Never did I say he was faking an injury or that " the injury shouldn't take that long". I also never said the Chiefs did the right thing either.
Not in those exact words, no.
Now if your opinion ( because that's all it is ) is that the Chiefs were trying to compensate for something they didn't give him in the first place, I can live with that. I just think it is funny to hear some people say ( not you) it wasn't about the money. Please!! It's always about the money!
Well, it wasn't about the money. The money is always a factor, but you yourslef have pointed out that Priest has made his money. Also, he had a choice. He could either stay at home and collect a check, or go to work and collect the same check. How do you figure that that is about the money?
I simply think that accepting the money and not keeping in contact with the people that are paying you, keeping them updated on your status, keeping in touch with teammates that are obviously concerned about your condition and status and basically keeping yourself part of the team was wrong! IMO, by doing these things, he didn't even act like he wanted to be part of the team!
