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.
Saw this guy out at practice
Let me tell you, the picture does not do him justice at all. ‘Codger’ is the only way to describe him.
Forget the connections...
I just hope we put a good old fashioned ass whoopin’ on the Bucs. Pre-season or not.
10 + wins in 2010. Chiefs SHOCK the NFL!!! Mark it down.

Still mad at Talib
Before work this morning he picked off a Cassel pass intended for McCluster and took it to the house for six. Thanks Madden 11 you started my day off on the wrong foot.
Good 'Ol Ryan Sims

Being a REAL rural kansan
got to say that hutch, witchita, ottawa, are not very rural. Although they are decent areas for sports. I think Witchita is more baseball oriented (although the GREAT Barry Sanders hails from there). I guess this area is more rural than KC, but if you want some out in the boondocks kinda schools, theres Dodge City CC, Garden City CC, and Colby CC. I think that Corry Dillon played 2-3yrs (in my home town) for the Garden City BroncBusters.
GCCC
My grandparents had an apartment in their home and Corry Dillon lived in that apartment for his sophomore year, after some sort of minor conflict on campus. My grandparents had a high opinion of him. He was always very respectful and quiet. They enjoyed having him around.
