First Day of Work? Why Not Show Up Late
Posted by rich on May 14, 2007
Dwayne Bowe made the one critical mistake that any rookie in the NFL never wants to make; he showed up 30 minutes late to his first practice. Bowe, who was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, described himself as “intimidating” but somehow left out the words “often late” and “apathetic” to describe himself.
If Bowe doesn’t think this is a big issue, he should talk to Cardinals wide receiver Bryant Johnson. Johnson, who was the Cards first round pick in 2003 and can now be considered a bust, had an embarrassing moment of his own when he first signed with the team and began practicing. At least Bowe wasn’t hungover when he showed up to camp. Way to go Bryant.
Bowe, who was touted as one of the top receivers in the class, should bring a major boost to the Chiefs wide receiving corps, a unit that can only be classified as a bunch of no-talent scrubs (except for Tony Gonzalez of course). Bowe’s large physical stature should benefit him in a division loaded with three great defenses in Denver, San Diego, and Oakland. If he has any sort of talent in his system, he should be a one or two receiver immediately on this team.
It’s still unclear as to whether concussion prone and perennial douche bag Trent Green will be traded to the Dolphins this off season. Whether its Green, Damon Huard, or eight year college starter at Alabama Brodie Croyle, Bowe will be a big target to look for. His impact should be felt right away, that is unless he keeps sleeping in and showing up to camp fashionably late.
