Your 2013 Chiefs, Part 2: Results From Second Half Of Season from KC Star

Week 13 vs. Broncos

The skinny: Pretty sweet of the NFL to give the Chiefs two games against the Broncos in a three-week span. The Chiefs actually kept it relatively close (17-9) against Denver last year, and it's the NFL so you never know what can happen, but ...

The pick: 31-20 Broncos.

The record: 5-7, and at least there aren't banners flying over the stadium.

These Recruits Exceeded Expectations from Nole Nation

Hudson started 10 games as a true freshman in 2007, even playing some tackle. As a sophomore, Hudson would be named First-Team All-ACC.

He'd go on to earn First-Team All-ACC two more times in 2009 and 2010 and would also become a First-Team All-American in 2009 and 2010. Hudson also captured the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as a junior.

By the time he was done, Hudson became the most-decorated offensive lineman in Florida State history.

Hudson was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round with the No. 55 overall pick.

The Kansas City Chiefs Are On Everyone's Fantasy Sleeper List. Oh, No. from The Tulsa World

New coach. Effective quarterback (for six games last season). Jamaal Charles in the same system that made Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy fantasy studs. A pretty easy schedule. Plenty of Pro Bowlers on offense.

Every fantasy expert and magazine is picking the Chiefs to score a lot of points. Charles is inching into the top 5 running backs overall.

I agree with that, but not sure on the rest of it.

Daleville's Tony Richardson Starred As NFL Fullback; To Enter Wiregrass Sports Hall from The Dothan Eagle

"I wasn't a first-round draft choice," Richardson said earlier this week in a telephone interview from his home in Kansas City. "Coming from a small town like Daleville I just really had to bust my butt and work really hard to get where I am. It's definitely a different story. ... But every player - regardless of whether you're taken in the first round or not taken at all - you still have to work and bust your butt."

He agreed he may have been an "under-the-radar" player. But he also said that goes with the territory of playing fullback in the NFL. His job was to make others look good.

Rae Carruth, The Women Who Loved Him, And The One He Wanted Dead from Deadspin

And what about the more subtle misogyny embodied by the late and revered Derrick Thomas of the Kansas City Chiefs, who was killed in a car wreck two years ago? He left behind seven kids by five women, and no will-thus no guarantees of money or consideration for any of the children or any of the women.

The NFL claims it is doing more than ever to educate its recruits. Its preseason three-and-a-half-day symposia are supposed to make its rookies duly aware of their newfound responsibilities to their fans and their leagues and the kids who put their posters on the wall: To avoid the sleaze joints. Steer clear of the hucksters. Grow up quick.

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Andy Reid has one of the best running backs in the league with Jamaal Charles. Reid has one of the shakiest situations behind his starter. Rookie Knile Davis looked like a workout wonder with suspect instincts. Next up: Shaun Draughn and Cyrus Gray. This running game could collapse if Charles was hurt.

NFL Culture By Team (Part 1) from Sports Central

Kansas City Chiefs - This is a team that is in need of a makeover, both on and off the field. On, because they are not very good. Off, because this is a team with a startling recent history of petulant, bratty bullies from former head coach Todd Haley to former general manager Scott Pioli to former running back Larry Johnson. In a sense, they are sort of like the Raiders in that they project a sort of violence, but not in a sexy way you might grudgingly admire, like the Raiders do. The Raiders will steal your woman (with her enthusiastic consent) and leave tire tracks on your forehead. The Chiefs will punch you in the back and spit in your while you're in the bathroom.
