Kansas City Chiefs

Matt Cassel and USC QB Mark Sanchez got into a fight last night- for charity.

KU linebacker Mike Rivera will attend the Chiefs Pro Day workout for local players on April 11th.

LB Mike Vrabel will wear #50. Sorry Rocky Boiman. (H/T JayKC)

Chris Simms > Matt Cassel? No way.

Pro Days

At the University of Arkansas Pro Day, Chris Mortenson's son Alex ran a few drills for the scouts.

You just know that every NFL team attended the Auburn Pro Day because of the BBQ afterward.

Six teams attended Colorado State's Pro Day.

Awesome! Coming out of the Oklahoma Sooner's Pro Day, we have a draft buzz phrase I've never heard: "amazing backpedal." That's funny because every girl I've seen Primetime approach also has amazing backpedal . Zing!

AFC West

Even though the meeting between Bronco team officials and Jay Cutler apparently went smoothly, Cutler still thinks that it is likely that he is going to be traded before draft day. Mile High Report has more.

JayKC posted a FanShot on this last night- LaDainian Tomlinson is staying in San Diego.

The Raiders are not relevant. There is nothing to link to.

General NFL news

Behind the Steel Curtain has the most thorough post I've ever seen on what team had the NFL's greatest defense of all time. The 1977 Falcons? May be.

You know Alex Smith knows his role when he agrees to a restructuring of his contract that "greatly reduces his base salary" instead of leaving for another team.

Is PT slow?

He should be able to catch a GIRL running backwards!:)

Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

Hmmm

Consensus among Bronco’s fans…. Cassel’s a hack.

Consensus among Patriot’s fans… Cassel will do fine.

Not that a 41-7 loss might have something to do with that, no.

The Cutler story
was full of juicy reports from a first source which were countered by a second source and nullified by a third source close to the story only to be refuted by the first source, never confirmed by the second source but were contradicted by the third source who spoke on conditions of anonymity as long as the second source was not really the first source……………………………………..
Please, if you’re not man enough to put your name one something shut the f@#*k up.

It benefits Cutler's agent to stir the pot

They’re clearly jockeying to renegotiate Wilford Brimley’s contract, so the more they act like a scorned girlfriend the more bargaining power they have.

Just remember McDaniels, who was 31st in the league for fewest interceptions last season?

and all of that was according to the source

"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"

Cassel looked

like he might have had a few in one pic, his eye was about half shut.

All this about Cutler to get a long term contract?

Over at MHR, one commenter was all about firing McDaniels already, talk about knee jerk reactions, Cutler is a bit over-rated thus far.

Similiar to some reactions to Pioli's silence so far.

I dearly hope the Broncos trade Cutler to the Lions

and try to make Chris Simms their QBOTF…please become the Raiders…please.

Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.

The bottomline

Denver’s Head Coach thinks KC’s QB is better than his.

.....and he's in the best position, of anybody, to know.

Hahahaha love the zing on PT

I laughed at that for a few minutes.

By the way
cool pick of Arrowhead that started this post.

Found it on my daily search of Flickr for Chiefs pictures.

Those 6 teams at the Colorado State Pro Day.....

Were there to see one beast of a runningback in Gartrell Johnson. The guy has thighs the size of tree trunks.

You sound like you're in love...

but I don’t blame you. Anyone that likes football would go ga-ga over a RB with legs that size. Make it broad shoulders and barrel-chested and he sounds like a Super Bowl M.V.P-winning dream come true.

There's no hope with dope...

My Grandparents live in Stillwater, OK

so I saw a lot of Barry Sanders when he was in college – supposedly the circumference of each of his thighs was like 38 inches…

The Cutler situation

It was reported yesterday that the phone meeting didn’t go well and Cutler is pissed becasue McDaniel won’t admit to wanting to trade him. Cutler wants to be traded and that would mean that the meeting didn’t go “well”.

AFC West Champs in 2009? Mayyybee.
