Goodbye!
Ciao!
Au revoir!
Sayonara, sucker!
Do svidan’ya, douchebag!
Hasta la vista, baby!
Pat Bowlen and his Denver Broncos are going to trade Jay Cutler. From PFT:
In a statement released Tuesday night, owner Pat Bowlen says that the team will accommodate quarterback Jay Cutler’s request for a trade:
“Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by [coach] Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful.
“A conversation with his agent earlier today clearly communicated and confirmed to us that Jay no longer has any desire to play for the Denver Broncos.
“We will begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request [...]

Alas, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback of the future Matt Cassel has chosen his number. And that number is…
7
Great Prince song, good Brad Pitt movie, a digit hated by PETA and a number that haunted Chiefs fans during the Martyball years. Hopefully, Cassel will reverse the curse and 7 will be a number that Chiefs fans learn to love.
Why did Cassel pick the number 7? Probably because a bunch of nobodies have worn it for the Chiefs, most recently Casey Printers and Justin Medlock. Becoming the greatest No. 7 won’t be much of a challenge for him. I like the choice. [...]

BPA can mean two things as far as NFL Draft lingo is concerned. Typically, it means “best player available,” but it can also mean “best position available.” In today’s NFL, all positions were not created equal. Here is how I rank the importance (not need) of all of the non-special teams positions considering our coaching staff, personnel and system, assuming we have moved to the hybrid 3-4:

Quarterback
Left Tackle
Pass-rushing Outside Linebacker
No. 1 Wide Receiver
Nose Tackle
Shutdown Cornerback
Inside Linebackers
No. 2 Wide Receiver
Right Tackle
Strong Safety
Right Defensive End
Left Guard
Tight End
Center
Right Guard
No. 2 Cornerback
Left Defensive End
Featured Running Back
Coverage Outside Linebacker
Free Safety
Slot Receiver
Nickel Corner
Third down/Change-of-pace Running Back
Fullback/H-Back
No. [...]

As I stood outside of Mizzou Arena yesterday I thought of the controversy and confusion of only three years ago. It seemed that only yesterday Mizzou fans were calling for Mike Alden’s head for bypassing the hiring of Bob Huggins as their coach for a relative unknown — Mike Anderson from UAB. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed.
During the next two years, Anderson set about rebuilding the Tigers. Players left willingly knowing their talents did not match Anderson’s “40 Minutes of Hell” playing style. He next began looking for a leader for his team. He thought he had one in a [...]

Personally, I think the drama is going to come later in the week, but a lot of people are projecting that we will have some answers regarding the Chiefs’ disgruntled vets — Brian Waters, Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez — when voluntary workouts kick off tomorrow. I guess we’ll have to wait and find out. Until then…
Addicts, what do you think will go down tomorrow, if anything?

By now, you’ve heard the news about Larry Johnson. You’ve heard that he can’t sip bubbly any more. You’ve heard that he can’t go to Blonde or any other bar or club after 9 PM. You’ve heard that he plans to report when the Chiefs kick off their voluntary workouts come Monday. You’ve heard that the Chiefs are filling a breach-of-contract grievance with the NFL to try to free themselves of the $3.75 million they owe wannabe Scarface Andre Rison  Jr.
What you haven’t read is this: Larry Johnson will not be wearing red on Sundays this fall…in Kansas City, anyway.
Say [...]

When a new regime comes to town, people naturally start looking at what those folks did in previous jobs. We do this to try to get an idea of what we can expect in the future. However, there is a danger of expecting a carbon copy. To wit, I want to talk about Kremlin Scott and what I believe we can expect.
The Chiefs are in a different position from the Patriots when Pioli came to town. It would be foolish to expect the exact same plan that Pioli executed with the Pats applied to the Chiefs. For example, just because [...]

You know a lot of us kind of get into a groove. You graduated high school, may have attended  college, you found a job, you got married, you had kids, and the next thing you know it will be time to retire and spend time with the grandchildren.
That’s not a life I chose for myself, I always kind of refused to live the “ordinary life.” I’ve always looked for adventures.
What is an ordinary life? Well that’s hard to define, but my guess is those who live one know exactly what I’m talking about and those who don’t also get [...]
