ESPN Totally Screws Up… Thrice

Uh, get your weeks straight there, ESPN. An occasional typo is cool, but having the Chiefs play the wrong team in both the story headline and the headline on the NFL front page? Not to mention saying that we play at San Diego? Even Emmitt Smith and Jemele Hill would be embarrassed by all that. [...]

Croyle Out, Huard to Start

Brodie Croyle will not play this Sunday against the Chargers. Brodie hurt his back in last week’s game, and the Chiefs were waiting to see if he would be able to play this weekend. The Chiefs have decided that he will be unable to go because of a bruised back. Damon Huard will get the [...]

Arrowhead Advantage: That Other Rivalry

10 Reasons Why Being a Chiefs Fan is Cooler Than Being a Chargers Fan:
10. It took arguably the best player in the NFL — LaDainian Tomlinson — for the Chargers to formally join the realigned AFC West.
9. If there was a fantasy draft for NFL coaches, I’m 100% positive Herm Edwards wouldn’t go first. I’m [...]

KC’s Kryptonite? 3rd Down

While there are many things that have gone wrong this season (and many to blame for the downfall), the biggest disappointment seems to be the playcalling, especially on 3rd down. Often times, we see calls during these points of the game that are not only questionable, but utterly unbelievable. I evaluated each game this afternoon [...]

Chargers Bench RT Olivea for Ex-Wildcat

The Chargers have benched starting right tackle Shane Olivea in favor of Kansas State product Jeromey Clary…
Shane Olivea, who has started all but two games at right offensive tackle since San Diego chose him in the seventh round of the 2004 draft, has been benched for Sunday’s game against Kansas City.
Jeromey Clary, [...]

Croyle, Terry and Carney

Brodie Croyle missed practice yesterday with a sore back and might not be able to go this Sunday against the Chargers. If Croyle is unable to go then Damon Huard will get another chance to start. This is most likely a precautionary measure and I think we will see Brodie on Sunday.
“He’s sore, pretty [...]

HBO Features X-Factor

The people over at HBO recently caught up with our old buddy X-Factor over a weekend. Check out this clip, and be sure to keep an eye out for X on HBO’s Inside the NFL. We gotta give it up to the super hero of all Chiefs fans. HBO? $8 M for charity? Keep doing [...]

Kyle Turley will donate his entire $25,000 paycheck from the Dec. 23 Lions game to a fund for disabled NFL retirees. This is a move that could actually hurt his career, so big props to [...]

Sean Taylor 1983-2007

We just wanted to pay our respects to one of the most talented and hardest-hitting safeties we’ve ever seen play the game. For more on Sean Taylor, visit our sister site Riggo’s Rag throughout the day.

Peter King on Herm’s Decision, Kolby Smith

Here are a few snippets from Peter King’s MMQB that I thought might be of interest to Chiefs fans:
On Herm Edwards‘ decision:
I think it would seem to be easy to rip Kansas City coach Herman Edwards and label him my Semi-Goat of the Week. But I eschewed the goat thing, because I understand why Edwards [...]

Mizzou: The New Black and Gold-en Gods of College Football?

My old man has been a die-hard live-miserable Missouri Football fan my entire life. Because of that, I understand the magnitude of the Tigers‘ big victory, and I am going to do my best to cheer up all of you Mizzou/Chiefs fans. All of you Kansas/Chiefs fans will just have to be miserable along with [...]

Rayner’s Mis-Aimers

***Update*** How the hell does Chris at Arrowhead Pride do it? They always seem to catch that tidbit to the story that I hadn’t heard. They’re reporting (via KFFL) that Rayner should be released and replaced soon by Billy Cundiff, Nick Novak, or John Carney. I don’t care who–just do it.***
While no NFL game can [...]

Something to Cheer You Up

I figured with the loss that maybe some Chiefs cheerleader pics might cheer you up. Probably not, but it was worth a shot. I was also surprised how little clothing the squad was wearing. Let’s give it up to the ladies for braving the winter elements!

Post Game Quotes

Herm Edwards, on the game:

“You’ve got to give the Raiders some credit. In the second half they ran the ball on us and made a couple of big plays in the third quarter that really got the momentum going for them.”We couldn’t stop them from running. I felt that on the sideline and that’s why [...]
