It is almost like Chiefs fans forget how terrible Herm Edwards was. From what I gather, he held short, weak practices, and wanted to be each player’s best friend. He wanted to be the grandpa instead of the father. It made our team mentality W E A K. And I personally think that is the reason for the ineptitude that we still see. Some people will argue that is was drafting wrong players, or Vermeil ignoring the defense for so long. I disagree.

Is this your homework, Larry?  Is this your homework, Larry? 

Little prick's stonewallin' me.

See what happens, Larry?  See what happens when you $&%^ a stranger in the ass?  DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU $#@! A STRANGER IN THE ASS, LARRY?

I just thought this was fitting with everything that was going on - all the homophobic talk and his name is Larry.  By the way, this dialogue is from The Big Lebowski.  John Goodman as Walter Szobciak.

On Sunday, I attended the Cowboys - Chiefs game.  This was my third overall game at Arrowhead and first since 2002.  Before, during, and after the game I noticed something on the field that was plainly obvious.  Larry Johnson is highly over-rated and should have never received the payday that he did.  In pregame warmups, he is off on his like a primadonna, not wanting to have anything to do with the rest of the team.  When the rest of the team is jogging off the field to the locker room, he is walking at his own pace by himself.  During the game, all LJ does is run into the back of his lineman.  It is like watching Greg Hill all over again.  Does anyone else think it is a coincidence that this team has not won a game in over a year when Larry Johnson is our starting tailback.  Haley has benched practically everyone else, but the one guy who is more of a cancer to this team than anyone else is still starting.  I mean bench him for lack of productivity if you have to...take your pick on reasons to bench this player. 

It was truly a sad moment to watch the Priest Holmes retirement ceremony before the game, and then watching Larry Johnson on the field afterwards.  Oh how I wish Priest was young again.

What about a trade for Carson Palmer...obviously the Bangles are not satisfied with him.  He is a player with leadership ability and the talent to take it over the top.  Some players just need a change of location to flourish.  Trade Tony to the Giants for a 3rd rounder and send that 3rd rounder to CIN for Palmer.  Maybe it is too early to jump the gun, but you got to strike while the iron is hot.  The Bengals benched him and the trade deadline is Tuesday.

Thoughts?

Many will call me crazy.  I would not disagree with the majority, but time always tells.

This year will be a coming out party for Devard Darling.  I have zero conclusive evidence of this.  However, I get the feeling the guy is an adrenaline type player (ala Allen Iverson - practice? practice?).  It is all about the games that matter.  Obviously, with no conclusive evidence to back me up, it remains just a theory and gut feeling. 

I love his build coupled with his speed.  It will be a great compliment to Dwayne "The Arrow" Bowe and Tony G.  I remember he had his best game on Monday night football against the undefeated Patriots last year...I think he may have had 2 TDs or 1 TD and another long catch (like 40-50 yards). 

Anyhow, I am looking forward to seeing what he can do.  It is clear that Herm and Chan are hiding him from other teams at this point.  They will not have any video on him to start the season.
