Chiefs Arrive in River Falls for Training Camp

After a flight to Minneapolis and a bus ride to River Falls, the 2008 Kansas City Chiefs are settling into the dorm rooms of the university. Click here for pictures of the team's arrival. And here is the first update of the camp season. I think this bodes well for the future:

Chiefs’ Security Officer Ken Whiting shared of his trip up to UW-River Falls with the team. He said the demeanors of the players was quite different from last year. "They were mellow and hyped-up," he said. He attributed the vast difference of behavior to the amount of youth that joins the Chiefs for training camp. Whiting said he could feel the anxiousness from the players on the bus ride and anticipates a competitive camp.

Thinking back to last year after reading this quote and I have to say that last year's team did seem tired. Huard at quarterback. Larry Johnson coming off a monster rushing season. The fanbase got exhausted too. Tired is a good way to describe last year.

Practice begins tomorrow and there is an AM and a PM practice. Expect updates mid day and evening, along with the usual morning content.

This is what makes the UW-RF web site updates great
A player yelled from his third-floor window to a player sitting in a black Lincoln MKX on the street below. The player in the window wanted to know who the driver was taking to ShopKo with him, and if they wouldn’t mind waiting for him to come as well. The driver agreed to wait for his teammate.

I'm so excited.

Most of the offseason is so boring, but the last couple days AP has been full of posts. I feel like football season is really getting started! Can’t wait to hear the reports on how the players are progressing.

Stock tip

I’m buying shares of Saran Wrap and Duct Tape. It’s going to take truckloads of them to tie all the rookies to the goal posts!
