No Need to Throw in the (Terrible) Towel, Just Yet.

From the FanPosts. Bumped it up until now for the evening post. -Chris

No, Seriously.

Every week, the topic of discussion in our most popular posts, examine what the Chiefs must do to beat this week's opponent. Facing the World Champions in week 11, (who are looking to wash the bitter taste of being swept by a division rival with the blood of a 2-7 team) some fans are suggesting the only win we are capable of celebrating is leaving the stadium with no major injuries.

I'm here to argue that an evaluation of the Bengals' performance in the week 10 win, shows that Kansas City actually may have a decent shot at going 3-7. Hopefully this won't come off as too much of a leap.

Go ahead. Leap with me.

Todd Haley's Demotion of Receivers Coach No Big Deal

From the FanPosts. I moved everything after the jump because part of what makes soybon's post so great is for the formatting, which doesn't translate very well on the front page. -Chris

Check out soybon's post, after the jump.

Interesting take on the recent demotion of Dedric Ward. Here is a picture from a New York Times article published Aug 25 1999. Note #89.

Haley's press conference after first day of camp.

Haley designed the offense and called plays the last two years for the high-scoring Arizona Cardinals, but will set aside those abilities, at least to start the season. Haley reserved the right to take over later in the season but said Monday that offensive coordinator Chan Gailey would call the plays.

I Have the Power!

 

      At a time of the year where the most interesting stories on our front page contain the title "_ Days to Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp" and "The Greatest Kansas City Chiefs, By the Numbers,"  my mind begins to wander . The strange direction it took recently was spurred by the recent resurgence of interest in my favorite childhood shows by the public at large. We all know that Scott Pioli is "the Don," but perhaps there is another (less maleficent than Vito Corleone) character, which sums the traits of Mr. Pioli. Sifitng though the Captain-type figures of my most beloved cartoons, I worked on connections to Transformers, G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, etc. After much doting on topics which take up entirely too much of my attention, I arrived at a perfect fit.

      Considering the traits of the Don: power, dedication, wisdom, protector... I recalled imitating these traits while reenacting my favorite childhood cartoon. What I hadn’t accounted for was how many other great parallels exist between this fictional universe and the Chiefs Universe.

*Disclaimer: Forgive any gender mismatches please. Character images and descriptions come directly from this site, which to my best estimation was produced by a 12 year-old in approximately 1993. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Masters of the Universe image to enter. Don’t forget to sign his guestbook before you leave. Don't laugh... this dude has had almost 1.5 million visits to his site.

More Photoshop Fun: Philip Rivers as the Joker


Inspired by a recent post by Patty titled "Chargers to Score 535 Points this Season!" in which he covers a story over on sbNation's Chargers blog, I decided to weigh in on the debate as best I know how. As you can imagine I was utterly perplexed by the idea of the league's most distinguished underachievers averaging 33.4 ppg and finishing 14-2. Here are my thoughts: They must be joking.
