Priest story getting stranger
I kept the Priest Holmes saga out of the Daily Dose, because he's not going to help your fantasy team this season. But the latest in As the Priest Turns is worth noting for Hard Knocks fans and fantasy football historians.
* Holmes skipped Kansas City’s preseason game on Thursday to visit his family. Herm Edwards thought he was at the game.
* On Saturday, Holmes declared himself ready to fully practice.
* Holmes didn’t practice Sunday. Holmes said it was because GM Carl Peterson wasn’t in town and that the team physician wanted to make sure everyone is on the same page . Edwards, on the other hand, said Holmes was cleared to practice. But that a conversation with Holmes led Edwards to believe the veteran wasn’t ready.
So what the heck is going on? My guess is that the Chiefs don’t want to take Holmes off the PUP list because that means they will have to cut him or include him on the roster to start the season. And he’s not making the team. Either that, or Holmes just doesn’t want to play. That’s what Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star has said all along.
