BREAKING NEWS!!! FIRE!!!
Chiefs Talking Points
Well, thanks Joe Posnanski. You have successfully initiated a quarterback controversy in Kansas City. This morning, Posnanski suggests in his column that the Chiefs should turn to Brodie Croyle now because the team seems to have given up on Damon Huard (yikes).
Herm Edwards didn’t do much to suggest there is no decision to be made. From JoPo’s column:
“‘Are you ready to start Brodie Croyle?’ I asked Herm Edwards as he was walking out of the locker room.
‘You going to start a quarterback controversy?’ he asked back.
‘Yes,’ I said.
‘I have faith in Damon,’ he said finally. ‘But I do believe Brodie is our future.’”
Neat.
In Huard’s defense, it does not help that Head Retard Herm Edwards and his mental midgets successfully pulled off the worst game plan known to man:
(Actual notes from the Chiefs game plan as obtained from Bill Belichick)
Offense:
3rd and Long: Run. Everytime.
3rd and Short: GO DEEP TO SAMMIE BABY! They won’t expect the 5-foot-9, 170-pound guy to go one-on-one with them in a jump ball situation. It’s brilliant! No need to put Webb or Bowe out there as decoys either. If it’s not open, take a sack and get the defense back on the field no matter what the situation is.
We made a huge investment into Larry Johnson so we don’t want him to get hurt. Lets limit his touches.
Dwayne Bowe’s route running skills have looked excellent in practice.
Special Teams:
Who’s this Devin Hester guy? Never heard of him. Let’s see if we can exploit their return weakness and create good field position. If he breaks one, I feel confident in the block shedding and tackling abilities of MVP punter Dustin Colquitt.
Defense:
If we don’t give up any points we might have a chance. Maybe.
Additionally, through investigative reporting, Jason Whitlock has learned that the Chiefs plan to run sweeps with Jason Dunn next week to throw the Minnesota Vikings defense through a loop.
I am torn what to do in this situation. Croyle needs a legitimate shot at proving he is the “future” of the franchise. At the same time, look at the defenses he will be facing in his first five starts: Vikings, at San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Bye (aka Cincinnati Bengals) and at the Oakland Raiders. All of them, except for the Bengals, have excellent defenses. Even the defenses after the bye look daunting: Green Bay, Denver, at Indianapolis, Oakland, San Diego, at Denver, Tennessee all in a row. They finish with at Detroit and at the Jets. Yay. I guess now would be as good as any from that perspective.
Seriously, the Chiefs need a sizable sampling of Croyle to determine his future. The Chiefs are going to have a top five pick in the draft next year, maybe even a top three. They will have their shot at Andre Woodson, Brian Brohm and Chad Henne. But if Croyle proves to be promising, then the Chiefs can solves their left tackle issues for the next decade with Jake Long or Samuel Baker or we can replace Jared Allen with Chris Long if Allen decides to bolt and he is not franchised (though I think he will be). Glen Dorsey may even be an option. Knowing Carl Peterson I see us taking Limas Sweed.
Can Dayton Moore do football too?
Monday Madness
Game: Washington @ Philadelphia
Match-ups:
Inoculators - 69 (HA!)
JQs - 78 (Fag.)
Final
Thoughts: Well, at least my defense is doing well. Damn, I feel like the Chiefs. No wide receivers, underutilized backs, spotty QB play… I hate my life and Anquan Boldin.
Bonecrushers - 118
The Gays - 88
Final
Thoughts: There are a lot of jokes here: The Gays got boned; Bones rape the Gays; The Gays get anal raped. But I won’t say those jokes. Wait…
Smurfs - 74
Winkler - 119
Smurfs Remaining…
Clinton Portis
Brian Westbrook
Eagles DEF/ST
Thoughts: Portis is not going to play much do to injury, leaving Westbrook and the Eagles defense/special teams to attempt a 45 point comeback. It’s not out of the question, considering Winckler has no one going Monday night and the Washington defense will give up some yard and points. Still it’s 45 points and it’s the Smurfs. Therefore, I’m rooting for Winckler, the lesser of two evils.
