Your OFFICIAL Arrowhead Pride PARADEBULATION: Win-n-eeng Stuh-ree-eek??? Edition*

*In no way meant to immediately jinx us, jinx's are for teams that need to worry about jinxes, like the Chargers for instance.

Merry Saturday after it's okay to get fat day because we'll all be wearing winter clothes and ruining out credit score day for the next two months day!  Jesus, this is a long holiday isn't it?  It's only Saturday still which has the PARADE living in the magical procrastination space between Saturday afternoon and Sunday night still.  Being a grad student in a lousy economy means most of our 'real work' consists of unpaid do-goodery done on odd hours, and as such, extended holidays just means for us "why aren't more of you people at work right now?"  Nonetheless, we present another comeback installment of the Saturday Afternoon PARADEBULATION.

Joel will no doubt accuse this of being a "fair-weather" PARADEBBFESTIVITY; however, we assure you, there was a glorious post in the works following the Redskins game, but someone limited our editorial ability to upload pictures.  Coincidence, we had several pictures of said someone's hairy mug, press pass and all?  You be the judge.

Regardless, after Joel informed us of a number of angry emails regarding the absence of PARADBULATING (thanks to each and every one of you) we present a Charger's week 'Bulation:

"Sometimes we get a annoyed by the fact the Chiefs fanbase only wants to accept players that speak and look like they never got more than a high school education and view the Busch Light 'Camo Can' as the high watermark of civilization.  It makes you want to scream these are millionaires, MILLIONAIRES, no amount of hunting gear or folksiness makes them anything like you, they are not and will never be 'blue collar.'  Then you look at people like these two, and you realize, their are groups of people in this country that encourage them to look and act like they do as well.  They have FANS, there in fact are actual FANS of each of these individuals.  Can you imagine these people?  No amount of Ed Hardy and Herpes must be good enough for them.  Because of that, we say to you: don't go changing Kansas City, you're alright with us."

Good afternoon, this week's Chargers game smells like a recipe for misery.  Despite every columnist who chose to write on last weeks win over the Steelers insistence that it was a "real win," it was a pretty ugly game.  The Steelers were also definitely looking past us on the road with Baltimore coming up.  That said, we don't think Haley's gotten the "Herm-apologist" treatment of "yeah they only won two games but Baltimore and Dallas were really close."  So good for him.  Ugly upsets speak legions more than pretty near misses.

So the Chargers are perfectly capable of taking us too lightly as well.  Also, like it or not, Chambers is going to be the make or break player for the Chiefs.  Call it intuition, or maybe having the sense to know how long the season's been going on for, but we'd bet injuries also end up being a deciding factor Sunday.

All in all, if they avoid another blow-out on the road, the Chiefs should probably be considered as meeting minimum expectations.

FANTASTICAL FOOSBALL ADVICE:

Get Chris Chambers of wires and start him.  Why not?  We'd rather have him than limpy Steve Breaston continuing to fail to meet expectations of adequacy.  With Bowe in, we might say no, but there's too much pride at stake between two teams that aren't good enough for either to say "oh we can just use him as a decoy" or "our corners know him well enough we can shut him down."  It's bordering on too predictable, but we're talking the 2009 AFC West, a team should be so lucky.

YOUR GAMETIME SNACK OF THE WEEK:

We're not going to get too creative here because let's be honest... neither are you.  You've got a fridge full of leftovers.  But instead of turkey and [insert side dish here] sandwiches, let's suggest a different take: "Eggs Thanksgivingdict."

tee hee

We're going with this picture because it looks appetizing despite being totally innaccurate:

Now, instead of scramble, do the eggs over easy (poached for the health freaks) preferably on top of toasted left over dinner roles.  Then we usually do a stuffing and bacon hash.  Then before serving go with turkey gravy served hollandaise sauce style.  Turkey is more appetizing with a lighter brown color, but a dark gravy often tastes better if your one for taste over style.

YOUR GAMETIME BEER OF THE WEEK:

The best proof there is a God between now and when "It's a Wonderful Life" comes on Christmas Day.  We were reaching a point where we worried all the good beer in the world had been taken, retaken, overlooked and assumed to be taken, or else just a stupid fruity college microbrew (/simpsons) or wheat beer for which the PARADE cares not.  Yeah verily, we assumed from here on out might just be a series of Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, and Boulevard seasonal varietals (with the occasionally watery Asian obscure find we choose to lie to ourselves about).  But no, no, mon frer, this 21st Amendment IPA with a 70 IBU is definitely worth the snob beer price set on it.  It's made from angel tears and freedom hops, not to mention a 6 pack will incapacitate you while not making you look like a can collecting lush.  We HIGHLY recommend trying it, the one warning is that it's not the kind of IPA that makes you think, ah that's a little bitter but I kinda like that, it's just straight up tasty, so if that's not your thing, eh screw it it's 7.0, have two and quit complaining.
