Zubaz pants again this morning...And is it Zoo-baz or Zoo-buzz?
- A lot of people seemed content with Larry Johnson's apology on Wednesday for his recently reported behavior. Except Mike Hendricks of the KC Star and myself. I couldn't see Larry's press conference for more than what press conference's have become these days - a quick way to get people off your back. Hendrick's brings up Will Shields as the ultimate Chiefs' example of a man and he's right on. I'm going to forget about Larry's apology and wait to see how he backs it up, on and off the field.
- The Kansas City Chiefs don't want Tyler Thigpen to run the ball recklessly. I'm guessing it's because the Chiefs don't want the distinction of having to start their fourth quarterback of the season.
- Gotta disagree with Crane over at AA this morning. I think Bob Gretz does a hell of a job and frankly I feel lucky that he relates little nuances of the game in his blog that we would otherwise never know.
- I'm guessing Laveranues Coles and a few other Jets don't play on Sunday.
- Nick Athan of WPI steps out on a limb with this quote - "Right now Gonzalez’s legacy is a bit tarnished and probably will remain so until he publicly states that he will not ask for a trade in the offseason, that he’s going to retire a Chief, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to make his team a Super Bowl contender."
- (Relatively) new commenter Merriam Matt throws out an interesting name in this FanPost.
- Titans RB Chris Johnson was fined $10,000 for his post-TD celebration against the Chiefs when he banged on the drums of the Chiefs' TD Pack Band. At that point in the game, I thought it was pretty funny too.
- Damon Huard tore ligaments in his hand, which I have to say is a legit injury. I have to take back anything I said about Huard's absence being due to his lack of motivation.
- Finally, head to the UW-RF Chiefs web site and be magically whisked away to a time before the 2008 season became a #$%@ show.

On Gonzalez
B.S. on it tarnishing his legacy. He’s just sick of losing badly, which is all the Chiefs have done.
Posnanski had it right in his blog the other day…the only person who should be diminished by Gonzalez’s trade request is Carl Peterson. As Posnanski pointed out, Peterson did the second-worst thing a GM can do by telling his star that they would try to trade him mid-season (which almost guaranteed we’d never get value once that trade request became public) instead of telling him it would have to wait until the offseason…then he did the worst thing a GM can do by failing to get a trade done.
I wouldn’t want to work for an organization that incompetently run either.

I agree with Nick Athan's article
Gonzalez is a Chief and was treated like royalty here. What’s B.S. is that when times get tough he wants to abandon us. I think he does deserve a Super Bowl, but I’d like it to be in a Chiefs uniform.

What's B.S.
Is that Carl Peterson didn’t man up and tell him that a trade wasn’t a likelihood in mid-season.
As for “abandoning” the team in tough times, this team’s been to the playoffs twice in the last decade. He’s stuck around plenty long in the tough times. We certainly aren’t under any obligation to trade him, but he’s not being an ingrate for requesting one.

I think most fans
Agree with you. I certainly do. Perhaps Tony’s reputation has been slightly tarnished, but not by much. The overwhelming comments on sports talk radio seem to be in support of Tony.

Bro
Gonzalez had his chance out w/ Buffalo so technically Peterson honored that request. Peterson has done enough to tarnish his own image but Tony equally bungled this trade request, make no “Bones” about it

Will Shields in a Tommie Frazier jersey?
Anyone else find that weird? I know he went to Husker Nation but I didn’t think everyone still revered Frazier.

ESPN should pay Johnson's fine
There wouldn’t have been any highlights of the game if he didn’t bang-a-gong-get-it-on.

Seriously
I should just change the title of Morning Update to the Zoo-Buzz

I respect you guys
You guys are still active in cheering on the Chiefs and paying attention to the news. I’m going to the game this weekend and I must tell you I’m just not that excited. I’ve lost faith in this team and I am just glad to know you guys haven’t. I’ll always be a Chiefs fan I just can’t believe I’m rooting for us to lose so we can: A. Fire Herm/Carl/ triumvirate; and B. Get a nice high pick (Bradford). I never thought it would come to this – this is by far the worst season I can remember us having and I’ve been a fan for 17 years.

Make the best of it.
Spike the watermellon and then bring it to the game. After a few slices the score won’t matter.

haha
I agree – I’m going to drink many silver bullets. At least I finally get to see Favre play. He’s a legend and fun to watch. It’s kind of funny too because we match up with the Jets well – a la Denver. So I wouldn’t be totally surprised if we pulled the upset.

W.W.W.S.D.
I love it! Where can we get the braclet?

Sorry
But I already live my live by the philosophy of W.W.B.C.D. (What Would Bruce Campbell Do?).

Have you ever seen the movie Crimewave?
It’s terrible. The only redeeming quality is Bruce Campbell, whose part is small.

I mean one of the worst movies ever

I Haven't Seen Crimewave
But I’ve seen “Evil Dead” and “Army of Darkness” about a dozen times each and I’m one of the dozen people who bought the DVD of “Brisco County, Jr.” Campbell also wrote the best autobiography I’ve ever read. Just a really interesting guy…automatically makes any film he’s in better.

Read the wiki on Crimewave first
Because it’ll put the film into perspective. They were basically trying to capitalize on the success of both of those movies you mentioned…
And it was horrible.
by AngryJesus on Oct 24, 2008 4:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No Movie
Could be more horrible than the most recent remake of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” (with Marlon Brando). It’s not possible.
Although “Highlander 2: The Quickening” came very close.

If you ever watch Crimewave
Come back to this thread and defend those statements.
I haven’t seen either of those two you just mentioned, though :\

You Don't Want To See Them
Trust me…“The Island of Dr. Moreau” was the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever seen on the screen, and I’ve seen a lot of movies. Utterly unredeemable from every angle.
“Highlander 2” at least had the saving grace of not being a major release so there wasn’t as much of an expectation of it being good. But it was a horrible, horrible, horrible movie. How bad was it? Well, when the studio decided to make “Highlander 3” they storyline continued as though “Highlander 2” had never existed. I went on opening night with a bunch of fraternity brothers and one of them started heckling the film halfway through and the packed theater started cheering him on.

Although I Do Remember Reading About "Crimewave" In Campbell's Autobiography
Sounded like a terrible film. Even though it had the Coen brothers and Sam Raimi writing it :)

Zoo-bahz
I would add one more option to the pronunciation survey: Zoo-bahz. Instead of a short a sound as in “cat” or a u sound as in “buzz”, I pronounce the colorful pattern with an ah sound, similar to the beginning of “awesome”.

Re: Andre Woodson.
I threw that name out there weeks ago. Weeks ago.
Like, the first time Croyle went down, after we had the whole Huard – whats-his-name? – Thigpen rotation thing.
I said, “Hey, isn’t Andre Woodson sitting on some practice squad somewhere? Wouldn’t he be better than the mess we’ve got right now? Why don’t the Chiefs pick him up … ?”
Just sayin’.
