KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- One by one, from every corner of the locker room, Kansas City's players repeated the same line when the topic turned to teammate Dwayne Bowe: "No comment."
Chiefs coach Todd Haley took a similar mum's-the-word approach, calling his flamboyant receiver's latest distraction "an internal matter."
No one, at least inside the organization, wants to talk about Bowe's story, the one he told to ESPN the Magazine for last week's edition. He said teammates arranged for women they met on social networking sites to meet them at a hotel during a road trip to San Diego in 2007, his rookie season.
Calling it "importing," Bowe said the women were flown in three or four days in advance and took up the entire floor of the hotel. He said the women knew just about everything about the players.
I like the way the Chiefs are handling this. Nobody is talking to the media and Haley says he just wants to move on to the upcoming season. I won't be suprised to see Bowe dumped at some point during TC. He's already had a few incidents and has been a bust to date.

I don't see what the big deal is as this is a common theme among athletes or celebrities in general. I hope pats fans aren't shocked if they were to hear some Pats players doing the same thing.

Someone should ask former legendary players coach Herm Edwards wtf was happening on his watch...but since he's a mediot now they probably won't. I have a feeling Ty Law's cousin probably knew all about this too...
I read about this last week and it's not exactly surprising news but Mr. Bowe already has a bad rap with Haley and this isn't exactly going to earn him any extra points.

It really hadn't been the case with football players except on a few badboy teams like the Cowboys until fairly recently, as in the last decade, mostly because they are only away overnight 8 weeks a season and their wives be waitin' at home and their contracts aren't guaranteed. It's been the rule rather than the exception in the NBA for a long time and to a lesser extent in MLB because of the time spent on the road and the guaranteed contracts.
Teams can't stop a guy intent on behaving like a jackass on the road from doing whatever he wishes to, but they can punish or even cut him if it effects the team via his play or bad PR (see Roethlisberger, Ben). What happened here is more problematic because it's elevated to an organized pattern of behavior that put the entire team and the organization at risk.
That said, there should be a stupidity clause in these rookie contracts...it would save a lot of teams a bundle on braindead supposed talents like Bowe.

I don't have a problem with what they were doing at all. As long is it was consensual then who am I to tell them who to sleep with and how to spend their money? It's more of a problem, IMO, that Bowe opened his mouth about it to the media. He should have known that this story was going to be a lightning rod and, because of it, he's provided a potentially huge distraction to the locker room. That's why I wouldn't be suprised to see the Chiefs cut him. He's not good enough for the headaches he's caused them.

He claims it was his rookie year which was 2007 and that was the year KC won in San Diego 30-17... Considering their record the last few years, they ought to try anything that gets them victories......
Though the married guys are the ones who will likely get the third degree......
OT: Bowe's story has Chiefs in lockdown
