I'm sure there is a perfectly good reason why Ricky Stanzi isn't playing this year...but I can't think of it, so try these:

#10. Has been placed on double secret probation. Will not appear again until the homecoming parade.

#9. Scott Pioli has "hair envy".

#8. Chiefs front office is afraid that "If you don't love it, you can leave it" may confuse players coming up on free agency.

#7. Romeo Crennel has discovered the little known "Scrabble Rule" in which a quarter back with the last initial of a "Q" must be followed by a quarterback with a first initial of "U".

#6. Jim Zorn is patiently awaiting the day he takes over as head coach before unleashing Ameri-Stanzi.

#5. Dear God, we could win...and that would ruin everything we've worked for.

#4. The Chiefs are afraid that Stanzi's pro-America stance will discourage foreign markets.

#3. I don't know.

#2. While tapping Todd Haley's phone, it was discovered that Ricky Stanzi is a Soviet spy.

#1. Because nobody likes to hear "I told ya so".
