Q2: He is a Chiefs HOF.
A2: Against vehement dissent. He doesn't belong there, but water under the bridge, apparently.

Q3: He lives in town.
A3: Yeah, he has lots of business interest here, and he's not doing so well.
Copeland's, fail. Brigade, fail.

Q4: He runs DT's foundation
A4: If he runs it like Copeland's or the Brigade, God Help the 3rd and Long Foundation. Carl Peterson's on the board there too, so what?

Q5: Some of you have short memories
A5: Quite the opposite, I remember Denver knocking us out of the playoffs and Neil Smith mugging over our downed QB Gannon very clearly. Not pretty, not pretty at all.

Q6: Carl decided not to sign Neil...
A6: Yeah, because he was coming off a crappy year, and we had no cap room. Denver cheated their cap numbers to fit him in, by deferring compensation to Elway. John Elway made it happen for Smith, so they could BEAT KC.

OK, that was ten years ago.

Are you guys gonna get all warm and fuzzy for the kicker who remains nameless and put his picture on our masthead too?

Damn you are still bitter aren't you? Maybe instead of being mad at Neil you should be mad at Carl and yes we had alot of cap space because he signed DT to a long-term deal after he released Neil. If Carl was half the GM that he should have been he could have fit both under the cap. If you look at the contract Neil signed he got $1-1.5 million for 1 year. Are you going to say the Chiefs couldn't afford to pay Neil that contract? I call BS.
