He needs cut for this newest incident to prove a point. Screw the extra money saved by cutting him June 1st. You don't change someone who breaks a woman's jaw while he is supposedly sober. Never liked him.

Anyways, I think you have a reading comprehension issue so I am not sure I can help someone in your position. I haven't said anything about the chain of events, or the facts of the case or whatever it is you are forcing yourself to censor the post on. I'm not even sure we disagree, to be honest. You're just lumping me in with the other guys you are arguing with. I simply came in to correct you on your "deck" wording. Claiming that Amelia "decked" Mixon is about as laughable as that "they regretted it. A lot." paragraph that you just typed out. That's why I made the joke about "fighting for his life" but it looks like that one didn't connect with the neurons up there.

But I do agree there's at least one "simp" in this discussion. Keep thinking it's others.

It sounds as if you're arguing semantics. Why? If you admittedly agree ir don't disagree with the sentiment of my posts, why are you all worked up? Deck, slap, hit, punch, push, shove, etc etc.... All mean the same thing in the sense of what happened and what I was referring to. This chick didn't beat him w a frying pan or something. That is obvious.

(02-13-2023, 06:48 PM)KillerGoose Wrote: Oh, I'm not worked up. I think where you and I drift is I don't think it is semantics, especially when we are trying to have a fact-driven conversation. When I hear that someone has been "decked", I think of exactly what Mixon did to Amelia. Just as a sanity check, that's also how Merriam-Webster defines the word. So, when you have that mental picture in mind and see the video to only see her barely slap him, it generates a reaction of "oh c'mon now." It's kind of like if a Chiefs fan were to say that they "blew us out" or "kicked our ass" in the AFCCG. In the sense of what happened, sure, they won, but saying either of those phrases paints a very specific picture that when you see what truly happened, it kind of makes you scoff at what was being said. 

It's hyperbole, but I don't believe hyperbole has a place in a fact-driven conversation. Now, I didn't really take it too serious with my initial post. That's why I made the joke about Mixon "fighting for his life" as a way to accentuate it. I did post some of my more relevant thoughts to the discussion in my second post after you mentioned that we were "clowning ourselves".

You're entitled to your take on Mixon. Everyone is.

Quote:At one point during the run of arrests, Brown referred to himself as a "redeemer." He said he's now taking an approach more like his father, franchise founder Paul Brown, who didn't put up with bad conduct.


"The thing I do regret is how it came to make us, or put on us an image that I don't think was ever anything but a very small part of what we were and sometimes not a part at all," Brown said. "But if you want to blame somebody for it, blame me.

"In recent years, I've tried to go the other way. I've just thought it's too heavy a price to pay and we were going to go back to square one and bring in here guys that were sound people."

He recognized that the team still has a way to go to shed its reputation. That's part of why he signed on for another "Hard Knocks" series.

"It takes time to get a unit of guys that are solid people, and it takes longer than that to make the public see you in that light," he said.

His base salary next season will only be $870,000.  

KC has already drawn up the blueprint for success for teams having a great QB making $45 million a year. That is to go cheaper on RB's and WR's and protect the franchise QB with a great O-line and give him time to make his reads. 

Which is basically just common sense which JoeM seems to not exercise at times.

That said, you are correct that the formula for success has been shown by the Chiefs. Find the elite QB, do everything you can to protect him and use draft picks and vets around him allowing him to elevate their play.

And before the debate begins about how they have Kelce who is a top target...sure, he is but he isn't paid like a WR. So that would say you should find a gifted TE like a Kyle Pitts and build that way. For comparison sake the cap hit for Hill in 2023 is $31,450,000 while the cap hit for Kelce is $14,801,666. It's all about smart roster building.

Pretty sure any of that "not going over well" that would have happened in KC with Hill being traded was quickly washed away by holding up the Lombardi trophy

When Zac Taylor enters greatest offensive mind of his generation territory we can start to talk about not needing elite weapons. Until then you build around 9 & 1 on offense.

And it’s Lou who’s owned the Chiefs, not Zac/Callahan.
