That partly explains why CSU was able to sign the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas, the amazing Chiefs linebacker/DE who died in 2000 just after Donnell celebrated his seventh birthday. CSU doesn’t typically recruit the Kansas City area, but Rams offensive coordinator Pat Meyer was told by a former CSU teammate from the K.C. area that Alexander was the real deal and his backup role last season should not be considered a negative. In fact, it was a perfect way for the Rams to sign a great kid with big-time BCS talent.
The Derrick Thomas Award goes to the top linebacker of the year.
The finalists are Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware, Dolphins linebacker Cameron Wake, and Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson.
It's On Now (Chiefs Remix)
Not sure if this has been posted on here before. It's a Tech N9ne remix for his song "It's On Now" It is pretty legit talking about how the Chiefs and a lot of DT love! And as you all know Tech is the greatest rapper in the game!!
Everyone can thank AP user Holmeslice for this Derrick Thomas image, along with anyone who rec'd up his post in order to completely break apart my previous concept for the bye week painting. Thanks alot Holmeslice :P
I was originally going to do something other than a painting for this week to spice it up a little, but it became very clear after a few emails that this was the way to go.
I had a lot of fun with this one. It had to be John (as my Dad used to call him, "Ole' Horse Lips") Elway, didn't it?
Wallpapers, to break your Chiefs (3-0) fever.
And just because I've gotten a lot of questions / emails about this recently: This is a painting done by me from scratch, using a variety of reference images, by hand with a Wacom tablet, in Photoshop :)
Hey guys, just as i did with the jamaal and tamba paintings, i saved my latest Derrick Thomas painting as a bunch of wallpapers in different sizes for those who are interested.
you can find them here
enjoy :)
Tonight at 8:00 pm on NFL Network Classic Games: from 11/11/90, Derrick Thomas sets an NFL record for the most sacks in a single game with 7. The bad news as we all know is that the Chiefs lose this game.
Former Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas is among 25 semifinal candidates on the ballot for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2009.
The 25 semifinalists were chosen from a preliminary list of 133 nominees. The list will be reduced to 15 modern-era candidates, plus two Senior nominees, Bob Hayes and Claude Humphrey.
Thomas, who died in 2000, is a finalist for the fifth time.