Better Get a New Name - 170
Boldin’s Gay (aka Money Hungry Centaurs) - 101
Final
Thoughts:
Dear Cincinnati Bengals Organization and Fans,
It has come to my attention that your great franchise has a superb offense and zero defense. This was made evident Sunday in your 51-45 loss to the Cleveland Browns. A team so bland and terrible, they named themselves after the grossest color on the planet next to puke green.
Fortunately, I am here to help you. Though I may not be able to help you immediately, I promise that I can help turn your franchise into a championship caliber team and play the game the right way. No more of this “arena football” stuff. All I need is 21 points and I will build you a defense that can play.
We will win football games.
Please call me in January and remember, we play to win the game.
Yours,
Herm Edwards
Wannabees - 102
Outlaws - 121
Wannabees remaining:
Donavan F. McNabb
Thoughts: McNabb is more than capable of having a 20 point day, but I do not think it will be Monday. McNabb is still rebounding from his knee injury and does not seem to be fully back from the injury. If this were the second half of the season, I would say the Wannabees are in a good position to win this match-up. But it’s not.
Picks Standings:
Erik - H2H: 10 O/U: 10 TOT: 20 Monday pick: Eagles, Under
Ben - H2H: 10 O/U: 7 TOT: 17 Monday pick: Redskins, Under
Chris - H2H: 10 O/U: TOT: 17 Monday pick: Eagles, Under
Andrew - H2H: 9 O/U: 8 TOT: 17 Monday pick: Eagles, Under
Fight forces lockdown at Jackson County Jail
A brawl led to the lockdown of the Jackson County Jail Sunday night, according to media reports.
The fight apparently broke out over the Chiefs game, inmates’ relatives told reporters. It was unclear if anyone was seriously hurt, or how long the jail was locked down.
Jail officials declined to comment early Monday morning.

Monday Madness
Games:
Baltimore vs Cincinati

Match-ups:
KC Inoculators 86
Money Hungry Centaurs 59
Inoc Remaining:
Mark Clayton
MHC Remaining:
T.J. Houshmandzadeh vs BAL
Anquan Boldin @ SF
Ravens DEF/ST @ CIN
Thoughts:
Houshmandzadeh, Boldin and the Ravens need to average nine points each to reach 86 points assuming Clayton gains zero points. One problem could be that if the Ravens get to their nine points or more, Houshmandzadeh may not pull he weight. Still, this match-up is still not out of reach for MHC.
Winckler 106
Bonecrushers 35
Winckler Remaining:
None
Bonecrushers Remaining:
Willis McGahee @ CIN
Frank Gore vs ARI
Chad Johnson vs BAL
Thoughts: If one had three players left and had a 71 point deficit, one would want both of their running backs and their quarterback going. The Bonecrushers have two of the three. Chad Johnson seems motivated to have a big game. But the Ravens are a difficult team to score against (bad for Johnson). Then again, the Bengals are a fun team to run against (good for McGahee). Frank Gore should have a good day versus Arizona.
Basically, what PBC have to do is 72 points and have the second highest total of any team this week. Good luck.
Smurfs 123
JQs 92

Zou Remaining (yeah, that one is gay. The Zou is gay. NEW NAME!)
Matt Leinart @ SF

Thoughts: This one should be fun to watch. The Gays are very much in this one, trying to come from behind and screw the Outlaws out of a win. Then again, maybe this won’t be fun to watch. That is, unless you are the JQs of course.

Ode to Kickers
Tense is always an important thing. Notice the difference between the following statements:
I love you
I used to love you
And…
You suck
You sucked
And…
Justin Medlock is a Kansas City Chief
Justin Medlock was a Kansas City Chief
See the difference?
Now, I USED to like Medlock. Well, I never really “liked” him, but I didn’t NOT like him. It was one of those “He’s a rookie so I expect him to have a rough start” kind of things. His pre-season 3-6 performance did not bother me. I figured he was getting used to a new holder, snapper and line. Getting used to the new hash marks and the speed of the game.
Then Sunday happened.
Before I continue, here is a brief timeline that should be noted:
Day Two of the NFL Draft, Round Five: Chiefs select Justin Medlock, generally considered the most accurate of the kickers in the draft and the second best kicker overall.
