No one owes him shit, yet when he opens his pie hole, people start fumbling all over themselves to praise and comfort him.

As I've said numerous times, I don't give a **** about any single player on this team. It's about the organization as a whole for me.

You SUCK! Don't care about Gonzo? How can anyone in KC not have respect for him. I wouldn't just give him away but if he wanted to go to Atl, then I'd take a second rdr and let him go. He could have left a long time ago and didn't.

We should all be emotionally married to a player that's never even been part of a playoff win.

Joe Montana won 4 Superbowls and got traded.

First of all, Tony could care less about KC so **** him. Even if really did love KC, then... well bye. My loyalty lies to the team and the insignia that represents it, not to any particular player.

Secondly, it does not matter if he wants to go to Atlanta or not. Pioli will ship Tony's ass off to Atlanta, whether Tony likes it or not.

Finally, I have no sympathy for millionaires.

I respect him as a player, but my emotional attachment to him is as strong as his emotional attachment to me.

As I said, I'm a fan of the franchise and the city more generally.

Furthermore, I don't give a **** what he wants to do. We should be making moves that benefit the long-term viability of the franchise, as it relates to Gonzo and everyone else.

I'm sure the $$$ had nothing to do with why he didn't leave earlier in his career. Gonzo isn't an idiot; he's had both eyes open every time he's re-signed with this team, so I have no sympathy for his "plight."
