Chiefs Coach, Dwayne Bowe Had 'Long Conversation'

While the Chiefs are officially employing the "No comment" line to reporters, Todd Haley was asked about Dwayne Bowe's comments today on the Jim Rome Show.

"Uh, Jim, I appreciate the question," he said, "and I know that's kinda been the hot topic here yesterday and today. But I'm going to stick to things that have occurred on my watch and keep it at that."

The story in question took place in 2007 -- before Haley and GM Scott Pioli took over -- so Haley's response is reasonable, I think.

Like a good interviewer, Rome asked another question of Haley after he said he didn't want to talk about it. He asked if he had talked to Bowe about the story in question.

"Yeah, I actually did," Haley said. "I had a long conversation [with Bowe] last night. But, again, the details of that conversation, as I hold as my policy, will stay between Dwayne and I. But definitely something that, I think, if you don't at least talk about it, [that] would probably be a mistake."

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. The question at this point is if the Chiefs will take any action against him. According to Haley's "stick to things that have occurred on my watch" comments, I think action from the Chiefs side may be unlikely.

We will never hear from Bowe again.

Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.

why would anyone punish Bowe

for telling a true story? a story in which Bowe himself really did nothing bad?

Bringing a negative light on the organization

After LJ, I’d imagine the Chiefs are sensitive about this sorta stuff.

Bowe will get punished on the field by pissed off defensive players

whose significant others now have trust issues.

Left Tackle is Brandon Albert's natural position.

Exactly how I called it

Distancing themselves from the previous regime. Perfectly done. Sure they talked to Bowe, he’s a headline in the media, so they had to. But outstanding job by Haley. Let Herm deal with it.

The conversation

Haley: “Bowe you know know you’re not very good at speaking right? Let’s just agree that your speaking privledges have been revoked.”

Bowe: “Ok Coach.”

Haley: “WTF DID I JUST TELL YOU ABOUT SPEAKING?!?!?”

Side not to Joel

is it possible to get the Haley audio from Rome on AP? I know rome charges for his podcasts.

i wanted to record it this morning at work, but typing out the whole transcript is no bueno with the tasks I have to do :P

Other Arenas wish they could be like Arrowhead Stadium as it prepares to turn a new Page on Chiefs legacy. Rivals think they are going to be fine on a island of Flowers, but when they get hit by what feels like a Carr, they'll never be able to eat a Berry ever again.

Tasks?!

You have one task and that’s transcribe radio interviews for AP.

Got it?

By conversation he means....

Bowe sat there and Haley yelled at him.

Heard most of the interview...

Not a huge fan of Rome, but I thought it was classy of him to ask Haley about the VFW work at the end.

I'm trying to figure out how this "no homo" disclaimer works

Let me at least hazard a guess: say that two cowboys in the sequel to Brokeback Mountain roll out of a tent after a flurry of lonely experimentation and self-discovery, and their fingers are crossed. They look at each other, and simultaneously say, “No homo.” That makes this NOT a gay cowboy movie, right?

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

by burntorangehorn on May 20, 2010 7:22 PM CDT reply actions  

You can call "no homo"

But it can be overridden. A consensus from any other guys who heard the comment or witnessed the act can say “total homo”. The “no homo” clause can be found in Man-Laws.

What if their fingers were crossed the whole time?

It works for birth control, so why not?

Incidentally, I have thirteen children.

I'm thinking

that Bowe is probably making a very good case for Haley and Pioli that he is not part of the right 53.
I could care less about what he said, what happened or what didn’t happen. This just shows his character (or lack thereof) and that he’s still more about himself and promoting himself than being part of a team.
I can’t see Haley getting rid of him for his comments nor the team disciplining him because there is no reason to. But, if the right offer were to come along…buh-buoy D-Bowe!

Just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys.
