Exactly what I said. He was outspoken about how great the Falcons were, and the Chiefs could go suck A$$. Then when he took slack for it, tried walking it back, but real Chiefs fans understand he was great when he was a Chief, but he went to the Falcons, thinking he'd get a ring there. He didn't, so tough. Stay retired, stay a Falcon!

I had season tickets his whole career here. Loved watching him play. Did charity work for his charity. Was invited to his and October’s home in Westport several times. But, comment below is where I’m at now.

Kelce responded to the video with a LFG �� ��

Megatron96 04-21-2020 09:41 PM

All the 88 hate is hilarious. Guy balled out the entire time he was Chief, supposedly while hating being a Chief? Yeah, that makes sense. He almost single-handedly made the Chiefs relevant on the national stage while he was here.

And if he wasn't kidding and wanted to be a Chief again, and caught the game-winning TD in our next Super Bowl all these haters would be jumping on the TG88 bandwagon so fast they'd forget that they hate him . . .

Which is the point really. Can he still produce at a high level?

This season will be more of a crucible than any I've seen in the past, because the NFL won't have OTAs, training camp; the whole preseason probably will be shortened or eliminated. Teams with lots of veteran players and incumbent coaching staffs are going to have a huge advantage over teams loaded with young inexperienced talent/rookies.

Players with high football IQs are going to feast in 2020. A player like 88 will learn the playbook cold in three weeks. Find his chemistry with 15 in two or three weeks. Make opposing LBs look like idiots in two weeks.

Can his body take the punishment? I doubt it.

oldman 04-21-2020 10:18 PM

Sure, let's just go out there and snag a 44 year old that hasn't played a down since 2013. That'll assure us winning the next 10 SBs. While I thank TG for all the great memories, his pissy attitude toward KC is a sin that can never be forgiven.

Rasputin 04-21-2020 10:20 PM

Not only has the ship sailed but it docked on Lombardi Trophy Island.

suzzer99 04-21-2020 10:27 PM

I know a TV sports producer - I asked how much he thinks Tony G gets for saying like 100 words per Sunday including pregame. He said probably like $3-$4M per year. But they're grooming him to take over for Bradshaw as the lead guy so that will go up. Although I have no idea what "lead" means except you slide over a couple seats.

Anyway - he'd be an idiot to give that up.

Well, yeah, as I said in my first response, 'can his body take a NFL hit,' and 'does he have anything left in the tank as far as burst.'

Oh, and the very first thing I said was, "this can't be real. But for fun . . ."

R Clark 04-21-2020 10:44 PM

If y’all remember he left the Chiefs because herm benched him when he was short few yards of setting a record ( don’t remember what record) . He had brought a bunch of family in to see it happen . It is was a bullshit move on herms part, should have kicked him in the nuts for pulling it.

That struck me as ... well ... pitiful.

Maybe we could use Jason Dunn as a blocking tight end he was better at blocking than Tony G.

bobhill 04-22-2020 01:40 AM

Go back to Atlanta Toni

TimeForWasp 04-22-2020 04:37 AM

I heard Bill Belichick is trading himself to Tampa.

SAGA45 04-22-2020 05:54 AM

If this were legit, I could see Reid in a presser sayin:

"You kiddin? That's a Hall of Famer, man. In great shape...tremendous shape. He's serious about this thing. So we brought him in, worked him out...physical, drills...that sort of thing. And he looked good! He's here now with Kelce and those guys. Im excited! Let's roll!"

Mecca 04-22-2020 06:20 AM

It's funny and all, if he were serious he'd have to go through camp to prove he had something left...sure he'd love that.

A lot of us as fans were sick of the Chiefs during the period he was here, I don't really hold grudges for him wanting out at the end, especially when Pioli took over.

George Blanda (K/QB) was the oldest at 48.

Mile High Mania 04-22-2020 07:00 AM

I'd probably expect more production from Tony at this point than Gronk.

redfan 04-22-2020 07:26 AM

Nizzle, plizzle.

Mecca 04-22-2020 07:34 AM

Don't look now but Percy Harvin also wants to come back....

fan4ever 04-22-2020 01:11 PM

As you get older one of the first things to diminish is reflexes. He couldn't handle a juiced up Mahomes pass.

Uh, how many laser beams did Pat throw at Kelce in the RZ during the playoffs? I'm struggling to think of one . . .

Halfcan 04-22-2020 04:46 PM

The best TE in the NFL (Kelce) and the Best in NFL history (Gonzo) both lined up at the same time- surreal and unstoppable.

Bring him back as a coach, his time has passed as a player.!

Is this your clever way of saying that his HOF election was a crime?
