Seeing this clip, I totally understand how and why Eric Winston became the head of the players' association a couple years after this. Very compassionate, intelligent, and just all around a class act. 2012 was a really rough year for the Chiefs for many reasons, but everyone was trying their hardest
I am glad he stood up for his quarterback. He sends a resounding message about the sad state of people's attitude towards others misfortunes. Way to go Eric , it's nice to see an athlete standup for something greater than a game. That's a real man!
Mr. Winston, and I don't say this lightly, you are a gentlemen and a scholar. KUDOS to you for handling that situation with character and poise. And if you are a brother in Christ I salute you.
Did yal even watch that game? The fans were DEFINITELY cheering when Cassell got hurt, and thats WHY they were cheering. I sat there and saw it myself. As he got hurt, everyone was cheering loud as mofo. As he was on the ground, they were CHEERING. As he was walking off, they were cheering. I mean, its ridiculous.
I love Kansas City, but sometimes the media and people disgust me. I never met my grandfather who wrote for the Kansas City Star, but I remember every person at his funeral who told me that he always had something nice to say about the athletes on both teams. Whether they won or lost.
I understand where he is coming from and the point he is trying to make is good in a general sense but if you watch the replay of matt cassel's injury the crowd sounds like they are cheering for the first down they just got.
+Aaron Ray Cassel tried his best in KC. Nobody ever accused him of being lazy or not trying or being a bad teammate. He just didn't have what it took to be a NFL quarterback. Plus, he led us to our last division title. So he's far from the worst QB in team history.
Matt Cassell won 10 of the 15 games he started in New England... they ended up being the first 11-5 team not to make the playoffs... he definitely has what it takes to start in the NFL, just not on KC
Winston then just jumps to the conclusion when the fans cheered its because of Cassel getting hurt. When in fact it was the fans reacting to Brady Quinn going into the game. There is a reason Winston has been released by 2 teams in 2 years. He is the type of guy who causes controversy when it is not needed. The fact that he attacked the fans shows the inability to realize you don't bite the hand that feeds you. The Chiefs were already having a horrible season and Winston just made it worse.
He was trying not to so hard too. Winston may not be one of the most elegant speakers in the world, but he gets his point across with his passion and his beliefs.
Being a fan of the game doesn't make you a savage. Just because they, according to you, "pay him," it doesn't render the action of "respect" obsolete. Winston is a lot closer to Cassel than you are, and he obviously felt the need to defend him. You have to remember, NFL players are people too, and should be respected as much as everyone else.
Speaking as a Texans fan, you got yourself a good player. He may not be the best right tackle now, but he is an intelligent man. Plus, he's a great media star. At least he was in Houston.
(continued) the crowd always hushs after an injury in EVERY OTHER football injury i have seen ov tv or live. KC didn't hush, KC got louder. You can try defending it all you want but if you have a brain you know better. Funny thing is, Cassel is the fall guy for the COACHING issues in KC anyway. Look how he played for mr. Bill in NE.
This is utterly ridiculous. I'm a huge Cassell fan. He has had a bad year thus far but them losing is not all his fault. People should be ashamed. I'm a Chiefs fan now to show the "real" Chiefs fans how fans should really act.
I have a relative from KC and he says kind of the same things. The Royals and Chiefs have been bad for a long time. I understand your frustration, as a Vikings fan.
I agree with almost everything he said except... as a fan, I put up with the high ticket prices, high parking prices, unreal food and beverage prices, strikes, taxes for new stadiums, and players bitching they're underpaid. I don't put up with all this so players can TRY. I expect players paid elite salaries to PERFORM at an ELITE level. This is certainly not the case concerning Matt Cassel since he not performing anywhere near his salary, but it doesn't entitle a fan to boo any injured player.
that's not the right way to deal with that frustration. you don't cheer when someone gets hurt. you boo them when they make a bad play, or cost you the game, or whatever. but you dont cheer when they get fucked up. it's a total lack of class.
I agree 100% with Eric Winston here. It's not gladiators and its not right to be cheering for a guy getting hurt. I manage jv football for 5 seasons and it ain't right to be cheering about someone getting hurt.
@toodrivetodrunk1 you nor Eric Winston are very smart. The fans had no idea Matt C. was "knocked out" they were cheering because of the 1st down. They did knowNatt
Eric Winston is totally right. In the end athletes are humans and getting injured can ruin their health and lives. We also have to remember they have family and kids and friends that care for them and don't want to see them injured. Even though they make millions of dollars it's hard to enjoy those millions if you can barely move your limbs or your out with a concussion and can't perform the everyday tasks normal healthy people can do.
