Q: You said in the spring that you were going to be here on time?

BOWE: “Always in my mind I was going to be here on time. I hired people to get the job done and it is done. I am ready to roll.”

Q: How upset were you that something was not done sooner?

BOWE: “At first I was upset. But I understand this is a business and they have to make business decisions. My guys handled it well. The Chiefs did a great job. I am here and I ready to go.”

Q: You lost your bet with (President) Carl Peterson (for a steak dinner that he would be in camp on time).

BOWE: “I lost my bet. I am trying to gather some money up to take him out to eat.”

Q: You can afford that pretty soon?

BOWE: “Pretty soon I will be able to.”

Q: How far behind are you?

BOWE: “Coach said I am 200 repetitions behind. But football is football. You go out catch and run around and get in the groove. That takes a couple of days and I will be ready to go. ”

Q: Do you think you can work your way into that starting spot?

BOWE: “That is on my mind. Right now I want to get back into football shape. Go out and take the reps to get better.”

Q: What have you been doing the last couple of weeks?

BOWE: “Working out. Running around, catching, running, doing things like that to keep myself in shape.”

Q: Are you a starting receiver on this team?

BOWE: “I don’t know right now. Those guys like said were out there taking the reps and learning the reps. Once I get out there and learn the offense I feel I will get a spot.”

Q: Did you talk to your teammates while you were not here?

BOWE: “I chatted with a few guys. They told me to keep my head up and that it was a business move. It is going to get done. Once it gets done, to get in and get rolling.”

Q: Have you been keeping up with camp on the internet?

BOWE: “I tried not to watch too much. I tried to let my agents handle that. People called me all the time. I hired good people and they got the job done. I am ready to go.”

Q: Did you talk to Larry Johnson?

BOWE: “I talked to Larry a few times. He said to keep yourself in shape and it is all a business. When you get older you are going to understand that was a business move and you made the right move.”
