The Kansas City Chiefs terminated the contract of LS Jean-Philippe Darche on Thursday. Darche played in 23 games with the Chiefs from 2007-08.
Kansas City Chiefs - Chiefs Terminate LS Jean-Philippe Darche
That's it. Pioli and Haley have no idea what they're doing.

agreed
the Vikings obviously didn’t enjoy having him this season. I say we sacrifice our 7th to get him haha
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
If you go out and you’re looking for the girl to wink at you and she hasn’t winked at you before 12 she isn’t going to. You might as well go home.

Yeah it is bizarre
It’s not bizarre that he was cut just that it was a single cut and it was done now.

I'm confused
I’m new to this site, and I’m trying to figure out if you are all seriously upset, or if I’m having a hard time detecting the sarcasm in your respective posts. Do you guys seriously think that Darche is that great? And furthermore, that his release is an indication that Pioli and Haley don’t know what they’re doing? I’m confused…
I think some are being sarcastic
I think its kind of strange to be cutting the long snapper. I don’t recall he botched any snaps last year and he made several special teams tackles.
I just think its kind of strange he would come up as someone to be cut when there were so many obvious underachievers on the roster last year that are still on there.
Slightly sarcastic, and at the same time not
Dustin Colquitt is the 2nd best player on the Chiefs and Darche was his snapper, so he jokingly is one of the most important people on our team. He’s easily replaceable though… just a long snapper.
It is strange that we would cut him of all people though… he’s a good long snapper.
Definitely sarcastic
I would have no way of knowing how to differentiate one long snapper from another.

but he could be the next Jared Allen

I agree, when they're bent over, all them ass's look the same :)
"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
And this guy knows asses!:)
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
I imagine you would!:)
Ya lucky dog!
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
Or or or listen to this!
We take the NE attitude to 4th downs and go for it every time and never punt again.
Which reminds me, wasn’t there a guy who did some mathematical proof that it was statistically never really a good idea to punt on 4th and short?
Blame my wife!
Waiting until August!
Past the 40 yrd line
Once you get to the 40 yard line you are better off going for it over punting. I can’t remember if it is Footballoutsiders.com or TMQ that pushes this, I believe it is TMQ.
All you need to know about going for it.

All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
he was a legitimate LS
and thats very important in the NFL
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
Agreed.
Not an obvious cut. But certainly not the end of the world if he needs to be replaced. And this is absolutely not a clear indication that Pioli is off his rocker — especially since he knows the status of Darche’s health better than any of us.
Your user name intrigues me
Please explain.

Seriously?
Woodyard BBQ is the BEST BBQ in KC. Hands down.
http://www.woodyardbbq.com/
Where is
3001 Merriam Lane exactly? Give me some landmarks.

Go to the site,click "directions"
top left corner. takes you to google maps. Teh interwebs does stuff like dat. ;-)
(It’s on Merriam/Southwest Blvd, south of Rosedale, Near Lamar)
Cassel vs. Thigpen in Camp should improve the play of both.
Next on the need list: linebacker, and both lines

Damn, I'm hungry now
All they have is poser BBQ in Texas.
by Chris Thorman on Mar 19, 2009 4:29 PM CDT up reply actions
It's where Merriam/SW Blvd and Lamar meet.
Woodyard BBQ used to be, well, a woodyard, where all of the various BBQ pits bought their wood. To generate interest in their product, they used to give out free smoked meat. It became so popular, that they decided to start selling the stuff. When you go there for the first time, tell them that you are a first-timer and you will get free desert: smoked chicken wings!
who me?
I don’t work for Woodyard. I just love their BBQ. They don’t drown their meat in sauce like Oklahoma Joe’s, my second favorite.
If by top you mean
infinitely better. Then yes.
But beware.
I think they are only open a few evening a week. Damn, I should get a cut of any new business they get.
is it close to arrowhead i could plan a stop
when i go on vacation this year to go see raiders and kc at arrowhead

Nah, it's clear 'cross town.
OTOH, except for rush hour & game day, it generally only takes a half hour or so to drive from one place to another in KC. ;-)

Okay
I’m going to try that place this week and will come back with a report card. Thanks for the tip! (And thanks for reading!)

What did you just say?
Please don’t tell me I heard “free” and “chicken wings” in the same sentence. I’ll bankrunpt that place!
by Joel Thorman on Mar 19, 2009 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions
damn i payed the price this morning for chicken wings last night well worth it though

TEXAS?!!!
Dude, I live in Rhode Island where their idea of BBQ is a lobster and a half dozen clams. I did have the best slab of ribs in my life in some funky little place called the Matterhorn in Bethel, Maine last weekend.
damn i need some ribs
its amazing how wood can give you a type of flavor.

What the hell am I going to do now with this Darche jersey
by KansasCityShuffle on Mar 19, 2009 4:21 PM CDT reply actions
I think I'm getting the hang of this
The jersey comment; now that was sarcasm…
Turn the 1 in "51" into a 0, and you have a new Vrabel Jersey.
If you go out and you’re looking for the girl to wink at you and she hasn’t winked at you before 12 she isn’t going to. You might as well go home.

Sarcasm runs amock
Most fans have the patience to at least wait until training camp has ended before they are ready for suicide. What is all this condemnation of the Chiefs are you guys really fader or donkey fans that have moved in on this forum? If you managed to get through Herm Edwards era without killing yourself you at least can wait until training camp before you go nuts.
Ahhh
Now I see that you were likely using sarcasm as well :)

BOOOOO
This stinks! Darche has by far the best name of any Chief in recent memory!
Stan Marsh? More like Stan DARCHE! Is it just me?
Thanks, Pioli, for ruining the fun. Oh well, I’m sure he knows something I don’t. Still with you, Scott!
Vrabel's terms
coming into KC were that he wanted to have the coolest last name. Pioli got rid of Surtain, Huard, and Darche…. Croyle is next
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
Vrabel is a better name...
Than Croyle. How many words do you that have “Vr” in it. There is a lot of words with “Cro” in it.
by ChiefsFan90s on Mar 19, 2009 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions
there is a vr in "Victory" :)
"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF!
That episode was on the other night too.
Well, I'm surprised
You guys say it’s a pretty unimportant move, but the game after Darche went down with an injury is the game that we ended up losing by 1 point after a botched extra point snap…
Can Vrabel longsnap?

Get Gammon out of the booth and back on the field...
And I don’t wanna hear that he’s not in football shape……He’s out there only a handful of plays!
LOL!
Kendall Gammon! Our old Pro-Bowl L-Snapper!
hahah i was going to say peter gammons ??
the only thing that guy is snapping is his hip. And the lids off of ben gay bottles

Only a Chiefs blog could have 60+ posts about a long snapper

Thomas Gafford, a rookie, replaced Darche last season. Gafford is the only long-snapper left on the roster.

"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
And he did ok, but...
Kyle is a good player and is the type of player I could see Pioli wanting…he may be a little more pricey then most teams are liking
Morality Clause?
Merritt gone…ganja
Macklin gone…DUI

Whoa Whoa Whoa
Let’s not lump all Canadians on the French boat. I’m sure calgary chief and saskwatch would agree that no one has more reason to dislike French Canadians as English Canadians.
lol
did everyone forget about the guy that had been snapping for him when he got injure gafford? or something like that he did well lol maybe pioli said hey i’ll take a 24 year old who did real well over a 90 year old ? hmmm
I wouldn't say he did real well
He botched a couple snaps, including one on an extra point that cost us a game.
