It’s Time To Get Behind The Chiefs!

ArrowheadAddict and its’ commenters have done a lot of criticizing and praising of our team since the end of last season and rightly so. With training camp upon us, I am of the opinion that it is time to forget the past, fully support and get behind the team. There is a tremendous [...]

Merlin’s Magic: Training Camp Preview Edition

OK Addicts, it’s training camp time. The Chiefs are off to River Falls and it’s time to look at the keys to training camp. What are the important areas to look at this year?
1] Cassel has to be the man. The biggest pile of BS coming out of Pioli/Haley is the idea that there is [...]

What About Herm? The Effects Of The Herm Era Linger

After three years of suffering through bad coaching and poor game decisions, I finally thought in January we were rid of Herm Edwards.

Brown Over Pollard = Good News For The Chiefs? Um…

If it’s not Whitlock, then it’s mofo Teicher. This mindjob is now suggesting that our best young defensive player getting beaten out for a starting spot by an aging, possibly even washed-up, vet would be “good news.” From The Kansas City Star:
4. Color them Brown
It’s a good sign if veteran strong safety Mike Brown wins [...]

Hilarious Erin Andrews/Jason Whitlock FOX Sports Image

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, the nothing-if-not-opportunistic, part-time Chiefs columnist Jason Whitlock has used the Erin Andrews peephole scandal as an opportunity to dogpile on Deadspin and the sports blogosphere. That’s interesting and all, I suppose, but it’s kind of old news for Big Sexy. He’s been there, done that.
The real story here is that ridiculous [...]

Pitchforks And Torches?

Or should I make that Tomahawks and Flaming Arrows?
Today I ponder the notion of whether where a team owner happens to live has anything to do whether or not that team is successful.  So everybody is clear on this, I do not know the answer to that question and I do not have anything more than anecdotal evidence to contribute to the discussion. More importantly, [...]
