The Morning Fix

“I grew up,” Haley says now, “watching my father get four Super Bowl rings. That’s what it’s about for me. I just want to get to another Super Bowl. Once you’ve been there, and once you’ve tasted that — you’ve been so close. I mean, that just drives you. Just drives you beyond anything you can imagine, or I can imagine.”

All good challenges, he says, begin with some difficulty. Some burn out, and others turn back. Others can’t help themselves. They have to keep going.

“It gets in the back of your head,” Haley says. “If we can keep doing things to keep making progress and keep adding pieces …”

Now, after the Chiefs drub the Cards tomorrow, would Whisenhunt contemplate such a move? No way no how. Whiz is a better man than that. He will always show class and respect for others even if he personally feels it is undeserving. It’s all about doing what is right and leading by example. So know this, no matter how much the Chiefs win by on Sunday, Haley and Whiz will still hand shake and be friends.

Who’s not

Kansas City Chiefs running back Thomas Jones has touched the ball 43 times in the past three weeks, gaining 117 yards. That’s an average of 14 touches for 39 yards

It should be interested to see how Derek Anderson handles the crowd noise in Arrowhead. The Kansas City Chiefs have given their fans to cheer again. They are 5-4 and in the thick of the AFC West race. Expect if things go wrong on Sunday for the Cards, expect it to snowball quickly. You will be able to partially thank the crowd for that.
