Friday Night Open Thread

Good evening everyone.

I'm sick and pretty much down for the count tonight while Mrs. Arrowhead Pride (emphasis on the "r" nowadays) is out with a friend to see...Diane Keaton. Yeah. Diane. Keaton. I mean, is she really that intriguing that people will pay to hear her just talk? I really don't get it. The ladies of AP (all four of you) please explain to me the appeal of one Diane Keaton. Is she 40 years old? Or 75?

Okay. Total, weird tangent there. I don't know where that came from. Anyway, this is an open thread for tonight. I noticed the last couple of FanShots were filling up fast with comments so I wanted to get a new thread up to satiate the needs of the AP readership.

Chat away about whatever's on your mind.

Bill Belichick talks a little about the development of Matt Cassel and what he looks for in a quarterback with Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole. Great read. Like him or love him, Hoodie is a genius.

AP Power Rankings Week 9: Better Late Than Never Edition

Screen_shot_2009-10-18_at_4

Welcome to Week 9 of your AP Power Rankings. We are a little late in the posting this week due to the fact that my boss demanded I actually do a little work. Sorry for the delay but what better to spice up your Friday afternoon than a subjective, collective opinion of 10 guys you’ve never met about the NFL? We have a lot to talk about this week but first we would like you to read the following;

HALEY: "Let me say [something] on this signage issue that is apparently just going off the charts from what I heard. What I told you guys is the truth. That sign was actually talked about in February. We have many signs up and in many different spots. I wanted that one in an area where the players would see it on their way to the field.

"It’s quoted by a Hall of Fame New York Giant, a player. It was in our New York Jets facility and in our Dallas Cowboys facility. Not in the locker but in the facility where the players and everybody could see it. We’ve got a bunch of former Jets here. Richie Anderson actually reminded me of that sign and how much it meant to him as a player. So, that’s the origin of the sign."

Looking Like Chiefs S Jon McGraw Will Be Out Against the Jaguars

Chiefs S Jon McGraw looks like he'll be out this weekend. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)

With each passing day, the chances of Kansas City Chiefs S Jon McGraw playing on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars appear to dwindle.  

McGraw missed practice again today, which makes it two consecutive weeks missed.  He's suffering from what the organization calls a strain in his leg.

Normally, this wouldn't be a huge deal, but the Chiefs other true free safety, Jarrad Page, was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, ending his season.

CB Mike Richardson also returned to practice today after being out for two days with an illness.

With Page out, McGraw's injury is causing a bit of a domino effect:

  • SS DaJuan Morgan moves to the starting role at FS
  • Who is backing up Mike Brown at SS now?
  • CB Maurice Leggett has been seeing time at FS behind Morgan
  • CB Travis Daniels was signed and is providing depth at CB (possibly because Leggett is seeing extra time at FS)

Since McGraw hasn't practiced in two weeks, I'd imagine ruling him out for Sunday is just a formality at this point.  The Chiefs will release their injury report today and II think he'll be listed as doubtful (25% chance of playing) or out.

My prediction is 27-24, Jacksonville.  I think the Kansas City Chiefs offense will do a little bit better in this game.  However, it will not be enough.

Whitlock Takes Aim at Chiefs Brass (On the Radio Edition)

Yesterday on 610 Sports, Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star joined Chris and Cowboy to talk about the newest drama at Arrowhead - The Sign.

And in typical Whitlock style, he holds nothing back.  He ranges from calling the new administration "stupid" with their decisions, "clueless" at times and, of course, arrogant.

This might be the best line, though: 

"It's amateur hour over there. Carl Peterson is somewhere laughing his ass off and I know Herm Edwards is laughing his ass off."

After the jump, I've pulled out a bunch of snippets from his interview, which you can listen to here.  He also relayed many of these feelings in his column this morning.
