PrintCourtesy of Pete Moris and the Kansas City Chiefs PR crew, we have this week's Kansas City Chiefs/Denver Broncos connections.
This week's connections have a solid mix of coaching connections as well as older player connections. For some reason, I didn't realize Ty Law was a Bronco.
Also, who knew Brandon Lloyd played at Blue Springs outside of Kansas City? Me neither. That Sproles kid usually takes up the Blue Springs accolades.
- Chiefs GM Scott Pioli and Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels each earned three Super Bowl rings with New England.
- Chiefs assistant GM Joel Collier is the son of Joe Collier, who served 20 seasons as an assistant coach with Denver (’69-88). The younger Collier played collegiately at Northern Colorado.
- KC defensive assistant Ronnie Bradford played three seasons (’93-95) and coached for six years (2003-08) for Denver. He played at Colorado.
- KC strength coach Cedric Smith (2001-06) and asst. strength coach Brent Salazar (2005) worked with Denver. Salazar is a Denver native.
- Denver C Casey Wiegmann (2001-07), DL Vonnie Holliday (2003- 04) and CB Ty Law (2006-07) played with Kansas City.
- Denver special team coordinators Mike Priefer coached three seasons with Kansas City (2006-08).
- Denver coaching assistant Jay Rodgers spent time at Dodge City CC (2003) and Missouri State (2004). He also played at Missouri State.
- Broncos WR Brandon Lloyd is a native of Blue Springs, MO.
- Chiefs PR Coord. Brad Gee was a Seasonal PR Asst. w/DEN in 2008.
And we have our fourth Dodge City Community College mention in the life of Arrowhead Pride. Yes!

How ironic would it be for Chambers to catch the winning touchdown
while being guarded by Ty Law?
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.
Sproles is NOT from Blue Springs....
…try Olathe.
…what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent speech were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber for having heard it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Your state champion Olathe North Eagles to be precise
This is my signature line. It is full of awesome and win.

I think you have Sproles confused with....
…Ladell Betts. He is the other former Blue Springs player in the NFL. And he was doing quite well as a back-up to Portis until the unfortunate ACL tear last week. Hopefully, it will not be career threatening. Always liked the guy…went to high school with him, he was a stand-up dude.
I carry a lighter around in my pocket wherever I go...I don't smoke, I just really like certain songs.
oh boy
I hope we leave charles and lawrence back there rotating….Priefer is the ST coach, its time for a record setting day….sorry Priefer, but I wanted you fired mid way thru year one
