St. Louis Rams @ Kansas City Chiefs

Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri

When: ~~6 PM Central time~~ DELAYED DUE TO WEATHER. NEW GAME TIME IS 7:30 PM CENTRAL TIME.

Chiefs Blogs: Home of the Chiefs, Arrowhead Addict, BobGretz.com, KC Chiefs Football, Red Zone, The Mothership and KC Chiefs Fanatic.

Coverage of the game leading up to now is here.

Listen online here.

Yes, siree. The Governor's Cup is upon us and the two sides of the great state of Missouri are set to do battle once again.

Trent Green, Al Saunders, Dante Hall and the rest of the Rams come into Arrowhead Stadium this evening to duke it out with the best Kansas City has to offer. Well not the best. It is the fourth preseason game and none of the starters will play very long.

But it is football. On a Thursday no less.

So kick back, open up a beer that you didn't pay $12 for (unless you like some insanely nice beer that I've never heard of) and join us for the open thread. For the newbies, the auto-refresh comment feature of SB Nation means new comments pop up immediately, almost like a chat room.

Let's jump right in.

GOOOOO CHIEFS!!!

I hope the 101 stream actually streams more than half the game this week.

nice graphic

Thank you for correctly making the KC helmet 150% larger than the Lambs Lid… as it should be!!

Here goes another night of me ignoring what happens...

When the regular season starts, I’ll participate in the game day threads. For now, I will be blinding myself to all things NFL until I can watch the game tomorrow.

Out of towners – NFLN is playing this game at 2:00a cst I believe. Set your DVR’s/TIVO’s!!

I used to do game threads

But then I ended up missing half the game reading what people were posting. So I force myself to sit on the couch away from the computer so I know what the hell is going on.

Ditto

plus, during games I an usually a tad messed up and hungry, so when I try to blog I always end up mistyping and repeating myself after i take a bite.

My blogging usually falls off

in the second half for those exact reasons.

I know what you mean

Until I got a laptop. Now I sit on my couch with the TV on and the laptop with me.

Is it true game is delayed 30 min due to weather?

by NJChiefsFan on Aug 28, 2008 5:56 PM CDT 0 recs

Not sure

But that’s what I’m reading in a chat room right now.

Game time is 7:05

by primetime 07 on Aug 28, 2008 6:00 PM CDT up 0 recs

So an hour delayed?

Just making sure that’s not eastern or something.

by Chris on Aug 28, 2008 6:02 PM CDT up 0 recs

Yep you're right

Thanks Primetime.

Sprint shouldn't be spending a ton of money

with their bad spot they’re currently in.

Chiefs team up with IMG?

Apparently the Chiefs hired the group IMG to shop the stadium naming rights.

Sprint field at Arrowhead stadium…?

Noes. I have a fantasy draft at 10:30 est. It was scheduled around this game.

Well, at least I will be sloppy enough by then to forget I need more than one receiver.

Ratings vs. Politics

Now this week we’ll get to see TV rating figures vs. the political convention. Ha! So much for the NFL demanding the games be started early to avoid the speeches.

by sunny D on Aug 28, 2008 6:17 PM CDT 0 recs

Good point

What other big events do the Chiefs ever lose in ratings?

by primetime 07 on Aug 28, 2008 6:31 PM CDT up 0 recs

Weather?

What next, the dog ate my touchdown?

Blame my wife!

What is everyone drinking?

Beer? Liquor? Soft drink? Juice? Sports drink? Energy drink? Water?

The Arrowhead Pride household is sitting on a bit of Tito’s Vodka and some rum. Looks like I’ll be splitting vodka, soda and limes with Miss Arrowhead Pride the rest of the night.

I believe a bottle of wine has just been opened.

Blame my wife!
