It would be disingenuous to say a receiver who left a game after two snaps played that game.

Completely so.

You could be onto something... Most youth leagues require 6-8 plays per half to constitute the parent's kid having "played", so depending on how you count, he could be 10-14 plays short of that definition. And the Chefs played like Pop Warner, so those rules might apply.

Yes, the ambulance chaser's interpretation of "played in the game", vs "played the game".

In my opinion, your language was vague.
"Watkins will play 15 games"
"He will not miss more than one"
"Our bet is for 14"

These things don't mean the same thing.

I'm convinced Sammy knew he wasn't going to play, but wanted to get an official start because 3 years down the line no one will remember he played 1 snap and left the game.

Did he get paid? Yes.

Did he get a game started and game played added to his stats? Yes.

Was he on the field, in pads, active during the game? Yes.

That's playing in a game, and it's totally ingenuous to say so. There was no prior agreement regarding missing X% of snaps = a game not played. I have no skin in the game, I'm just saying.

No dog in this fight.... I would not count him as playing in this game considering he was questionable coming in and only played a couple of snaps.

Counts as a game. It's bush-league to try and say otherwise.

He took the field and played in the game. This isn't hard. You see him on the sideline wearing sweats at the coin toss then you mark that one down.

I think that it's disengenious to count this as a missed game, but just as disingenuous to treat this as equal to a game he played in its entirety. That why I believe that if he misses a game in its entirety after this, he has satisfied the stipulation of missing "more than one game" , because he will have at that point missed an entire game (one game) + more.

Granted I'm the type of asshole that doesn't take being "technically correct" as an insult.

This counts as a game played.

If you and I ever took a single snap in an NFL game, you can bet your ass we'd refer to ourselves as NFL players.

If you played even a single snap, it's a game played. I just don't see where the room for argument is here.

And besides - it's elementary. It's Sammy !@#$ing Watkins we're talking about here. He's missing 3 complete games before all is said and done.

It's sad that this team sucks so much that we have to argue over the legal definition of a mother****er playing two snaps. Only at "Andy's Buffet of Sadness" does this talk happen every year in relation to a supposed super star.

But I guess that's what you get with a players coach instead of a coach that plays to win the game.

Chiefs are 4-1, second best record in the AFC, with three wins on the road. GloryDayz: “This team sucks!”

****ing clown.
