About
Welcome to Arrowhead Addict, the Kansas City Chiefs news and opinion site, by fans and for fans, brought to you by the FanSided Network. In fact, Arrowhead Addict was the very first site in the network and the one that inspired it all, dating all the way back to 2007. Arrowhead Addict aims to deliver up-to-date Chiefs news with team-specific analysis you cannot find anywhere else. With more than 100,000 followers on X and 71,000 on Facebook, as well as a podcast that broadcasts multiple times per week and a Discord channel, Arrowhead Addict is the best place for Chiefs fans to come together to enjoy their team. The editorial team are fans too and create content as they closely follow every move the Chiefs make. From the dark times to Super Bowl highs, several of which we covered on location, Arrowhead Addict covers everything from news and rumors, including roster moves, injuries, trades, industry buzz, and analysis, using reputable sources such as Pro-Football-Reference, NFL.com, PFF.com, and more. Overseen by a full-time editor, Arrowhead Addict edits all submissions and encourages you to submit any corrections that are necessary. Updates or corrections to articles after publication are communicated via an editor's note. FanSided is owned and operated by Minute Media, whose other brands also include Sports Illustrated, The Players' Tribune, 90min, and Mental Floss.

Charles Robinson
New dad, middle aged husband. Do not own a pair of Air Monarchs yet but I'm still living the suburban dream. As a creatively driven writer, I've been working to bring color and flavor to Chiefs coverage online since the beginning of the 2021 season. My obsession with the Chiefs runs deep, and my goal is to channel this borderline insanity into entertaining words for you - my fellow members of Chiefs Kingdom. My accolades as an athlete solely include being the all time leader in double bogey saves. I'm also a basset hound enthusiast dabbling in black labs.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
