Jared Allen Dislikes Carl Peterson and Wishes He Could Have Fought Gosder Cherilus

Jared Allen plays the game of football in a pretty intense fashion. Therefore, I tend to think it's fairly unsurprising to find out that he's pretty outspoken. Of course, that doesn't mean I thought he would get on Sporting News Radio and unleash on Carl Peterson. But he did! (Translation props to SbB.)

Tim Montemayor: "What are your thoughts about Carl Peterson leaving the Chiefs organization?"

Jared Allen: "(laughing) Later!"

TM: "Come on, is there no love loss there?"

JA: "Absolutely not, you know what I'm saying? I believe in karma. Good things happen to good people. I'll leave it at that."

I can't tell you just how freaking awesome that "karma" chatter is (although Matt Schaub can probably say better than I ...) considering that Allen nearly lost his leg against the Lions shortly after taking what some would call cheap shots at Schaub, when Gosder Cherilus went after him on one of the biggest low blows I've seen in a while. But if Allen had his way, no one would have held him back after the play and there would have a rumble.

"I guess everybody's telling me I should thank Ray Edwards for holding me back. I wish nobody would have held me back and we could have settled this thing right then and there."

Now, I'm not judge of fighting ability, but if there's one guy in the NFL (other than Ray Lewis) I don't want to tussle with, it's Allen. Still, you'd have to imagine that Cherlius won't let this go -- we are talking about football players here. It's not like they're bloggers who can just let stuff like this go.

Ya know what?? It's a bunch of sh*t that the Gosder Cherilus situation got blown out of proportion like it did. Check the tape Brinson... All that rookie was doing was trying to make a play for his team. He had just gotten himself off the ground and HAD HIS BACK TO THE PLAY THE ENTIRE TIME. He had NO IDEA where the ball-carrier was, so when he saw Allen run by him, he cut the man. Any offensive lineman worth his salt would've done the exact same thing. It wasn't illegal... it wasn't dirty, it was just a guy trying to make a play. The only ridiculous part was the way Allen responded.... like a goddamn cry-baby. And then he was back in the game 10 minutes later.... which made it even more ridiculous.

KARMA !!! If Jared believes in Karma he should be expecting a lighting bolt to incinerate him at any moment. It just kills me that a no class piece of garbage like this is actually quoted about anything with the exception of what type of vermouth is best in a martini. Hey Jared, make yourself useful and go and practice your fake limp so you can be more convincing next game.
