Season Anxiousness

Lanier63 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:06:57 -0000

I am really looking forward to the season starting so we can see the transformation of this new team from the old regime. Obviously the mindset and way of doing things has changed so dramatically that I really do not think we truly know what is about to happen this year. I have seen and read several comments on here on what people are wanting to see this year to help base a judgment on the teams progress under Coach Haley. My personal preference is to see the return of the winning way at Arrowhead stadium, especially in December. That alone would help define the progress that Scott Pioli has worked towards and the fans belief in this new regime.

I also want to thank everybody for keeping up the conversations even if some of the content was redundant. You guys have done an outstanding job keeping our attention and hopes up for what we otherwise wouldn't be able to attain through the major media outlets and that is subject content. You guys all rock!

Dear Lanier63,

Lanier63 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:46:36 -0000

"I have no idea what to think or how to respond."

That was my thoughts with each and every pick this past weekend. After considering each pick and what it means to our team, I may have finally found an answer, at least for myself.

I was expecting the "sexy pick" probably along with 98% of everyone else this weekend. I believe I was expecting the "sexy" each round along with a few trades. Of course we didnt get any of those things which led me to an almost shocked feeling about everything Ive heard about Pioli and Company.

But now I think I see the light.

After what we went through with Carl the past 20 years, Sexy was the one pick that would re-energize the fan base and make people want to buy the tickets. But sexy is not what we needed. Scott said he would "Build a team" not rebuild. As so many peeps have mentioned lately, you have to build inside out and this is what Scott did. Now that he has let go of the remaining Carl regime (scouts) he can cocentrate on getting his people in place to do the leg work and find the new ingrediants for our team.

I believe we are going to be just fine, not necessarily this year, but in a few years to come and its going to be fun. Climb on board and buckle up, this is a cant miss attraction!

Dear Scott,

Millions of Kansas City Chiefs fans will wake up this morning with one important thought on their mind. Those who live with loved ones will smile at their families and say “good morning” and wish each of them a nice day. Those whom live alone will…well just get up and be thankful of another great day to be alive on this earth. But with all the morning duties aside, one item will press most against their mind for the remainder of their day; the 2009 NFL Draft.

In 1960, Lamar Hunt took a first time professional football head coach and developed one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, who became the Kansas City Chiefs in 1963. Stram focused on a winning tradition from the beginning and before a game in 1963 against the Broncos he gave this simple pep talk. "There's no mystery to this game," he said. "Just hit and win. You're the Yankees of the AFL."

Today, you have been given the privilege and opportunity to return this franchise to the history of where it began, with a winning tradition. As fans we believe you have made the right decision on our Head Coach and starting Quarterback and we support you with these persons. You and your staff are going to be able to put all of your talents and resources into place for a once in a lifetime chance at establishing a standard for this team that we have not seen since the Hank Stram era.

From the days of when Warpaint roamed the sidelines and Pride meant more than a paycheck, we as fans have never wavered in our support of what we believe is truly America’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Good luck on your opening draft day and draw upon every ounce of wisdom in your God given talents as you make the choices of our future team. Around Arrowhead we bleed red and gold for life.

While it was painful for us to lose Tony Gonzalez, most of us realize why the trade was needed and those who don’t will soon realize the reward. Tony will be the first of many to come in a long time to embrace the team and the community in their own HOF destinies. What you do today will shape this franchise for the next 10 years and we will be better for it. Good luck, God bless and remember; Chiefs in 09 is our time to shine!

I've had it, This is my last AP visit

until Draft Day...lol. I have to catch up on so much here, and for some reason this BS as Chris said in the media is just dragging me down for some reason this year. Plus I want to concentrate on my plan of action on draft day by printing off all my needed documents. I am hoping you guys will be able to get together at one of the sites mentioned for Saturday and I hope you all enjoy the fellowship with each other. I am planning a trip to KC in June and would like to meet you guys one evening, just dont bring any guns. My Grandmother is 91 and I am not sure how many more times I will get to visit her.

See ya'll Saturday!

Final Trade Predictions (from me)

Lanier63 — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:06:07 -0000

Well it's Wednesday afternoon and the Chiefs have been in the news in 2009, according to Google, 935,000 times. So with that representing 1/1000th of all the Chiefs fans, I thought I would go ahead and give my lame predictions of the number of trades "The Don" himself will make this weekend.

I predict 3 trades of current Chief players between now and 9pm Sunday night.

Tony Gonzalez will be traded.

Brian Waters will be traded.

Tyler Thigpen will be traded.

Larry Johnson will have one "Fart thrown in his General Direction".

Actually i am going out on a limb on the names, but with all I have read and seen on TV and the needs of other teams, and what Pioli has said and the color of my wifes underwear this morning, and wait a second...did I say that?

By the way, I checked the Fanshots before I wrote this and there were no previous entries matching this subject. Bu t I had one eye closed. :)

I opened up my Facebook this evening to find a surprise. Daniel Holtzclaw sent me his Pro day video that is now posted on Youtube. This young man has asked for nothing but a fair chance to show himself and it saddens me to see not very many scouts showing up for his workout. This makes me hopeful even moreso now that he will be selected on the second day and be able to say he was drafted. This is a good guy who just needs a chance.

FORGIVE ME FOR THIS POST

Lanier63 — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:57:50 -0000

I apologize for an almost non Chiefs post. But if you are on Facebook and participate in MAFIA WARS, I think it wold be awesome to get as many people on this site to join each other in thier Mafia's. If only a third of the membership joined together, imagine what kind of Mafia we could build together.

If you are interested, please contact me at my email listed in my profile.

Thanks guys.
