A New Era Begins

16 Dec

Okay…busted! I took last week off. We’ll technically, I didn’t take it off – I just didn’t get my work done. Please, please…I’m begging, don’t tell my kids.

My initial thought was to write about how painful the last minute loss to San Diego was. But yesterday as I was watching film, people began to walk briskly down the halls of the Chiefs Offices. After news of Carl Peterson’s resignation broke, things got a bit hectic…and…we’ll….let us just say, I didn’t get my work done again!

I also had a witty prediction all set for the next 5 years based on the AFL decision to cancel the 2009 season. But after reading it, it really sounded more like a psychotic break than vision. So, I’m going to reflect about … you guessed it … Carl Peterson.

Giddy!

Seriously, I was light-headed. It was a physiological response to winning after a long list of …well…not winning. Okay, maybe not – but still it felt good to “just win baby!”

It seems Plaxico Burress was not the only one to shoot themselves in their NFL game last week. I honestly don’t know why any coach would risk getting the best placekicker in the league hurt when a game IS NOT YET on the line. Probably the same coach that would Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks for Thanksgiving

26 Nov

It seems appropriate for this week’s blog to include what I’m thankful for. Of course family, friends, and health are foremost. But there has to be some part of the 2008 season we can all find to be thankful for…

When the Saints Came Marching In

17 Nov

There are a couple of items from the Chiefs 20-30 loss to the Saints that stand out to me.  The first of these is field position.  Shortening the field on the NFL’s number one offense was not the Special Teams finest moments.  We also seemed to lose the battle at the line of scrimmage when it counted.  And bad officiating didn’t help.  (Yes – I know they only had one camera angle.  So, does that make it bad broadcasting?  Give me a break – it’s bad officiating whether it is on the field or in the replay booth – it’s bad officiating.   They can’t fine me!  Bad…bad…bad!!!)

And dropped passes…what kind of SHOW is that? Read the rest of this entry »

Can you feel it?

11 Nov

Never has losing had an allure of success. But there is something about this team. Watching the parade of players try to march in step last week at San Diego was a little unnerving. But despite the look of disarray, each man found a way to contribute. A young team finding a way to be competitive against San Diego was impressive. But a rag-tag young team, that practically had to introduce themselves to one another on the field during the game – well…that was special IMHO.

Monday night I’m fortunate enough to spend some one-on-one time with Herm Edwards. Throughout the last nine weeks Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sailing! I’m sailing!!

Good morning Gil. I SAID, GOOD MORNING GIL!!!

Perhaps everything you need to know about life, you can learn from Bill Murray movies. In particular, “What About Bob?!” Bob Wiley had three simple mechanisms for combating life’s fears and difficulties:

• “If I fake it, I don’t have it!”
• “Baby Stepping”
• “Death Therapy”

Last Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs continued to baby step their way!

The Chiefs had five areas plaguing them game in and game out throughout September and October. These were: Read the rest of this entry »
