    "A petition has been started to get Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to serve as an honoree at a Kansas City Chiefs game for his part in aiding the Chiefs’ 1st-round bye this postseason. And that petition is nearing 35,000 signatures.

    If you’d like to see Fitzpatrick honored, throw a signature on the petition here — it can’t hurt, right? If the movement gains enough traction, perhaps this could get done in time for Fitzpatrick to appear at the Chiefs’ first playoff game in the AFC Divisional Round. With a New England Patriots win over the Tennessee Titans this weekend, Fitzpatrick would be banging the drum to lead Chiefs fans cheering against the same team Fitzpatrick knocked off just two weeks earlier.

    Yep, we’re officially signing."

    I don't see it happening no matter how many people sign up. Fitz is hardly going to be that directly abrasive.

    While this is great from a Chief's fan point of view, I certainly hope Fitzpatrick doesn't indulge himself and partake in it. He was simply doing his part as a Miami Dolphin for HIS team, not some other team.

    I'd love if he did it. Have a little fun in life. All work and no play after all.

    I’m all for it. Anything that promotes us beating the Pats again is fine with me.

    Also I dont think it would be Fitz showing out. More like him representing our entire team.

    If the TEAM as a whole is all for it, but the Chiefs aren't playing the Patriots. The Titans are so what's the point, cheer on the Chiefs season?

    Think of it as positive media attention instead of the negative we are so used to.

    They are happy our win gave them home field. I see it as a positive if the whole NFL world appreciates the resiliency and fight we put in to win the game.

    I do agree it's something everyone should feel okay with before being done of course.

    He should definitely go bang the drum.

    I guess it’s the military in me and the sense of TEAM that’s in me. Fitzpatrick didn’t win against the Patriots...the Miami Dolphins won. Things like this can...CAN cause animosity. “Look at what ‘I’ did and look at what ‘I’ get out of it”

    i get the whole Chiefs fan base being happy at what OUR win gave them. Congratulations, now go win your own game because we plan on gunning for you in the very near future.

    It's not anti-team in any way though. A person can represent an entire group.

    I don't understand this DK.

    I personally bristle when football players try to associate playing a game for millions of dollars to the challenge and sacrifice of our service members in the armed forces. Maybe back in the day, one could draw parallels between the fraternity of men on a team and that of the bond of soldiers, but I don't think that even holds true anymore with free agency.

    I think you missed his entire point. Like in the military a win on the battlefield isn’t one person. It’s the group as a whole. From the Generals to the grunts.

    I don't think he'll do it simply because he's a Dolphin, but it's a great honor and I'd love to see him accept the position for the day.
