Ok so I am getting a little antsy but any thoughts out there about AP fantasy football leagues this year.  I imagine that with so many more people around here this year, a single 12 team league would fill up pretty quickly.  What about 3-4, 12 team leagues with a means of then deciding the "grand winner"?  Would stink though if a bunch of people ruined things by signing up and then bailing.  Thoughts?

Like everyone else, I am kinda floored that newchief91 has taken the time to say hello around here so seems only fitting that we learn a little more about this guy:

No need for fancy talk.  We the undersigned, believe that Dan Holtzclaw has the right stuff to be a Kansas City Chief.  We just ask that you, the powers that be, give this guy an opportunity to prove his mettle.

 Folks, can't hurt to try.  This guys been cool enough to keep in touch us during this process, and I want to see him in a chief uniform!

 6'1 240

437 tackles

8 picks

4 forced fumbles

Started every game for four years

Infinite Intangibles

For me the highlight of the day was how well Missouri players did in the draft:

                                       Round                      

Jeremy Maclin                 1                    

Evander Hood                 1                     

William Moore                 2

Chase Coffman              3

Colin Brown                     5

Sulak Stryker                   6

Chase Daniels             UFA signed with Redskins

Thats got to be, if not the best, close to be best draft in Mizzou history. 

 Off topic, but anybody up for starting a petition to get Holtzclaw a tryout for the chiefs?!? (Somehow  I get a sense that Pioli doesnt think much of petitions, though)
