I'm saying that TMZ dropping the video with that blatantly sensational title really put us in a bind.

They can say it was because Kareem lied to them, and that may be partially true, but they were facing a lot of pressure due to the nature of the outrage of the video.

That wasn't directed at you man. I was just trying to show how blaming lying for the reason Chiefs let Kareem go is not something I'm buying. IMO truth is Hunt wanted to look like the 'good guy' to the league. In reality it was an overreaction on Chiefs and media's part. The Browns signed Kareem and he's been fine. No one even mentions the incident anymore except the homers who defend anything the Chiefs do.
Kareem deserved another chance especially from a HC like Reid. Given Reid's history with his sons, Michael Vick, and more recently Josh Gordon I would think he would defend Kareem.. Decision came from higher ups more than likely to look good to media or whatever.
