Weird...the picture above appears to show our LT getting beat.
- Adam Teicher has more on Derrick Johnson's switch to MLB.
- Thigpen talks about teams actually, you know, worrying about playing the Chiefs.
- Larry Johnson has a new court date (H/T NJChiefsFan in the FanShots).
- Bob Gretz breaks down the Chiefs 16 play, 91 yard drive against the Raiders and surprisingly says it wasn't as efficient as everyone thinks.
- The Raiders/Chargers game tonight will be shown in 3-D in some theaters. L.A., New York, San Diego and Boston (at a theater owned by the Kraft's who own the Patriots) will show the games in 3-D. Curiously, it won't be shown in 3-D in Oakland.
- MHR has plenty of links up so you can get up to date on the Broncos.
- The Broncos are well aware of Tyler Thigpen's running ability and are game planning for it.
- Ricky Williams misses the football fans from his CFL days. Really?
- Totally unrelated to anything Chiefs (or football for that matter) but check out this video of an unreal finish in a D-III basketball game.
Tyler Thigpen pretty much dominates the Chiefs news these days. He's the guy everyone wants to talk about. He's the guy everyone is wondering about. So, until some other players step it up (sans TG), we'll just have to get used to hearing about our very own media darling, Tyler Thigpen.
Also, we are organizing the AP Draft Guide that Lanier63 started a few weeks ago. We'll take a look at it this week so everyone knows their assignments prior to the bowl games and we can figure out how we want to proceed with it.

Thigpen
He’s getting the attention because he’s probably the only interesting thing about this team this year. Nobody on the defense really qualifies. Tony Gonzalez is still our best player but he’s a TE. LJ’s only been interesting for his off-field problems. Thigpen’s the attraction by default.
The Chiefs should win 5 to 6 games this year and no less than 4 for this season to be considered progress in any way. If he can't win at least 9 games next season, Herm's a joke.
I think this NFL season...
has, in general, lacked interseting story lines. I think to date, its been a crappy season and not just because the Chiefs are shwagging out. The dominatant teams aren’t interesting, no one is putting up crazy numbers, lots of injuries, and the biggest stories have been for off the field stuff.
It's Definitely A Weird Year
But you’re right…there’s not a ton of compelling stuff other than maybe Al Davis finally going public with just how crazy he is.

The Giants and Jets are good
That’s all the league cares about.

But You Don't Even Hear That Much About The Giants
Since Shockey’s gone that team seems pretty drama-free (they definitely stuck New Orleans in that deal). One of the most quiet dominant teams you’ll ever see.

Whoops :)
Absolutely true…but the Giants have gotten rid of his distraction as well. Very sharp GM they’ve got running things right now. When he’s got a problem, he gets rid of that problem without hurting the team in the process.

Barber, Shockey, Manning, Plaxico, Arrington
Now that team of Giants wasn’t drama free. But yes since shockey’s departure, pretty much just Plax.
you know
If I was a GM, and my team would probably suck, I would want a clause in every players contract that said, “If you make more personal headlines each week than the team does for game playing, then you are out of here and owe us the remainder of your contract”
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
LOL
Love the preface. “If I was a GM, and my team would probably suck”. +1

3D
The Raiders/Chargers game tonight will be shown in 3-D in some theaters.
Expect lots of balls thrown directly at the camera to show how cool 3D is.
Blame my wife!
I wonder...
If they picked a game with JaMarcus Russell in it for that very reason…because the likelihood is that much greater…
I, personally, would love to pay to see LT tackled for a one yard gain and Rivers whine in 3D….(sarcasm…)
That picture...
Something doesn’t seem right about it. First of all, isn’t that Merriman? And isn’t he on IR this year? Second, how come that left tackle is white?
Perhaps it is the fullback getting beat, or perhaps that is a picture from last year?
I’m too lazy to go to the Chargers website and verify who that is….
