The Chiefs are getting some love from the football stats gurus at Football Outsiders. From the 2010 edition of the Football Outsiders' Almanac...

There are a lot of numbers in this book that will surprise readers. One of the most surprising, though, is the figure that stands next to the “2010 Mean Projection” line in the box on this page: 8.9. Our projection system suggests that the 2010 Kansas City Chiefs will win those 8.9 games despite winning a total of ten games over the past three seasons. It projects that the Chiefs will shockingly win the AFC West, giving them a home playoff game for the first time since 2003, when Priest Holmes was still in his pomp.

Ok, I know that it's blasphemy to suggest that you like any team other than the Chiefs, but I'm curious and looking for some conversation - what's your favorite team other than the Chiefs? I have to admit that I have a soft spot for the Eagles - McNabb is one of my favorite players (although I have honestly no idea why), and their defense under Jim Johnson (RIP) was always incredibly entertaining to watch.

So what's your favorite (non-KC) team?

Hey folks,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, feel free to delete it if so... I just moved to KC a couple of weeks ago from Lawrence and I'm going to my first live Royals game tonight - anything special I should know about parking/traffic/the stadium etc? I've been to a few Chiefs games and I'm guessing the traffic won't be as bad, but how early should we show up? Do people usually tailgate or anything before the game? What's the best food to eat at the stadium (and is it massively overpriced like Arrowhead? :))

Go Royals!

Now that Cutler is officially on the trading block, should the Chiefs give McDaniels what he originally wanted and trade Cassel for Cutler?

My response is fuck and no. Cassel seems like a good kid with a fairly level head on his shoulders, while the last few weeks have exposed Cutler for what he really is - a crybaby prima donna with massive entitlement issues. It's one thing to get pissed when you think your team is trying to trade you, it's completely another to ignore and rebuff them when they're trying to show good faith and mend fences with you.

There's no doubt that Cutler is a proven QB and very likely a much better player than Cassel, but it's clear that his massive ego needs to be continually massaged in order to keep him happy. Thankfully the new Chiefs regime is 100% team first, and I could never see them trading someone like Cassel for someone like Cutler.
