LIVE BLOGGING - Hard Knocks 2
Well 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.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Arrowhead Pride's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Arrowhead Pride writers or editors.

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.

TG, "You have to make those kicks. There isn't going to be any second chances."
Defense is hazing Medlock as he kicks.

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?

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?)

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!!

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.

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.

The Cleveland game:

Turk had a bad bame.
Tank excels. "I wasn't nervous, I was tired."
