Newest Chief Frank Clark’s domestic violence mugshot
We’re starting to find out how Clark Hunt’s Chiefs differ from father Lamar’s.…
And judging from the way the team has spent the past month tap dancing around facing up to the obvious sins of Tyreek Hill times have big time changed.
The bottom line being the home team is more interested in cashing in on a Super Bowl than setting anything akin to amoral examples.
And hats off to KCTV for its intrepid reporting that did not require ad nauseam reminders that they’d scored some minor scoop..
In direct contrast to the Kansas City Star’s endless reminding readers they were first to report incidental details of Hill’s transgressions – transgressions that paled in comparison Channel 5’s monster scoop busting Hill for threatening the mother of his abused three year-old son in a Dubai airport.
And while the newspaper has done a decent job of guilt tripping the Chiefs, they’ve stopped short of calling out team management.
Where are the tough questions, putting the team and owner Clark Hunt on the record for beating around the bush and hiding in the shadows for weeks, hoping Hunt might somehow dodge the bullet.
And don’t forget, Kansas weak-as-a-kitten child abuse laws still could give Hill an ungraceful out.
So are the Chiefs still looking for excuses to give Hill a zillion dollar contract?
You have to wonder…
Because when it comes to learning from past mistakes, the Chiefs are brutally bad.
Tyreek Hill’s domestic abuse mugshot
Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill, Jovan Becher and other gun slinging playas past…
Like the team’s newest signee, defensive end Frank Clark.
A dude who’s college career at Michigan included a felony second-degree home invasion charge to which he pleaded guilty, that could have netted him 15 years in prison and $3,000 fine, but he dodged by something called the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act.
On top of which Clark was later arrested for domestic violence and dismissed from Michigan’s football team. Naturally, he’s a changed man on his second – or is it third chance?
Hunt’s more than month overdue public take: “It is obviously a tough situation for the organization,”
Ya think?
So yeah, guess you could say times have kinda changed at One Arrowhead Drive.
Or have they?
Chiefs management a character Rod Serling teleplay: Ernie Pandish ‘The Velvet Alley’
Storyline: desperate writer looking for success, struggling make it at his craft (analogy success in the NFL) aft rejection ad nauseam (half a century wandering in the football wilderness), finally sells his script (obtains great talent); fame and fortune follow, at a high cost. Part and parcel, Serling describes “certain blandishments (pursuit winning Superbowl) a guy (management) can succumb to (player warts)”; in each case, once it has you, you’re had, lose your very soul.

A longer leash if not outright immunity (Clinton politics, Smollett show biz) and the current sports situation possibly (Hill/others) waiting to play out result ‘$tar’ status. In addition Chiefs/former’s, more recent (Roy Miller), not so recent (Larry Johnson) come to mind. Former a backup DL did not make it beyond seven games KC ‘career’ aft a lone arrest ’17 – latter high profile RB lasted seven years despite a reported four arrests 2003-’09.
Two links below: first an interesting breakdown of player transgressions by name and position NFL teams (WR, LB, CB, RB, DT atop the list. Chiefs Hill, Belcher, Hunt and Clark correlate by position in general); second link more info.

Fines, suspensions, releases, incarceration or demise. Nod Belichick’s ‘Patriot Way’, New England, despite its own scandals, skeletons and cadavers closet, wins, minus showboats, better than any other team. Do so an semblance class afield, shy taunts, gyrations… the best example century 21 has to offer, if damned faint praise more a matter ‘best of the worst’ than genuinely noble; such the sorry lot modern day sport.

Former Chiefs CB Peters lesser issues than above players while KC and college, star status wasn’t enough save him here. His exit, as well others sport a ‘size 10 hat worn atop #2 head’, a good thing, my opine.
‘Hey, look at me everybody!’ types Hunt, Houston, Nelson, Hill, as well Kelce, Jones and Mahomes, must go sooner than later, even no Superbowl the cost; the end does not justify the means. ‘But they’re our best players – can’t win the Superbowl without them’ the cry fandom, perhaps fact. Still, Kerouac prefers see Chiefs win with class… or not at all; not idealism if one was alive see Green Bay Packers rule football world.
‘Feeding the beast’ comes a price to pay: lack of discipline afield (a lack of integrity management, off) can correlate absence self-restraint… players/management alike, measuring failure (overtime loss Patriots) as transgressions (‘reek’ the whirlwind).

Let me know when a Chiefs player murders at least 3 people that can be pinned to him, and was the primary suspect in a least three more as Aron Hernandez was. You know the New England Patriot who “Do so an semblance class afield, shy taunts, gyrations… the best example century 21 has to offer,” The very same organization who despite knowing he was suspected of MURDER in college drafted him anyway. The vary same organization who’s owner prefers to pay prostitutes. The very same organization who picked up Josh Gordon, Aquib Talib, Chad Johnson, Corey Dillon, Randy Moss, Alfonzo Dennard , Willie Andrews, Kevin Faulk, Julian Edelman, Michael Floyd, & Albert Haynesorth, Please. Oh, they don’t showboat cause that’s what’s really important(?). Yea right(such an old man trope)…they just murder, drive drunk(multiple times!), beat their girlfriends, commit sexual battery, engage in prostitution, use performance enhancing drug,s and commit aggravated assault. This is the real Patriot way. If you you’re going to be such a Chief’s troll, maybe pick a better comparison than the Patriots . They are most definitely not the ” best of the rest.” That was just lazy. Do better. Be best!
“Let me know”
– nod your solicitation Kerouac’s succor, diagnosis your malady: ADHD (a mind that ‘wonders’ as it wanders, an analytical knack yours that lacks, habitually.)
Anatomization lost on you, in the parlance – ‘gist’ – let us review:
“New England, despite its own scandals, skeletons and cadavers closet, wins”… and there you have it, gratis, courtesy this sports doctor.

Speaking of killing it, 1969 is so ‘yesterday’ compared to ‘what have you done for us lately’ century 21 (for those counting ‘six since 2001’ Pats vs ‘the big uno’ swiss chiefs 18,006 days ago.
As Kerouac (apologies to Nike and Jackson), what does Bono? SF has the restaurants… NE the Championships… and KC the tragic history hard to top:
Elmore Stephens, the top draft choice in 1975, Jim Tyrer 1980, Jovan Belcher 2012 account for, all told, five’s demise (no need detail the ‘running tote’ involving current or former’s presently or once affiliated account for: drugs, drug trafficking, domestic violence, assault, battery, guns, theft, stolen vehicle, disorderly conduct, dui’s, false information given (‘lying’, for those reside ‘Show Me’) counterfeiting (‘funny money’)- have we forgotten any, anyone? Probably.
… go chiefs
😎
Um, Jovan Belcher?
Fuck the NFL.
With exceptions, for the most part, it’s chocked full of gangster scum, criminals and SJW’s with the IQ of a Flipper Baby.
I seriously am so disgusted when I see the games by accident on TV, I get nauseous.
The new logo for the NFL should be players taking a knee on their wives/girlfriends throats.
