“Hard Knocks: Kansas City Chiefs” Show No. 2 Live Blog
21:00:44 - Here we go…
21:02:34 - The depth chart… “coaches are consumed by it”… “scouts agonize over it”… Michael Bennett No. 1, Kolby Smith No. 2, Priest Holmes No. 3, until L.J. returns… glad to have Damion Mac… Brodie still No. 1 at QB…
21:06:15 - McIntosh goes down and is rolling around like he got injured in Madden… D-Bo prepping for a press conference… King Carl says that he’s been “out of camp too damn long”… Boomer, Kennison and Co. haze D-Bo by wrapping him to the goalpost and dumping ice-cold Gatorade on him…
21:08:47 - Prepping for the trip to Cleveland… I hope I never have to go through that… Herm tells them not to bring all their jewelry, “you don’t have to have the whole Mr. T starter set on.” Brodie says he’s not big on bling… King Carl talking about he and Herm back with the Eagles… Herm could play, folks…
21:11:37 - “Make him be a fan, give him a hot dog” - Herm… Looking at Tyron Brackenridge. He’s looking pretty good. David Gibbs, the D-backs coach, is real high on him… Gun’s raving about Dimitri Petterson. Gibbs calls him “the surprise of camp.” They are loving these two, man. I think we’ve found a pair of players… What the hell is Benny Sapp doing? Sounds like Snuffy from Sesame Street. Plus he’s growing some wannabe dreds. I’ve heard of dredlocks, but shitlocks? Ty Law calls it “stank-ass heads.” Gun says dreds are “coming back.”
21:15:23 - Medlock time, baby… choking a bit, misses a few… Herm ain’t having it… finally hits it… Tony G. ridin’ Medlock, saying we’ll need him against Denver…
21:18:07 - Turley overtakes Terry for the No. 1 RT spot on the DC. Matsko bragging about his pass protection. “You can cut your hair, but it doesn’t matter.” - Tony G. on Turley’s attitude… Turley seems focused, though, much more prepared than back before the ‘06 season…. now he’s jammin’ on his guitar in the music lounge that he set up for the players…
21:20:18 - Colquitt playing a prank on the rooks, faking them out like Brodie is asleep with a huge boner… talking QB compitition… Brodie’s going to get more snaps because he’s younger, we already know that… he’s running the two minute drill… nice grab by Boomer… hits Gardner… fires a bullet to Michael Bennett… a bomb to Gardner… touchdown Tony G! Nice drive by Brodie.
21:23:36 - QB coach Dick Curl saying you need to throw Brodie in there… King Carl says that’s fine preseason wise, but the best QB needs to play when the season starts to give the team its best chance to win… it’s obvious that Herm wants Brodie to win… Casey Printers siting…. hits Randolph with a bomb… flashes of brilliance mixed with head-shaking moments.
21:25:59 - Priest Holmes jawing about L.J., then Bennett on the radio… Derrick Ross now… put on 20 pounds after NFL Europe… one coach says about Ross, “you got to mountain climb to get in here”… do we really need to see Merriman hit Priest like that… “22 months not a weight, no running”… Priest is way behind… working hard, though… the Chiefs brass think he’s ready to step it up a notch… he’s talking to the press… likes the word “dedication” more than “dubious”… Herm compares Priest to Marcus Allen when he made his comeback with the Chiefs…
21:29:54 - Family Fun Night… Damon Huard talking about the kids, how he misses his own kids… Gun - “Fuck Family Fun Night!”… he just hates it… “Thanksgiving and Christmas are nightmares for me”… nicknamed “The Grinch”… football comes first with Gun… he’s not sure why his wife doesn’t throw him out… I love this guy, man… says “It’s fucking Arrowhead, OK,” to his defense… calls Kansas City his home…
21:33:12 - Tank and Turk… Turk is now struggling… Gun is riding him hard… “Tank Tyler is playing like his nickname”… he just annihilated Kolby Smith’s ass… D-Bo talking to the press… King Carl talking about his weight… he’s a tad bit too heavy at 225… he missed 16 practices by holding out… D-Bo already talking about the Hall of Fame… he’s getting his ass worked conditioning wise… Samie Parker “working to keep his job”… drops another pass, imagine that… drops another one, man… he knows that there is pressure on him… Herm wants him to perform, but likes him…
21:37:31 - Maurice Price breaks his collarbone… Ray Farmer trying to find replacement receivers… Bobby Sippio talking… the sleeper, baby… Farmer says he has good times on him… Sippio catches EVERY PASS… the other guys pretty much choke… all the coaches liked Sippio… and he’s a Chief…
21:40:35 - Boomer talking about “Skynard” and “milk.”… talking Boomer now… Herm says Gun tried to run him out… says Boom is the starting fullback… he’s wearing Herm’s number… talking about his hands, working with the Jugs machine… Brodie bragging about him… Boomer wearing the soon-to-be-infamous Nigro’s shirt… Boomer struggling, scratching his head in meetings… hurt his ribs… or obliques… hurting bad…
21:43:44 - Priest playing chess… Herm calling the fam… Eddie Kennison doing the same… Damon video chatting with the Huard crew… Eddie wants to “talk dirty” to his “little mama”… Herm is a workout warrior, man, just running…
21:45:35 - Going over the gameplan with Tim Krumrie… gut check time… players have to prove that they deserve to be on the team… Herm preachin’ to the defense — “Do not be afraid to be great. WIN!”… Getting on the buses… Herm says the whole bus will be asleep within 10 minutes… Turk and Tank room together, and Tank snores “stupid loud” according to Turk… these guys are already like best friends… Tank is singin’… Oh my God, this dude sounds like a bear sleeping… sleep apnea or something…
21:48:34 - Marino once told Huard, “if you think there’s pressure — there is.”… Grigsby is scratched… Turk struggling… cramping up bad… Tank Tyler “excels”… man, can he move for his size… Tank and Turk talking about being nervous… the offense… Brodie struggling BIG TIME… fumble… interception… he’s mad at himself… Huard replaces Croyle… has a tough night as well… throws the pick… Herm says it’s hard to watch… Benny Sapp — funky hair, snorting and all — makes a big play. Brackenridge and Patterson earning their keep… these two look great… Patterson is hittin’… Medlock isn’t nervous — ice cold… smooth… nails a clutch 42-yard field goal, bad snap and all… here’s that horrid kick coverage… maybe we got it out of our system already… Gun rips his dip out, “son of a bitch”… here comes Casey Printers… Ross throws a great block… Casey looks “good, very good”… then he fumbles a bad snap on the three as he’s about to win the game… he looks like Willie Beamen about to puke…
21:55:59 - Sunday is a day of rest for the players… the coaches look at game film… Huard overtakes Brodie on the depth chart… Bowe replaces Samie Parker… Boomer really wants to get out there… Casey doesn’t seem too shaken up… “the depth chart is about to change again.”
That’s it, folks. Next week should be a better show, I hope. This one was pretty good, but not as good as the first episode.