Day Two of the NFL Draft, Round Six: Packers select Mason Crosby, generally considered the best kicker in the draft with the best leg. Sometimes spotty accuracy.
May 22: Chiefs trade Lawrence Tynes to the Giants for a conditional draft pick.
Now, let’s review the days these three gentlemen had:
Medlock: 1-2, missed from 30-yards, made from 27-yards out
Crosby: 3-3, made from 53, 37, 42- yards out. Hit game-tying field goal with :45 remaining and game-winning field goal with :02 remaining.
Tynes: 3-3, made from 44, 48, 24-yards out
I have no problems spending draft picks on kickers. I fully supported the Dustin Colquitt pick (though it was weird supporting it) when he was picked the third round. Punters don’t score and he was taken on the first day. Kickers do score and Medlock was taken in the second day. I was totally fine with taking the kicker. I trusted the Chiefs made the right decision because I trust Herman Edwards scouting ability (see: Page, Pollard and Hali).
But lets face it, they were WAY off on this one. WAY off. So off, Medlock may not be on the team next week.
So while Crosby is winning games and Tynes is being a steady, consistent performer, we sit here without a kicker, an offense or a return game. Awesome. Carl Peterson rules. Herman Edwards, you’re next.

Mixed Power Rankings
Money Hungry (Top 3)
1st Pick: LaDainian Tomlinson
Best Pick: Tom Brady
Worst Pick: Jamal Lewis
MH may have been the number one team in the league until he traded Cedric Benson (who, outside of the obvious LDT and Brady pick, could have arguable been his best pick) for a solid receiver. The trouble is, with Houshmandzadeh, Williams, Boldin, Glenn, Henderson and Jurevicius now on his roster, he now lacks depth at running back and is spreading his roster thin. With that said, with LDT on ones team, one is guaranteed a top 3 finish.
Springfield JQs (Bottom 3)
1st Pick: Shaun Alexander
Best Pick: Reggie Wayne
Worst Pick: RB’s (Alexander, Laurence Maroney, Fred Taylor, Warrick Dunn)
I do not like JQs’ running backs. Alexander is old and on the downside of his career. Maroney will have a down second season due to wear and tear from last year and the new Patriot passing game. Fred Taylor and Warrick Dunn each have injury issues and make-up the JQ bench. In other words, the life blood of a fantasy team is JQs’ weak spot. Not good.
Krunk Smurfs (Bottom 3)
1st Pick: Willie Parker
Best Pick: Brian Westbrook
Worst Pick: Clinton Portis
I like this team… to not make the playoffs. The Smurfs lack the “go to” guy. Young needs another year of development. Parker and Westbrook are good backs, but not GREAT backs. Gates is a tight end on the same team as LDT. And the Smurf receiving core is rather weak. Its going to be a long season for the Smurfs.
The Zou (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Larry Johnson
Best Pick: Larry Fitzgerald
Worst Pick: Larry Johnson
The Larry Johnson pick is bad for two reasons. First, Johnson is on pace to die this season. If Johnson manages to make it through the season totally healthy AND run for 1750 then we can officially name him Jesus. Second, Addai was on the board when The Zou took Johnson. If not this year, then somewhere down the road, Zou will regret this.
Still, the Zou still has a solid roster and some excellent young talent including Matt Leinart, Lee Evans, Kelllen Winslow, Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. The Zou will be in the playoff hunt.
Weseloh Wannabees (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Steven Jackson
Best Pick: Adrian Peterson
Worst Pick: Ahman Green
The combination of Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson is going to be a tough one to beat. Steady QB play from McNabb, a great receiver threat in Harrison and two stellar defenses in Chicago and Pittsburgh, make the Wannabees a solid playoff contender.
Pollard’s Bonecrushers (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Frank Gore
Best Pick: Drew Brees
Worst Pick: Willis McGahee
The Bonecrushers have a lot of players with the tag of “They’ll be great if”. For instance, Frank Gore will be great if he continues to progress like he did last year. Willis McGahee will be great if he can stay healthy (given my label has him being the Worst Pick, I obviously don’t think he’ll stay healthy). Drew Brees will be great if his team has a 2006 hangover. Chad Johnson will be great if he plays the way he did in 2005.
