We have a consensus winner in this week’s “You pick it” feature.
Readers liked the story that saw receiver Chris Chambers be cut from San Diego on Monday and claimed by division rival Kansas City on Tuesday. The other storylines were Kansas City running back Larry Johnson being suspended for one game by the team for using gay slurs and allegations by women that Oakland coach Tom Cable physically abused them in the past.
While the Johnson and Cable stories could potentially develop further, I agree with the readers that the Chambers’ story is the tale of the week. I always like it when the big story is related to the field and this was big for both San Diego and Kansas City. The Chiefs have desperately been looking for veteran receiver help, and perhaps Chambers, who struggled this season, will be the answer.
Below are some of your responses. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Jason from Kansas City: It’s the Chambers’ story. Chris Chambers being cut from the Chargers and picked up by AFC West rival Kansas City is big. He could be the answer we’ve been looking for all season at the position.
Brad from KC: The Larry Johnson story is big because he may have played his last down as a Chief. There is a chance the team will handle this like the Eagles handled Terrell Owens his last year there.
Steve Sibiski from Oceanside, Calif.: Chambers to KC is the story of the week. Can he repeat what he was able to accomplish in SD? He brought stability and good work ethic that helped in the development of the SD wr's.
Nick from Nebraska: This week's headline would have to be Chambers going to Kansas City, because he could be a big-play wideout that the Chiefs desperately need. I know most people will probably say the Cable allegations, but I don't see much coming out of those because it isn't something that just happened. All that happened was we found out about it.
