You want Larry Johnson running angry again this year? Well he just broke up with his long time girlfriend.

And we do need a nickname for Glenn Dorsey. We failed greatly last year when choosing a nickname for Brodie Croyle. For some reason, I was pretty set on B. Dazzle. Looking back on it, that name is freakin' terrible.

Jared Allen, by the numbers.

Wow. Looks like Wachovia banned AP and Arrowhead Addict from their work servers. This trick may work but I'm not sure. It's a worth a try. Go here to Google Translate, enter in www.arrowheadpride.com and translate it into English. It may work, may not. Good luck you Wachovia employees reading this from home and then going in to work.

I'm not surprised at all that Mr. Wendler worked in a Star Trek mention in his latest article out of WPI.

Got a kick out of this headline from The Falcoholic - Someone Is Actually Willing To Pay Us For Joe Horn.

Another good read from Stampede Blue this time - David Terrell, Koren Robinson, Rod Gardner, Santana Moss, Freddie Mitchell or Reggie Wayne?.

Blogging the Boys is running down the top ten Cowboy moments of 2007. You think we can give that a stab here? Do we have ten plays we'd like to remember from 2007? Seriously.

That screen shot at the top is from Madden 2009, which ships in August. For me, it doesn't get any better than Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for Sega Genesis. The announcer on kick offs was the best - "It's up, it's high and it's good." I remember sitting there at age 11 thinking technology had a long, long way to go.

DJ's post from yesterday still has a lot of good discussion going on. SI.com is now featuring our front page stuff on its Chiefs section which means, if you write something great and I bump it up to the front page, your post will be sitting there with the KCChiefs.com content and the Kansas City Star content. For example, right now, DJ's headline is linked on the SI.com homepage at the bottom right under the Chiefs news.

Pretty cool, huh? All the more motivation for me and you to knock it out of the park with each post. Keep up the good work everyone.

Nice work yesterday, DJ

The inaugural SI.com AP post. I thought there were a lot of newbies posting yesterday. It actually worked out pretty well.

I stand correct

We do have ten plays. That’s a good start.

Ooooo...

That Madden 09 screenshot is making me seriously reconsider my vow not to buy the game until at least a month after the release date. Last year’s version was so glitchy that it almost made me beat my X-Box 360 into little plastic pieces (even though it wasn’t the X-Box’s fault). But those graphics look like a significant upgrade. Wonder how the gamplay is and if they were able to release it without fatal flaws.

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

That picture reminds me of a Chiefs Coalition thread I read this morning

Croyle or Cutler? Right now, would you trade BC for JC?

Huh?

Of course I would…

by primetime 07 on Jun 27, 2008 10:51 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

In fact

If I were starting a team today, Cutler would probably be in my top 5.

Unrealistic...

In the image it looks like Tamba isn’t going to get to Cutler in time.

For what it’s worth, my suggestion for “Swamp Thing” to be Glen Dorsey’s nickname is gathering stream over at AA.

By the way, I’ve enjoyed this site for awhile, but this is my first post.

Welcome

Swamp thing sounds good. From the Louisiana bayou…

Thanks!

I’m not living in KC any longer so this site fills a gap that the mother ship, the star, and national media couldn’t by themselves.

A fun fact: my family has season tickets (I’d get to go about half of the time), and I saw 64 straight victories in Arrowhead starting in 1988.

A not so fun fact: I was given the option of going to one of the “possible two” playoff games in ‘95, ‘97, and ‘03. I elected to chance it and “go to the conference championship” each year. Consequently, I still haven’t been to a playoff game.

This almost made me shart in my Nikes

Someone posted this recommendation:

I think Glen "Pepto" Dorsey sounds good. I think it fits his playing style because he’ll be stopping the runs!

I’m still grinning.
