What Do You Do When It Is One Of Your Own?



Barry Bonds is generally despised in every city with the exception of San Francisco.  Mark McGuire was recently welcomed back into St. Louis.  As far as I can tell, Shawne Merriman is still liked in San Diego and Buffalo is still behind Marshawn Lynch.  So are Chief's fans still adamant supporters of Dwayne Bowe?

SW Missouri/SE Kansas

I just moved to SW Missouri and I was looking for fans to watch some Chiefs football with. I would be willing to set up Chief watch party or something at a local sports bar if there isn't one up and running already.

Undisclosed Draft Pick

When do teams have to disclose the undisclosed draft pick? I've been googling and I can't figure it out. I figured I would put it in the hands of those who are either more knowledgeable or better at internet searches.

Thanks to NJ Chiefs Fan

For the last few weeks he has taken the time to put together his Chiefs news from the overnight. It is the first post I read every morning and I know it takes some time to put that all together--so thanks. I also noticed that some other SB Nation Blogs have news compilation posts with witty name and a nice graphic. The name Arrow Heds came to mind. Hed is journalism jargon for headline--it seems to fit all too perfect. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to gather the news and I wanted to throw my suggestion out there. Let's get a name together for NJ Chiefs Fans daily morning posts. Let us know your suggestions in the comments. -Chris

Thursday Night Football Open Thread

From the FanPosts. Thanks schraggyj. -Chris

I've been around AP for a while now and there isn't really a tradition of creating an open thread for other team games, but I figured its preseason still so what the hell.  Now I'll try and tie this into some Chiefs related goodness. 

I have to say that I will take our QB and WR situation over the Bucs.  I am not sure I would say that about very many teams--especially regarding wide receivers.  Leftwich reminds me of why I am tired of hearing about QB's with great arms.  It is way overrated.  Usually the really great QB's have great arms (Brady/Manning/Marino) but there are so many strong arm QB's that seem to never pan out.  There seems to be a general consensus among the AP community that accuracy is maybe the most important QB asset. 

I do have a question for the AP community.  Do we root for poor Buc QB play?  The worse the Buc QB's look may equal a higher trade value for Thigpen.

The Washington Redskins used their 2010 third-round pick on Thursday to select Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon in the supplemental draft.

Do the Bear's overspend on their rookies?

I was wondering if teams, such as the Bears, that are famous for signing rookies early end up overspending? We are entering into the time period where the first rounders start negotiating and begin dominating the football press. I honestly don't have time to do any of the research since I take the bar exam in 10 days. I was hoping some of the excellent writers on this site could take this and run with it. Just an idea.

The Chiefs as an organization should set up something were they do the twitter pages for all their players who want to tweet so fans know if the person is who they say they are.

Why Randy Moss Doesn't Affect Matt Cassel's Payday

From the FanPosts. I dropped in the picture. -Chris

This is one of what I am sure will be countless fan posts on the Cassel contract.  I figured I’d throw it out there anyway because it’s a blog and that is the point right.  So I’ll keep this relatively short.  I am going to address what I consider to be the main criticism (mainly coming from the media) that I keep hearing regarding the Cassel signing and then move onto a few real quick reasons (most of which have been already said) that point to this as a smart signing.

Hunters need guns. Law enforcement needs guns. Why would a 36-year old former NFL quarterback, a husband and father of four need a gun that wasn’t for hunting? Why would a 20-year old waitress at Dave & Buster’s need a gun? Both McNair and his girl friend were owners of hand guns. One of them was used to take both lives, apparently her’s.

Gretz's write up today is more appropriate when applied to Burress. The fact that McNair owned a gun seems irrelevant.
