A Chiefs Fan Obituary

 

On October 4th, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. in Kansas City, Missouri, O'bar Reaksion, 4 games into the season, died while grasping a beer in one hand and violently beating it against a bobble head doll of Matt Cassel.  He was last heard saying, "Damn Matt Cassel...Damn Matt Cassel to Hell...He is getting worse not better."

O'bar Reaksion was a cynical, fatalistic, hot headed, negative excuse for a human being.  But he openly boasted that compared to his best friend and colleague, Sir Ender...O'bar Reaksion truly had a positive outlook.  He frequently would point out his comment he had made before the season to a friend, Sir Ender, that the Chiefs would have a brutal first half of the season and would struggle.  However, upon his death a letter he had written was discovered outlining the precise calculations on how the Chiefs "should" have won each game.

O'bar Reaksion, a tactical mastermind and keen eyed talent evaluator, was best known as the first person since the Middle Ages to calculate the arcane formula of the dive play.  Unable to actually prove this complex theory logically, and frustrated by the cruel conspiracy of the so-called "Organizational hierarchy" working against him, he ultimately found himself scouring the streets for the mythical 53 players that were missed by the organization.  

O'bar Reaksion is survived by his oriental brother, Sho Me;  migrant oriental sister who rides her bandwagon around from team to team, Teem Ho; and best friend, Sir Ender.

 

 

BTW, "Over Reaction" might be right...Cassel did have a bad game regardless of how much time he had and might be taking steps backward because of the Offensive Line.

Bravo and Rec'd

But Oriental is not the prefered nomenclature. Asian American, please.

Or even just Asian...

Oriental refers to objects like an oriental rug. :)

by HeatherChiefsLvr on Oct 6, 2009 11:02 AM CDT up reply actions  

there's no difference between calling someone Oriental or Asian or Asian-American

it can be an Asian rug too! As long as you don’t use derogatory slang terms, it’s fine.

My Wife Would Beg To Differ...

she’s half-Japanese and if you say she’s Oriental, she’ll fly off the handle claiming that the terminology refers to a rug.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
1. Chiefs will be at least 8-8 and vie for division champs
2. DJ will break out and finally have his year
3. LJ returns to form
4. DBowe drops will reduce

yes!!! see

my dad’s side of the family (my step dad) is Japanese too. They’ve said the same thing. Oriental refers to objects not people or a culture.

by HeatherChiefsLvr on Oct 6, 2009 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

so they prefered being called Asian then?

I’m sorry but that makes absolutely no sense. The words Asian and Oriental are used in the same context and the fact that they would prefer one over the other doesn’t make sense. I’m not at all about using derogatory terms to describe someone’s ethnicity but this whole racial sensitivity issue in our culture is being blown way out of proportion and is only fueled by those who’d rather see certain words banned because of their own hangups rather than try and decipher the intent of the term being used. If someone told me that they didn’t want to be called Oriental, then I’d respect it and use another term but I’d also feel compelled to point out that their logic is seriously flawed.

I don't know that he has taken a step back at this point for sure but...

If this offense doesn’t get it together, it will ruin him and he will become useless. His confidence is already rattled and you can see the happy feet. Once that happens, it can take a very long time to get back to normal if it ever happens at all.

It seems possible...

How many QBs have bad teams ruined? There are a lot of examples.

David Carr is a shining example to me.

He would have been a pretty good QB with some decent protection.

Maybe a shock collar?

could put the boundaries markers on the O-lineman:)

Yes he has taken a step back

From what people THOUGHT he was not because of the O-Line Rodgers sure still looked very good getting drilled every play. Cassel is just not that good.
 He lacks arm strength witch has not been hidden and now he has shown that the question about his accuracy was a good one.
Those two things combined make it hard for a QB to be good in the NFL and I havn’t even mentioned the fact that it appears he is having trouble seeing the field and making proper reads. I hope we don’t waste the entire season waiting for his play to improve. He is what he is and it sucks that we gave him that much money to prove it.

by kcchiefstd on Oct 6, 2009 11:23 AM CDT reply actions  

Get over it. He’s a million times better than Brodie. You have a problem with every person on the team and in the organization. Cassel has had three games, one without his top receiver. Give him some damn time.

by JComp11 on Oct 6, 2009 11:26 AM CDT up reply actions  

I just made a point the Chiefs were only 6 players away from being very competitive at the end of last season

QB was a need but an elite QB is the only way to upgrade what we have and true Garcia would have been better than Croyle, Troy Smith, Travaris Jackson, and a handfull of others are better than Brodie Croyle but thier names are not Cassel.

by kcchiefstd on Oct 6, 2009 11:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

Just so you know JComp11

I went back and watched ALOT of tape from last season on Cassel trying to CHANGE my own opinion and all I did was solidify it sorry but if Cassel somehow by magic becomes an excellent QB I will paint Dumbass on my forhead for ONE WHOLE YEAR you can hold me to it.

by kcchiefstd on Oct 6, 2009 11:33 AM CDT up reply actions  

I WILL be holding you to that.

by JComp11 on Oct 6, 2009 1:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

and I'm curious to know where to you got all of this game film

if you watched the highlights that are available on the net, then yeah, I watched them too and I don’t see any issues with any of those plays because they were highlights!?! Did you call Hoodie and have him let you borrow all of the film from Cassel from last year so you could break it down play by play? I’m just curious to know exactly how you went about this.

by jonnyu on Oct 6, 2009 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

Last week

he was playing semi-pro football (yeah, I know means diddly-squat) so he probably has sources who have access to the Spygate films that weren’t destroyed! (Didn’t know about them didya!) :)

by ttownmikey on Oct 6, 2009 3:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah, no sh*t

this whole buisness of throwing Cassel under the bus and saying he sucks makes me think there are a lot of really dumb Chiefs fans out there, which is sad.
