Lazy, hazy, crazy Sunday afternoon, and a Memorial Holiday weekend at that. Picnic? BBQ? Camping? Fishing? Movies? Games? What's in your wallet on your agenda? Use this thread to talk about the rest of your weekend plans, or anything else that comes to mind. And don't forget to "vote" in the Fan Confidence Poll. I'm feeling pretty good about this team. Are you?

Is Stanzi Our Gabbert?
Alfie Crow over at SBNation Tampa bay did a bit on how Blaine Gabbert, despite his horrible 2011 season, absolutely has to be the starting QB for the Jags in 2012 and moving forward.
Part of his argument is the question: "Is Chad Henne going to get you to the NFL playoffs?"
Should we (should or will Pioli) ask the same question of Cassel (vs Stanzi)?
Class, discuss!
Citizens Fund Stadium But Blackout Rule Persists - The Realities of the NFL
Roger Chamberlain walked off the floor of the Minnesota state senate having just watched as taxpayers went on the hook for an estimated $1 billion (at least) over 30 years for the construction, upkeep and debt service on a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. He could only laugh in frustration.
"What the NFL wants," the republican state senator said, "the NFL gets."
All Chamberlain wanted was to assure that since so much taxpayer money was being handed over, those same taxpayers would be guaranteed local broadcasts of all Viking games no matter if the stadium was sold out. In effect, he wanted to make the NFL's blackout rule illegal in Minnesota.
sounds like a reasonable request to me, and of course a request denied ... read more at link location
Translating Coachspeak (Humor & Satire)
by upamtn on May 14, 2012 1:02 PM EDT
on Arrowhead Pride
The Chiefs just wrapped up thier 2012 Rookie Minicamp that went on and on and on for like THREE WHOLE DAYS! Those poor rooks, not used to having to attend that days of classes practice in a row. Gotta feel sorry for those kids, yanno? I mean, Wylie ONLY got a cool $2.5M (rounded off for brevity) for his "graduation present" from the Chiefs (cheapskates!) although it's believed that the team's 1st Round pick, Dontari "Eat The Children For Breakfast" Poe does (or will [see? this is how little I really pay attention: I don't know if Poe has signed or not, but it doesn't matter because if he hasn't, he will {and you thought MNchiefsfan was the only blogger who could do parenthetical asides}]) get a much bigger paycheck than Wylie, and Romeo, along with his staff of coaches, will be earning theirs for sure.
But lost in the midst of our elation that the 2012 NFL Season is indeed coming is what our illustrious team leaders are REALLY telling us about our favorite team, specifically this year's bumper crop of rookies, both drafted and otherwise. I have, therefore, taken it upon myself to do the work that few would endeavor: translating what Romeo Crennel says to something more recognizable, like English. Let's hop jump right to it, shall we?

Sunday Afternoon Open Thread

on Arrowhead Pride
Been rainy the last few days here in Denver, and with the Nuggets falling in Game 7 to the Lakers (Boo! Hiss!) it's likely to take another couple of days for the clouds to completely disperse here among the locals. Ran into a couple of guys last night who loved the Chiefs - Broncos rivalry of the 90's and were still stunned that Grbac started that playoff game instead of Gannon.
This is your open thread for Sunday afternoon. Enjoy!

Beautiful day here in Denver, hope your weather is just as nice. The Chiefs Royals beat the hated Yankees last night so we have a local fee good story there.
This is your Open Thread, and if you like the horses you had to like the Kentucky Derby yesterday. Looking forward to the next leg of the elusive Triple Crown. I'll Have Another.
12 Angry Men
Or The Dirty Dozen, whatever you want to call them, they are 12 football players who will be on the field for the 2012 Chiefs (sometimes 4-5 at a time) who were NOT on the field when the Chiefs were vying for a division title late last December. Read this list:
Eric Berry, Jamaal Charles, Dontari Poe, Eric Winston, Tony Moeaki, Peyton Hillis, Kevin Boss, DaQuan Menzie, Brandon Siler, Cyrus Gray, Devon Wylie, Jeff Allen
Notice no mention of Routt (cause Carr left) or QB, though not having Palko is worth a lot. Oh yeah, still going to add vet FAs (hopefully backup C, S, MLB, right?)
This is just the stuff I think about during staff meetings @ work...

