As you’ve probably heard, the Chiefs ‘ linebacker woes continue. Demorrio Williams is now out indefinitely with a cracked bone in his hand. He will miss the final two preseason games and play with a cast when the season starts. Wes Dacus will start in his place.
Who in the hell is Wes Dacus, you ask? Well, when you search him on Wikipedia you get nothing. That always scares me ...

“Just watch him. He’s like a bowling ball with butcher knives on it. It’s hard to tackle the guy.” - Herm Edwards discussing the play of Dantrell Savage
That’s not only why I like Savage, but also why I’ve dubbed him the Macho Man. He does run like that. Meanwhile, B.J. Sams and Eddie Drummond , the Chiefs ‘ other two most recent return men, return kicks ...

Simple–how many fantasy football teams do you own? Personally, I usually do three or four. Three will probably be the magic number for me this year. The Austin A-Trains (seems like we relocate every year…lol) are my main team, and I’ve been in that league with my brother and the Old Chief for going on six years. That’s the team that matters. For some people, they all ...

As you guys probably know, Joe Horn was cut today. The ex- Chiefs receiver apparently has interest in both the Broncos and Chargers . Man, would it be weird seeing him in one of those unis or what? From ESPN’s AFC West Blog :
Among the teams newly released wide receiver Joe Horn has an interest in playing for includes the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos . His agent, Ralph ...

I’ll be appearing on Fins Radio tonight, on the On the Fin Side show, to talk about the Chiefs ‘ upcoming preseason game against the Miami Dolphins . Brian Miller of Phin Phanatic was nice enough to send the invite. I’ll be answering their Chiefs questions, but I’ll also try and hit them with some questions about Boomer Grigsby and John Beck .
I’ll be joining ...

I just looked at the NFL news. Two
of the headlines were: A.) Orton starting for Bears;
and B.) Bengals close to bringing back Henry. Talk about Dumb and Dumber . But it got me thinking about the Chiefs’ biggest personnel mistakes. For me, ...
Some bad news about gargantuan tight end Brad Cottam , one of the Chiefs ‘ rooks who was performing the best so far. From BobGretz.com :
TE Brad Cottom injured his shoulder early in the Arizona game and did not return. Edwards does not think he’ll be available for pre-season game No. 3 and possibly No. 4.
This means that out of our top six picks, only Flowers and Morgan , knock on ...

Kent Babb of both the Kansas City Star and its Red Zone blog was nice enough to discuss both the new blog and the Chiefs with me. Here’s the interview…
1. Congrats on Red Zone, your new blog over at The Kansas City Star. What are your plans for the blog?
We’d like Red Zone to be another way for Chiefs fans to get news and get it at any hour of the day, minutes ...

The Chiefs played their second preseason game Saturday night against the Arizona Cardinals . What did we learn from this game? The usual-nothing.
You see, preseason games are not a good judgement of what a team is going to be during the regular season-never has been and most likely never will be. It is a time for coaches and coordinators to play around a little with ...

Which non- AFC West team do you hate the most? For me, that’s a tough call. The Dallas Cowboys , Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers are all up there. I hate the St. Louis Rams , too, as all true Chiefs fans do. Throw the New England Patriots into the mix as well. I can’t stand the 49ers either. I’m going to have to go ahead and say the Steelers over the Cowboys by a ...

One of the nice developments of Saturday night’s game was the performance of Dantrell Savage . He made a major statement as a returner and runner. While he may not have made the team, he makes some numbers interesting in the RB and WR categories. It looks like we are going to keep at least three RB’s ( LJ , Charles , and Kolby Smith ). Battle looks like he is headed for the ...

I keep hearing about how inefficient the Chiefs were in the red zone last night. Now, I’m not defending the play of “you know who” (vow of silence), Chan Gailey ’s mini-step backwards in playcalling or Herm Edwards ‘ love for 9-6 snoozefests, but let’s not be silly. It was obvious, especially on the first drive, that Herm wanted to kick field goals and test ...

(Phew, what a night. I’m still catching my breath from watching Michael Phelps win his eighth gold. After he made his turn it was like he wasn’t even human. It was like he ws sent back in time to kill John Connor or something. We don’t need an Aquaman movie–we got the real underwater superhero right here with us! Congrats to an ...

My players of the game were Dantrell Savage and Turk McBride . There were others that also played well, though. Brandon Flowers . Larry Johnson . Maurice Price . It’s a tough call. Especially when the variables–like playing time and competition faced–were uneven. I’m sticking with my two choices.
Addicts, who were your players of the game tonight?

The top ten reasons why the Chiefs are cooler than the Cardinals :
10. Our young quarterback also can pull some good-looking wool…that hasn’t already slept with half of Hollywood.
9. Ken Whisenhunt is the Wiz of Odds…long odds. The Cardinals are never going to make the playoffs again. EVER.
8. Speaking of playoffs, how many freakin’ years in a row will the Cards ...

It’s gameday, finally, and there are a lot of things that I’ll be monitoring tonight. Primarily, these two things: A.) Can Chan Gailey ’s first-string offense pull an encore to its terrific showing in Chicago?; and B.) Can the Chiefs muster any kind of pass rush against a pretty solid offensive line?
What will you be watching for when the Chiefs play the Cardinals at ...

Fans, lest we forget, is short for fanatics.
As such, we tend, at times, to give attention
to the lesser important matters while more important matters just walk on by without much comment. So, fellow Addicts, time for some introspection. I have ...
