Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

My name is Heather, and I'm an APaholic.....

So I just realized that as we are so super close to the preseason start, and in the heart of camps this week, I have not gotten any work done.  I've been at work, at my desk, attempting ever-so-scrupulously to seem busy.  I am busy, quite busy in fact...surfing the AP blogs and my Facebook looking for my fellow KC fans to post something. 

I dont' quite remember another season in which I have been so consumed and addicted to everything Chiefs.

I am quite in love with each of you!  Thank you for keeping me up to speed, informed and incredibly entertained........

At work today

I read AP and I watched the Chiefs @ Rams game from the Huard season. LJ went off on those guys. Ran over 160 I think.

Man I hope to see that again soon.

So you pretty much summed up my work day today also...

I have been a Chiefs fan since I can remember, but I also have never been involved this much in the entire season especially the offseason. I think it is awesome how AP shows up first on Google for some of the Chiefs news…only 8 days till pre-season game 1 which I will be at and if not I will be at the Seattle game.

And I don’t care if they count, I get to go to Arrowhead so that is all that matters.

Go Chiefs!

actually all of you that get to go to Arrowhead this season, I may go next season. This year going to 2 games thus far Baltimore and if I make it out alive, Jacksonville.

I'd be fine with 9-7 or 10-6 and competiting for the divsion title

Everybody Together Now...

Welcome Heather. Hi Heather, I’m kcchiefsfan72, and I too am an AP-a-holic. I’ve been addicted for several months now and for the life of me, just can’t seem to get my fix no matter how much I’m on here. I, like brother Patrick, pound the F5 key throughout the day hoping for the latest tidbit of Chiefs information to temporarily satisfy my fix. My addiction has consumed me and frankly, I don’t want any help.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
1. Chiefs will be at least 8-8 and vie for division champs
2. DJ will break out and finally have his year
3. LJ returns to form
4. DBowe drops will reduce

This place sucks you right in

I first came to AP thru CNN Sports Page. Headlines always linked back to this page and the comments section always made me laugh. After enough wallflowering I joined in and next thing I knew I was AP’s honorary #1 homer.

Hi Heather

I’m Zodeman, and I’ve been on AP for several months now. I’m afraid this may be a consuming disease that will not even begin to abate until sometime in mid winter. My only hope is that when they actually take the field and start playing games that I will be sated somewhat for a few hours a week. That is the only time I may be able to focus on something other than AP. Other than that, my AP addition will be the focus of consciousness. And I don’t care.

Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

Hi Heather

I’m Patrick AKA Paddy. I sometimes put off work to write articles and fanposts for AP. Ap is always on my computer screen, whether at work or at home. I know the first step to solving your problem is to admit you have one. I just can’t see what the problem is.

Hi Heather, Im BigRedChief.....

….I have been adiicted to AP for several months now and am a life long Chiefs fan. I consider myself a logical man and AP manages to keep me in check however I have been known to go on Chief-binges and well I guess I inject some of the Kool-aid directly into my veins but you know what? Everything is going to be okay. Because I’m good enough, smart enough and doggonit people like me.

I am very glad to hear you are already in love with each of us. So since you are in love……………heres my bio………..33 yrs old, 15 yr Army veteran. I love sports, classic rock music, am in a local band and I dig the Chiefs. I am a season ticket holder and couldn’t help but notice your in town this fall for a game………….lets link up and have a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, enough with the E-Harmony routine…..welcome to AP and represent us out in Cali!!!!!

Dammit!

I wish I could get my wife to be more excited about the season. She enjoys football, but she isn’t a true fan. She likes freaking “Dancing with the Stars” and other crap like that. You rock Heather! Have fun at Arrowhead. I’ve only been able to go once, to the Colts playoff game after the ‘03 season. Awesome game (even though it turned out the way it did) and one of the best experiences ever! I only got to go because I was stationed in Oklahoma, and I’m all the way over in Nevada now. As soon as it is affordable, I’m going back.

by Reno_Chief on Aug 7, 2009 5:44 PM CDT reply actions  

I hear ya buddy....

….my wife likes football because I like football. She doesn’t NEED football like I NEED football. But bless her heart she likes to try and that is a great thing. I want a jersey cause I want to rock support for my favorite player, she wants a jersey cause she can “tie it up into a cut bun thinggy” and show of her stomach, totally hot though. She watches games with me (even when I watch some crappy community college team cause well its football) and she loves to drink beer so I got that going. I just have to understand that she will never have the passion we do but that cool not alot of people do.

