Former Chief Bobby Sippio Returns To HBO's Hard Knocks

The Kansas City Chiefs were on HBO's Hard Knocks in 2007 after they came off of a somewhat surprising playoff appearance the year before. Hard Knocks wasn't kind to the Chiefs that year as KC went on to win just four games in 2007.

One of the memories from that season of Hard Knocks was getting to know WR Bobby Sippio, who earned a camp invite to the Chiefs after an impressive performance in the Arena Football League. He became a bit of a legend in training camp because of AFL performances (and that was probably unfair but that's another topic for another day).

HBO's Hard Knocks didn't happen this year because of logistical issues following the lockout -- and it seemed like every team in the league turned down an invite -- so Hard Knocks is doing a "Where Are They Now?" series with some of the former Hard Knocks stars, which includes...

The Hard Knocks special will air on HBO Aug. 31.

I am surprised not one team took advantage of Hard Knocks this season...

as far as Bobby Sippio goes…

"My skills are so good, I can win tournaments. I already do. But football is my main focus right now. Fishing is just my hobby on the side. But I still have my ambitions of being a professional fisherman because I can grow old still fishing. I can’t play football until I’m 40 or 50 years old."~ Bobb Sippio

So, how is that fishing going?

meh...

Fresh, delicious food.

The Chiefs and I have mutually agreed on this decision and although I look forward to continuing my career, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Kansas City.

I was watching some reruns of the Chiefs Hard Knocks season.

I was watching NFL Network on the treadmill at the gym and that season is painful to watch.

Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
