Chiefs Fix: Wrapping Up A Case Of The Mondays

“We Just Weren’t That Into You”. Chris from A.P.’s look at all the players the Chiefs broke up with this offseason. Fun stuff. I guess breaking up can actually be pretty fun when you’re not the dumpee. - Arrowhead Pride

Koren Robinson? Really? Really? Isn’t he kind of like Hancock, only without the super powers and [...]

What About The Defensive Line?

ChiefDJ at ArrowheadPride.com wrote an article a couple days ago giving 5 reasons why the Chiefs’ offensive line would be better this coming season.  Good article, if you haven’t read it, you’d better check it out.
The article got me thinking (which all good articles do) a little bit and my mind started to wander over [...]

Boomer Still Boomer

Many Chiefs fans, including myself, are going to miss the always-entertaining Boomer Grigsby. He has been working hard this off-season so he can continue his dreams of being an NFL player and giving back to his roots. He is hosted his third annual golf tournament yesterday to raise money for three different children’s charities in [...]

Pete Prisco Insults L.J., Leaves Him Off Top 50

The Star’s Jeffry Flanagan actually found this, but next time, Flanny, include a link to the story you are referencing. Otherwise we don’t know what the hell you’re talking about until we go over to CBS Sportsline and dig the article up ourselves. That’s way too much work for your average lazybones blog reader, man.
Anyway, [...]

What Is This, Comic-Con?

Here are two more comic book images (the second one, dedicated to all the 100-yard games L.J. is about to put up, is after the jump), these dedicated to the Chiefs‘ Iron Man, Larry Johnson. The nickname is Iron Man–IRON MAN, people. The Centaur is retarded. I don’t care if Mitch Holthus came up with [...]

Glenn Dorsey’s New Nickname Is…Swamp Thing!

We challenged Chiefs fans and you all answered emphatically in less than a season of Jack Bauer. First-time commenter Timmer nailed Glenn Dorsey’s new nickname with his first shot out of the box!
Some ideas:
~Swamp Thing - a connection to his Louisiana roots and his monstrous, superheroish ways along the D-line
Great job, Timmer. We’re absolutely loving [...]

One More Reason L.J. Should Roll In ‘08…

After a three-year relationship came to its end, he’s now single. No more lovey-dovey birds tweeting around his helmet. Instead, what’s inside that helmet will be free, clear and ready to be used as a battering ram. Yeah, Julissa Bermudez was cute and all, but who is Media Take Out kidding–Larry Johnson is the one [...]

A.A.D.Q.: Glenn Dorsey Needs Him A Nickname!

Well, since probably only about a quarter of us have seen Glengarry Glen Ross–by the way, rent it, Netflix it or buy it if you haven’t seen it…just an absolute classic–my Glenn Dorsey Glenn Hoss nickname isn’t going to cut it. It’s also a little long. The Hulk is another one I’ve heard, but I [...]

Stray Arrows: Eric Hicks Missed Us

Eric Hicks is most likely done with his career in the NFL, but he still loves Kansas City. He was inducted to the Metropolitan Erie Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame last night and had this to say about Kansas City.

“I can’t say I really enjoyed last year,” Hicks said. “Being in Kansas [...]

Stray Arrows: “Manufactured Joy” Preview

Epic Carnival recently previewed our Kansas City Chiefs. Lots of, well, stuff. Good, bad and…ugly:
The Good:
Keep an eye on WR Will Franklin, who has the size to turn the Kansas City receiving corps into Arizona-lite.
Bowe’s used his size better than any other receiver in his class and showed a penchant for attacking the ball that [...]

Jason White-lock: Column Formula Revealed

Why does Whitlock writes the things he does? This writer thinks he has J-Dub’s formula figured out. Its not as simple as him having the opposite-of-the-”popular” opinion, its that he writes articles contrary to the popular (implied or otherwise) “black community” opinion. As a black man, he has Carte Blanche to write about race issues in a way a white male sports writer cannot, yet he chooses to do the opposite of what is expected of him, making him controversial by default. What if Jason Whitlock was white? A White Whitlock, from here on out, Whitelock, if you follow the formula, would write stories about how much he dislikes Barack Obama, 80s Night, and Grad School. All things White People like according to StuffWhitePeopleLike.com. (To clarify, his articles would be the opposite of typical things white people like these days…and if you get mad about Barack Obama, just substitute “Toyota Prius” or “Coffee”). He would write negative pieces on white water rafting, organic food and having black friends. (sub: country music, standing still at concerts or wine

Jared Allen, The NFL, And Alcohol

The NFL has a problem with alcohol and it seems to be getting worse. Not that this is anything new, but it seems like the NFL can’t go a week without one of its players getting arrested for a DUI or some alcohol-related arrest. Just check Pro Football Talk and see how many times their [...]

What Now?

As I made the long trip back to good old West Virginia last Monday from Florida, a thought occurred to me- What am I going to do to get my Chiefs fix for the next month? Now we have a solid month of pretty much nothing happening with the Kansas City Chiefs except maybe a [...]

2008 With An Eye Towards 2009

One thing I like to do before the season is look at the holes on the team with an eye on player development and what the 2009 draft needs may look like.
We have several questions going into the 2008 season. With such a young team, player development is the most important aspect of this [...]
