Poor Herm Edwards

Everybody is feeling sorry for Herm Edwards. The poor guy doesn't know his future and can't look for other jobs. (Which we don't even know is true for sure.) ESPN and the local sports talk guys say it's not fair. I say Hogwash! (Always wanted to use that word.) The guy is still getting paid by the Chiefs and getting paid a pile of money at that. As long as he's getting paid by them, he should be working for them ... even if the future plans don't include him. Scott Pioli's goal should be to do whatever is in the best interest of the Chiefs, not what is in the best interest of Herm Edwards and certainly not what is in the best interest of the media.

It must be rough. He is getting paid a bunch to do less work with the only requirement that he remain quiet for a while. He will get paid for next year and there is a good chance he won't even have to work it. What in the world is unfair about that?!!

By the way, he could always quit, and look for another job if he was really that concerned about it. Oh ya, but that means he wouldn't get paid by the Chiefs for next year.

In all fairness, Herm hasn't complained at all ... this isn't really directed at him, but at the people out there crying over his terribly difficult situation. I just hope someday I could be blessed with that same terribly difficult situation - that would be really cool.
