when you're ready for the real story
on marcus i will be more than happy to tell you all about it. if your interested just let me know. i know some would rather just side in with the kc media(who btw have now turned on their own) than actually hear the sordid details.
we did implode at the s.b.. i can admit that. i can also say that tim brown was a cancer to our team(i have proof of that if anyone is interested).
i am the type of guy who roots for my organization. no player is above that organization. an organization is like a chain and is only as strong as it's weakest link. brown was a weak link. marcus was a weak link.
anyhoo, were you aware that cally wanted to primarily run on the cover 2/3 in the s.b.? brown, gannon, garner and rice all said, "let's stick with what got us here"! cally relented. barret got hauled off in a straight jacket and our team tried to throw on the best cover 2/3 in the league at the time. doesnt make sense, does it?
that wasnt al's fault.
cant have it both ways ed.
i dont care if you like al or not, but put things in perspective.
either al mostly hinders the organization or he mostly helps it. it's gotta be at least 51-49%, one way or the other.
should i give him his props or tear him down?
at least i know he spends every last dime that he can, and he doesnt have very deep pockets. he only owns like 37% of the team.
i know one thing about al. it's not a business to him. it's an adventure. he does everything he can to win. sometimes it pans out, sometimes it doesnt. but he is not AFRAID to roll the dice. he does not care about sell outs. he does not care about the established perception of him. he likes being an outcast. maybe he thinks he is teddy roosevelt at san juan hill or some shit, i dont know. but he TRIES. that's all i can ask for.
i am just thankful of the glory i have seen and watched over my lifetime.
i admire him for giving a kid 3 s.b. victories that i ACTUALLY got to watch.
i wouldnt trade him for any other owner. he may BE nuts(in some eye's) but he HAS nuts.
he started his career as an unpaid ,graduate asst. coach in the college ranks. he now is the majority owner of an nfl team with the majority of voting stocks on that team. so while he only owns 37% of ACTUAL stock, most of those stocks are VOTING stocks.
i hope he lives forever.
i wont go into his views on equality and fairness, except for one little thing. he didnt need to cheat the cap like denver did to win back to back s.b.'s.
