Friday Morning Update
- You want Larry Johnson running angry again this year? Well he just broke up with his long time girlfriend.
- And we do need a nickname for Glenn Dorsey. We failed greatly last year when choosing a nickname for Brodie Croyle. For some reason, I was pretty set on B. Dazzle. Looking back on it, that name is freakin' terrible.
- Jared Allen, by the numbers.
- Wow. Looks like Wachovia banned AP and Arrowhead Addict from their work servers. This trick may work but I'm not sure. It's a worth a try. Go here to Google Translate, enter in www.arrowheadpride.com and translate it into English. It may work, may not. Good luck you Wachovia employees reading this from home and then going in to work.
- I'm not surprised at all that Mr. Wendler worked in a Star Trek mention in his latest article out of WPI.
- Got a kick out of this headline from The Falcoholic - Someone Is Actually Willing To Pay Us For Joe Horn.
- Another good read from Stampede Blue this time - David Terrell, Koren Robinson, Rod Gardner, Santana Moss, Freddie Mitchell or Reggie Wayne?.
- Blogging the Boys is running down the top ten Cowboy moments of 2007. You think we can give that a stab here? Do we have ten plays we'd like to remember from 2007? Seriously.
- That screen shot at the top is from Madden 2009, which ships in August. For me, it doesn't get any better than Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for Sega Genesis. The announcer on kick offs was the best - "It's up, it's high and it's good." I remember sitting there at age 11 thinking technology had a long, long way to go.
DJ's post from yesterday still has a lot of good discussion going on. SI.com is now featuring our front page stuff on its Chiefs section which means, if you write something great and I bump it up to the front page, your post will be sitting there with the KCChiefs.com content and the Kansas City Star content. For example, right now, DJ's headline is linked on the SI.com homepage at the bottom right under the Chiefs news.
Pretty cool, huh? All the more motivation for me and you to knock it out of the park with each post. Keep up the good work everyone.

Morning Update (Unlucky Edition)
- chiefsfan1384 mentioned recently cut WR Koren Robinson on Friday and it turns out all is not well in the Robinson family -- Koren Cut, Brother Jailed.
Major congratulations are in store for Warpaint Illustrated, who will be celebrating their five-year anniversary this summer. Everyone over there does great work and WPI deserves a place in your favorites if it isn't there already.
AP will turn two at the end of July and that seems like an eternity, so I can't even imagine how I'll feel at five years.
There's a ton of work going on behind the scenes at the various Chiefs sites on the Internet, even if the finished product doesn't give off that appearance. If anyone tells you this isn't hard work, they simply don't know what they're talking about. Kudos to Nick and the crew at WPI for a well-deserved break and an important milestone.
- What if because of salary cap issues on other teams the Chiefs are able to bring back WR Joe Horn and DE Vonnie Holliday?
- Do you ever wonder what former Chiefs head coach Frank Gansz is up to? Neither do I.
- Steven at Arrowhead Addict grades the Chiefs' 2005 draft and comes up with a near failing grade. I gave that draft a B-. And for some reason, I worked "Cha-ching" into the post.
- Don't forget to click the "Recommend" link on FanPosts you like. It is right above the comment section in the post.
- And the Kansas City Star's sports blog is back in business.
- (Cough....Ahem) Link Arrowhead Pride in "In Case You Missed It" (Cough)
- This high school kick is even more dramatic than Phil Dawson's kick last November.
These are exciting times in the non-digital world for me. At the end of this week, I'll be moving down to Austin, TX, for a new job. I'll be away (but always around it seems) from Wednesday through Sunday - packing, driving and getting settled in. Business will resume as normal on Monday though so don't get too worried.
And this means...that I'm going to leave the site in the very capable hands of one our readers during that time. Which one? You'll know on Wednesday morning.
More to come later today. Hope everyone's weekend went well.
