Eric Winston stands behind his comments: “It was obvious to me”

PLAYERS: Eric Winston
TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs
Eric Winston knows what he saw and heard, and he’s not backing down. Winston came to the defense of Matt Cassell when after suffering a concussion; the crowd seemed to cheer his injury. In an eloquent post game speech to the media, Winston gracefully gave his insight and disgust for the Kansas City fans. We love when he said, “Were football players not gladiators.” It seems Kansas City fan see it differently. Afterwards fans seem to make a lot of excuses, “It was after a first down.” Here’s a good one, “They were cheering about Brady Quinn.” Well, if you’re cheering for Quinn then it’s a forgone conclusion about Cassell. Have you seen Quinn play? Winston spoke about the backlash on KILT in Houston with Josh Innes and Rich Lord. “That’s the way it goes. I’ve said my peace. I told everybody yesterday that I was done talking about it, and I am. I’ve said what I felt like I needed to say and what needed to be said and that’s really it. I understand everyone’s not going to agree wit

A Look At Dumb, Drunken NFL Fan Debauchery

Via 60 Max Power O  |  October 09, 2012
Eric Winston is really bent out of shape over Chiefs fans cheering the injury to a fallen Matt Cassel last Sunday. Perhaps Winston shouldn’t be so quick to jump to conclusions. Maybe fans were happy that action had stopped and they were no longer being tortured by watching Cassel and Super Joe Flacco set back quarterbacking by 15 years. Let’s assume Winston is right though and...

The Chiefs' Fans and Matt Cassel: Cheering Gone Wrong

Via Football Nation  |  October 09, 2012
Matt Cassel has not been playing football very well for the Chiefs this year. In fact, let’s call a spade a spade. Matt Cassel kind of sucks this year. When he was knocked out of the game due to a concussion last Sunday, many fans breathed a sigh of relief that their interception and fumble laden quarterback was out of the game. This is a natural reaction; if the Chiefs coaches...

“Highly Unlikely” Matt Cassel plays In week 6

Via 60 Max Power O  |  October 09, 2012
Although Matt Cassel (concussion) has yet to be ruled out for Week 6, coach Romeo Crennel says it’s “highly unlikely” he plays against the Bucs. With the Chiefs on bye in Week 7, it appears they prefer to give Cassel two weeks of rest instead of rushing him back. Of course, the fact that Cassel’s play was screaming for a benching before his injury is surely a factor. As it...
