Good evening everyone.
I'm sick and pretty much down for the count tonight while Mrs. Arrowhead Pride (emphasis on the "r" nowadays) is out with a friend to see...Diane Keaton. Yeah. Diane. Keaton. I mean, is she really that intriguing that people will pay to hear her just talk? I really don't get it. The ladies of AP (all four of you) please explain to me the appeal of one Diane Keaton. Is she 40 years old? Or 75?
Okay. Total, weird tangent there. I don't know where that came from. Anyway, this is an open thread for tonight. I noticed the last couple of FanShots were filling up fast with comments so I wanted to get a new thread up to satiate the needs of the AP readership.
Chat away about whatever's on your mind.

I guess I just remember a recent Haley press conference where he said they had to make a decision on whether or not he was going to be taken off of PUP.
Am I mistaken?
Prediction: Tamba gets 10 sacks this year.
No, you are not mistaken
He did initially say Friday. Then corrected himself the next day and said Saturday.
Maybe not just yet... But very soon.
RB Kolby Smith, who has been on the reserve/PUP list since the beginning of training camp, will find out about the future of his 2009 season within the next 24 hours.

Barto's
I’m from Parsons originally. Went to Pitt, ex wife is a frontenac native and we used to go there. Jim’s used to make a damn good steak, too..
I worked at Barto's for 4 years... Pretty much all through high school
and I never liked Jims, I thought for what they charged their steaks were very bland.

they were
high. where else could you get a decent steak though? Pittsburg has definitely changed. Used to be so much fun back in the day, then they started crackin down..
the best place to get a steak...
is to buy one at Rons and grill it.
Yeah I can pretty much remember the weekend that it happened too. Girl was raped and killed, and someone was hit by a car leaving the Bermuda Triangle, and the place practically changed overnight. Pitt State was listed #3 in Playboys party schools once.

must be after mine..
because im not familiar. biggest thing happening there was always st pattys all day/night affair and i cant even remember the name of the place now. mccarthys?
Yeah McCarthys
Shark Night is the Friday before school starts its a huge party thrown at all the Fraternities. Last year it was so big that people were pouring out of the Frat houses onto Broadway. So basically the PPD said that if there were any parties they would get ridiculous fines, which Im not sure they can actually do, but whatever.
And Yeah, McCarthys. Im a townie and Ive never been there on St Patty’s day. Not my thing really.

Not sayin' different is necessarily better, but...
… there’s a chance the shakeup in the secondary could be very beneficial. Maybe I don’t like what I’ve seen from Leggett in press, but it might be the kind of changeup that creates problems for Garrard.
The secondary we’ll see on the field Sunday has MUCH more speed than the one we’ve been seeing, especially if Leggett and Morgan are both on the field at the same time. I’ve been a Brown defender, BUT Jax won’t have much film of the currently constituted d-backfield.
I liked McGraw’s HEAD on the field, but he couldn’t match up. Couldn’t close. Same with Brown. Likely to see more mental errors from the younger guys, BUUUuuuuut might catch some breaks and get some picks all unexpected-like, too.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Way more classy than this though

So Im bored outta my mind...
and for those who dont frequent Football Outsiders… The Chiefs have slowly been climbing up the defensive rating. It wasn’t that long ago that they were the 28th overall defense, now they are 24 with the 20th ranked run D. Granted this is nothing to be excited about, but hey its baby steps.

good stuff but it’s team not individual stats
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
and sadly, we are dead last in 3rd Down Conversions Per Game
but hey, we’re #30 in Yards Per Play (tied with Raiders) and 2/10 yd ahead of the Browns!
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
But were leading fourth down conversions
per game by an impressive margin.
All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
I wouldn't put much faith in per game stats...
I would be more concerned about 3rd down conversions per drives. Which is probably not good either.

Were still leading in a non suck category
no matter how insignificant it is.
All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
its a completely pointless stat.
we lead in fourth down conversions per game not because we are good at it, but because we have done it way more times than anyone else. Its a completely stupid thing to be happy. Counting stats are a dumb way to evaluate anything. Rate stats are much better… Now granted the Chiefs are still 7th in 4th down conversions which is still very respectable.

Well then
If you don’t think our fourth down conversion stat is impressive, I would like to point out that we are in a 31 way tie for second in punts per play.
All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
Thats not what I said
Our fourth down conversions per game is a useless stat. But being 7th in fourth down conversion percentage is a good thing.
