Arrowheadlines: Kansas City Chiefs News 7/7

Pre-Camp Reads: Looking at RB Charcandrick West from Chiefs.com

From undrafted free agent to the practice squad and then a starter with a contract extension all within the span of a year, West was excited to commit to staying with the team that first gave him an opportunity to pursue his dream.

"I told them I just want to play football," West said at the time of his extension. "I'm not a person out looking for money. That's not what this thing is about. I'm just happy to still be in that same room and the same team with my brothers, man, and that's all I've really been worried about. I want to stay a Chief for life.

"The day that I start playing this game for money is the day that I need to go home. You all see me out there having fun. I still see the game as a game, and I like to have fun. When it starts to become a business like that, that's when stuff starts to go wrong in my eyes."

AFC West Q&A: What is the division's best rivalry? from ESPN

These teams have had more than 50 seasons to hate on each other, so all of the rivalries are special. Picking one above the others is like picking a favorite child. They're all good in their own way. The Chiefs and Raiders were the titans of the AFL in its final years, so historically that rivalry has the edge. But Denver is the five-time defending division champion, so any discussion about the hottest of the modern rivalries has to include the Broncos.

In Someone Else's Skin: NFL Considers VR To Give Players Empathy Training from The Post Game

The NFL declined to make its executives available for interview, but such therapy could have particular meaning for the league, considering its off-the-field issues, particularly the high-profile domestic abuse cases of Greg Hardy, Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice.

The Chiefs drew criticism for drafting Tyreek Hill, who pled guilty in 2015 to punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend while at Oklahoma State, in the fifth round this year.

This cutting-edge virtual reality technology could help with NFL player treatment and assessment. And it could extend to coaches, front-office executives and league personnel.

The Atlanta Braves Borrowed Their Parking Scam From Dan Snyder from Deadspin

Note: I included this article because it reminded me of something I recently saw about the Chiefs not allowing drop off service from ride sharing and eliminating a shuttle service. I'll try to find that article and post it in the comments. It might bear watching.

Last week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Braves had quietly asked for and received new traffic ordinances from Cobb County lawmakers. The Accessory Special Event Parking rule, which is among those edicts, bans all privately owned parking lots near the team's new stadium from operating on game days when it opens next season.

There will be no public transportation to the stadium, so people will have to drive, and park, and the rule effectively stipulates that only the team can make money on parking. The AJC story held that the there was "no public discussion of the parking ordinance beyond the title being read into the record."

The Braves issued a statement saying that they'd asked for the statutory parking monopoly for "the safety of the fans."
