So many here are so close to the Chiefs that this has had a great affect on them. I suspect the anti Hill faction holds the Chiefs closer to their hearts than those who support his selection.
Personally, it's a very violent sport. There is bound to be violent men participating. I accept that. But one strike only from here on out. Is Andy the guy to straighten him out? He has that reputation. |

I'd like to hear his plan out of his mouth. I'd never do anything like this but if I put myself in his shoes and I've truly changed and want to grow up and be a good man people will respect I outline a plan of X amount of signing bonus goes to my child and his mothers needs. They are priority #1 to make sure they are taken care of. % of weekly check goes to them too. He pays for both their healthcare. Donates to domestic violence victims and prevention programs. Will spend days off (typically Tuesdays during the season) talking with abusers and sharing his problems. When a councelor feels he's ready have a goal to become a mentor to abusers wanting to change and defeat they're cowardly demons. And this can't be some speech wrote by his agent or the team. If it's me and I've got this opportunity to provide for and make this kind of money I'm going to do every in my power to walk the walk of changing. I'm going to tell them all I'm going to prove im not some kind of monster or idiot with anger issues. Let the kid speak about his plan going forward. No excuses about the past. Tell them from the heart if that's how he really feels. Something like that takes guts and if I was him(I'm not a ****ing coward) I would really think something like this would only help. Maybe be given some slack to prove myself. Short of this I just don't understand taking the risk with this kid. Is it too much to ask to have him introduce himself and lay out a plan of action? It would be a requirement before I even thought about drafting him |

Normally, I wouldn't care.
But JFC, did I fight this bullshit or what? The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. |

I'm guessing a few kick return touchdowns and domestic violence charity later everyone will love this pick
Remember how clean and family oriented bill cosbys show was and we all see how that turned out. People **** up so he question is was it a moment or a pattern. |

Can't wait for this guy to finally get on the field.. He's going to split this place in half once Toub gets his hands on him.

Who are you?
I don't even know who you are and you are trying to cyber-bully. Cyber-bullying is almost as bad as domestic violence. Would you lose your career if your colleagues knew you behaved like that? |

This is an entertainment entity. This is a game. The better the talent, the better the product, the better the entertainment. The characters that provide this talent will not always be stand up citizens. Occasionally the top talent will come with bottom character. Sometimes you have to accept the bottom character for top product. Quit bitching, and realize you're complaining about other grown men that aren't ideal citizens playing a game you enjoy to observe.
If he ends up sucking and not contributing to the team, he will be gone and you can continue to believe that should've been the move all along because that's how you wanted it. Until then, hope that Hill ends up being the type of player Dorsey thought he was, someone who would make all of the baggage Hill brought with him be worth it. Because that's his job. Bring the best talent to the team, so they perform the best, so you can be entertained to the highest possible point. |

Hill was drafted because he has high end talent as a returner and a gadget guy, so he replaces Davis and DAT and was given another chance because he admitted guilt and did what he could to get help so he improves as a person and doesn't repeat mistakes. I wouldn't have drafted him. Not in a million years. But with a staff trying to win a title, they took a chance on this kid and hopefully, he donates a chunk of his $ to programs that help battered women and takes care of his responsibilities for his child. Maybe even starts his own foundation to try and right a terrible wrong. He has an opportunity here that IMO he shouldn't have gotten...hopefully he makes the best of it. |
