man when Will Shields doesn't make the hall of fame again this year those tears are gonna taste soooo good!

Wishing Tony all the best. Not an ounce of hate here.

I think I've reached ultimate ambivalence with Tony. Not rooting for him, not rooting against him. Just glad I got to watch a true first ballot Hall of Famer play in his prime here.

This

Agreed.

no kidding...

I like football because of great players and plays. He has great hands and is fun to watch no matter what team.

Lighten up, Sweetie.

Look at that lineup of names...LMAO

This.

Alot of our fan base deserves the bitterness and lack of any semblance of success the Chiefs have thrust upon them

Agreed again.

Tony Gonzalez is the only certain HOF caliber skill position player the Chiefs have drafted and developed in at least 30+ years.

He played 10 HOF caliber years in KC. He didn't get in trouble off the field and represented himself in the community reasonably well. Was he a prick at certain times during his 10 years in KC? Perhaps. George Brett was a prick at times as well. As mentioned previously in this thread Derrick Thomas was a very flawed individual... much more so than Tony Gonzalez.

So do 29 other NFL teams :thumb:

I've said what I've had to say on the topic. Whether or not he decides to retire it's been an absolute pleasure watching him redefine what was previously not a superstar position. Hell of a career Tony.

I would have to say that if he retires now with his team on the brink, he's got no drive inside.
