Your Kansas City Chiefs news from across the internet! Enjoy...
Now that it appears the Three Musketeers from kingdom of Foxboro are going to be reunited in Middle America, there are some things that you need to know about the last man to join the crusade.
Romeo Crennel is named after Shakespeare’s Romeo. Really, he is. He even has a sister named Juliet.
It’s just one of the little things we’ve learned about the man who will soon be announced as the team’s new defensive coordinator.
Background On Romeo … Thursday Cup O’Chiefs from Bob Gretz
KC Star Phot Gallery: Romeo Crennel will be Chiefs' defensive coordinator
Yep, it's Whitlock...
Wake me when the Chiefs sign Tom Brady, the one with two healthy knees and fearless pocket demeanor.
Until then, I’ll take a wait-and-see approach with Scott Pioli’s New England Relocation Plan.
Right now, this smells like a Jackson Five reunion tour without Michael (Brady) or Janet (Bill Belichick).
Romeo "Tito" Crennel, the defensive coordinator, joins Pioli, Charlie Weis, Matt Cassel, Mike Vrabel and ex-Pats to be named later in what appears to be a lame attempt at recreating the New England Dynasty.
Let me apologize for being unimpressed with this lineup.
This Patriots reunion in KC is missing something from KC Star
"I think that Charlie overall is no different than Matt (Cassel)," Haley compared. "He looked adversity in the face here over the last few years and Charlie is real tough mentally. He’s not going to be affected too much by that. His confidence is still there exactly the way that I remember it. He is excited to be a part of the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I think he just wants to be a part of something special," Haley continued. "I think that with Charlie in the mix and what we’re going to get done here in the offseason…this team was getting better and was going to get better if we stayed status-quo, but we made some real positive additions. We’re going to add players to the mix and with the nucleus that we’ve found of players through this difficult year we’ll have a chance to show marked improvement."Haley On Weis: Notre Dame Didn't Shatter Confidence from RealGM Football
[Tony] Adams was a star quarterback at Riverside Ramona High and Riverside County Player of the Year in 1967. He played at RCC and then Utah State, and opted for the fledgling WFL over the NFL when the Chargers made him a 14th-round pick in 1973. Adams was a tri-MVP of the short-lived league in 1974, throwing for 3,905 yards and 23 touchdowns for the Anaheim-based Southern California Sun.
He eventually made it to the Kansas City Chiefs for four seasons, then had two years with the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts and one more NFL fling as a replacement player with the Minnesota Vikings in 1987.

Mike Augustinos, who manages the "Howl at the Moon" piano bar, 20 East Georgia Street, emailed fans in Baltimore to invite them to his bar. As an Upper Marlboro, Maryland native, Augustinos told them it "sucks living in Colts country." He said the tailgating in Indianapolis is "horrible."
To the tailgaters who gather in the Blue Crew lot, those are fighting words! "There's room to talk about having a Ravens promotion," said the group's Vice President and Media Director, Eric Griffin. "But you don't need to bash the locals."
The Blue Crew concept was inspired by a trip to Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, which is known for enthusiastic tailgating. Griffin recalls that hospitable Chiefs supporters told the Indianapolis fans that their team had played a good game.Foul Committed By Ravens Fan from WIBC

Jason Dreadlock with his usual side of sunshine. I do not read his garbage articles
and I do not grace him with my presence. If you acknowledge dirtbag’s like him, it just gives them life. He’s a racist rodent. Glad Flowers is doing better. We need him for sure. I’m still not sold on Cassel. I really think he has to completely embrace and take charge of his role this year or he will get replaced and be a really great back up.
Romeo and Weis are going to really make a difference. A noticeable difference. This year coming up. GO Chiefs!! Thanks NJ!
People said the same old stuff back when Marty and Carl brought in the West Coast offense in the '90's.
People called us the 49’ers East, and talked about our Midwest Coast system. “We couldn’t find a QB without some 49’er DNA in either the pro’s or in college” (Montana, Bono, Grbac, Barnes).
Media types just write things to get their name out there. Period. Whitlock has some relevant points, but his dismissive style washes them away.
/shrugs
At this point I read everything he says like he’s an entertainer or radio talk show host, nothing more.

That Chaz Bono thing is hysterical. I didn't realize that she/he got that fat.
It looks like a Charlie Weis Jr.!
Lame attempt, Whitlock?
Hmmmmm…I just thought it was about hiring really really ridiculously good coaches…
Don't forget to be an AP-vangelist...Tell A Friend...
I just don't care
I don’t care what Twitlock has to say about this or anything else, I know it is his job to stir up controversy and play the what if game for KC. However he does in in a very negative way that I refuse to read.
I don’t care if the call us “New England West”, The “Kansas City Patriots”, or any other name they can think of. The point of this is to win games, to win Championships, to be come an NFL power House. Did we bring in a lot of New England help? Yeppers just as we did with San Francisco back in the 90’s. Every team out there is looking for a way to improve and to win it all. We got lucky, when Clark got Pioli to come here as our GM that was a start of improvement. He in turn hired a young fiery rookie offensive Head coach, one that would be around long enough to see this thing out.
From there we picked up former Patriot players, and like it or not two starting players for a 2nd round pick was a deal. And now we have the offensive and defensive coordinators of those Super bowl teams. Both were let go of their previous jobs and were looking for work. Out of all the NFL teams they choose KC and what to work here. They could have chosen any team out there I sure, but they came here because they know this team can be turned around and made in to a Super Bowl contender in time.
So ca
is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?
This Chiefs team is closer to a new expansion team than it is a playoff contender, your expectations should match that.
Does Anything Please Whitlock?
Except a dozen jelly filled donuts?

Once again
Whitlock nails it. Get excited about Weiss and let’s wait and see on Crennel.
Also want to point out how much crap Whitlock took for being critical of those Vermeil teams that could put 40 points on anybody. He regularly pointed out the Chief’s fatal flaws and got flogged for it for not getting on the bandwagon.
With the exception of his “Ty Law will be our savior” call, he’s been spot on with his critique over the years.
Yes, Whitlock has been incredible in his prognostication
Tr-INT Green never was any good. It was a disaster for Vermeil to go into his first season with a retread RB like Priest Holmes as his starter. And everything is always about Ego. The guy is a true seer. /sarcasm