Well since this seems to be

a meet and greet session of all us Addicted AP’ers.

So HI to Heather and everyone else who has commented on this page. I am Petey..I’ve been apart of AP since June. I used to search and search for things and always ended up getting information from here. I thought this was just another blog full of opinions and rumors, but the more I looked at the site, I realized that it is factual and most of everything you find reverts back to its original source. There was alot of good comments and got me hooked.

AP is run very well, and thats only right considering we have one of the most (if not the most..) loyal and supportive fan bases in the entire NFL. Joel does an excellent job of posting updates..I get on every morning and see something new posted at 7am by him. Much Appreciated.

We’ve seen good times and bad times and always came back for more. raises glass Heres to the new regime, and the future..of the Kansas City Chiefs!

BTW…I dont want to cure my addiction either..:-)

by Petey14 on Aug 7, 2009 5:51 PM CDT reply actions  

In California too

Do you go the Chargers Chiefs game in SD? Everytime I go to the Chargers.Chiefs game, I see enough red & gold in the stands and was wondering WHERE DID ALL THESE CHIEFS FANS come from? Just wondering if you were part of some of the Chiefs groups out here in CA.

Predictions as of 06.24.2009.

Larry Johnson will be a top 3 fantasy pick once again in 2010 (after a monster season in 2009.)
Dwayne Bowe will be a 2009 Pro Bowl selection.
Brandon Flowers will have at least 6 INTs in 2009 season.
Todd Haley will have a sideline shouting match caught on TV yelling at one of his asst. coaches.

I went to the chiefs vs. chargers game in 07 when we beat them

That game was freaking awesome…So many fans were calling for Norm to be fired! That was the highlight of our season and just a few weeks before our losing streak began!

Priest

I remember the game in 2005 where gates went off on us and the same game that gave LJ his true beginning after Merriman knocked out Priest cold! Sadly, we lost 20-28. Priest was never the same after that game.

I’m TXCHIEFAN. I love the CHIEFS, and love all the news, entertainment, comment, and excellent information that AP provides. Thanks to all for your committment. I’ve been here for a couple of years, but haven’t commented much over the past few months. I read everything AP has for us, but have stayed out of the debates. Thanks for bringing me back in.

Here we go boys and girls. This season is going to be one of the great ones and one to talk about for decades to come. GO CHIEFS!

Hi Heather. I am not addicted. Really. I’m not.

No really. Not me. I can leave it at any time. I just don’t want to. I mean, I can. Really. But, you know, …I can quit at anytime.
I mean I love the Chiefs, but come on…I’m not “addicted”.

What do you mean by addicted?

by TheQ on Aug 7, 2009 8:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

As Q's agent, I would like to reaffirm that he is not addicted.

He, nor any of us, can be addicted to something that is a necessity for life to exist.

As far as my client’s statements about him being able to “leave it at any time,” He was misquoted by himself, and obviously meant to say, “I cannot leave it at anytime, nor should such a thing ever be contemplated, as the mere thought of living without AP weakens the will to live.”

Chiefs fan existing in Seattle

Hello, my self imposed boycott of the Herm era has been lifted and I feel great about the new regime. AP is indeed addictive and is there really anything wrong with that? No. Right?

I cannot wait to see the new regime team in action. I so far love everything I see, read, hear about the Chiefs, Haley, and Pioli. I was still maintaining quite a bit of scepticism about this year – too many holes to fill in too short a time. But, the apparent attitudinal adjustment in LJ is really making my confidence grow. Hopefully reading AP doesn’t breed overconfidence since there is a lot of enthusiasm on this great site!

I may be relocating to SD if things work out and get myself back inside the borders of the AFC West!

Hopes fade once again from blue to red. Go New Chiefs!!

I don't know...

I don’t remember why I became a Chiefs fan (I previously posted something about the reason more likely being something girly like, I liked their helmets….) I just remember falling in love with them in high school. And the fact that my dad was a Raiders fan & I hated them….I remember watching the Chiefs play once & actually give a hand to the other team helping them up after a tackle….that really stuck in my mind I think.
