Blogging the Brigade (2nd Half)

(3) vs. (6)
Well, I was sitting around this afternoon watching the Kansas City Brigade’s first ever playoff game. It is Wild-Card Weekend in the Arena League and the Chiefs Brigade are playing the Colorado Crush (I hate their colors almost as much as those Donkeys). So I have decided to blog the 2nd [...]

Chiefs 2007 Schedule: Early Predictions

I am going to start breaking down my predictions for the Chiefs Schedule throughout the season. Since I am not a writer and don’t pretend to be one, this will let me be analytical. Chris , over at Arrowhead Pride, thinks we will be around 10-6 or 8-8 this season. Thats not a hard assumption [...]

Royals with Vs

As in victories (because I reference my favorite line from Pulp Fiction any time I can)! Our Kansas City Royals had their first winning month since July 2003, ending the longest such drought in MLB. Our boys also swept the mighty Anaheim of Los Angeles of Orange County of California of… the Angels, wherever the [...]

The COAT Chief Sixteen: 8. Otis Taylor vs. 9. Deron Cherry

VS.

Hopefully, this match-up will last a little longer than the last one.
A few things to remember about Otis Taylor:

When he retired he held almost every Kansas City Chiefs receiving record.

Twice topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark in a season.

Led the Chiefs in receptions (season) five times.

Made possibly the biggest play in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl [...]

Is it just me, or does this…

… look like a fullback?

Whitlock’s boy Chadiha backs L.J. — so do I

Now, I know some of you don’t like him, and for the most part (even though I do like him) I can see why. I also have heard all the comparisons to this guy … and this guy… and especially this guy… way too often. In fact, the whole subject has been discussed ad [...]

L.J. to the Pack?

According to our friends over at Green Bay Railbird Central, the Green Bay Packers still should be interested in “disgruntled” Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson. Call me crazy, but I don’t think he’s going anywhere, let alone to Green Bay. The Packers just added Brandon Jackson in the draft, and L.J. has said over [...]

The COAT Chief Sixteen: 1. Len Dawson vs. 16. Jan Stenerud

 
VS.

We all love Jan Stenerud, but c’mon — dude’s a kicker. Lenny Dawson is Mr. Kansas City Chiefs, and probably has as good of a chance to win The COAT as anyone. After all, he is the only Chiefs QB who has even won a Super Bowl, regardless of how much talent surrounded him. Head [...]

Naptown’s Finest Launches

This is probably a touchy subject around these parts — at least for me it is — but we have officially launched our new Indianapolis Colts blog. Naptown’s Finest is the blog’s name, and Jonathon LaRosa is the lead writer. He’s doing a great job over there of keeping fans posted on the Super [...]

Just how bitter are Kansas City sports fans?

According to BitterFans.com — pretty freakin’ bitter. Kansas City sports fans were ranked as the 11th most-bitter fans in the site’s recent “The Official List of Sports’ Suffering” column.
Honestly, I think we should have been among the top-five most bitter. The Chiefs have the best fans in the AFC West hands down, maybe the league, [...]

The COAT: Chief Sixteen Bracket

There it is — The COAT Chief Sixteen. You narrowed the field to 16, and then Zach and I served as the two-bracketologist panel. The seeds are a result of six different factors: COAT votes, popularity, statistics, accolades, how long each player played for the Chiefs (loyalty), and team success. The individual match-ups will run [...]

KC Star hits close to, but not quite, home

Bill Reiter of The Kansas City Star had an interesting story in today’s sports section. In it, he discusses sports blogging, and mentions a few of Arrowhead Addict’s favorite stop-offs. Deadspin, Royals Review, and, perhaps most notably, Arrowhead Pride all get hollers from Mr. Leiter.
To our dismay, Mr. Leiter went for what shall be referred [...]

Kissing Suzy can kiss L.J.’s…

The good, and I use that word rather loosely here (just kidding, fellas), people over at Kissing Suzy Kolber basically have given Larry Johnson no shot whatsoever at making the Hall. Personally, I think he definitely has a shot. I mean, how many running backs have started off as strong as L.J. has statistically [...]
