LIVE BLOGGING - Hard Knocks 2

PrintWell the reviews are in & I would say that the show has been a resounding success.
I was thrilled with last week & it sounds as if that was the general consensus from KC fans.
An avid sports-radio listner, I was struck by the fact that 610 talked about the show for two hours with their afternoon dud (duo) Neil & Marty. Meanwhile, EVERY commercial break had an ad for the show. I called them up & talked about the show, mentioned AP & live blogging & then called them out for pimping a show while it was being advertised.
I am truly unimpressed with the status of talk radio in this town. I don't have very many comparisons, but the "meat" is really lacking. They are more interested in "gossip news" rather than really analyzing a sport, game, etc. . . .
In 2005, when Hurricane Rita was coming to Florida and the Chiefs had to fly out early & play the Adam Schechter weighs in.. Incensed because I had to travel out of town that night for work, I was absolutely aghast that all Neil & Marty had to talk about was "how freaky" the circumstances were. Yes - freaky. Now can we please talk about the game? I laid into them on the air & got about ten callers calling after me saying, "Yea, I agree with her."
So anyway . . . .Let's live blog the show.

Dress
"No Mr. T starter kit."
Croyle, "I'm not big on bling."
CP / Herm History
Other players trust him.
"Miracle at the Meadowlands."
"More highs than lows."
"Player's coach - this guy played at this level. When he's speaking, he's saying something about being a player."
Former DB for the last starting spot in the defense. Rookie FA Breckinridge. FA Patterson is having a good amp.
Patterson is the surprise of camp - from DE coach.

Croyle
A fake boner!
Bennett
Two minute drill.
Geronimo. Rocket. Rocket - why are they giving away all our plays?
Croyle has a rocket for an arm. Hope he can make decisions.
Yea - they get the touchdown to TG.
Jump in - QB coach.
Best QB out there - CP.
HE - "somewhere along the line, you have to pull the trigger." HE is definitely pro-Croyle.
Printers - meh, who cares?
Bennett
Derrick Ross is well regarded and well traveled.
Dunn & T.E. commenting on Ross.
Ross looks fat.
Priest Holmes.
Coming off 22 months - "less is best." Learning curve physically is 22 months behind. Long way from making the team.
Working with bands.
"Be a lot easier if I could feel my ass."
CP - take it up a notch on PUP.
W/in 2 plays, all his wind was gone.
HE comparing to Priest to Marcus Allen.

Huard
Family Fun Night.
Thanksgiving & Christmas is like a nightmare. Players tend to lose their focus. Grinch is his number one nickname - Gun.
Football comes first.
"Fucking Arrowhead, okay."
Fuck ya!!
Turk & Tank
Turk is struggling.
"Take his ass and knock his ass straight over the coach."
Tank playing like his nickname.
Dwayne Bowe.
Sami Parker - working to keep his job.
Man, he sucks.
Free Agent Tryouts
Jared Allen.
"Go back and play some Skinnard & drink some milk." - Boomer Grimsby.
Boomer
Grisby is wearing HE's numbers. (My prediction is that Boomer gets cut, and I freaking love that guy.)
Boomer surprised everyone. "Boomer is a bange - not a scholar."
Poor Boom.
Trainer brought over - downhill from here.
Chess
Kennison talking to his son.
Croyle talking to his kids over the Internet.
Kennison talking dirty to his wife. Wife having none of it.
Damon
Still the best part of both episodes is Jason Dunn getting upset about not getting the 1st floor even though he's a veteran. I LOVE this show because those are things that are interesting/funny that we would never hear about.

Cleveland
DONNIE FREAKING EDWARDS!!!!
Tank snores according to Turk.
"Snores loud - like stupid loud."
"Tank is going to snore you a narkingbird."
Grigsby
The Cleveland game:
Who cares? Preseason games are a joke.
Turk had a bad bame.
Tank excels. "I wasn't nervous, I was tired."

Sorry I can't be around for these. I don't have HBO and have to go to my parent's house for it.