Have we have enough draft talk yet? Hardly, it seems ... and we've already seen our first Mock Draft for 2013. This is your open thread for Sunday afternoon and evening. Gorgeous day here in Denver and I hope it's a great day for you, wherever you are.
Yeah, this shirt's big enough for two.
Mock vs Mock: NFP and Shutdown Corner
Side by side, entire first round showing both sets of picks ... how did the Chiefs do? No real surprises here ... one has Kuechly the other has DeCastro (which means it will probably be someone else)
Heisman winner Bo Jackson starts 'Bo Bikes Bama' relief ride for Alabama tornado victims
In keeping with Texas Chief's great post last night about good news regarding athletes, I ran across this article and thought I'd share it ... Bo and a few other high profile athletes (Ken Griffey, JR and Scottie Pippin, among others) do the right thing to help out people who need help the most
good news is always a good thing :-)
Chiefs 7 Round NFL Draft
Here's what I think the Chiefs draft might look like this Thursday.
1. Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College
2. Amini Silatolu, G/T, Midwestern State
3. Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State
4. Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa
5. Nick Jean-Baptiste, DT/NT, Baylor
6. Isaiah Frey, CB, Nevada
7. James Hanna, TE, Oklahoma
8. Brandon Bolden, RB, Ole MissSo there you go Chiefs fans. This who I think the Chiefs will draft in this years 2012 NFL draft. Comment to tell me what you think of the draft and make suggestions in your comments.

Weeden will get drafted before Tannehill
Here is my CRAZY, UNBELIEVABLE prediction for the 2012 NFL Draft Weeden will get drafted as the 3rd QB off the board before Tannehill. My reasoning is simple actually. Who ever drafts the 3rd QB off the board will be reaching so why reach for a player unless he can help you right away? Tannehill by all accounts does not have the experience to start right away in the NFL, but Weeden is a much more mature, pro ready quarter back that can come in and start this year. The only knock against him is his age which in this case can also be considered a strength. Flame away

Hope everyone is enjoying the weeked. Tomorrow the first spring workouts begin ... almost like real football! This is your open thread, enjoy!
Looking for a fan site
I am looking for a little help here from all you chiefs fans, I am a member of http://www.kcchiefsgames.com/ which is a great site for viewing old chief games. Unfortunately my better half is a diehard steeler fan and is looking for a similar site for them. All you married guys out there know that a happy marriage begins with keeping the little lady happy. So if anyone knows of a site similar for the steelers, please post the link as she would be grateful. I have searched the web and have been unable to find anything myself, so thanks in advance to anyone that can help her.

Saturday Night Open Thread

Slow day all around, which can be a good thing for old guys like me. One day closer to the NFL Draft, and Spring OTA's are almost here as well. The Saints compound things by naming Joe Vitt as interim Head Coach, but he's going to be lost for the first six games of the season, too ... brilliant move but it's their call.
This is your Open Thread for Saturday Night. Any big plans for the weekend or the week ahead?
On Clark Judge's Team Draft Needs article
If all I had to do is watch football and write about it for a living I think I could do a better job than some of these hacks. Here is what cbssports.com writer Clark Judge had to say about the Chiefs and then my take on his take.
Clark says the Chiefs "were in the middle of a division race last season until quarterback Matt Cassel bowed out."
-- The Chiefs actually made their push and GOT INTO the division race AFTER Cassel went out. It took a couple of blocked FG's in Wk16 to keep them from winning it.Clark thinks Thomas Jones is still a Chief for some reason.
-- He's not.Clark points out the fact that Dorsey and Jackson "combined for one sack last year" insinuating the position needs upgrading.
-- 3-4 DE's aren't primarily pass rushers in this scheme. When it comes to sacks, they are more like blockers for OLB's (Hali/Houston had 18 sacks).from the Fanposts by soutee
What about Terrance Newman?
Why not add Newman on the cheap? The Cowboys cut him a while back and nobody ever picked him up. I think he'd be good insurance back there with Routt. He's still a good option and someone the Chiefs should look at. Our secondary is good already, imagine if we could lock up another good corner back there. It would be neat if we did and Newman turned out to be a steal from the Cowboys.

Anyone who thinks Ryan Tannehill has first round talent doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. I've seen writers talking about him at 3 overall. Do I need to give myself a lobotomy to get a job like that? Probably the same guys who thought Kevin Kolb was worth a couple of picks and that Matt Flynn is the next Matt Schaub. News flash: Matt Flynn is the next Matt Cassel.

My awesome Royals video
Hey everyone! I am so pumped up for the Royals 2012 season that I made this video of the 2012 team. I am relatively new to making video's like this but I got my inspiration from the pre-game KU basketball video (you KU fans know what I'm talking about). This video really turned out well and is worth the minute's watch!
Please let me know if I should make a chiefs video like this for their upcoming season! Enjoy!!
