The Steelers are an outlier. Tomlin has allowed that locker room to fester into something truly toxic.

@AdamSchefter: Eric Berry said his spirit is good to play on Saturday. His spirit, I’m told, is still day to day. #chiefskingdom #spirit #haglunds #frankgallagher #paidtosit

I think it's an absurd thought process and no my belief is not reeruned. Players back other players 99.999% of the time and we aren't talking about Matt Cassel, we are talking about a 3 time All Pro who has come back from multiple injuries and Cancer.

I'm not the dumbass here, I assure you of that.

Seems like Berry has an actual problem in his heel and may be refusing "pain relief" to allow him to play. Meaning, doesn't want to take the needle.

Says everyone who's ever had an opinion......in the history of time.

In reality could some of those guys be annoyed at Berry? Yea absolutely, some of the older players who may be coming to the end or a fringe guy who thinks this is his only shot...

Just they're not dumb enough to say it to a reporter.

Perfectly stated. I'm way past sick of this shit. Professional thieves are in awe of how much of Clark's money Berry has stolen.

SMH it's almost as if some folks don't look at these players as HUMAN BEINGS!!!...just like the "good old days" :rolleyes:

I assume you have twitter? Do you follow any of the Chiefs beat writers or anyone who covers the Chiefs for the Athletic or ESPN or any other media outlet?

Have you seen their comments and opinions on all of this?

Sure...because I'm sure Chiefs beat writers are going to publicly call out a cancer survivor if his "spirit" isn't into playing that week.

I think the shot that would help him weakens the Achilles.

Who outside of Antonio Brown or Le'Veon Bell have been called out for not playing through an injury? And Bell wasn't even called out because of an injury. He was called out because he chose to hold out.

I just asked Mellinger his thoughts on this and whether he thinks any players have hard feelings over Berry not playing. :shrug: It will just be his opinion of course but I would guess he knows more than us. Ill report back if he says nothing of interest but I doubt he does.

Also its been pointed out Berry took his approach to the contract negotiations because the team didn't even offer him a contract after his rookie deal and franchised him without an offer and he played that year on the tag. At an All Pro level I might add. They could have gotten him cheaper the year before and been a year farther down the road on the contract.

Chiefs screwed this up in many ways.

They have been adamantly defending him which they have no reason to do.

The Chiefs AND Berry are at fault here.
