I don't know, Stinky's vertical ain't what it used to be...

Oddball ain’t that bad against the slot.

Cornbread has a gleam!

If it plays out that he comes back late and helps us in a playoff game then this entire saga was worth it in my mind. Especially if we got the 1 seed. If we do, having him wouldn't have improved anything during regular season play. If that doesn't happen, then I will get mad.

People are literally mad that a cancer survivor isn't in good enough shape to play the most violent sport in history... some of you have lost your minds. Berry should've been doing charity events, not trying to play football. He should have never been given that contract to begin with, but you can't blame him for not being in physical shape to play. Its on the owner/GM (depending on which version of events you believe) for making the riskiest signing I've ever seen, not the player.

This, plus in reality there is no "saga." The Chiefs simply don't want to provide all the gory details and I don't blame them for that; no other (competent) team does, either. Look at the Pats for example. It's definitely frustrating since I always hoped he'd be back this week... or the next week... or the one after, but at the same time I didn't work myself up over it like so many people here. It is what it is. Cross fingers he's back ASAP.

I think it was a stupid contract, I think most of us do, but make no mistake, Berry sold himself as a player, not as a Fathead wall sticker!

Bob Sanders did it several years back for the Colts. He was a real difference maker in the playoffs. But yea, the list of players who also accomplished this is not a long one.

I agree. The saga seems to lie more with the fans than the media, and especially the players. I don't care about the contract, the pain threshold, ect. I only care if he helps us when it counts. If he doesn't, I'll be in line with the rest.

^ See you soon in line, say hi to Tumbleweed.

I'm dreaming of this scenario for the next few months.

Eric Berry transitions back into his starting role throughout December ahead of the playoffs, knocking off rust, getting back in shape for a run. He helps the Chiefs dominate their way to the Super Bowl, where....

In his home town of Atlanta, whether it be against the Saints, Rams, or whoever, Berry makes that one game changing play that ultimately wins the Chiefs their first championship since 1970. He's that type of player to do it, and we've seen it before. It would be poetic justice, a true storybook ending. All of the frustration and confusion of this saga becomes worth it. Berry fulfills his destiny and cements his legacy in Kansas City.

Love it! :thumb:

Wow, go ahead and dish me up some of that

I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but Houston had the strip sack that led to the go-ahead TD with only a few minutes left.

He pushed for that contract...soooo....no.
