Adam Teicher calls out Sippio Nation

Quote:

The myth of Bobby Sippio

One of the many negative aspects of last summer's visit to Chiefs camp of NFL Films and the Hard Knocks crew was that the show glorified a wide receiver of rather average talents by the name of Bobby Sippio.

I still receive regular e-mails from fans wondering why the Chiefs don't play Sippio more and why I don't write about him more. I get more questions about Sippio than about any other Chiefs player, a fact that is simply amazing considering that Dwayne Bowe, Larry Johnson, Brodie Croyle and dozens of other more interesting subjects play for this team.

So it was predictable that the hate mail would roll in today after I had the nerve to write a story in this morning's Kansas City Star detailing the contributions of some of the Chiefs' young receivers in the exhibition opener in Chicago. I wrote mainly about Maurice Price, Will Franklin and Jeff Webb.

Not a mention of Sippio. I even received a call yesterday afternoon from one of my editors wondering whether I had simply forgotten about Sippio and that he caught the winning TD. I'll pass along what I told him.

Price, Franklin and Webb did their work against Chicago starters or backups who will be with the Bears when the regular season begins. These three receivers also look like they will be playing for the Chiefs when the season starts.

Sippio did his work in the fourth quarter of a preseason game. That's the domain of guys who will be looking for jobs in another few weeks. It's a sign, Sippio fans, that your hero is going to have a tough time making the team. And he caught his three passes against players who will soon be ex-Bears.

That may not mean much to you, but I guarantee that it does to the Chiefs.

I talk regularly with Herm Edwards, offensive coordinator Chan Gailey and wide receivers coach Eric Price. None has been critical of Sippio, even off the record. But clearly they are more excited about Franklin and Price, mainly because of their speed.

Sippio isn't fast. It's why he was playing in the Arena League when he joined the Chiefs. It's why he doesn't get more playing opportunities.

I can't tell you today whether or not Sippio will make the team. My guess is that he won't. But one thing is becoming clear: the wide receivers who will play for the Chiefs when the season begins will come from this group: Bowe, Devard Darling, Franklin, Price and Webb. Not Bobby Sippio.

And that's something the billions of Bobby Sippio fans out there will just have to deal with.
News From The Future: Kansas City Star writer Adam Teicher was killed today when his brakes failed, causing his car to careen off a 50-foot cliff. Teicher actually survived the crash and exited the car, only to be hit by a meteor that had fallen from outer space. "It was almost as if he had tempted fate somehow," remarked an officer at the scene.

RustShack 08-09-2008 01:56 PM

"I can't tell you today whether or not Sippio will make the team." ..."but, the one thing I will tell you is out of the the WRs that will make the team, Sippio isn't one of them".

Sure-Oz 08-09-2008 02:16 PM

I like Sipp just cause he's an underdog shot and cause of hard knocks....

I know he probably wont make the team but its nice to see him do something. They were saying last year he had excellent hands but couldnt seperate worth a shit. I thought i read in a bio that he had atleast above avg speed, must've been years ago.

Rain Man 08-09-2008 02:22 PM

People said the same thing about Peyton Manning when he was trying to latch onto a team. Granted, they weren't bright people, but they were people.

kstater 08-09-2008 02:23 PM

I never saw what the big deal with Sippio was.

Teicher is a really miserable douchebag. He must hate his job to antagonize his readership like that, which is a shame, because most people would kill do to that job that he does so poorly.

B_Ambuehl 08-09-2008 03:08 PM

Unfortunately none of those other 4 "guys with speed" will be around longer than a couple of years either and Sippio is actually probably a better receiver than any of them. He's the only receiver other than Bowe who acts like the game isn't a big deal to him. He's got better hands than any of them. He's physical and can catch the ball in traffic. I guarantee you over the next couple of years some assclown with speed will line up in the slot and drop multiple passes that Sippio would've hauled in.

Seriously. Is there really that many people out there that thought Sippio was the next T.O.?

Either way, fans love to root for the underdog and Teicher really came off condescending to the fans there. *uck him.

Yep, that post pretty much sums up this reeruned-ass love affair people have with Sippio.

He's got great hands, there's no doubt about that.

But he lacks the speed necessary to separate and get open at this level consistently, and a WR with hands of glue is worthless if they can't get open.

Mecca 08-09-2008 03:31 PM

Bobby Sippio runs like a man who weighs about 250lbs and plays TE...

Valiant 08-09-2008 03:49 PM

Well the others will not make the team if they are not a ST contributor.. So it is a moot point on Sippio..

RealSNR 08-09-2008 03:55 PM

Sippio was big last year. Wanna know why? Because he knew how to CATCH THE MOTHER ****ING BALL

When's the last time we had a Chiefs receiver who did that? Anyone? Anyone?

Hammock Parties 08-09-2008 04:00 PM

Duh. Well done, Teicher.

Arena league trash.

