MIAMI – Tyler Thigpen, former Kansas City Chiefs’ starting quarterback and fomer boyfriend of Channel 38, the Spot’s Holly Starr, just finished ‘the best week of (his) life’ after being traded from the Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday of last week.
Thigpen started eight games during his time as the Chiefs starter, winning just one, although his gritty performances and hard-nosed play made him a favorite among causal Chiefs fans. His time as a starter also allowed him to know, and eventually date Starr, a model and Kansas City mini-celebrity because of her beauty and charming personality.
Thigpen, however, wouldn’t last long as the starter or Starr’s boyfriend. After the Kansas City’s 2-14 season, Chiefs’ president Carl Peterson and head coach Herm Edwards were let go, with Scott Pioli arriving from New England as the general manager and Todd Haley from Arizona as the head coach.
Pioli quickly brought in Matt Cassel from New England. With Thigpen all but assured he’d lost his starting job, he then learned he was likely to start the season as a third-stringer, if he made the team at all. Around the same time, Starr and Thigpen broke up, with Thigpen calling it mutual and everyone else who knows anything saying Starr was the dumper.
“It all happened so fast, I wasn’t sure what to be more upset about,” said Thigpen, who came from obscurity to win the Chiefs’ starting job last year. “That’s not true, I knew what to be more upset about. Holly Starr was by far the most beautiful woman I’d ever talked to. Living in Kansas City, she’s about as good as it gets. She was a 10 in Kansas City. The top of the mountain.”
Thigpen’s year got worse in September as he watched both Brodie Croyle and then Cassel put up weak efforts as the starting quarterback this season, and Starr went on to date some unknown singer.
Then, when things looked bleakest, Thigpen got the call that he had been traded to the Dolphins, where there’s a chance he could end up starting games again. And, after 10 minutes of standing in the Miami airport, he also realized he was ready to move on in his personal life.
“Don’t get me wrong, Holly is beautiful and talented, and in Kansas City, she’s the cream of the crop. But I’m pretty sure if she walked by me 10 times out here in Miami, all I’d do is look past to see the eight better looking girls behind her standing in the Sbarro’s Pizza line,” Thigpen said. “Also, it’ll be good to play for a team that isn’t going to lose at least 13 games for the second year in a row. God, I love Miami.”

This is the most stupid fu*kin thing I have ever read. Thig loved KC and he and Ms. Starr are still great friends. He would never throw either of them under the bus with these negative comments. Truth is Thig will love it wherever he goes he is just that kind of dude. And we all know the truth that Starr is a 10 wherever she goes. She is the one who should get traded to a city that can best serve her needs.
