Oh, if I only knew how to help fan those flames.

The thought of desention at the top, at 1 Arrowhead Drive is music to my ears.

I'd disagree.

Shockey was a whiney, often injured, average blocking, wide-body-diva.
Gono is easily TWICE the TE shockey was.

Value is getting twice as much in a trade.

I wonder if you'll get barbecued over that comment the way I was last night.

The rest of the league wasn't going to be as stupid as the Saints were in that trade.

Gonzo has demonstrated much more pride and character throughout his career for me to believe he will not give it 110%. He is not Randy Moss or Terrell Owens who will throw temper tantrums.

The rest of the team also realize the business of the NFL and will not let this episode distrupt.

Herm Edwards has set the piss poor leadership example, Tony shouldn't be held to a higher standard than the HC.

But I do agree with your point.

It's really too bad the Saints were that stupid cause Gonzo may have been traded there and we would've gotten a 2nd and they gotten a better player, even if older.

Gonzo, IMO, handled this very well. Only his team mates can judge his sincerity. WTF Carl doesn't let him go for a third is remarkably stupid. Everyday he remains a Chief he is worth less to a rebuilding franchise. Hopefully his class and talent will rub off on the younger guys.

Tony is doing the right thing, off season may offer an opportunity.....

Shockey can't hold TG's jock. he won't be in the league in 10 years. or have anywhere near the numbers.

this sounds alot like Trent Green

It was beyond stupid to give that for Shockey.

To throw his compensation out just to open trade talks sounds fair.

When you're trading for the best at your position (save K/P) top dollar/compensation is expected.

I'm ecstatic he's here.

There's always the outside chance we win the lottery and a new HC/GM reignite his fire after this season.

Sure, it's like buying a lottery ticket but...

And the majority here don't seem to get that.

It does, doesn't it? I was thinking the same thing earlier today, Mr. Laz.

Almost to a T.

FAX

The majority do get it. I think the majority would have taken the 3rd rounder.

I would be willing to bet mondy that TG is gone in the offseason. He will go play a year or two for some other team.
