New Blog: Anonymous Eagle covering Marquette!

I'm a huge fan of my colleague Peter King, of course. But when I saw that he picked the Kansas City Chiefs to go 8-8, I was wondering if maybe a virus had hijacked his computer. The Chiefs went 2-14 last year, traded away (by far) their best offensive weapon (Tony Gonzalez), paid a lot of money for a quarterback who before last year had not started since high school, had what pretty much everyone called an uninspiring draft and then signed an all-star team from 2002 (WR Bobby Engram, LB Mike Vrabel -- they have since released WR Amani Toomer and LB Zach Thomas). Their offensive line is in shambles. They fired their offensive coordinator during the last week of training camp.
That's not to say they can't go 8-8. This is the NFL, and crazy stuff happens. What I'm saying is that if the Chiefs get within three games of 8-8, I'm buying Peter a nice watch or an espresso maker or something because that would be one heck of a pick.

Looks like Peter is getting a fancy new watch. 5-11 is more the doable.

Joe~

Have you been drinking that stuff Whitlock has been drinking~ that Kool Aid that makes you all just STUPID in the head?

Whats the matter with a guess of 8-8, and you disagree, thats fine~ but to say if they get within 3 games of such, youd pay HOMAGE to mr king~

Dude, just send over your kool aid you and jason partake of, and maybe then he will get the clue that KC REPORTERS are high on the KOOL AID and nothing else in town!

What do LAWYERS and SPERM have in common?

Heck

I’m down on the Chief’s (for the 2009 season) and even I think they’ll win 5 games.

Given PK’s favorite topics are coffee and Brett Farve, I’d suggest either a gift card to Starbuck’s or a Brett Farve blowup doll.

Posnanski used to be a KC Star columnist.

Known for low-content feel-good stuff, mostly. Funny thing is, he’s probably resting on his “KC local” laurels, whereas Peter King actually visited the Chiefs’ (and many other teams’) training camps. The things King said before visiting River Falls were radically different from the things he said coming away. I think the Chiefs looked respectable even then.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
