People never cease to amaze me anymore. Just when you think you know some things would NEVER happen... the universe always finds a way to prove you wrong.
Kansas City WR Dwayne Bowe spoke some telling revelations to ESPN The Magazine recently, regarding his teammates and certain "activities" they take part of while traveling for away games. Here's what Bowe had to say:
"My rookie year, we were playing in San Diego," Bowe says. "You hear stories about groupies hanging out in hotel lobbies, but some of my teammates had it set up so there was a girl in every room. The older guys get on MySpace and Facebook a week before we go to a city; when a pretty one writes back, they arrange to fly her in three or four days in advance. They call it importing.
"Younger guys don't have the money to do it," Bowe added. "Anyway, these girls had the whole top floor. They know everything about us -- first and last names, sisters and brothers, salary. This one girl was talking to me like she'd known me for years. 'Hey, D-Bowe, how's Grandma?' I'm like, 'How do you know my grandma?' She knew that I talk about her every time I'm interviewed for a story.
"I told her I had a girlfriend, but she didn't care. She was wearing my jersey, sitting in my lap, making it look like we knew each other. Then she took a picture and put it on Facebook. That almost got me in trouble."
WOW!
First things first, while I'm sure no one is actually surprised of these tales, what is the point in actually making them public? I was always taught that the NFL is similar to a fraternity. Guys look out for each other and have a brotherhood that is similar to being frat brothers. Not only did he rat out fellow NFL players, but these are guys on his OWN TEAM! Guys that he has to practice with, play with, room with... everything. He's totally become the locker room snitch with telling such stories. Where I come from, we had a saying, "Snitches get stitches." I wonder how long Bowe will stay "healthy" this season?? I wouldn't be shocked if a teammate puts a little extra "hot sauce" on a contact drill, come training camp.
Second, did anyone find it humorous that he tried to clean up his own personal encounter? Sure, he told us the girl was waiting for him in his jersey, sat on his lap and started spilling all she knew about him. But he also stated that he told her he had a girlfriend.
I don't know about you, but I'm willing to bet that there aren't many Tim Tebow's in the NFL, Bowe included. Funny how his own story pretty much stops at a picture being posted on Facebook, but he went into a little more detail of the "operations" of other players. Yeah.......okay.
And finally, not once did he think about the position his put his teammates in when it comes to their homes. Now, let me say this before I get tons of emails: I DO NOT CONDONE SUCH ACTIONS STATED BY MR. BOWE!!!! What these players have been accused of doing is WRONG, especially if they have a wife and children at home. Cheating isn't cool (unless you have an open relationship. But that's another topic for another day). But let's think about the guys who don't partake in such activities for one second. Because Bowe has put this out there, this could have planted a seed of insecurity in just about every girlfriend/wife of a Chiefs player. The guys out here that are actually faithful to their spouses and significant others now have to go through scrutiny and reassurance of being faithful, all because Dwayne Bowe wants to make nice with the media and spill secrets I'm sure players didn't expect to come from one of their own.
Regardless of what was said, Dwayne Bowe was wrong. This is bitchassness at its finest moment.
He turned his back on his teammates, and he's creating unnecessary problems in some players homes. If one wants to tell on themselves, I have no issues with that. But to put your teammates into your story isn't right. As a result of his diarrhea of the mouth, he's received backlash from teammates (guilty ones, maybe??) and head coach Todd Haley had a "long conversation" with Bowe. All predictable due to the fact that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Dwayne Bowe, Sitcho Snitching Azz Down!
