Nothing to see here.

Bowe said yesterday he understood why Haley had been riding him.
He responded. This is a non-issue.

Don't even bother, dude.

It's the polar opposite of Herm, therefore everyone loves it.

I think it's ****ing hilarious that people actually think that these type of threats actually motivate professional athletes. Like Bowe would have only had 20 yards receiving yesterday had Haley not threatened him.

The kid put up 100+ because he's ****ing talented, not because Todd Haley made some dumbass threat.

How in the world can you say it worked?

The coach is making childish threats in the middle of the damn game. Winning doesn't justify the coach acting like an irrational egomaniac.

The players on the Chiefs need to have a fire lite under their butts.

More likely, Haley said something to the effect of "If you don't want to take your job seriously out there then we'll find someone else to do it," and that filtered down to someone, who filtered it down to someone else, who filtered it down to the "league source", who by this point got the version of the story where Haley was dialing up Miami to trade him.

Or this "source" is from another AFC West team trying to get a rumor out there to knock down trade value if indeed the Chiefs were for whatever reason shopping the guy...

Why is everyone defending Bowe. This guy is known for dropping passes left and right if they hit him in the numbers or in the hands.

I know he is exciting to watch SOMETIMES, but honestly, its like watching a taller version of Johnny Morton.

If you're a WR, then catch the ball, otherwise get off the field.

Stop pissing on a win. Women have gotten pregnant, given birth, and started feeding the kid baby food since we last won a game.

JFC.

Allegedly...

This here.

How much has Haley been discussed here already, how he seems to coach like Parcells and Belichick? How many times have people said that football players don't need to be coddled and don't need a "players' coach"?

The problem with the Chiefs is a current lack of talent, and the fact that it will be a long painful process to correct the horrible cracked foundation laid by Carl and Herm. The problem with the Chiefs is not that Haley is a hard-ass. If Haley was warm and fuzzy, the Chiefs would be in even worse shape.

Haley is Lou Gossett. The Chiefs are the slimy-worm new recruits. Bowe and the rest have to decide if they're steers, or queers.

I like that 100+ isn't good enough, especially when 150 hits you in the hands.

Bullshit.

I have no coaching experience and I don't see them behind closed doors so it's hard for me to say. I will say that I think Haley felt that Cassel expected to walk into the starting job due to his big contract. I'm not sure Cassel is Haley's guy. I wouldn't be too surprised if he kept his options open for next year.

As for the conservative calls, that's probably just to keep Cassel from getting even more beat up than he does. My buddy works with Matt's sister. I guess she says he's in an ice bath pretty much all week trying to recover.

I think it's ****ing hilarious that you actually think that you know what does or doesn't motivate Bowe.

Interesting choice of analogies.

I've always liked 'em yellers. Shows some fire in the belly. **** those pussy millionaires.

The truth is, doomy closed this thread with response #2. Maybe everything is fine for now, but the long-term view would not be strong.

I highlighted your problem. You're assuming the Chiefs have professional athletes. More like the cast of "Stripes".

You take your foot off the pedal when the engine is humming. The time to be nice to them is AFTER they know what they're doing. Until then, they get the whip, and gruel.