I think this dude misunderstood what the fans were cheering for & made everything blow up about it. From the footage I saw, they were cheering the team getting a 1st down, then went silent when they realized someone got hurt. Then they cheered the fact he was able walk away. Take it from a racing fan; When we see drivers crash, most of us tend to freak out due to past events. When we see them walk away, then we cheer the fact that they are ok. If Carl Edwards broke his arm, would I cheer? No.
Remember it's the fans who make this game possible. So when you attack them publicly it's like you're attacking the fuel that makes the NFL run. Winston is aloud to have his opinions and to speak his mind. But when you attack the people who make the game and your extravagant life possible, you come off as a dissociating fatuous man. I love football and it's an honor to play it as a profession. So it's also important to remember who makes that dream possible..... The fans!!:)
he's 100% right...also some of you need to quit being so defensive he did say "IF you were cheering" and "we have a lot of problems as a society, IF we think that's ok"...if you're not a fault you shouldn't feel guilty
It's more sickening that it took a hit to finally sit Castle down. He wasn't getting the job done and the coach kept him in. Just like in Miami when the fans wanted Chad Henne out but Sporano kept him in until he finally got injured and replaced by Matt Moore. Get well soon Castle but Winston doesn't have a point.
They weren't even looking at Cassel. They were for cheering Jamal Charles' 16 yard first down upfield, and I'll bet many didn't even see Cassell back there. And they didn't have the benefit of the announcers pointing him out. This is a bogus story.
most of these comments are ridiculous. Football players know the risk they take when they take the field. While i agree that it was reprehensible for the fans to cheer when Cassel got injured (yes, the fans were cheering because of cassel and not the first down) the KC ownership deserves part of the blame for this happening. They've continually refused to even give Quinn a chance in games that were out of hand to give the fans what they think they want.
his last words "we have a lot of problems as a society if people think thats ok" are so fucking true they should put that on the nightly news worldwide
I was following the game on Gamecast and isaw that Cassel was injured on the play i immediately was like alright Quinn is coming in. Then i saw the video of the injury and was like man i hope he's alright cause it was clearly a head injury not nothing to play with. I just wanted Cassel benched but clearly Crennel wasnt gonna let that happen.
Players from both teams sai that they were cheering for the injury,along with other media outlets.Of course fans will say they weren't but let's be honest you cheer for a first down when you get it not 1-2 minutes after...
UFC fighters decide to be part of UCF because they enjoy being put in those situations and want to be fighting, while NFL players don't want to be in that situation.... I have a lot of respect for both sports
He's worked hard to earn it. All of these people have. You could say the same about any entertainer, whether it be an athlete on a professional sports team, an actor on television or in a movie, or someone who sings songs. Your argument falls flat on its face because people like you turn right around and fund the very folks you bash. And you know it.
What does Eric Winston know about hard economic times? He gets paid millions to protect his QB, but on both the Texans and Chiefs he has miss blocks that have caused his QB to miss the rest of the season. Then Eric Winston attacks the fans because he cant do his job? The fans were cheering because the Chiefs had not even held a lead until half way through the season. Then Cassel goes down because Winston failed to do his job and the fans cheered when the JumboTron showed Brady Quinn warming up.
And he's right! Never, ever cheer for somebody that's injured! What he just said was "That's Crazy" And this is not the Roman Coliseum or Rome! They're NFL Players & Not Gladiators!
I think any fan would cheer if there was a change made that could inspire hope. Brady Quinn going in was a cheer for hope not a cheer because Cassel was hurt. Then Winston attacks the fans who pay HIM MILLIONS of dollars because the fans cheered when Brady Quinn was stepping into the game. I'm sure Winston was just distracted because he was thinking, "Oh man I missed ANOTHER block that caused my QB to go down!".
Wow. I didn't want to believe that fans could be this despicable, but having read some of these comments, it's pretty clear who the bad guys are in this situation....... Philadelphia has more class than this. instead of listening to his message, there are threats of retribution? I'd be ashamed to be a chiefs fan right now. Everyone has a poor image of this teams fans. Id be working to restore that image. A losing record is thing.... This is much worse.
You Dont know what happened, the fans were cheering a change in Quarterback, Brady Quinn was on the field less than 20 yards from cassel taking snaps thats what they cheered for. they cheered for a replacement that should have happend two or three games ago. If coach crennel would do his job and take out a joke for a qb this would have never happened.
He said 70,000 people were cheering. Um no. I was there. Maybe like 5,000 drunk people tops. This is ridiculously blown out of proportion. People started cheering when Brady Quinn put his helmet on. Thanks for throwing all of Chiefs Nation under the bus Winston. PS- learn to block your man and Cassel never would have been on the ground in the first place.
