Handshake Question

Haley was a hothead a-hole with the Cardinals and remains so with the Chiefs in my opinion. We have been struggling and if you will remember, the CLASSY thing to do would be to take your medicine like a man as we did against the Raiders when they spanked us. McDaniels went over and shook the hand of Coach Cable if I remember correctly.
Make no excuses for classless behavior from a head coach like Haley…

There was nothing going on the sideline that would cause offense. I don’t care if the players were celebrating or not, nothing like that should be enough to ‘enrage’ an opposing coach. It’s Mr. Haley that needs to take a lesson in humility not the Denver Broncos. Besides, I think the team deserved to blow off some steam and celebrate a win.

Bottom line, who give a flying fidoo what the hell Haley thinks. He’s a classless act and is now trying to cover up what appeared to be an emotionally charged face off with the opposing coach.

From what I see, it’s the coach from one division rival not reciprocating the courtesies of another division rival coach is showing. He may dislike it, he may hate the loss, and no doubt, what McDaniel did was classy, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a division rival.

I mean, seriously, you wrote up a long piece about how Broncos fans hate the Raiders and how McDaniels didn’t understand that hatred (not the author of this fanpost, mind). When another division coach shows the kind of hatred or anger you expect out of your coach and players for a third team in the division, you call it classless? Guys, I call that divisional rivalry and that kind of anger Haley displayed, I really wish I could see from other coaches as well in this age of public relations.

I’d certainly hate Marvin Lewis a lot less if he showed some sort of spark or emotion and especially bitterness towards other teams in the division. Too bad he’s an ex-Squeelers coach and no one can forget the 2000 Ravens defense.

Apparently KC radio was reporting that McD had taunted some KC players after the game was over.

Todd Haley couldn’t find his pacifier.

As far as “earning it”, Kansas City has earned nothing over the past 5 or 6 years. Congratulations, you’ve won 5 games after winning like 6 in 60.

might be a huge conspiracy that we all don’t know about. I mean do we really know our coaches? Do we socialize with them? Do we know every last call, email, or what they do in public? Maybe, McD started a fight with Haley or a bet and went to the middle of the field to gloat about it…Maybe they are doing it for publicity….Maybe they just hate eachother. Who cares? The last three games we played Haley vs McDaniels each winner has put up a 40 point day. It is rivalry along with a bunch of crap that we know nothing about. If my worst enemy wanted to shake my hand do I care what people will think if I don’t want to do it? I could care less about class at that point no matter the circumstances. Good luck on your remaining weeks and I look forward to the next game where we will put up 40 points to make it 2-2 in the Haley-McDaniels era.

I really could care less about what Haley did. Denver got a much needed win and in a convincing fashion nonetheless. However, I would be pissed as well if the replay system didnt work for our team. I’m not blaming the Broncos or McDaniels for that matter, but the NFl needs to adopt a system where the replay system gets shut off for the remainder of the game or something along those lines (like the head set rule). Its kinda brutal that in the year 2010 there are still problems like that. Maybe the NFL should copy the NHL and have a centralized command center where problems like this could be passed onto.

If you are up 35 to zip in the fourth quarter and still go all out to add points, THAT is running up the score. If you are up by 35 points while still in the second quarter, you can’t stop playing with more than half the game to go. Furthermore, Denver “only” scored 14 points in the second half (vs Kansas City’s 19). That can hardly be considered running up the score. What possible alternative is there? You can’t run out the clock, so the only option would be to hand the ball over when you have run out of real estate. Besides being unthinkable, that would be giving the shaft to your fans, who have come and paid in expectation of watching your best efforts.

I think Haley is somewhat bitter that he wasn’t looked at for the Broncos position and I think he is still pissed that we ran the score up last year in their house.

I was somewhat surprised that the starters were still in there in the 4th quarter, I was actully hoping they would give Tebow some time. And I can see his point somewhat, but the bottom line is that this is the NFL, if you don’t like what the other team is doing, then stop them.
