I don't fault him for it. He's actually smart for doing it.
prissythecat Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Well since we are in need of help still at tight end, is this the actual reason why trading Kiko for Shady was a bad deal?
Deranged Rhino Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Kiko? Never heard of him. He's a brilliant, but underrated, chef.
bacarri and coke Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 He's a brilliant, but underrated, chef.Haha nice...
Best Player Available Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Well since we are in need of help still at tight end, is this the actual reason why trading Kiko for Shady was a bad deal? Tight end? maybe running back could be worse? between Shady's hamstrng, a overweight promising 2nd year back, a drunken rook. maybe the Ryan Bro's and their visionary expertise should get Kiko back and build a backfield of Kiko and Baby Gronk!
Augie Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 He's a brilliant, but underrated, chef. But what is his depth of knowledge regarding Cuban cuisine. A challenging career move!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Adam Schefter is now reporting that Kiko scored 8 TDs in OTAs, and so Roger Goodell is banning the Dolphins from using him at TE, citing the need to maintain competitive balance. I guess Kiko growled in agreement.
Fadingpain Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 He's a brilliant, but underrated, chef. I hear he can work magic with a can of Campbell's chunky soup.
Utah John Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 My guess is Kiko's one of those guys whose success depends a lot on the scheme he's in. He was usually very good in his rookie season, playing instinctively, but when he guessed wrong it always turned out bad. He lost a year to injury, and got traded. Maybe the Eagles didn't use him so he'd excel, and now he's on his third team. He always seemed like a good guy, a real football player but not a jerk. I don't think the Fins are going anywhere this year so I feel safe in wishing Kiko well.
John from Riverside Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I know Kiko is on another team now but damn I feel bad for the kid. Talk about highest of highs from being drafted and runner up rookie of the year to where he is now.
GaryPinC Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Here's the original article which goes into Kiko's story for those interested to actually hear it. Must not like English or talking to U.S. reporters! http://espn.go.com/blog/onenacion/post/_/id/4607/kiko-alonso-prepares-for-a-new-beginning-with-the-dolphins Interesting that he just wants to be the middle linebacker. Should be interesting to see if he can take on those NFL O-linemen. Edited July 15, 2016 by GaryPinC

Talk about highest of highs from being drafted and runner up rookie of the year to where he is now. Making millions playing football? I was laughed at the time but after the most amazing start to a career I can remember, he was bad for the last 10 games of his rookie year. Word on the street is he isn't the most motivated guy in the world either. But we got a Pro Bowl rb for him so it worked out great.

LB3 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 You all need to relax and gain some perspective. Kiko is an incredible humanitarian. In just one season, he did more to raise awareness and tolerance of parking lot bj's than anyone here has in their entire lives. Before Kiko, a bj was something done behind closed doors or in a dark alley behind a bar. Now, people can do it in broad daylight with pride. Show some respect.
#34fan Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Didn't he play both ways at intervals in Oregon?... I dunno... Could be dangerous at this position.
