A friend of mine, Eric Townsend (who also happens to be a rock star with the Chiefs Radio Network!) found this intresting post from Adam Schefter, regarding the end of the 2008 NFL season.

Scott Pioli becomes Chiefs GM

We interrupt this message…. Scott Pioli former Vice President of Player Personnel for the New England Patriots becomes General Manager for the Kansas City Chiefs!
IMHO, this is a home run from both Clark Hunt and Denny Thum. Certainly Pioli is the man with the greatest pedigree. He is a four time NFL Executive of the Year. He has three rings. His assistant, former Chiefs,Thomas Dimtroff was responsible for getting Atlanta back on track this year. And perhaps most important, is Read the rest of this entry »
2008 NFL Playoffs – Divisional Weekend

This year’s NFL playoffs might have reinforced two football axioms:
- Defenses win championships.
- That’s why they play ‘em!
Ironically, it seems to also be saying ”Home-Field Advantage” is not necessarily so. In fact, this year home-field tag is synonymous with turnovers! Both number one seeds now at home playing Guitar Hero Read the rest of this entry »
2008 NFL Playoffs – Wildcard Weekend

Every year, I continue to believe that I have finally “seen it all” in the NFL. Yesterday I watched the Wildcard games with great anticipation. I’ve always believed that December’s momentum was more powerful than a team’s win/loss record. But it’s hard to deny that a 12-4 should be able to handle an 8-8 team, regardless of momentum.
Personally, I don’t like Read the rest of this entry »

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 »
When the Saints Came Marching In

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 »
