Chiefs Tony Gonzalez Farewell PC - Page 7

Didn't see this posted yet.

Tony G is holding a PC today at 11:00 AM to say goodbye and thanks to fans. It's closed to the public, but I assume 810 will be covering it.

Anyway, she met and was around DT many times and is totally convinced he was a 1st class asshole.

Maybe he had multiple personalities.

I often wonder when someone thinks a famous person is an asshole because they won't bend over backwards for every him/her off the street who comes up pestering them how'd they act in the same shoes. Think telemarketers, but worse.

I'm not getting pissy. Sorry if it came out that way. I meant it as a joke.

I really want to be enshrined in the Ring of Honor.

I'll take that as a role model over some gangster wannabe every day.

So he didn't sign a few autographs. Big fuggin' deal.

bingo!

Willie Roaf was a stud player too, but he also took the time at 10:30 at night to sign for every little kid that wanted an autograph. That's a true professional, and not some "do it for the camera's" hero like Gonzalez always came across as.

We don't always think alike, but when we do, it's like you're reading my mind.

I hope the Falcons go 0-16 every year for the next 10 years.

Anyone actually hear the PC? Basically said at the beginning its not about the records and numbers anymore and about winning now and how he'll do anything for atl even if he doesn't catch 90 balls and have 10 tds he'll be ok. Came off pretty selfish esp at the beginning of the PC...

Kinda funny how it was more about the numbers and records while he was with us currently...it sounded weird, and bad at first but he recovered at the end of the PC.

Ive not only heard, but known for a fact that DT was not an asshole. Atleast not to the extent of George Brett. My Grandmother was the spokesperson for MADD and Derrick and her were great friends. Derrick was always with her to support her during pep rallies and such and always treated everyone with respect. He really liked my grandmother, and let me be as un-biased as possible. She was one of the best ladies that anyone ever got to know.

Does anyone have a transcript, or a recording of the PC? I havent gotten to hear or read any of it yet.

Sure-Oz · 04-29-2009, 08:09 AM

Also 810 they were playing it yesterday and believe pioli and co. thought gonzo was one of those selfish guys and then re-played how he got poed he didnt set the record at home and how he was pissed for over a week about it.

I hate to say it, but arent all great receivers/TE's selfish? hmm. Shannon Sharpe, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, TO, K1 and K2. Tony just fit in i guess.

ForeverChiefs58 · 04-29-2009, 08:30 AM

There are those that wish him well, that is great. You might wish a woman well after you catch her sleeping wish your best friend also. I don't feel that way at all. I think he is an unbelievably selfish prick! The Chiefs reinvented throwing the ball so many times to a TE and giving him all those records all when it was important to him. Now, our team and new QB could really use his help. He told Atlanta he plans on playing 3-4 more years. We should be in playoffs in the next two seasons, and making a SB run ourselves by then!

Sure-Oz · 04-29-2009, 08:31 AM

I still would like Tony to get a ring before it's said and done so Shannon Sharpe can

since he thinks he's a superior TE cause he has one.

I've seen Neil Smith out in public all the time, grocery store, gas station.

He definately uses the "you know who I am" card. He's a ****in prick
