Chiefs Fix: V-Tech Memorial Fund, The Pursuit of Nappyness and other stuff

I want to alert everybody of the Virginia Tech tribute posted on our sidebar. The tribute is a direct link to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund. Please go check it out.

Now, on with the Fix…

The Net is kind of barren today when it comes to Chiefs news. I guess it’s worth mentioning that even the local Miami media now concede that the Dolphins are “likely to sweeten” the current seventh-round offer for Trent Green. I absolutely love how King Carl is using the Pats-Phins Wes Welker trade as leverage. I would too. Trent Green’s trade value has to be at least equal to Welker’s.

I am now covering the Chiefs in addition to the Dolphins over on RealFootball365.com. My first Chiefs piece should be out soon. Oddly enough, my most recent contribution over there was a Raiders piece I did filling in for one of the Raiders beat guys. The piece probably won’t be a favorite of Chiefs fans, as I predict the Raiders to actually be competitive in the AFC West next season. I love my Chiefs, but honestly I really do think the Silver and Black will be markedly improved. We can beat them twice, but sans Shields I’m not sure that we will.

Like I stated in yesterday’s Fix, Jason Whitlock has been all over the place expressing his opinion of who is really to blame for terminology such as “nappy-headed hos.”

• Matt Lauer interviews Whitlock
• Whitlock and Sharpton square off on CNN
• Whitlock on Anderson Cooper 360°
• Whitlock on Tucker Carlson’s show
• Whitlock on Oprah (that’s the big time, my man)

Of course, I always like to have Jason around covering my beloved Chiefs, but I applaud him for going out and standing up for a cause he truly believes in. Even more so considering that his beliefs don’t necessarily coincide with those of mainstream America, both black and white.

Our new mock draft will be released sometime tomorrow. Following the latest mock will be ChiefStock features on both our pick from the last first-round mock, WR Dwayne Jarrett, and our first- and second-round picks from this mock. We will be doubling our draft coverage with the draft less than 10 days away. Make sure you check in frequently for all the latest on the Chiefs and the draft.
