I did some math today. Assuming the Doc trade goes through (Looks like a foregone conclusion) and assuming he is the opening day starter (also a pretty good asumption) and assuming he pitches every 5th day (Can't see them going on short days rest in the spring) and assuming he stays healthy (Geeez, there is alot of assumptions), Doc will pitch June 25th, 2010

Summary of Kansas City Chiefs Power Rankings - Week 14 edition

  Gyi0056246194--nfl_large_580_1000_medium
Good afternoon AP!

Welcome to the Week 14 edition of the KC Chiefs Power rankings summary.

After back-to-back divisional asskickings, the Chiefs have continued their downward spiral down the rankings...but there is relief in the horizon! This week we face the Toronto Buffalo Bills which is a winnable game and then in 2 more weeks we face the Eric Mangini-led Cleveland Browns. These 2 games IMO are must wins if we are to say this year has been a success...ESPECIALLY the Cleveland game. I'm not sure my fandom can survive Erin Mangini losses in back-to-back years.

 Anyhoo, on to the rankings...

Spoiler Alert: Not alot of nice things are said about Matt Cassel

Summary of Kansas City Chiefs Power Rankings - Week 12 edition

(Ed. Note by Joel: Bumped up the time a little bit.  These were originally posted a little earlier this evening.)

Good afternoon AP!

Welcome to the Week 12 edition of the KC Chiefs Power rankings summary. I didn't do one last week due to unforseen work committments, but they are back. Chiefs are starting to slowly work their way up the rankings due to winning two in a row and 3 out of 5. A win over the Charges might even propel them into the teens! Woooooo.

This might be my favourite football weekend all year. We have thanksgiving games, a Chiefs/Chargers game and the Grey Cup featuring my beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders! GO RIDERS!

You'll notice on the above picture there is a marriage proposal on the scoreboard from a Charger fan named "John". I wonder its everyones favourite BFTB Blogger Obviousman? I hope him and his husband are very happy together. That comment will probably keep me off the frontpage, but I regret nothing...NOTHING!

 Anyhoo, on to the rankings...

California Redwoods - Las Vegas Loco's UFL Gameday open Thread

Good evening AP!!!

If you are all like me, you've been waiting for this marquee matchup of the Redwoods and the Loco's for weeks! Well tonight is the night! In 3 short hours we'll know who has the pleasure of meeting Florida in the UFL Championship game. I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED I CAN HARDLY STAND IT. I haven't been this excited since the Okotoks Dogs battled the High River Muskrats in the Calgary Junior B hockey bonspiel.

California RB Cory Ross, who leads the UFL in rushing, will be looking for some revenge against a Las Vegas defense that held him to a season low 49 yards rushing on 16 attempts in their first match-up. Locos QB JP Losman is having a very solid season for Las Vegas, passing for nearly 250 yards a game, while throwing for eight touchdowns and completing 62% of his passes.

Anyways, if needed I will put up a couple of overflow threads if needed. We'll probably keep these threads under 1000 comments as they start to slow down after that and I know we all have alot to say.

GOOOOOOOOOO REDWOODS!!!!!

(I want the Redwoods to win but I have a couple Loco's on my UFL Fantasy football roster. Adam Bergen is my TE and my QB is JP Losman the undisputed best player in FF - Eeeeeeee)

See you in the thread,

Craig

You've got a choice, viewers of Kansas City. Your PBS affiliate is showing "A Walk in the Sun,'' a movie about the randomness of war set in WWII, at 3 p.m. local time. In other words, there might be better ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Prediction: Oakland Raiders 24, Kansas City Chiefs 11

Summary of Kansas City Chiefs Power Rankings - Week 10 edition

Good afternoon AP and Happy Remembrance day fellow Canadians!

Well its Raider week. I attached a picture of DJ performing the reverse cowboy on Jamarcus the Hutt. Hopefully we'll see alot more of this in the Blackhole this weekend. The Chiefs need a laugher, no brainer, call off the wolves type of win, and Oakland is the place for it to happen.

Spoiler alert, the fine people over at Walter football don't have very nice things to say about our golf football coach.

Anyhoo, on to the rankings...

It's amazing that the Chiefs covered this game. I had them at +6.5, but I'll admit that they had no business beating the number. In fact, at one point in the live in-games thread on the forum, I promised that I would call Matt Cassel the "Backdoor Bandit II" if he covered the spread at the very end. Sure enough, Backdoor Bandit II found Chris Chambers twice for touchdowns in the fourth quarter with the help of a recovered onsides kick.

Despite what the final score may say, this contest was a blowout dominated by the host. Jacksonville was 9-of-16 on third downs and out-gained Kansas City, 426-301. The Jaguars also won the time-of-possession battle by 16 minutes.

Jacksonville ran easily on the Chiefs. On most plays, the offensive line completely blew up Kansas City's defensive front. It looked like professionals were trying to open up holes against Sun Belt college players. Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries, while Rashad Jennings vultured away a score on a 28-yard scamper. It's good to see that Jack Del Rio and Dirk Koetter actually remembered to run the ball this week.

The star for the Jaguars was Mike Sims-Walker, who rebounded off a poor week by catching six balls for 147 yards and a touchdown. David Garrard went 18-of-27 for 264 yards and that score.

The Backdoor Bandit II's numbers look solid (23-of-39, 262 yards, 2 TDs), but a lot of that was junk yardage at the end when the Chiefs were down 24-6. Backdoor Bandit II took three sacks as well. That doesn't sound like a lot, but remember that the Jaguars had just five sacks on the year coming into this contest.

As mentioned, Chambers caught both touchdowns. That was very fluky, as Chambers (3 catches, 70 yards) had only four targets, most of which were late in the game.

Dwayne Bowe and Lance Long led the squad with 74 yards each. Long shockingly had eight receptions, taking over as the slot receiver for the recently cut Bobby Engram.

Todd Haley is officially an idiot. With Larry Johnson out, Haley was forced to move the more-talented Jamaal Charles into the lineup. Last week, Haley said that Charles was finally "getting it." Apparently not. Charles led the Chiefs with six carries, gaining 36 yards in the process. Haley, himself, obviously isn't getting it yet, and it looks like he never will.