Very simply said...if you are a true football fan and you love the game more then anything, the LAST thing you want to see is a player getting injured...I love this game and believe me, I have seen the good with the bad with my team but NEVER, in my 40 something years of watching this game, have I ever been happy to see someone lying unconscious on a field..this was just wrong on so many levels..anyone who cheered watching this is not a true fan of the game but just a wanna be...RIDICULOUS!!!
Who are you to say whether I can or cannot let a book speak for me? My soul reflects the book. Using your argument, Whatever John said in the book, you can read it too
Eric Winson, you have been in KC for 5 games. You have no right to call out all of us. Outside of KC, no one knows just how pissed and frustrated we have become as fans for BOTH sports teams. I've never seen so much loyalty, passion for each one of our teams and our ownership doesn't give a crap about us!!!! The cheering was direct result of frustration after frustration being built up. We need a winner, we deserve a WINNER. Were sick of the excuses, were sick of it's going to get better,period
You should never cheer a player getting hurt,but if this guy n his line played with the same passion that he's using to chastise the fans,this wouldnt even be an issue.
...no, fans were cheering because cassel was out and quinn would have to play. they don't like cassel at all, they have BEEN wanting quinn to start...the fans were cheering the entire scenario (first down, cassel out, and quinn in)
That guy has the ability to pick you up throw you across a room and then maybe... depending on where you hit on the wall you will go through it... He will laugh at that... so will I.
He didn't go far enough. He should have told everyone who cheered to go straight to hell, stay home and never spend another penny on the Chiefs ever again.
I don't think he said you couldn't. In fact, he said just te opposite. . He just said it's sickening, and something is wrong with society if they think it's OK to cheer a player knocked the fuck out on the field. . .
I agree. Why should good sportsmanship be limited to the players? We are all civil citizens. When is it ok to cheer someone getting knocked out at a football game? We don't do it at high school or college games. You don't see shit like that unless you are at a bar, or a boxing/UFC fight. Be a fucking adult, and show some self control and some empathy. Jesus, this makes me sad that a linebacker has to say this, and say it so eloquently.
After the Kyle Williams and Josh Morgan incident, death threats and what not, apparently no one has learned anything...sad. I love sports, but death and career-ending injuries should no way be a part of the game.
i agree that it was wrong for the fans to cheer when cassel got injured, but he is not a decent QB. He is terrible! KC has a good team around him but he keeps messing up. I also blame the front office for this happening. If they weren't so stubborn about not switching QBs and even giving the fans what they want to see Quinn is no better of an option they are partially to blame for this happening
We didn't cheer when he got hurt. We cheered when Quinn went in. Huge difference!!! Watch the video. The media loves to take a story and escalde it. That's just what they do
- _- ...seriously?...they were not called games...people now-a-days have referred to them as "galadiator games" but they were never initially addressed as such... his logic is very sound

Well spoken articulate player, but his voice though! He needs to be a voice over actor. So soothing and calm.
His voice is so therapeutic. I want him to read me bedtime stories.
Wtf?
i have respect for this man he said what needed to be said
Seeing this clip, I totally understand how and why Eric Winston became the head of the players' association a couple years after this. Very compassionate, intelligent, and just all around a class act.

I haven’t watched this video in years now and I just remembered how much I respect Eric Winston for the truth that he just said!! God bless you man!!
Cardinal way Eric
That's an amazing teammate right there.
What a team player defending their QB, even if he is really bad. Class act for doing this.
im not a chiefs fan, but every football fan should salute him for this. that's definitely a boss right there.
I don't know anything about football or sports but he's my favorite player on whatever team he's in.
I was shocked and disheartened when I saw Matt Cassel get hurt as Brady Quinn came in and The fans cheered as Cassel walked off the field hurt
Mr. Winston, and I don't say this lightly, you are a gentlemen and a scholar. KUDOS to you for handling that situation with character and poise. And if you are a brother in Christ I salute you.
I've never been so embarrassed as a fan. Thank you for saying it Eric.
This guy deserves an award. Hopefully this is a huge a slap in the face to Kansas City fans, he couldn't have said it any better.
Did yal even watch that game? The fans were DEFINITELY cheering when Cassell got hurt, and thats WHY they were cheering. I sat there and saw it myself. As he got hurt, everyone was cheering loud as mofo. As he was on the ground, they were CHEERING. As he was walking off, they were cheering. I mean, its ridiculous.
Cory Troupe you're a liar.
Jason Lagud you’re a bitch
@@Hymanleon amen
Well said Eric, thank you!