MGRS13 08-09-2008 04:01 PM

I don't really care if Sippio makes the team. I just don't want him to lose a spot to Devard "I'm really fast but can't play WR" Darling. If DD doesn't catch a ball or even give any QB a reason to look his way in the preseason please tell my why on earth he should be on this team.

RealSNR 08-09-2008 04:03 PM

Sorry if fans got excited, Teicher. I mean, really. When you put up with dropped catches from (to name a few...)

Eddie Kennison
Samie Parker
Chris Thomas
Dante Hall
Derrick Alexander
Snoop Minnis
Jason Dunn

And even a guy who was supposed to be great- Johnnie Morton

You tend to get excited about a tough receiver who will go over the middle and make the tough catch.

I understand he's too slow to play in the NFL. But geez, this article is ****ing dumb. Leave the bashing to Whitlock. Teicher's job is to report facts clearly and on time, which he already does poorly. I'm willing to bet Clayton could do a better job.

In any case, now I hope Bobby Sippio makes the team just to rub his shit all over Teicher's mouth and say "you like that."

It's amazing to see you guys rush to the defense of Arena League Trash. Sippio is nothing more than an HBO creation. He had a pretty nondescript camp .

Keep ranting against Teicher, though, for reporting the absolute truth.

Actually I only seen one episode of hard knocks, and that was before Sippio was here. I'm also probably one of the biggest Sippio supporters.

This is all fine and dandy and once again I don't care if he makes the team or not but he has caught a ball for the chiefs so he is in fact better then Devard"I'm rally fast but can't play WR" Darling.

Besides the fact that Darling is in the top three of our WR's in terms of talent and catching and such, maybe even top two depending on if/how Franklin can emerge.

LOL gotta love all the Sippio love while a legit NFL WR like Darling gets crap.

Devard Darling will be a major contributor on our offense this year. Sippio will be lucky to score a touchdown.

legit WR? he couldn't break out with the ravens what more do you need to know about the guy.

If Sippio is so great, how come he didn't lead the league in receptions last year?

All it takes is one to get you going in the right direction.

FAX 08-09-2008 04:15 PM

This is sickening. SIPPIO!!! won that game fair and square. The reason he didn't toast the Bears' first stringers is that they didn't play him. Pure and simple.

This writer is the third stringer. On a string of assclowns.

18 catches for 16 first downs, and a 18 yard average.

Correct, the return was for 6 yards.

No catches.

B_Ambuehl 08-09-2008 04:25 PM

If Darling were worth a shit he'd still be in Baltimore. There are at least 2 guys like him on every roster in the NFL. Tall guys that can run. Whoopee. Hell, there are 3 or 4 of them on this roster alone. Excitement destorys receivers. They get in the game and get too excited and that destroys their hands, their moves, and their confidence. Sammy Parker was the posterboy for that. There are VERY few guys who can get in an NFL game and just go out and catch the f'in ball like it's no big deal. That has been the main problem for receivers 2 thru 5 on this roster for years and is 1 problem Sippio doesn't have.

Well if you would have read my other post you would know I've said twice thats 2 times in this thread alone I dont care if he makes the team or not(thats three for those of us that can count) What ive said is that darling has proven nothing except he can run fast, he is this years Huard, carl signed him therefor he will make the team even if he doesnt deserve it. Yea and by the way if you think 18 rec. is a good resume you clearly have an easier time with this front office then I do.

Actually they wanted and tried to keep him, but there was nothing they could do because he was a free agent. He knew he was good enough to be a starter, and thats why he left. He didn't play as much as Webb or Parker did last year, but when he got his chance he broke out and put up much better numbers than our WR's outside Bowe. Oh and hes also showing hes better than our other WR's in practice. He wasn't wasn't on the field very long in his one pre season game here.

Claythan... you should realize that Bobby Sippio's success = a happy D. Bowe.

Family first!

I've been rootin' for Sippio, just because I thought we needed a slant receiver to go over the middle and make some rough catches (whatever idiots think Dante Hall makes a good slant receiver can suck my balls, the key skills are toughness and hanging on to the ball, not speed). With the new Chan offense and a 2 TE set (OMG Cottam FTW), we really don't need a guy like Sippio. We also don't need Darling. Bowe, Frankling, Gonzales, Cottam, and whatever other scrub they want are all we need as far as receiving threats go.

The fact that Devard Darling is a starter....

This is what the Chiefs have, they have Dwayne Bowe and then a bunch of other guys and that's pretty much all they are.

And I've had enough Bobby Sippio and Jeff Webb to, when both those guys are gone it won't be to soon.

I can agree with that, although I'm hoping that Franklin can be a major factor. I just don't see a lot of upside with Darling, beyond the typical mediocre FA we tend to attract.

(I'm through the 1st quarter of the Bears/Chiefs game, and pretty impressed with his size speed so far. I won't say anything about that catch on the first drive hitting the ground if you won't.)

Huh?

He's all upside. The Chiefs are hoping he's our Joe Horn.

Darling is the typical mediocre FA the Chiefs sign...camp hype is just that camp hype until he performs on the field he's just that hype.
