i hope they make bladwin inactive for the first half of the season just to prove a point if he acts up and dont become a team player he wont be playing. i think we have enough talent on the roster to make due without him for a little while. plus then the second half we will have a wr who has fresh legs and a new attitude.

Thomas Jones is one of the most respected and well-liked veterans in the league. Numerous teammates and coaches have mentioned how much of a positive impact that Jones has had on teams and locker rooms for years now.

I have a hard time believing that Thomas would be in the wrong in this instance.

There was a similar incident a few years ago when Jones was in Chicago and the Bears drafted Cedric Benson. Benson was a whiny little diva who held out for more money. When he finally did come into training camp he expected to be the handed the staring RB job, but he wasn't willing to work hard to earn it. Like Baldwin, Benson needed an attitude adjustment and Jones gave him one. Every Bears player that commented on it later took Jones's side.

He's well respected in the Chiefs locker room and one of the leaders of this team. Whatever happened I'm sure Baldwin started it and he got what was coming to him.

I heard the same thing TS included in one of his posts above...that it began the day before between Charles & Baldwin. I know for a fact that Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles are good friends off the field, they go to dinner together, etc.. As such, no doubt Jones would be protective of his friend & fellow running back, Jamaal.

I've never heard any negative comments about Thomas Jones, rather everyone speaks very highly of his character & professionalism. I'm only speculating based upon his reputation, but I can't imagine Jones being the one who initiated the conflict.

Pretty much my take on this situation. First round draft picks have a bad habit of thinking they are "entitled".....

haley broke bowe... now its baldwins turn....

I hope you are right!

I don't like this guy allready. Sense of entitlement when your playing with professionals and veterans. Starting problems with Jamal Charles our star running back. Baldwin should be so lucky to be on the same field with these guys. This says alot about him. I hope i'm wrong. GO CHIEFS!

I think his teammates and coach Haley will straighten him out. Looks like TJ already straightened out his thumb.

How does it feel for all of you to be WRONG? LOL

I knew there was more to the story and was waiting to here what it was. Baldwin didn't like the hazing, which is completely understandable. Jones sucker punches Baldwin. Now Baldwin has a broke thumb.

Words are words. Jones took it too far.
