Billy Baber really pissed off the Chargers last year...

**The Bad Guy** · 06-06-2005, 10:47 AM

As I said in an earlier post last week, I spent the end of last week in Georgia helping out with Chargers linebacker Randall Godfrey's football camp. A friend is good friends with Randall.

Anyway, I was talking to him Saturday night and he told me a great story about Baber.

Last year, the Chargers brought in Baber the week before the first meeting with the Chiefs. He said they did the usual, tried to get information out of him about KC.

Well Baber told the Chargers that when Gonzalez turns to his left and says "g" on the line, that means a power run is coming.

So, in the game, when the Chargers heard G, Ben Leber would step up to stop the run.

One problem, G was a call for a pass, not a run.

Baber gave them false calls to screw up the defense. He basically made the week's salary by giving them dummy calls.

Godfrey said after a couple times they picked up on it, but the Chargers aren't too happy with Baber and cut him immediately after the game.

Oh yeah, also don't be surprised if Donnie Edwards holds out in TC.

Just thought it was a great story to share.

Screw the Chargers! They had thier "once a decade" splash. I think it is great what Baber did!

Gee - I wonder if the Chiefs ever mix anything up.

Baber > Scanlon?

**morphius** · 06-06-2005, 10:56 AM

LOL! That's great. It does really piss me off when teams play that game of "spying". It seems that all the other teams pull that crap all the time.

Billy Baber gets my vote for offseason MVP.

I wonder if he screwed them over or if the Chiefs saw Marty sign him and just made an adjustment.

**Mr. Kotter** · 06-06-2005, 11:00 AM

Awesome....Baber's stock just went up in my view.

ZootedGranny · 06-06-2005, 11:00 AM

That is AWESOME. The best thing Baber ever did for the Chiefs.

Let's break down the stats:

Baber: screwed over the Chargers

Scanlon: 2 illegal blocks

One time Billy Baber went to Mars, did three hot martian chicks, and came home in time to rescue a kitten out of a tree.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Why would Baber deliberately screw his chances for a long-term contract by lying to his new team?

Just another of Marty's annoying little habits.
