Can you believe this?

Pathetic.

Speaking of football. Can you feel it? The season starts in less than a day. Its going to be tough to sleep tonight.

GO CHIEFS!!!

Hell yes! Somebody grab that popcorn tub out of that kid's hands. This video only further reinforces my belief that nearly all of American children's problems can be traced back to their parents. I know this isn't Chiefs related but its Friday and I'm lazy as hell today.

Hat tip to With Leather.

Jason Whitlock, leaving ESPN, went out in style by trashing some of his fellow ESPN hosts.  

(Sigh) Is anybody else getting tired of this fucking act? Whitlock is going to need somebody to donate a heart/kidney/liver/penis later in life.  Jason, why burn all of those bridges now?  Think, my friend, think.

Update [2006-9-26 17:8:21 by Chris]: Whitlock was fired from ESPN on Monday, September, 26th.

[editor's note, by Chris] I thoroughly enjoyed Whitlock's responses.

[editor's note, by Chris] This is also the lowest blow AP has ever given. Probably the lowest anyway.

As I'm working on my preview for this week's game against the Denver Broncos, I felt like I just had to take a quick stab and good 'ole Jake Plummer.  If his life was a sitcom, it would win an Emmy (or Oscar? Not really sure here).

First and foremost, Plummer's look is as about as nasty as it can get in the NFL.  

Sorry I didn't warn you guys on that picture.  I'm sure some of you threw up a bit in your mouth. If website music wasn't so annoying, I'd put on some heavy bass and probably get confused on whether or not I was looking at a 1970s porn star.

Forget the molestache for a moment and focus on Plummer's driving skills.  If you remember, Jake was ticketed in a road rage incident in which he intentionally backed his Honda Element into another driver. At least I think it was an Element. Somebody look that up. Jake must have just left his buddy's house after a munchie session because this is what the driver had to say:

Finally, how can Chiefs fans forget Plummer making one of the dumbest, most uncoordinated plays in NFL history. The Left Handed Pass. The LHP is one of Plummer's specialities in fact. His other speciality is continually being hyped and disappointing Elway fans while somehow keeping his job. If you were backed down against the Chiefs late in the game on your own goal line on 3rd and very long, what would you do?

A. Make the superstar pass you know you're capable of as an NFL QB.

B. Throw the ball away as the Chiefs defense collapsed around you.

C. Do whatever you could to NOT create a turnover deep in your own territory.

D. Switch from your dominant right hand and throw an interception with your freakishly female-like left hand.

If you're Jake Plummer, you choose D! I can't wait for another ambidextrous season from the Bronco's QB.

Despite not reaching 50 votes like I had hoped for, the poll results and timing are just too perfect to pass up now. Why is the timing perfect? Because John Elway came out at #1 in our poll and Sports Blog Nation just added its newest NFL blogger, The Sports Guru over at Mile High Report.

As I was looking over these poll results, the winner was obvious without even having to look at the final numbers. What I didn't notice was that I subliminally had put a lot of Broncos players on there- Elway, Smith, Bailey and of course anybody who does the Mile High Salute.

Why do Chiefs fans hate John Elway? Heart-breaking losses for one. But take a look at the picture above. Its just ugly. He should have just sold cars his whole life with that mug. Some mentally ill Broncos fan is having the thrill of their life, having Elway sign their jersey and grabbing a picture of him doing it. The cold void in Elway's chest tells him to just sign and stay on the cell phone.

Elway: "We need to get all of last year's F-150s off the lot TODAY!"

I will admit I was less hateful when Elway finally won his two Super Bowls because he did indeed deserve it. Anybody who plays in Kansas City's division their whole career deserves anything they're still alive to receive. Still, my brother will literally turn off the TV when Elway comes on, choosing instead to watch black space until the commercial or appearance is over.

And Elway has horse Bronco teeth.

The second place winner is no surprise either. What has Lin Elliot been up to since his demise during the Colts v. Chiefs divisional playoff game on January 7, 1996? No idea. Not even Google has any info on him. He missed three field goals in a 10 to 7 loss. 3 points. 3 missed field goals. Divisional playoff. Nothing left to say.

[editor's note, by Chris] I bet you didn't know that John Elway was actually drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the late 1970s.

When you're a Mile-High, this passes for entertainment.

Since the Chiefs are heading to the Land of 10,000 Lakes this Friday for a scrimmage against the Minnesota Sex Offenders Vikings, I figured a little trash talking may be in store.

To get things going, here is a piece from Kissing Suzy Kolber titled The Vikings: R. Kelly's Fantasy Team. I know none of the Vikings are actually sex offenders (but do we know for sure really?) but its still one of the funnier and more ridiculous stories to come out of the NFL. One question I'd like to ask Vikings players is: How in the hell do you practice football on a tundra? And the whole dome thing is just a cop out.

Chat away.

Another May article from the Tomahawk Blog

Via ESPN.com:

"I've been lucky from a health standpoint, and I feel really good," Manning said. "The injuries I've had, we've been able to deal with them. I don't see, at least now, why I can't play 16 seasons."

Jinx.  I hope he shatters his right hand on somebody's helmet, in Week 1, after tearing his Achilles tendon.  With his right hand disabled, he'll miss out on TWO of his favorite past times.....

Peyton Manning's Achilles heel?  Starting a playoff game.

More to come once I get some time today...

This is from my old Chiefs blog, the Tomahawk Blog. I wrote this back in May.

Casey Printers could turn out to be a great NFL player.  He really could.  But I already can't stand anybody who has this website and who describes himself like this:

Having been presented an opportunity at such an early age, Casey believes that God has completely orchestrated his life from the womb to his journey as a professional quarterback in the Canadian Football League.

And this:

From little league to high school to college and now to the professionals, Printers has always left his mark when given an opportunity. Casey is known for raising the bar with superstar attributes. He began setting and breaking records as a High School and College Quarterback. He lead his college team, the TCU Horn Frogs to three straight bowl games under Coach Dennis Franchione.

Finally, any NFL player (or human being for that matter) who has a link on his website that says "Click here to view Casey's modeling reel" that links to NOTHING, should be run out of town.

I hope the Chiefs didn't think that the "C" in CFL stands for credibility. I'm embarrassed this guy has "Kansas City Chiefs" and "QB" next to his name now.
