It’s not everyday that you get to write about your boyhood idol being elected into the Hall of Fame. But that’s exactly what I get to do today. I’ve been running around my pad, doing the tomahawk chant and chop all day long. It should have never, ever taken this long, but now the best [...]

King Carl could never find a young franchise quarterback for the Chiefs during his 20-year tenure. Maybe he should have used Google Earth?
If Swiss Police can find a field full of Mary Jane on GE, maybe it’s the way to go. Do you think the Swiss Police could use it to find us a pass-rushing [...]

Still haven’t decided which team to pull for this Sunday? Hmmmm…maybe I can help? Today over on FOX Sports, I challenged a Cardinals fan and a Steelers fan to make their case. Here’s a little taste of each column:

What the hell has Chiefs nation been smoking? Chan Gailey as our head coach? Other than one year at Troy, he has been Mr. Mediocre at every stop. The crazy thing is that people are questioning Todd Haley in the same breath they are championing Gailey — that’s just nuts!
As an offensive coordinator in 2008, [...]

There seems to be a popular belief that Scott Pioli ranks at or somewhere near the top among NFL talent gurus - which seemingly includes an uncanny ability to find hidden talent deep in the draft. Surely one need look no further than Matt Cassell for proof of that, right?
Well, thought I, before I start using that perception as a basis for [...]

Would you have any interest in him? I would. He took the Eagles to five more conference championships than the Chiefs went to during this past decade. He also played some of his best football ever during the second half of this season. Remember, he went to the Super Bowl the year he had a [...]

Offense is fun to watch. To win, defense carries the day. We can all place our bets wherever we want. I am going to place mine on the side that shows consistent winning, the defense. - Merlin, aka Daddy Defense.

It looks like Tom Brady’s football vacation will end after missing one season, as ESPN is reporting that Brady expects to play on opening day.
Poor Matt Cassel. The guy finally gets to be Ferris Bueller for a season, and now he’s back to being Cameron Frye again. He even looks like Cameron Frye! Hell, he [...]

Let’s continue where we left off. Last week, we went through the defense and answered the question: “Can you win a Super Bowl with X starting for you?”. Also, we took the percentage of players with a yes answer and compared that to Herm’s statement that 85% of the foundation has been laid. Last week, [...]

I thought highly of Steve Spagnolo as a potential head coach for us. However, some news was just reported that makes me happy we did not get him. According to Pro Football Talk, Spagnuolo has just hired our very own Dick Curl as assistant head coach/quarterback coach. Imagine us hiring Spags only to have him [...]

“It’s a fun time if you have a job. It’s not a fun time when you’re a guy who doesn’t have a job.” - Herm Edwards
Before we leave the subject of “The Genius of Defeat” forever, it is appropriate that we give him credit for his multiple accomplishments in a short three-year tenure in K.C. [...]
