Coffee with the Chiefs – Love for Mario Kart

Good morning, Addicts! I can bring back the exclamation point today, because I’m not having a blinding mini-stroke over the health of Travis Kelce. It’s Wednesday, which means it is also … HUMMMMMMMMMP DAYYYYYYYYY. To help get you over the proverbial and aforementioned hump, we keep you up-to-date on all the latest Kansas City Chiefs happenings.

Here is the news you need to know:

Chiefs apparently love playing Mario Kart – Nick Schwartz of USA Today

"Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali shared this amazing video of six of his Kansas City Chiefs teammates facing in Mario Kart 7 inside the Chiefs locker room. Justin Houston, Eric Berry, Husain Abdullah and Derrick Johnson and two other Chiefs all brought their Nintendo 3DS to practice and waged a LAN battle."

Five Kansas City players make the ESPN top 100 players – Pete Sweeney of KCChiefs.com

"A panel of more than 70 voters made up of NFL analysts, reporters and statisticians (from ESPN and elsewhere), including former players and NFL front-office members, recently decided who they felt were the NFL’s top 100 players heading into the 2015 season."

Chiefs must accomplish more with all their talent – Adam Teicher of ESPN

"Those teams have achieved more with their talent in recent seasons than the Chiefs, who have one wild-card appearance but haven’t won a playoff game in the past four years. All of the others have at least won a division championship in the past four years, and each has won at least one playoff game."

Timing of Travis Kelce injury is good for Kansas City – Adam Teicher of ESPN

"So the timing of Kelce’s sprained ankle couldn’t be better for the Chiefs. Kelce, who left practice early on Monday because of the injury, should return to practice next week and be available for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Texans in Houston."
