When he got drafted by the Chiefs, he looked at me and said, I will give my all to the Chiefs. And he has. He has had some tough breaks. But i know in my heart that he will be successful in the NFL because one thing I know is that I didn't raise a quitter. My son is a wonderful person and when I see so called fans saying they are glad he is hurt or they wish he would off himself, I have to wonder how these people where raised. God bless you all. I know he has disappointed some of you and there are others that hate him but so be it. Do any of you have sons that wanted to play professional sports and didn't make it? Well my son did. God bless you all and GO Chiefs!

Sorry Mom. I'm sure your son is swell and bought you a lot of pretties with his NFL salary. I've paid too much hard earned money over the years to pay your son's salary. We can't have a playoff game snatched from us by the zebras because a second string DB couldn't learn to turn his head around on an end zone fade pattern. 23 had a target on his back every time he stepped on the field. Ask William Bartee what happens to an NFL corner who can't learn to turn around and defend a pass. They wind up an Ex-NFL corner in a big hurry. I'm sure he'll have a lucrative career in Cleveland or Chicago or somewhere like that where losing is endemic. Can't have it here. Just can't have it.

Players come and go. The searing pain of playoff losses remain. Mom, may I suggest if your looking for affirmations, go try a board called "Arrowhead Pride." The glasses have rose coloring there.

I put myself through college too. And I pay your son's salary, as I did many other mother's son's salaries before him, like Eric Warfield, and Dexter McCleon, and William Bartee, and lots of other corners who bear similar scortch marks as Phillip. I don't hate your son. I hate the way he plays corner. Hate the sin, love the sinner.

Blowfish just so you know, i haven't asked my son for anything that he has earned. I wanted him to be smart with his money and invest it. He did attend Rice...smart kids. I have worked hard my whole life coming from the intercity projects going in the military, putting myself through college and working now for the federal government. So for you to assume things not true, shame on you. You can hate my son all you like. It doesnt matter to me. You sound very bitter against a kid and a mom that have done nothing to you. Please dont comment on my posts anymore. Phillip will be fine.

For those of you who are wishing him well, i really appreciate it. Ive really enjoyed reading all of your posts. I just wanted you all to know that never a day went by that he didnt try to do well for the chiefs and their fans. Im going to sign off now because it is for the best.

Hey I'm sorry if I made his mom cry. Not like Gaines hasn't been discussed on the CP before. Thread from late October:
