Time to Strap Up. Lets Go Camping. (Part I)
Posted on 28 Jul 2010 by Vince Sapienza.
Alright this is what separates football fans from football fanatics-training camp. At this time of the year every team has just as good a chance and opportunity to make late season runs as anybody. Each of the 32 teams all are at the same point, undrafted free agents are looking to push veterans out of the 53-man roster, no one players position is safe (unless your Brett Favre), and the summer ...

New Arrowhead. New Season. New Hope.
Posted on 26 Jul 2010 by Vince Sapienza.
Okay fellow Chiefs Nation, it's a new year, new coaches, new personnel, a new place to hang your arrowhead (or hat) in the new stadium, and most importantly a new glimmer of hope. Defensively, we all know of the statistics from last year: gave up 26.5 points a game (29th), gave up 388.2 yards a game (3oth), gave up 156.5 rushing yards a game (31st). The offense has nothing to write back to Kans...

Park that 30 foot wiener somewhere else sir
Posted on 14 Aug 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
I have come across a story so spectacular that I am obligated to come out of retirement from Chiefs blogging to pass it along. The Oscar Meyer Wienermobile showed up at Chiefs camp, apparently in an effort to boost morale. Personally, if I saw a wiener 30 feet long it would cause my morale to sag, but I digress. Anyway, since a different wiener is the official wiener of the Kansas City Chi...

No hassle from Cassel
Posted on 14 Jul 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
After a notable false start, the Chiefs have finally managed to extend Matt Cassel at numbers that initially appear eye-popping by mortal standards but are actually quite reasonable. John Clayton has it as six years, $63 million, $28 guaranteed. Mark Sanchez has similar numbers over five years. Keeping in mind that since he was already signed for the $14.65 million franchise tag for this co...

With the 34th pick, the Chiefs select Cassel and Vrabel
Posted on 19 May 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
Although I wasn't a fan of the Chiefs' first round pick, I was happy with the way the rest of the draft went. Ostensibly, their second round pick was Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel. Although Cassel carries an enormous monetary price tag, he has 15 more starts than anyone in the draft, so for that reason alone he's a better bet than Matthew Stafford. I have my doubts about the lo...

Jared Allen isn’t worth $12 million but TJax is worth $11 million?
Posted on 27 Apr 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
You'll never catch me saying “Team X should have drafted Player Y” within six months of the draft, with the notable example of every team in the NFL as Team X and Randy Moss as Team Y. The vast majority of the time it takes at least three years to get a true sense of which of these players have the makeup to succeed in the pros. For example, in the warm post-draft glow of th...

Tony Gonzalez and wife to Atlanta
Posted on 23 Apr 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
The Chiefs have traded future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez to the Falcons for a second round pick, according to Jay Glazer, who reports 98% of the stories that John Clayton confirms. Comparing the trade to the Dolphins getting a 2nd rounder for Jason Taylor, who was two seasons away from winning AP Defensive Player of the Year and taken in the same draft, Kansas City should feel good ...

How Peter King did the Chiefs a huge favor
Posted on 20 Apr 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
Every year around draft time football fans are suckered into believing the sweet nothings out of the mouths of their general managers downplaying interest in every man, woman, and child that has ever touched a football. These men who have ascended to positions far more powerful than all but the most elite of public offices are either conditioned to speak nothing but lies, clichés, and n...

Pioli: please pass on the pick
Posted on 14 Apr 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
This is the worst year ever to have a top 3 pick. Matt Stafford doesn't measure up to last year's 3rd overall pick, Aaron Curry lack of pass rushing skills are well documented, I don't no anyone who has actually seen Jason Smith play, Eugene Monroe doesn't have a high ceiling, Michael Crabtree isn't as athletic a receiver as usually goes in the top five, and Mark Sanche...
