Hammered a Lot Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 This smells of BS to me. I will believe it when a reputable source runs the story. 498411[/snapback] Like gr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 He went from being Ricky Williams blocking FB at Texas to a great back in his own right. Reminds me of Franco Harris, who blocked for Lydell Mitchell at Penn St. and then became a star in the NFL . KC is fortunate to have another star to take his place in Larry Johnson.

BADOLBILZ Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Source: NBC Affiliate in KC [ Full Article ] At 10 PM Central NBC News led off with a story about news on RB Priest Holmes. Jack Harry, Sports Director for that station reported that he spoke with two higher sources within the Chiefs organization and they have said that Priest Holmes indeed may retire as early as tomorrow. In Florida today, Holmes was getting a 3rd opinion on the hit he took from SD DE Shawn Merriman two weeks ago. Apparently what has been found is a lump on or within Priest's spine and if he were to take one more big hit, he could face paralysis. 498353[/snapback] The sound of that hit was something I've not heard before. A wicked popping noise. That Merriman is a ton of bricks and Holmes didn't see it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachChuckDickerson Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Well that sucks for Holmes, he was an awesome RB But this news would be great for the Bills if True 498438[/snapback] The Chiefs can basically run at will but LJ does have they only two 100 yard rushing performances by a KC back this season.

BuffOrange Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Brown??? Dammit i thought he was coaching the Knicks. But with our run d he could probably run up at least a hundred on us. 498366[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BackInDaDay Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I still have a clear memory in 1972 when OJ was fighting it out for the NFL rushing title with the Redskins Larry Brown. 498388[/snapback] Thanks for the memory. Our boy McDole did well on that team - George Allen's "Over the Hill Gang". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Brown was a supurb running back. Lucky 'Skins - then they had Riggins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preist has been one of the best backs in the league for the last couple of years. Hopefully he'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckeechief Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Here's what I know: The KC press conference had Chiefs GM Carl Peterson say Priest Holmes will be put on IR, but did not say anything else about Priest's medical condition. Here's what I think: Priest has been getting second and third opinions on a growth in his lower back (on his spine). While checking Priest's concussion, I think the doctors found something else. When I hear anything about a growth, I think of a tumor and/or cancer. Larry Johnson will be the starter. The Chiefs have worked out Tatum Bell (again) and I think they signed RB Dee Brown off a practice squad (possibly its own). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
