Good Morning. Busy few days for me. I'll be posting and running.

A pair of games into the 2009 season, it already appears that some media and fans have absolutely no patience.

How else to describe the tavern talk and talk show babble that Todd Haley should replace Matt Cassel (right) after one start as the Chiefs quarterback. The call has gone out for Brodie Croyle to be the man. Yes that’s the same Brodie Croyle that so many lost faith in over the last few years because he couldn’t stay healthy.

Haley said that, like all other positions, the quarterback job will remain available to the most proficient player — regardless of salary, name or background.

“You’ve got to ultimately do what gives your team the best chance to win,” Haley said Tuesday. “If that means another quarterback being in there other than Matt Cassel, then sign me up.”

Whitlock Alert

Haley’s Tuesday news conference was absolutely fascinating. It was Bill Parcells-esque, not Bill Belichick-esque.

You understand the difference? In dealing with the media, Parcells is real, honest, straightforward. Belichick is intentionally bland, mysterious and worthless. Haley was groomed by Parcells. Egoli was groomed by Belichick.

Parcells has been successful everywhere he’s coached. Belichick built a dynasty in New England after flopping in Cleveland.

The Kansas City Chiefs have lost some of the goodwill they had coming into the season after starting 0-2 exclusive data to KCTV5 from Spiral16 shows.

 

Spiral16 shows that after week one, the sentiment about the Chiefs was still overwhelmingly positive online, with more than 73 percent of the sites mentioning the Chiefs having a positive bent.

Going on a rant after the Chiefs lose to the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium is starting to become an annual event.

Regardless of whether you root for the Chiefs or the Raiders or the Jaguars or whoever, though, it would be hard not to complain about that game if you saw it. Oakland and Kansas City seem to be capable of putting forth the grossest displays of football ineptitude seen in the NFL today, so what do you think happens when you put them on the same field at the same time?

So for this week's Hangover I am going to set the normal format aside, and instead give out awards for Sunday's action to NFL teams, coaches, executives and players in many of the Emmy categories.

Outstanding Cinematography: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders

 

 

There were several parts of this 13-10 game in which the camera cut away from the action on the field. Thanks for that, cameraman.

DJ Gallo's NFL Hangover, Week 2 from ESPN.com

Stupid play of the week: The Kansas City Chiefs were going to take the prize this week for how badly quarterback Matt Cassel(notes) managed the clock at the end of the first half, costing his team a shot at a field goal in what turned out to be a three-point loss to the Oakland Raiders. Then, with 3:14 remaining in the week’s final game, the Dolphins passed the Chiefs like a Ferrari vs. a Smartcar.

nate_augustine: Ok, so I am over the faiders game. Ready for the Eagles. Let's kick some michael vick ass. Let's go chiefs

heydanny: @AlanPosey I think both KC & STL could still beat the Lions. I think. Maybe. Chiefs are probably a year away from really making a push.

mikedesalvo: Just discovered I get #NFL Network. Good News: Getting to watch replays of each game. Bad news: Watching #Chiefs lose more than once a week.
