Chiefs Ring of Honor for sure but if Terrell Davis can't get in, neither will Charles.

I still think Priest Holmes was the better running back and receiver. His vision was extraordinary.

And a back with less than 10,000 yards doesn't have a chance, IMO.

This is my last word on the subject and I won't respond further just cause I don't want to derail an important thread. I love Priest Holmes, but compare the offenses they played in. Jamaal has had nothing. No epic o-lineman. Nobody at QB. Just a dumpster fire. And he's been unstoppable in spite of it all. And he somehow managed higher yards per carry than Jim Brown and Barry ****ing Sanders. If Bettis is in the ****ing Hall of Fame then it is a joke that Jamaal would not be. It's the "Hall of Longevity", and should not be connected to greatness.

I agree with all of this.

**** the Cubs and their shitty "historic" stadium with its shitty ivy.

I think if the Royals come close to a 5/75 he stays. He has ties to the area and I think he'd like to be the next retired Royals hero. Zobrist might look at a team closer to Nashville.

I think he is FOS but heard from a guy that does have ties to GMDM that Cubs offered 5/120 Royals offered 5/85. I just cant see those dollars but who knows.

I don't buy that for a second.

Every single player has put the team on their back at some point.
You can't point to a single moment and logically suggest to pay a player tons of money you don't have.

Dayton is still going to have a budget.

But yes, that Gordong was huge.

So we are to believe that the Cubs' opening offer was for more per-season than the Marlins gave Giancarlo Stanton?

Yeah, no.

I think the chances he ends up in KC are pretty slim. I'm not even sure they'll offer him a 5 year deal.

I don't either but I was floored when Butters got 3 for 30 from the A's.

HA HA,thanks for the laugh!

Talking about over paying and if they were so stupid to do this, this would open up a major can of worms for players across the board. Every player will use that contract as a measuring stick to position their own contract.

I would be surprised if Gordon gets over 75 mil.

This - everyone of us knew before we clicked on the thread what we would find, and yet here we are.
