CBS Sportsline.com’s Pete Prisco, whose name can’t possibly be real unless he’s a low-level mob enforcer, ranks our Kansas City Chiefs 26th in his current power rankings. So, only 12 teams out of 32 make the playoffs and we were a playoff team last year, yet we’re 26th? We’ll see, Prisco.
Check out the over-under win totals from the Las Vegas Hilton for this NFL season (Ben Maller):
11 wins — New England;
10 ½ wins — Indianapolis and San Diego;
10 wins — Chicago; 9½ wins — Denver;
9 wins — Baltimore, Carolina, Cincinnati, Dallas, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle;
8½ wins — Jacksonville.
8 wins — Kansas City, New York Giants and New York Jets; 7 ½ wins — Atlanta, Green Bay, St. Louis and Washington;
7 wins — Arizona, Miami, San Francisco, Tampa Bay and Tennessee
6 ½ wins — Houston and Minnesota;
6 wins — Buffalo and Detroit;
5½ wins — Cleveland;
5 wins — Oakland.
Eight wins? Hmmm… if we can’t get eight wins something is very wrong. L.J. and our defense alone, forget about any passing game, should be good for that many wins.
BoltTalk.com has a new podcast out with music that makes me feel like I got sucked into a time warp and I’m back as a kid again watching Transformers the Movie (no, not the new version from the always worthless Michael Bay) or an after-school special. But in reality, it is a podcast about the Bolts and eventually the rest of the AFC West. Nice to hear that fellow ex-Wildcat Darren Sproles has fully recovered from his knee injury.
NFL head honcho Rodger Goodell is thinking about adding an extra game. It seems the league is trying to spin this as attempt to schedule more international games. I agree that should happen, to some extent anyway, but what I love about this proposal is that it would shorten the preseason. Amen to that!
Speaking of preseason, I’m starting to think that we should hold onto Trent Green into the preseason, you know, “Deion Branch” him. Almost every year a QB goes down in the preseason or first game or two. A team will get desperate and make an offer at least as good as what the Dolphins were trying to push on us. By that time, Green will be desperate as well. And if he says “screw it” and retires, most of his salary will come off the books.
One possibility is the Baltimore Ravens after Steve McNair’s latest quasi-DUI (they never quite stick, and this one likely won’t be any different). He actually got a DUI without even driving. And don’t even mention Kyle Boller… or Troy Smith.
Warpaint’s C.E. Wendler says “give Croyle a chance.” With Dwayne Bowe and Kolby Smith onboard, why the hell not? I’m starting to feel better about Brodie Croyle. Wendler is unequivocally right about one thing — we all wanted Brady Quinn to slip to 23. I’m guilty of this, just look back at my live draft diary. I was like Woogie from Something About Mary — infatuated. I did not, however, have to pretend to like D-Bo, though. C’mon, now.
Lastly, the Halcyon Company (whoever they are?) has secured the rights and is going to make three more Terminator movies, all without Ah-nold. This just proves that nobody’s job is safe these days. Trent, you’re in good company.
Check out the previous post and give King Carl an offseason grade! And be sure the check back all weekend long for updates on the rookie mini-camp.
