Jared Allen talks Vikes football
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=416...goryid=2459789
Jared Allen sits down with Jim Rome and he's wearing that STUPID coyote hat. If someone knows how to embed ESPN video please do so. |

Jared has always been an excellent football player. He was also a first class a-hole until he decided to grow up. Maybe Carl's attitude toward Allen ended up saving his life and the life of some innocent driver had Allen not gone sober. Who knows. I still enjoy watching the guy play and get a kick out of his interviews.

If it was latter then fine, still IMO it was a stupid decision to trade him. I for one didn't think he was high risk, he came to camp in shape, many of those around him said he quit drinkin. etc. |

He was, and STILL IS, high risk. All users are. The way a team shields themselves against that is to put a behavior clause in the contract. Jared Allen publicly stated several times that he would not sign such a contract, at least not with the Chiefs. In hindsight, it seems we should have kept him because it was only a year between trading him and Carl getting fired. At the time however, it was CLEAR that Jared did not want to play for Carl and with no end to Carl's reign in sight, the only prudent thing to do was to trade him. |

He didn't want to be in KC. Why do people forget that?

I don't think it was KC, he didn't want to be here because of Carl. The ironic thing is if we had franchised him and then gotten rid of Carl, he may have stuck around for Pioli and Haley. Then again, Pioli and Haley may not have wanted him either...

The Jared Allen Sports Arena was a wild success.

He's a good player, but he does seem like a douchebag.

He said he didn't want to play for Carl, pretty much end of story. |
