever met George Brett in public when he wasn't getting paid? If not, save yourself the time.Brett is the biggest prick ever. Even when he was playing. He is one of the reasons why the saying "Never meet your heroes" is so accurate.

I don’t blame Tony for wanting out when he did. I think all of us would have done the same in his shoes, but the disrespect is embarrassing on his part.

You became a legend as a Chief and we for damn sure paid you top money. Idk what his deal is, but his playing time is over.

If you want to celebrate 1 playoff win with a franchise that has zero championships, be my guest.

I find it really hard to care at this point

plus one....

Tony giving props to the Chiefs fans.

Gave props to all the right people. The Hunts, Marty and Carl, Gunther, Vermeil. Even Jimmy Raye and Herman Edwards.

Said 1998 was the worst year of his career.

I was always a Griffey fan growing up. Even though he was eventually traded to the Reds he always and will be a Mariner. When I place TG it that same statute it just doesn’t fit. He torched this bridge. Adios

I'm pretty apathetic to him. He was a great player and deserves to be in the hof, other than that, I couldn't care less about him

Apathetic is the right word. Which is a shame because this SHOULD be a moment for Chiefs fans to enjoy.

Yet when you look around, clearly Chiefs fans don't give a shit.

That's his fault.

Apathetic is the perfect word. I couldn't care any less about the man. Phenomenal football player, no doubt, but fuck him.

Honestly, I think everyone should watch this. It speaks a lot about who he is and why. I've always admired his playing, and I loved him as a Chief. I understood why he left and I hated it, but it is what it is. He gives good props to Chiefs fans, and this speech is really good. FWIW.
