And I'm sick of people saying wanted to leave because the guy didn't go to mini-camp that just goes to show how little you know about the guy.. He barely ever went to mini-camp because he knows his position and he knows how to play his game...Pioli and haley seem to be playing the part of being complete asshole when it comes to building a team... Seriously They bring in old ass veteran players that had numbers that no one would consider decent and thy're going to turn around a trade tony just because the falcon coach is best friends with pioli.. Seriously the falcons are pinching themselves right now because they can't believe they actually pulled this off....Fuck you haley and fuck you pioli...I'll give you 2 years before i start demanding change...I will get your number and public release to the entire Kansas City fan base...

I've wanted KC to trade him for YEARS. Maybe if you have a SB ring in hand, and your TE caught the winning catch in the last 5 minutes of 3 or 4 playoff games, yeah, but even THEN, there's probably more value for your team to trade such a player to some team that's greedy for gaudy stats. So WHAT if he deserves to be in the top 5 of players at his position? The position was overvalued! Especially if your top 5-paid guy took 10 years to learn how to block! With 2 or 3 years left to him, KC scored by securing a 2nd-rounder. So MY impression of Tony is quite a bit more jaundiced than most. Sorry, Tony fans. Much respect to you. It's just always seemed like the team existed to get Tony money and stats and NOT that Tony existed to get the Chiefs a ring. I'd speak differently if his likely HOF career were accompanied by a ring (or at least a lot more playoff wins!).
