I can't believe how much Twitter has changed the way we cover sports. We hear directly from athletes, get news in real time and are exposed to all sorts of little nuggets to which we previously weren't exposed.
This is one of those nuggets that doesn't really add anything to our coverage but helps pass the day along.
The above picture is the Kansas City Chiefs plane taking off from KCI Airport about an hour ago, courtesy of KCI's Twitter.
Who knew the Chiefs fly Delta?

Let me start it off......
Who knew the Chiefs fly Delta?
Clarks such a cheap @ss!
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
They probably rent the whole plane out.

Clark makes them pay for it
or they would be forced to walk!

this was their alternative:
Borrowed from the Cleveland Indians of course

Seriously though...
I wonder if they have a private jet but it can only hold the 53 players + coaching staff, etc.

more than likely yes
I’m sure they rent it out, it would kind of suck flying a plane to your game with people on there talking crap the whole flight to them.

yep, they have a jet they use, not sure if they own it...but I know they have a jet during the season
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Were they forced to pay for their checked bags & in flight refreshments too?

uhhh duh
you think Clark is going to fork over the money for that?
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
I wonder if he makes them pay for extra leg room too?
He did make the fatties pay for queen size mattresses, if they wanted them.

Wow... KCI must be bored... and rich if they can afford to pay someone to update their twitter page.

of course they're rich!
what else are all those “checked bags” fees for…..
btw….my first time to KC was last year & I flew into KCI….one of my first tourist pics (which is posted on my facebook) had me cracking up…..I got the biggest kick out of the “TORNADO SHELTER” signs. I really was dying. Only then did I realize, I wasn’t in Cali anymore……

I used to...
…work for LSG SkyChefs, the company that cateries the Jet. They are for sure not being cheap, the players had the choice of Filet Mignion, etc (they actually paid for like 3 meals per player so they didn’t risk running out). Each player also gets a massive gift basket, that didn’t just have snacks, had like PSP’s and crap.
Preseason games
are they being televised this year? I was out at a bar last night and they had the bengals/cowboys game on?
Katie
Preseason games are usually always televised?
I remember watching all 4 of ours last year.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
The Bengals/Cowboys game was the rerun of the
Hall of Fame game. Believe there is the ‘start’ of MNF tonight, Chiefs tm, and more games on Sunday.

I Live in Iowa
and one of our local channels played at least the home ones last year on the Chiefs Network I believe. But I have NFL Network and they play every preseason game. Not live but they play them all. I got the Falcons game set to record already at 12:30 AM on Saturday morning.

if you have DirecTV and live in central Iowa...
this Friday’s game will be on KCWI channel 23
Panthers/Bengals on ESPN tonight at 7 CST
Chiefs/Falcons on KCTV-5 7PM CST Friday
Think that’s all you’ll get in the KC area without NFL Network this weekend.

Uh, Panthers/Ravens I mean.
Goddamn ESPN only talking about Bengals is messing with my mind

Trent Green...
Is supposed to be doing play-by-play, color commentary, etc. for KCTV 5.

Delta Airlines Hub Is In Atlanta
The luggage alone for the team would justify it being a Chartered Flight.
Scott Pioli's star will shine in 2010.
Win or lose, the Chiefs scare the bejesus of all opponents in 2010

I heard they rent out the whole plane....
… to make room for all Dwayne Bowe’s groupies.

Wow....I guess we really are a small market franchise.
But then again, Carl said he’s just like his dad. Tax write off.
The jet is a charter jet. No matter who owns the
airplane, the Chiefs pay the fee and the airplane is at their disposal for the duration of the trip. Just like mentioned above the Chiefs have all the amenities. Food, snacks, soft drinks, etc. When the game is over the jet is sitting on the tarmac ready for the return trip to Kansas City. Same deal. food, soft drinks, snacks etc. for the way home.

Anyone else watching the Ravens-Panthers?
I was expecting an open thread…
Needs for 2010:
O-line
D-line
Linebacker
Safety

Yes sir.
Good to hear my favorite John Gruden again. He is the best thing thats happened to MNF in a long time.
are you kidding?
Gruden is a schmuck….he acts like he loves everything about everybody and it gets annoying.

he is alright
but can he please stop obsessing over every damn player on the team. Guarantee if he were on there he would have negative things to say.

Whats the big deal with delta?
I’ve flown it before and it seems no better or worse than any other airline. You act like its some dog shit airline.
I agree
That’s not what I meant when I asked that.

Man if ya'll fly to Europe, use Lufthansa
Free Warsteiners… And ask the hotties for an extra two or three to get ya by. The Germans know how to fly.
nuff said
I hates me some donkeys...
For what it's worth...just checked NFL.com
The Raiders are scoreless against Dallas (6pts) going into the 4th quarter.

My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:
1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
I hate Delta
Anyone else worried about a preseason game on Friday the 13th?
Friday the 13th no problem
It would only apply to the Falcons because their luck would really have to be bad to lose to the Chiefs, at least in their minds.
