Chiefs Should Trade Eric Berry, Kansas City Scribe Says from NFL.com
The Chiefs' salary cap issues are significant, but there's no reason to blow up their team. Berry isn't a problem. He's the type of leader and player that you hope to find in the draft, not deal away. His contract is an unfortunate remnant of pre-CBA life, but dealing him away only creates more problems on a roster that has already lost a lot of starters.
Trading Eric Berry Is Not The Way To Go from ESPN
Though as a strong safety he doesn't play a so-called premium position, Berry still finds a way to impact the game. He's a playmaker and the Chiefs need to do anything they can to hold on to this type of player. And another thing: Berry is just 25. He won't be 26 until late December, so his best years should be ahead of him. If the Chiefs trade Berry, they'll see him making plays for some other team for another six or eight seasons.
Chiefs' Words, Actions Don't Match On OL from ESPN
I wasn't among those predicting gloom and doom for the Chiefs when they lost three offensive linemen to free agency. They've spent a lot of their draft picks in recent years building depth on their offensive line to better withstand this type of hit.
I also believe you get what you pay for and right now, at least, the Chiefs are paying very little for their linemen.

Former KC Coach Edwards: It's All About Service from The Kirksville Daily Express
A career that has included time as a professional football player, head coach and now ESPN analyst is not what defines Herm Edwards.
Those things, he says, are only his occupation. His legacy, and others, is shaped by more than that.
"It's about when you leave this earth," the former Kansas City Chiefs head coach said Saturday in Kirksville, "what did you do for others?"

Behnke Three-time Prediction Board Champ from The Lakeland Times
Behnke (and this article's author) each went through the frustration of constantly picking a talented Houston Texans team that couldn't seem to win a game in 2013, and failing to quickly place trust in a comeback Kansas City Chiefs squad.
"It seemed like each week I kept expecting [Houston] to turn things around; they lost 14 straight," Behnke said. "I was slow to believe in the Kansas City Chiefs who won their first nine games and about the time I started picking them they lost five of their last seven games."
Just 1 Rock Concert Or Football Game May Cause Permanent Hearing Damage from Scientific American
Any sustained exposure to sound above 100 decibels for a few hours may potentially put you at risk for one of those little imperceptible deficits, Liberman thinks. Some of the inter-city rivalry last fall between fans at Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs home games to attempt the Guinness world record for the loudest stadium noise left fans boasting that their ears rang for days after. "Some percentage of people did irreparable damage," Liberman says. It may be that the NFL may have to start worrying about the long-term brain health of their fans along with that of their players.

...In the past few years Smith has been arrested and charged with DUI, marijuana possession and three counts of felony gun possession. On Sunday, he was arrested at LAX and accused of making a bomb threat...
..We don't need to wait for Junior Seau or Jovan Belcher to happen all over again. Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowler and beloved figure in the sport, was diagnosed with CTE -- a progressive degenerative disease of the brain -- after he fatally shot himself in May 2013. In December 2012, Belcher shot his girlfriend to death at the home they shared before driving to the Kansas City Chiefs practice facility and turning the gun on himself in front of team personnel.
