Comments on: Is Rooting Against Atlanta Wrong? http://arrowheadaddict.com/2009/11/19/is-rooting-against-atlanta-wrong/ A Kansas City Chiefs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more Fri, 25 May 2012 06:14:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Whir http://arrowheadaddict.com/2009/11/19/is-rooting-against-atlanta-wrong/#comment-8483 Whir Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:18:16 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/2009/11/19/is-rooting-against-atlanta-wrong/#comment-8483 I have rooted against ATL ever since they signed Tony. Why? Because he's an ex-Chief who bitched his way out of KC, just as the original post says. I don't understand any Chiefs fans who feels obliged to root for Tony G to get a Super Bowl win. Why? If you are a Chiefs fan, then why do you really care about anyone else? Meh. I don't get it. Don't get me wrong, I love Tony G and what he gave KC. But unless a player wears Red and Gold, I'm NOT going to root for him. On the other side, if an enemy wears another uniform, and comes to KC, I will embrace him as CHIEF. It's that simple. Marcus Allen was a Raider, folks. Guess what? He's now one of KC's most beloved players ... he ended up in Red and Gold, so we love him. Tony Gonzo isn't wearing our uniform, so I ave no idea what we owe him RIGHT NOW. I have rooted against ATL ever since they signed Tony. Why?

I hte seeing him in a nother uniform but part of me was happy seeing Tony go to a contender, if you can call the Falcons a contender. Finishing his career in KC on a team that will most likely win only two games for the second straight year is no way to send off one of the teams all time greats and sure-fire first ballot hall of famer. It's not just that we currently suck, it's the feeling of futility before every game. Every Sunday I see flashes, small and rare but flashes nonetheless, of a team that might be good at some point and heading in the right direction. Other than those flashes it is grueling watching the team struggle. The last Chargers game was the worst I've ever seen us play, on every level. I wouldn't wish this season on Tony. I would however wish it on LJ. I'll be pissed if by some miracle that "asshole" becomes a success in Cinci rather than causing them to implode. LJ is the epitome of an asshole versus Haley. Haley hasn't screwed up and been forgiven enough yet for me to consider him an asshole. There's no reason to root against Tony while simultaneously rooting against the Falcons. I wish Tony personal success this year and in the future while I wish the Falcons failure the rest of the season. I say root for Tony but root against the Falcons. Good meeting you Jeremy. Thanks for the heads up and invite to the site. Keep up the good work. I look forward to watching some games with you over a few Stellas while the wives hang out.

Carl was offered and agreed to send Tony to Buffalo for a 3rd round pick in the upcoming draft. Tony rejected that trade. Pioli got an offer from Atlanta for a second round pick two drafts away. In trades, picks two drafts away are devalued by one round. On that scale, we got similar value. The difference is, Tony was OK with going to Atlanta, but turned down going to Buffalo. hmills:
