NCAA Title Game Pins Teammates Against One Another from The Mothership

And then there were two.

The Louisville Cardinals and Michigan Wolverines are playing for a national championship tonight, with two Kansas City Chiefs WRs, Josh Bellamy (Louisville) and Junior Hemingway (Michigan), each pulling for his former school.

Hours before tonight's tipoff, I ventured downstairs in search of analysis about Saturday night's wins and Monday-night predictions.

Draft Spotlight - Day 16: Eddie Lacy from The Mothership

Eddie Lacy left his mark on college football in spectacular fashion, rushing 20 times for 140 yards and one TD, during Alabama's 42-14 victory over Notre Dame, winning the BCS National Championship for the second-straight year, while earning the game's offensive MVP award.

It seemed to be only a matter of time for Lacy, who played behind teammates and current NFL running backs Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, during his first two years on campus. However, when it came time for Lacy to shine, he made the most of it, especially in 2012.

Team Needs: Kansas City Chiefs from ProFootballTalk

We have seen far worse holders of the No. 1 pick than the 2013 Chiefs. This is a team that had a half-dozen Pro Bowl representatives in January - and all of them are still on the roster. Still, they have some work to do in April. With a good draft, a climb out of the cellar in the AFC West wouldn't shock anyone, especially with the Raiders and Chargers trying to climb back into contention themselves. Finally, the Smith trade opens some options for the Chiefs. They don't need a quarterback this year. If any team falls in love with a prospect, the Chiefs shouldn't let the call go to voicemail.

Mile High Monday: AFC West Offseason Update from Predominately Orange

Kansas City has made more changes in the offseason than any other team out there, and rightfully so. To say they were an embarrassment last season would be an insult to embarrassments. They brought in a new general manager, head coach, and quarterback to completely overhaul the organization. Alex Smith is certainly an upgrade behind center, but many doubt that he is a quarterback that can take a team to the Super Bowl, including myself. Most Chiefs fans would probably be content if he could just score a few points and make them competitive.

Jets, Revis In No-Win Showdown from FOX Sports

There's uncomfortable and then there's awkward.

Uncomfortable might be Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Branden Albert openly stating that he wants to "stay away" from the team's facilities until he has to be there, as he said last week, three weeks removed from having the franchise tag placed on him. Awkward is having Revis, a respected, well-liked team leader and a perennial All-Pro, being forced to show up for OTAs despite his current uncertainty with the team.
