AADQ: Halloween Costume?
Totally off-topic, but screw it–it’s Halloween! I won’t dress up today, maybe for this thing I might go to tomorrow. If I do, my costume well be Ashley Todd, that chunky, little Peter Jackson lookalike who carved the backwards (accidentally) “B” on her face for Barack Obama, which was probably the worst hoax ever. All [...]

Power To The People! Charging Up Arrowhead
In theory, piezoelectric floors can take the energy of any step or jump and convert it into electricity,- you could soon see this sort of Green power in use on sidewalks, subway platforms and perhaps most promising, gyms and fitness centers. We could line theCarl’s Hair Dryer Arrowhead floors and concourses with these materials and use them to run the video screens, the lights and even the PA speakers. Hell, it could even run Carl’s hair dryer for at least 30 seconds. Of course, we’d need extra material if we were gonna power Herm Edwards bloviating stupid answers at press conferences too.

Vick-To-The-Chiefs Update
Looks like that halfway house stay isn’t going to be an issue at all for Michael Vick as far as his 2009 comeback is concerned. From FOX Sports:
Vick, 28, is set to enter his plea on Nov. 25. Under the terms of his plea deal, he would receive only a suspended sentence and a year [...]

New Rules: Kansas City Chiefs Edition 1.0
I guess today’s just Adam’s favorite smart ass TV segment day. First SNL’s “Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy,” now Bill Maher’s “New Rules.” Hopefully, you guys will enjoy this just as much (and we can all avoid thinking about the powerhouse Pewter Pirates for at least another day).

Off-Season Outlook - Quarterback
First off, I’d like to offer my apologies for not dropping in with my column for the past two weeks. Things were a bit hectic, and given the Chiefs absolute inability to do anything right on the field, I decided to not pile on any more negativity with my own thoughts.
It’s with that in mind, [...]