BOSS NASS ummm i think u mean to post this on a different comment lol
Matt Cassell won 10 of the 15 games he started in New England... they ended up being the first 11-5 team not to make the playoffs... he definitely has what it takes to start in the NFL, just not on KC
The sequel to Jim Mora 12-20-1993
Maybe if he did his fucking job we wouldn’t be having this convo
Was this cheering only audible if you were actually in the stadium? When I watched it happen on TV, the fans were cheering for the 1st down.
he sounds like he's doing a Cm Punk like promo here.
Winston then just jumps to the conclusion when the fans cheered its because of Cassel getting hurt. When in fact it was the fans reacting to Brady Quinn going into the game.

I had to put on my Sunday Best cause Eric Winston just took us to church.
Speaking as a Texans fan, you got yourself a good player. He may not be the best right tackle now, but he is an intelligent man. Plus, he's a great media star. At least he was in Houston.

I'm still bitter that we got rid of him. I hope he comes back! But until then, he's got a great point!
I have a relative from KC and he says kind of the same things. The Royals and Chiefs have been bad for a long time. I understand your frustration, as a Vikings fan.
Wow, never seen this before. Offensive lineman are the best. Always protecting their guys.
Who said it better? This guy, or Jim Mora from the Saints?
No sure how I got here. But this man laid it down.
I agree with almost everything he said except...
as a fan, I put up with the high ticket prices, high parking prices, unreal food and beverage prices, strikes, taxes for new stadiums, and players bitching they're underpaid.
I don't put up with all this so players can TRY.

are the Chiefs a semi-pro team?

He got his message across without saying a cuss word, he sounds much more intimidating... Vocabulary is essential people

Eric "The Night Slasher" Winston: The court is civilized...isn't it pig?
his last words "we have a lot of problems as a society if people think thats ok" are so fucking true they should put that on the nightly news worldwide
agreed...... well said. it's just a game ... show some respect to the men that play it and put there body's on the line for US.
I haven't seen this guy this mad since he was in Cobra leading the ax chanting.
no sound
I was following the game on Gamecast and isaw that Cassel was injured on the play i immediately was like alright Quinn is coming in. Then i saw the video of the injury and was like man i hope he's alright cause it was clearly a head injury not nothing to play with. I just wanted Cassel benched but clearly Crennel wasnt gonna let that happen.
I understand what you are saying. Just put yourself in the position he's talking about
Players from both teams sai that they were cheering for the injury,along with other media outlets.Of course fans will say they weren't but let's be honest you cheer for a first down when you get it not 1-2 minutes after...
He is right. To cheer for an injury to a player is terrible.
UFC fighters decide to be part of UCF because they enjoy being put in those situations and want to be fighting, while NFL players don't want to be in that situation.... I have a lot of respect for both sports
He's worked hard to earn it. All of these people have. You could say the same about any entertainer, whether it be an athlete on a professional sports team, an actor on television or in a movie, or someone who sings songs. Your argument falls flat on its face because people like you turn right around and fund the very folks you bash. And you know it.
Cards just got him, dont know how good he is but seems like a great guy. Maybe he can revive our o line. Seems intelligent too.
What does Eric Winston know about hard economic times? He gets paid millions to protect his QB, but on both the Texans and Chiefs he has miss blocks that have caused his QB to miss the rest of the season. Then Eric Winston attacks the fans because he cant do his job? The fans were cheering because the Chiefs had not even held a lead until half way through the season. Then Cassel goes down because Winston failed to do his job and the fans cheered when the JumboTron showed Brady Quinn warming up.
Eric is right, we have to stop and take a look at ourselves. It's not right to cheer when someone gets injured.
And he's right! Never, ever cheer for somebody that's injured! What he just said was "That's Crazy" And this is not the Roman Coliseum or Rome! They're NFL Players & Not Gladiators!
chill out the fan were cheering for the first down, not because matt cassel got hurt. watch video again
I think any fan would cheer if there was a change made that could inspire hope. Brady Quinn going in was a cheer for hope not a cheer because Cassel was hurt. Then Winston attacks the fans who pay HIM MILLIONS of dollars because the fans cheered when Brady Quinn was stepping into the game. I'm sure Winston was just distracted because he was thinking, "Oh man I missed ANOTHER block that caused my QB to go down!".
Wow. I didn't want to believe that fans could be this despicable, but having read some of these comments, it's pretty clear who the bad guys are in this situation....... Philadelphia has more class than this. instead of listening to his message, there are threats of retribution? I'd be ashamed to be a chiefs fan right now. Everyone has a poor image of this teams fans. Id be working to restore that image. A losing record is thing.... This is much worse.
booing someone's performance and cheering their injury are two completely different things.
