Lots happened yesterday as the Kansas City Chiefs conducted the sixth practice of their 2009 training camp in River Falls yesterday afternoon.

The big news of course is that the team signed former Giants WR Amani Toomer to a one-year deal. Toomer, who didn't work out for any other NFL teams before signing,To make room for Toomer on the Chiefs' roster, the team cut TE Tony Curtis.

The other big news is that DT Glenn Dorsey finally took the practice field in pads, after being out of commission (for being out of shape basically) since camp started. He didn't full participate in drills but he was out there.

We've got all of those important links from yesterday, organized right after the jump if you need to catch up.

But first....

I wanted to say hello to all of the new readers and commenters we've had since training camp started. If you haven't already, click the "Start Posting" red button on the left side of the home page to create a user name so you can comment and post FanPosts and FanShots.

Arrowhead Pride doesn't "officially" have anyone representing us at training camp this year but I think the traffic to the site in the last five days shows that we've got a pretty good grasp of where to find all of the camp info and put it in one place. Our traffic in the last two days alone has been nearly 40,000 visitors and over 100,000 page views.

So, hello to everyone who is new. I've linked a few important pages that will help you as a newbie get what AP is all about and how we conduct ourselves around here. Check 'em out:

Please do read those pages. I think you'll find that the knowledge in them will greatly enhance your AP experience. If I had to mention one rule out of all of them, it's don't use insults. None of any kind. Be smarter than that.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us by clicking my user name and finding our e-mail address. I'm sure the regulars around here would have no problem helping answer any questions you may have, so feel free to ask.

Check out our quick summary of what happened yesterday during training camp, after the jump.

Welcome to AP

To all the new people that have just found Arrowhead Pride, you have found more than just your normal fan site. You have discovered a place where I have found more information on the Chiefs than I ever have before. A place where different opinions won’t get you banned but are the norm. AP was created by the fans for the fans and as long as you can back up your opinions with either facts or good reasoning I think almost any Chiefs thought is welcome.
Some are new Chiefs fans (Joe Montana era or newer) and some are old fans either from the beginning or the Super Bowl IV win. All are welcome here Break out your red and revile in the glory of all things Chiefs, but be sure to order your Arrowhead Pride t-shirt (link to follow) and read as much as you like. When your ready be sure to post your heart out and once again welcome to the BEST Chiefs site ever.

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

Only 100,000 page views???

Well in know for a fact that a 1/4 of those are mine. The rest of you are just plain slacking. The dedication and hard work of Chris, Joel and the other guys are what makes this site totally kickass. Please take the # of visitors and page views as a small (or large) tribute and thanks to yourselves, you’ve both earned it.

Bah...

Are you insinuating some of us would be so crass as to actually leave the site during the day? I’m deeply dissapointed in anyone who would do such a thing.

Just kidding, I know it has to happen from time to time.
