OK, that was pretty cool

I despise Herm Edwards and I don’t like Carl Peterson.  I have no confidence in either of them.  However, I’ve got to give credit where credit is due.  This is the best I can remember feeling about a draft in a long time.  I was fairly pleased after both the 2005 and 2006 drafts, but [...]

Well, this is it

Here we go. The future of this franchise rests on what happens tomorrow. I don’t have to tell any of you that we need a good draft in the worst way. Of course, with Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards in charge the outcome is anything but certain. Who knows what kind [...]

Have the Chiefs jumped the Shark?

I was disappointed yesterday when I heard the Dolphins had signed Jake Long. So you can imagine how I felt when I returned home feelin’ fine from a well deserved(psych) night on the town only to find out that Jared Allen had officially been traded. My initial reaction was an angry, sarcastic laugh [...]

I honestly never thought it would come to this

Well, here we are. Jared Allen is going to be traded. So this is what rock bottom feels like? I would’ve expected more rage, but instead what I’m feeling is a kind of numb sadness*. In a few short years I’ve watched my beloved Chiefs go from playoff contender to national [...]

The myth of the killer defensive tackle(sasquatch isn’t real)

It seems like about half the mock drafts I’ve looked at have the Chiefs taking either Sedrick Ellis or Glengarry Glen Dorsey. Granted, mock drafts are almost completely worthless. The people compiling them usually don’t know what they’re talking about and seldom get even the top few picks right. But even Chiefs [...]

Wouldn’t it be neat to have the next Peyton Manning?

Despite KC Oracle’s continued baffling support of his boy Herm Edwards*, he touched on a good point that I want to discuss.  Clark Hunt was publicly lauded after his first round of interviews for his desire to be more involved in the running of the franchise than his father was.  I too liked that the [...]

The rebuilding fallacy

There has been some talk on the board lately about our new “rebuilding” strategy, so I thought I’d address it. “Rebuilding” is nothing more than code for “We sucked last year, we’ll probably suck this year, and we don’t want to take responsibility for it.” I’m genuinely surprised Chiefs fans seem to be [...]
