Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News on Christmas Eve

The Chiefs' last home game of the 2009 season was also Fan Appreciation Day. The Chiefs Superfan Competition awarded prizes to several categories of costumed fans. In addition, the American Paint Horse Association presented a special award to Chiefs mascot Warpaint and her trainer. (via KansasCity.com)

Merry Christmas Eve Chiefs fans! It's a cold morning here in Austin and I bet it's cold where you are too.

We've got some links for you this morning here and after the jump, as well as some other posts coming up soon.

Enjoy!

But as he got into his car, Haley noticed a group of fans standing outside the fence that rings the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot where the team leaves their cars for home games. "I was blown away," Haley said of the group that stood in the darkness. "We just got beat in a very disappointing manner and there’s 30 people, women, men, children, standing by that fence in the construction (area) and it’s two hours after the game. I was blown away."

Scout.com: Haley Is Bulletproof
Perhaps you really believe Chiefs head coach Todd Haley flipped his middle finger at a fan Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium after losing to the Cleveland Browns. Perhaps you believe the fan was making it all up. Perhaps you don’t care.

Larry Johnson: No grudge against Chiefs | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com
"It will be kind of like me practicing against my friends," said the running back, who signed with the Bengals last month after being released by the Chiefs. "A lot of those guys I haven't seen in six or seven weeks. It will be great to get out there and play for real."

Playoffs LJ's Chief concern
Larry Johnson, eminent football historian, is going big picture on this one. The man who once outfitted his car’s seat covers with throwback jerseys is ignoring the juicier footnotes of Sunday’s matchup with the Chiefs.

Kansas City Chiefs - Insider Blog: Birthday Boy
Since Halloween Charles has outrushed his former superior by a margin of 604 yards. That number is a bit skewed as Charles has also carried the football 88 more times than Johnson. But the output specifically with the Chiefs isn’t skewed. Charles has revamped the team’s rushing offense with 141 carries for 759 yards in basically half a season. The other half belonged to Johnson, which produced 132 carries for 377 yards with the Chiefs. This weekend the two will reunite in Cincinnati, albeit in much different roles.

BTW CHRIS

I subscribe to Warpaint Illustrated and I know you were asking about nicknames for Charles…the front cover this month is all about “Sir Charles” something to think about.

Prince Charles?

* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
* Stats are for losers

Chip?

I’ve heard Chip is a nickname for Charles and since JC is playing with a Chip on his shoulder, it seems fitting…

Things to get the Chiefs back on the winning side of football:

1. Haley resign as offensive coordinator or do the following;
a. Feed JC more
b. Take the cuffs off of Cassel and let him air it out
2. Fire Clancy "Calls" Playslikeass

More proof that LJ was not cut for football reasons

And that Todd really didn’t want to see him go.

"I think a lot of Larry as a player … I enjoyed getting to know him," Haley said. "I believe Larry was all in here, and really trying to be part of us turning it around and becoming a winning team.

Predictions for 2009:

The Chiefs will regret cutting LJ

Bowe's numbers regress due to lack of decent QB play.

The D gets better in the second half but still is plagued by big plays

Cassel looks more like the guy Pioli almost cut in the '08 preseason instead of the franchise QB he hoped he would be when he traded him for

Chiefs 3-13

That depends

On when Haley said that, I remember it but I think it was before the “Twitter War”. His 2.7 was more than enough reason to bench him in my opinion, but I think Haley was hoping that LJ would step up his play if he got enough ego strokes.

is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?

This Chiefs team is closer to a new expansion team than it is a playoff contender, your expectations should match that.
