Morning Update (Beer Vendor Edition)

  • In the Bahamas, his home country, Kansas City Chiefs WR Devard Darling is a big deal.

  • A local KC area beer vendor wrote a book about his experiences. Any beer vendor blogs out there?

  • Speaking of beer vendors in KC, I went to the Royals game last night. In the third inning or so, a woman passed out All-Star game ballots, which she would pick up in a few innings. I grabbed mine and immediately started smelling the newly printed paper and ink, which I don't feel like I'm alone in doing. I glance up at the monster high def screen they have at Kauffman Stadium only to see myself with my face buried in my All-Star ballot. I did the customary, "Where is the camera?!?!" head swivel before everyone else laughed.

  • Stripe Hype, a Cincinnati Bengals blog, is being threatened with a lawsuit by the Cincinnati Bengals.

  • Hashmarks says that RB Travis Henry may be out in Denver, depending on whether or not the team brings another running back on. If Henry is cut, he'll actually have the time to make all of children's visitations.

  • Bob Kravitz of the Indy Star -- "What do any of us really know about what went down -- or didn't go down -- last week in Harrison's childhood neighborhood in Philadelphia?"

  • A lot of people were clamoring about drafing OG Eric Young out of Tennessee. I believe I even saw a few mock drafts with him going in the 5th round. Well, he was waived by the Browns yesterday, after a brief flirtation with the NFL. He may be back somewhere else but I wanted to point out how fans group think can accelerate so quickly without rhyme or reason.

I believe it was swift who asked for an updated list of the undrafted free agents (UDFA) the Kansas City Chiefs had signed. Here are the 17 initial UDFA signings, which were announced on May 2.

WR Jabari Arthur, WR Sean Bailey, K Connor Barth, FB Mike Cox, G Ian-Yates Cunningham, DE Johnny Dingle, S Ron Girault, CB Maurice Leggett, DT Derek Lokey, G Chris McDuffie, RB Kalvin McRae, DT Maurice Murray, LB Steve Octavien, DE Jason Parker, DE Jonal Saint-Dic, QB Ricky Santos and WR Luke Swan.

The Chiefs invited over 40 players to their rookie camp this past weekend, in addition to the players listed above. The only new signing I've come across is Arkansas LB Weston Dacus, who was invited to camp without a contract and left with a two-year deal.

More to come later today.

Its very unfortunate of some owners not to

take the real people who support NFL teams seriously, except at the ticket office and the souvenir shops. I do not know if the Bengal fans situation is due to lack of respect for the fan in general, or the internet itself. But what I do know, is that fans had better be taken seriously more than ever these days with the rising out of control gas and food prices, because I can see a time very soon where, the fans will have to make choices. Those choices will result in buying gas to get to work and to the store to buy food. Left out in the cold is the souvenirs, memorabilia and yes the tickets to the games.
As fewer tickets are sold, less money will be spent on television commercials and the television revenue stream the owners so enjoy will eventually dry up.
Maybe we should look more into “where have they gone segments now?”

There will never be a shortage of people willing to buy tickets

The NFL is too popular and there are too many people with money.

Speaking of 'Where are they now'

I saw last night on the news that Nick Lowery is getting married. Len Dawson said he was surprised because he never thought it would happen.

Wow

Lowery is the 5th all time NFL leading scorer.

No...

I cannot say I’ve ever tried to sniff all-star ballots, no.

Nick Lowery? The Keith Hernandez of kickers? Say it ain’t so.

Bizarre side note, I play basketball at the gym of the prep school Nick the Kick attended.

He was also born in Germany.

Wow

That Bengals lawsuit is about 10 kinds of bullshit. Seriously, this kind of crap is why they’re one of the worst organizations in professional sports. I honestly hope that team goes straight in the tank this year and that Carson Palmer demands a trade. He’s too good to be stuck with them.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

Also

I’m waiting to get the final approval to post an interview, so that’s why we haven’t had any more posts today.