He's 100% right.
He has a point and I agree!
this guy is a true leader im glad hes a chief
You Dont know what happened, the fans were cheering a change in Quarterback, Brady Quinn was on the field less than 20 yards from cassel taking snaps thats what they cheered for. they cheered for a replacement that should have happend two or three games ago. If coach crennel would do his job and take out a joke for a qb this would have never happened.
What's even more sickening is Kansas City's offense.
He said 70,000 people were cheering. Um no. I was there. Maybe like 5,000 drunk people tops. This is ridiculously blown out of proportion. People started cheering when Brady Quinn put his helmet on. Thanks for throwing all of Chiefs Nation under the bus Winston. PS- learn to block your man and Cassel never would have been on the ground in the first place.
Very simply said...if you are a true football fan and you love the game more then anything, the LAST thing you want to see is a player getting injured...I love this game and believe me, I have seen the good with the bad with my team but NEVER, in my 40 something years of watching this game, have I ever been happy to see someone lying unconscious on a field..this was just wrong on so many levels..anyone who cheered watching this is not a true fan of the game but just a wanna be...RIDICULOUS!!!
Who are you to say whether I can or cannot let a book speak for me?
My soul reflects the book.
Using your argument, Whatever John said in the book, you can read it too
The same could be said for Philadelphia when Michael Irvin got hurt. Yeah they cheered like it was a great thing.
Hell, there was more than 70,000 cheering. He forgot the few million cheering around the country!!
What do you mean,"you people?"
Eric Winson, you have been in KC for 5 games. You have no right to call out all of us. Outside of KC, no one knows just how pissed and frustrated we have become as fans for BOTH sports teams. I've never seen so much loyalty, passion for each one of our teams and our ownership doesn't give a crap about us!!!! The cheering was direct result of frustration after frustration being built up. We need a winner, we deserve a WINNER. Were sick of the excuses, were sick of it's going to get better,period
You should never cheer a player getting hurt,but if this guy n his line played with the same passion that he's using to chastise the fans,this wouldnt even be an issue.
He must have thought the ton of Ravens fans there yesterday were Chiefs fans cause there were a lot of ravens fans there.
...no, fans were cheering because cassel was out and quinn would have to play. they don't like cassel at all, they have BEEN wanting quinn to start...the fans were cheering the entire scenario (first down, cassel out, and quinn in)
That guy has the ability to pick you up throw you across a room and then maybe... depending on where you hit on the wall you will go through it... He will laugh at that... so will I.
He didn't go far enough. He should have told everyone who cheered to go straight to hell, stay home and never spend another penny on the Chiefs ever again.
Now everyone is going to get on chiefs fans when everyone isn't to blame.
Wow you really told me. I surrender with your intelligent retort.
I don't think he said you couldn't. In fact, he said just te opposite. . He just said it's sickening, and something is wrong with society if they think it's OK to cheer a player knocked the fuck out on the field. . .
Wait.... so this is or isn't the Roman Coliseum?
I see your point, well spoken.
I agree. Why should good sportsmanship be limited to the players? We are all civil citizens. When is it ok to cheer someone getting knocked out at a football game? We don't do it at high school or college games. You don't see shit like that unless you are at a bar, or a boxing/UFC fight.
Be a fucking adult, and show some self control and some empathy. Jesus, this makes me sad that a linebacker has to say this, and say it so eloquently.
After the Kyle Williams and Josh Morgan incident, death threats and what not, apparently no one has learned anything...sad. I love sports, but death and career-ending injuries should no way be a part of the game.
so we are not suppose to cheer if a boxer or mma fighter gets knocked out? So you saying its ok to cheer as long as its not your own team?
This wouldn't have happened if you had done your job, Eric, and not let the defender run right by you to sack the guy you're protecting.
Too bad matt cassel isn't out longer...
Waaahhhhh!!!!!!
i agree that it was wrong for the fans to cheer when cassel got injured, but he is not a decent QB. He is terrible! KC has a good team around him but he keeps messing up. I also blame the front office for this happening. If they weren't so stubborn about not switching QBs and even giving the fans what they want to see Quinn is no better of an option they are partially to blame for this happening
We didn't cheer when he got hurt. We cheered when Quinn went in. Huge difference!!! Watch the video. The media loves to take a story and escalde it. That's just what they do
Sure.
- _- ...seriously?...they were not called games...people now-a-days have referred to them as "galadiator games" but they were never initially addressed as such... his logic is very sound
They cheered when he got up & they cheered for Quinn. AS THEY SHOULD
sounds like "Jim Mora Jr" :D
