Priest Holmes Makes The Rounds
Former Kansas City Chiefs RB Priest Holmes is making the media rounds today promoting the "Kraft Fight Hunger" program he's involved with. (More info on that here.) Priest was on here in KC with Nick Wright of 610 Sports (Update: and 810 WHB in KC) and immediately after on SiriusXM and after listening to both interviews, I came away with a couple observations.
First, this guy is a salesman. Both Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan mentioned he could sell just about anything. Again, because Priest said so, here's the obligatory mention of Kraft Fight Hunger's Facebook page.
Second, on a couple of occasions he said "we" when talking about the Chiefs before quickly correcting himself to "they". He knows he's still a Chief.
And, speaking of being a Chief for a long time, Nick Wright opened with a really good question: When is he going into the Chiefs Hall of Fame?
"You know what," Priest said, "that's something that is actually decided on without my ballot. Because if it had my ballot, I would have already elected myself to go into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. It's something I'm pretty sure is right around corner. It just takes a few of those board members to kind of find out what's important to them and select me to be in there."

Priest Holmes was a beast...
He made getting into the endzone look easy. The O-line was incredible and Trent Green would throw some blocks.
Check this one out… Priest Holmes Superman. Be patient.
He was so fun too watch.

I loved his 5-second hang time flights over the goal line pile.
When you gotta go in the lion's den, you don't go quiet. You go in loud, kick the door down and say WHERE IS THE SONUVABITCH. -B. Billick

Is the face that no one is cheering because he did it so friggin often. Miss you Priest!

Wow, what arrogance.
Because if it had my ballot, I would have already elected myself to go into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. It’s something I’m pretty sure is right around corner.
NOT part of the Right Fifty-Three. Am I right?

Agreed.
Priest is probably my favorite running back ever.

Brsrkr, recheck the definition of arrogance.
Having pride in one’s ability and accomplishments, and saying so, is not a flaw in one’s character. If I had a vote, I would have already voted for Priest to be in the Chiefs’ Hall of Fame. He deserves to be there!

seriously?
Priest Holmes deserves everything that the Chiefs can dish out. He played with heart, unselfishness and was a bad ass. Our whole team should take notes on how to conduct ones self as a chiefs alumni.
Love my man Priest!
I still remember how excited I was when I heard the Chiefs signed him…I’d been watching him in Baltimore and couldn’t believe they let him sit on the bench after his knee was healed.
He was the man!!
I'm dressin my voodoo doll in stripes every season...
They Need to make this man the Running Back Coach
There is no other that know how to get into the end zone like he did
and that man was so hard to bring down
I really think he could fly too some of those TD leaps were redic.
