It's good to be back

OK, enough of this "banned" business already....somebody can feel free to explain to me why that had happened in the 1st place. I DID NOTHING WRONG WHATSOEVER to warrant doing so.
Seriously, this NFL forum has been HORRIBLE since the season started....my RememberTheTitans troll was meant to fire things up a little bit up in here. In a good way. The football talk here has been truly subpar at best, and it needs to get better.
I'll start by saying this: I have NEVER been more embarrassed to be a Chiefs fan than I am these days. King Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards has effectively run this team right into the ground. The personnel decisions these two clowns have made in the past two years just kill me. The fact that Herm actually believed that he could build this football team around Brodie Croyle completely floors me, and should be a fireable offense. The kid has been injury prone since he first stepped onto a football field, and why would the NFL be any different for him, especially with this sham of an offensive line that KC rolls out on the field with every Sunday.
Larry Johnson: Where do I begin with him? Let's start with his off-field problems. Dude's track record with the opposite sex right about now isn't very good. Having said that, I think he finally got the message this week now that Herm suspended him for a 2nd game and that the NFL will probably follow suit. Why ANY broad would even approach this guy with his background is beyond me- maybe the bitch deserved it, maybe shs didn't, but Dude had best stay down in public settings for the foreseeable future if he values his endorsements and his big contract that he will NEVER get from anybody else. On the field, he needs to check his attitude at the door and start carrying himself like professional....you know, like Tony Gonzalez does each and every day. Tony is far and away the hardest working player on this team- he's usually the first guy at practice, and he's usually the last to leave. LJ needs to adopt Tony's work ethic and philosophy if he really wants to be considered by his fans and his peers as a "superstar" in this league.
Defense: How Gunther Cunningham still has a job in this league is a complete mystery to me. This blowhard jackass made his name with Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith blasting enemy QBs on a weekly basis.....TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO. There IS talent on this defense, but Gunther has no clue how to use it. His blitzes are predictable, he coaches his DBs to play WAY off the WRs, and more often than not the safeties lose contain or generally have no idea who to cover or what side of the field they need to be on. I'll give Herm a pass on this- I'd guess that if it were up to him Gunther would've been gone when he got hired two years ago. Gunther has no use for the "Tampa 2" defense, and it shows with the performance (or lack thereof) of his defense.
Feel free to entertain a civil discussion on this topic....I'm not in the mood to ankle-bite or have it done to me at this point. You guys are better than that, and it's high time we get back to that place again on this board. As for you Mods, you do what you feel you have to do, but I'm all about the pigskin. The extra-curricular crap bores me to tears anymore.
