[Kansas City.com] Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was already having a bad day, having dropped a couple of passes at practice.
His Wednesday got worse with comments made in the latest issue of ESPN the Magazine scheduled to come out Friday.
In it, Bowe talked of Chiefs players arranging for women to meet them at the team hotel when the Chiefs played a game in San Diego in Bowe’s rookie season of 2007.
“My rookie year, we were playing in San Diego,” Bowe said, according to the magazine. “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.”
The Chiefs had no response to Bowe’s comments, and Bowe could not be reached for comment. The story became public after the media interview period with coach Todd Haley and players concluded.
Bowe’s comments could eventually prove nothing more than a minor distraction for the Chiefs. But they also could cause trouble in the locker room. Haley and general manager Scott Pioli have turned over much of the roster since joining the Chiefs last year, but some players remain from 2007.
if this did happen its to late to take care of now

And this does not happen with the other teams in the NFL??? Sems Bowe may have gotten a bad apple in 2007 and now he realize that and is mad.

That bad apple must have been a he-she sent to his room. He probably dropped those balls too.
Sorry I couldn’t resist. For the record I don’t care if Dwayne Bowe plays for the Chiefs this year or not.

David in VA had to go there. Thats classic! Even if this is true, why the hell would you admit that to reporters. Listen, these athletes are young, wealthy, and mostly single men. Athletes should not be held to a higher standard more than any other professions. If anybody is shocked about this, they dont get out much.

I hope his teamates will take care of this. He just separated himself from the team. What an idiot, telling on your teamates. I think Haley has been looking for a reason to get rid of him and now he has it.

What happens in the locker room, stays in the locker room. What a punk, hope you get what you have comming…..

BOWE IS A JOKE!!!!!!!! Just another underachieving LSU player that was supposed to be good. Maybe if we would quit drafting people like dwayne bowe thats more worried about off field stuff instead of being a good receiver. Trade him or cut him i could see him turning into T.O.
