Chiefs Upset Bolts!

What a win! My first thought is that this win needs to be about respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Our Kansas City Chiefs went to Qualcomm and outplayed the Chargers. The media spin will surely be that Norv Turner lost this game, but that’s not the case. The Chiefs defense stifled the Bolts offense, and the unit really [...]

It looks like our X-Factor, Dante Hall, is still a factor for someone else.

Will Huard play the entire game?

“Huard’s job on the line” - KC Star, Some quotes from the article:

“It’s a results-driven league,” Huard said. “Either you get the job done or you don’t (play).”
“When you decide to make a change at that position, that’s big,” Edwards said. “It’s not like making a change at receiver.
“If a guy is struggling and [...]

Go Wildcats!

An Iowa State grad, a Kansas grad and a Mizzou grad walk into a bar together and take a seat at the bar. The bartender gets their drinks, then asks, “Hey, fellas, I was wondering what it’s like to beat Texas in football?”
The KU and MU grads reply (since alumni of both schools never shut [...]

DeAngelo Hall A Chief?

Now, this is a few days old and will probably never happen, but we wanted to get the rumor to you first just in case the trade does go down. From The Big Lead:
From the absolutely unverifyable rumor department: a random e-mailer writes, “Apparently, the Falcons contacted the Kansas City Chiefs about trading DeAngelo Hall [...]

Game Four Predictions: Chiefs at Chargers

Adam Best - This one is tough. Both my head and heart tell me that the Chiefs will hang tough in this one, but can they win it? Remembering how the Chiefs have played on the road recently — probably not. Qualcomm is a lousy homefield advantage, though, so anything is possible. Especially considering that [...]

T.J. Houshmand-paid-eh?

I’ve pretty much quit sports betting, but when I saw this line over on ESPN Hashmarks my eyes lit up:

How many receiving yards will T.J. Houshmandzadeh have in Week 4?

Over    80.5   -120

Under  80.5   -120

First off, T.J.  Houshmandzadeh leads the league in both targets and catches, and he’s up there in yards, too. Second, [...]

Looking Back, Looking Forward

It’s Thursday, which means this is a great opportunity for me to both reflect and project.
The Minnesota Vikings Game:
It would be downright criminal for me not to start this out without the following statement: The Chiefs lose that game without Jared Allen.
Allen was an absolute demon out there last Sunday. In fact, given both his [...]

Say Hello to Shawne’s Little Friend

We’ve figured out how good ol’ Shawne Merriman passes the NFL’s piss tests…

Let’s hope that Damion McIntosh and Kris Wilson are up to the task of blocking him come Sunday, because they’re going to have a ‘roid-raging pit bull (whoops, another NFL subject that’s taboo) coming at them all day long. I really hate that [...]

We Must Ask the Question

Is Damon Huard a starting NFL quarterback?
I have to tell you, I really like the man Damon Huard. A fiery competitor who understands the weight of the opportunity that he has been given, he seems to have true leadership ability and a firm grasp of Mike Solari’s offense. He understands his responsibility, he [...]

Bear Goggles, Baby!

We are proud to announce our new Chicago Bears blog — Bear Goggles. What an aptly named site considering that is exactly what Lovie Smith must have been wearing all this time to stick with Rex Grossman. In fact, that’s all they talk about over there. See. See. See. Man, I wish we could’ve [...]

The Centaur? Mitch Holthus is Bad at Nicknames

C’mon, Mitch Holthus. Can’t we think of a better name for Larry Johnson than The Centaur? Even though he’s rolling with the punches, there’s no way he can possibly like that nickname. We here at Arrowhead Addict even think that it could be the worst nickname possible out of all the 1,008,436,729 possibilities. Ugh. Yuck. [...]
