LIVE BLOGGING - Hard Knocks 2

Well the reviews are in & I would say that the show has been a resounding success.

Kansas City Star article

Sporting News

Adam Schechter weighs in.

Star-divide

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.

Which coach

Hilarious.
Chris had a picture of this up last week.  I'd be interested to hear some more rookie hazing stories.

Dress
HE is giving advice about what to wear.

"No Mr. T starter kit."

Croyle, "I'm not big on bling."

CP / Herm History
CP timed him.

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.

Benny Sapp
Benny Sapp is snorting like crazy & the DB wants him to stop.

"Got little worms in there." - HE on Sapp's dreads.

Ty Law, "stank ass head."

Medlock
"Stay here all day until you make it." - HE

TG, "You have to make those kicks.  There isn't going to be any second chances."

Defense is hazing Medlock as he kicks.

You play to win the game!

by tailgateandwin on Aug 15, 2007 9:16 PM CDT reply actions  

Good for Medlock
This is just a sampling of the pressure he'll feel.  One coach said what's he going to do when there's three seconds left in December and you gotta make this kick to beat Denver and get into the playoffs.

Turley / Right Tackle
Shows him going up the depth chart.

Pass protection is strong.

Love the game of football.

Bennett
He looks so young!

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
Seven year vet.

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.  

(Was Herm playing with his balls?)

You play to win the game!

priest
anyone else notice how small he looks compared to when he was playing a couple years ago? he used to be absolutely jacked, now it looks like he's lost a lot of his muscle mass from not being able to do anything physical for the past two years, he's going to have to bulk up big time and in a hurry if he ever wants to see the playing field, not to mention the coaches don't even mention his name when talking about a #3 back.

by Chiefs n Chopper on Aug 16, 2007 11:39 AM CDT up reply actions  

He said he hadn't been working out.
He said that up until a couple weeks ago that the doctors hadn't let him work out the entire time he was off.

Huard
Missing his kids.  

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
"What the hell you doing, 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.

Boomer
Folk hero.

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.

Damon
was talking to his kids on the internet if I remember correctly.  

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.

by Joel Thorman on Aug 16, 2007 7:36 AM CDT up reply actions  

Totally Agree
I like seeing them as "real" people.

It endears the Chiefs to me even more, and I am pretty damm in love with the Chiefs.

Cheers.

The Cleveland game:

Who cares?  Preseason games are a joke.

Tank excels.  "I wasn't nervous, I was tired."

I found myself
laughing out loud a lot in this episode. I love Herm's sense of humor.

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

Sirius NFL Radio
is the only way to go.

Another excellent job of blogging this.  All of us non-HBOers out there thank you.

I second the
Sirius nod. NFL radio is fantastic. Farrell's show on Howard 101 isn't bad either.

The Tank
snoring thing was hilarious.  They showed them 6 hours later and Turk was still awake.  HAHAHA
