It's not quite night time but we're getting there. At least it's the weekend. And a holiday weekend at that.

This is your Friday open thread for the week. Use it to talk about whatever you'd like but first, make sure you give us your victory of the week. It can be professional, personal or both.

My victory is finally getting a vacation scheduled for next weekend. It's just a short trip to see some in-laws but should prove to be incredibly relaxing. It's been awhile since I had a non-working vacation.

What's your victory of the week?

With OTA's underway and the fans starting to look forward at the 2012 season, predictions are running rampant. There are always obvious contenders and cellar dwellers that take up about half of the league. Then you have the x-factors. The Kansas City Chiefs for many are one of those teams.

Sloooow Friday before a holiday weekend. You're probably not even at work.

So give us your best one-liner for what's on Brady Quinn's mind.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel held his customary post-OTA press conference yesterday and we've got a few quotes from it.

Q: How do your quarterbacks look so far?

A: "I think that they're doing pretty good. I think they're beginning to gain a command of the system and some of the checks that we have in place. They're all doing well. Probably, Brady (Quinn) and Matt (Cassel) are a little ahead of (Ricky) Stanzi right now, but they're all working at it. They're a good group in that room, so we feel good about them."

More after the jump.

Good morning! Here is today's Kansas City Chiefs news. Have a great weekend and be safe, friends.

On Thursday's second snap from scrimmage Poe burst through the line and found his way to QB Matt Cassel. Pads are absent from OTAs and no live contact is permitted, but Poe was able to show impressive strength and quickness on the play.

"If you can practice without pads, you can do it with pads," Poe said earlier this week. "It's about your hands and your steps and being explosive through your hips. Once you get that down, the other stuff becomes easier."

The Chiefs said when they drafted the 346-pound Poe they believed he would become an all-round player capable of helping when they defended the pass and the run. But they also acknowledged he had a lot to learn, meaning they might have to choose a more limited role for Poe - at least early in his career and until he becomes more comfortable playing the NFL game.

Crennel wouldn't say the Chiefs have made that decision yet with Poe.

Another day. Another dollar. It's Thursday. Almost Friday. I hope you can make it.

For many of us, we're on the verge of a three-day vacation. What do you have planned for the Memorial Day weekend? Beach? Work? Absolutely nothing?

As always, this is your open thread for the evening. Use it to talk about whatever you'd like.
