sblueman Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Source: NBC Affiliate in KC [ Full Article ] At 10 PM Central NBC News led off with a story about news on RB Priest Holmes. Jack Harry, Sports Director for that station reported that he spoke with two higher sources within the Chiefs organization and they have said that Priest Holmes indeed may retire as early as tomorrow. In Florida today, Holmes was getting a 3rd opinion on the hit he took from SD DE Shawn Merriman two weeks ago. Apparently what has been found is a lump on or within Priest's spine and if he were to take one more big hit, he could face paralysis.

Unfortunately for us Larry Brown is a hell of a back.
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Sorry to hear that- he is a class act and great talent. Unfortunately for us Larry Brown is a hell of a back. 498364[/snapback] Brown??? Dammit i thought he was coaching the Knicks. But with our run d he could probably run up at least a hundred on us.
Corp000085 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I wish him well, however this leads the door open for the bills coaching staff to screw up the obvious hole in the chiefs attack (see past examples of the falcons and saints with their 92 missing starting defensive backs). edit: when will a real news agency pick this story up?
Nanker Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 If he were Tedy Bruschi he'd play through it. But of course, he's no Tedy Bruschi. No one is, except of course THE Tedy Bruschi. That's the important lesson we learned from listening and watching the national media the past three weeks boys and girls, now isn't it?
SouthernMan Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Brown??? Dammit i thought he was coaching the Knicks. But with our run d he could probably run up at least a hundred on us. 498366[/snapback] I still have a clear memory in 1972 when OJ was fighting it out for the NFL rushing title with the Redskins Larry Brown. That was OJs first rushing title and his first season under Louu Saban. He gained (if I remember correctly) 1,251 yards and the following year had 2.003. I can't believe Brown is still playing 33 seasons later. Still, he's no Tedy.
MooGoo Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Sorry to hear that- he is a class act and great talent. Unfortunately for us Larry Brown is a hell of a back. 498364[/snapback] Larry Brown???? Who??
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Sorry to hear that- he is a class act and great talent. Unfortunately for us Larry Brown is a hell of a back. 498364[/snapback] That's Johnson, bud.

This smells of BS to me. I will believe it when a reputable source runs the story.

Clockwork Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Wow. All the best to Holmes. That really sucks, but injuries are a part of the game. I guess its better to walk away now instead of roll the dice on paralysis.
apuszczalowski Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Well that sucks for Holmes, he was an awesome RB But this news would be great for the Bills if True
