Steve McNair is dead at 36


First report I found - here

Steve McNair was apparently shot in the head.  I've heard things ranging from it was Steve and his girlfriend that were killed... supposedly by another mistress.  Sounds like a wicked triangle that ended up going wrong.  I can't confirm or deny any of this at this point.. 

From what I hear it occurred in downtown Nashville today. 

What terrible news to hear on this 4th of July.  Even though he left for Baltimore at the end of his career, Steve was well loved in Nashville.  He was the face of the Titans franchise for years.

Regardless of his issues, it is a terrible loss.

As off-season workouts drug on well into the summer, it would have been easy to kick back and relax in his down time. Not so for this former Virginia Cavalier. Instead of flipping on the television, Albert brought his 6-5 frame to Children’s Mercy Hospital. His mission was to spread cheer to those confined within its walls.

"I really didn’t know what to expect," admitted the former two-way prep standout. "But I have to be honest, I walked out of there thinking about how glad I was that I went. The looks on those kids faces were priceless."

Former Kansas City Chiefs Coordinator Talks Matt Cassel, Larry Johnson

Al-saunders-012708_medium

You take one picture with Tom Cruise and ruin Google Image search forever.

Al Saunders was the assistant head coach and wide receivers coach for the Kansas City Chiefs with Marty Schottenheimer from 1989-1998 and offensive coordinator with Dick Vermeil from 2001-2005.

Is it a coincidence the Chiefs had some successful years in those time spans?

Saunders coached and later came back to coach again with two teams - the Chiefs and Rams.  Boy, I wouldn't mind one bit of Saunders came back to Kansas City as a coordinator.  No knock against Chan Gailey, who's done a fine job in his own right, but Saunders is the class of offensive coordinators.

Saunders joined The Border Patrol on 810 WHB last Thursday to talk football, his year off and the direction of the Kansas City Chiefs.  Here is a link to the interview.

For your convenience, I transcribed much of the interview which appears after the jump.  The best line?  "That defense was so, so bad last year."

Happy 4th of July from Arrowhead Pride


via zlek131

Phone rings...

Primetime: Hello?

Chris: Man, this place doesn't even have wireless internet!  Can you wish everyone a Happy 4th on the site?

Ah, such is life in small town North Carolina.  Chris is with Ms. AP's family and I'll be heading out to Ms. Primetime's family function in Pomona, KS.  Fireworks, BBQ and beer (and Ms. Primetime is driving!)...I'm excited.

Happy 4th of July to everyone.  Thanks to everyone for reading, commenting and posting (especially NJChiefsFan and GenericBrand for tearing it up in the FanShots recently) as we get through the dead zone of the NFL season. 

After the jump are some good links to get you going today as we continue to wait the final 36 days to Canton...

Orlando acquired UFL rights to Vick in an allocation draft of players not under contract in the NFL.

Orlando franchise secured the rights to Vick IF he goes to the UFL - ESPN

Since Vick is back in the news, I figured it was worth reminding you what a Chiefs spokesperson said about him a while back: "The Chiefs have no comment regarding Michael Vick. They haven't given any thought to it. They don't want to be involved in any conversation about Michael Vick."

Former Chiefs Tryout Player to Become a College Coach

539w_large_medium

After failing to get a contract offer from the Kansas City Chiefs, Bobby Abare is headed back to school

To coach.

Abare was a rookie mini-camp invitee for the Chiefs back in May but the former Yale University All-American linebacker will now become the linebackers coach for Wagner College in New York.

If you recall, Abare was one of the 34 first and second year players invited to the Chiefs mini-camp on May 8-10 on a tryout basis.  He wasn't one of the twelve undrafted players to which the team offered contracts.

Per Wagner's head coach, Frank Hameline, Abare's experience and smarts should help him in his new career on the coaching side of things.

"We’re thrilled to add Bobby Abare to the Wagner program. His passion and knowledge of the game will be major assets and I think he is well-equipped to translate that success to our players."

His experience on winning ball clubs shouldn't hurt either.  In high school, Abare's teams went 50-0 and won four state titles.   Wow.  And I thought my alma mater was impressive.  He also won a ridiculous amount of awards while at Yale.

If Abare's looking to make it to the professional ranks, then he's picked a position with a good pedigree.  The man he's replacing at Wagner just left to head up the Seahawks secondary.

Abare will also be pursuing a Master's degree while at Wagner College.

A player who quickly turned up a job in coaching and has a history of success of special teams?  I'm surprised he wasn't offered a deal with the Chiefs.