The Bonecrushers have talent, but I do not see them as being a playoff contender.
Kansas City Inoculators (Top 3)
1st Pick: Joseph Addai
Best Pick: Vikings DEF/ST
Worst Pick: Muhsin Muhammad
Yep.
Winckler (Top 3)
1st Pick: Peyton Manning
Best Pick: Marshawn Lynch
Worst Pick: Ronnie Brown
The Peyton Manning pick could end up being huge for “Team Winckler.” Winckler also has great keeper prospects in Marshawn Lynch. Winckler, for not being at the draft, could have the team to beat.
Columbia Outlaws (Middle 4)
First Pick: Reggie Bush (traded to Inoc.)
Best Pick: Ben Roethlisberger
Worst Pick: Edgerrin James
Somehow, the Outlaws traded Brees and Bush and are still in a good position to be in the top three. How? I don’t know. It actually makes me kind of mad.
Better… (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Carson Palmer
Best Pick: Randy Moss
Worst Pick: Carnell Williams
This is a tricky team. There is great depth at wide receiver and Palmer is a great quarterback. Rudi Johnson, Carnell Williams and Julius Jones is a questionable running back tandem. It’s a weird team.
1st Pick: LaDainian Tomlinson
Best Pick: Tom Brady
Worst Pick: Jamal Lewis
MH may have been the number one team in the league until he traded Cedric Benson (who, outside of the obvious LDT and Brady pick, could have arguable been his best pick) for a solid receiver. The trouble is, with Houshmandzadeh, Williams, Boldin, Glenn, Henderson and Jurevicius now on his roster, he now lacks depth at running back and is spreading his roster thin. With that said, with LDT on ones team, one is guaranteed a top 3 finish.
Springfield JQs (Bottom 3)
1st Pick: Shaun Alexander
Best Pick: Reggie Wayne
Worst Pick: RB’s (Alexander, Laurence Maroney, Fred Taylor, Warrick Dunn)
I do not like JQs’ running backs. Alexander is old and on the downside of his career. Maroney will have a down second season due to wear and tear from last year and the new Patriot passing game. Fred Taylor and Warrick Dunn each have injury issues and make-up the JQ bench. In other words, the life blood of a fantasy team is JQs’ weak spot. Not good.
Krunk Smurfs (Bottom 3)
1st Pick: Willie Parker
Best Pick: Brian Westbrook
Worst Pick: Clinton Portis
I like this team… to not make the playoffs. The Smurfs lack the “go to” guy. Young needs another year of development. Parker and Westbrook are good backs, but not GREAT backs. Gates is a tight end on the same team as LDT. And the Smurf receiving core is rather weak. Its going to be a long season for the Smurfs.
The Zou (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Larry Johnson
Best Pick: Larry Fitzgerald
Worst Pick: Larry Johnson
The Larry Johnson pick is bad for two reasons. First, Johnson is on pace to die this season. If Johnson manages to make it through the season totally healthy AND run for 1750 then we can officially name him Jesus. Second, Addai was on the board when The Zou took Johnson. If not this year, then somewhere down the road, Zou will regret this.
Still, the Zou still has a solid roster and some excellent young talent including Matt Leinart, Lee Evans, Kelllen Winslow, Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. The Zou will be in the playoff hunt.
Weseloh Wannabees (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Steven Jackson
Best Pick: Adrian Peterson
Worst Pick: Ahman Green
The combination of Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson is going to be a tough one to beat. Steady QB play from McNabb, a great receiver threat in Harrison and two stellar defenses in Chicago and Pittsburgh, make the Wannabees a solid playoff contender.
Pollard’s Bonecrushers (Middle 4)
1st Pick: Frank Gore
Best Pick: Drew Brees
Worst Pick: Willis McGahee
The Bonecrushers have a lot of players with the tag of “They’ll be great if”. For instance, Frank Gore will be great if he continues to progress like he did last year. Willis McGahee will be great if he can stay healthy (given my label has him being the Worst Pick, I obviously don’t think he’ll stay healthy). Drew Brees will be great if his team has a 2006 hangover. Chad Johnson will be great if he plays the way he did in 2005.
The Bonecrushers have talent, but I do not see them as being a playoff contender.
Kansas City Inoculators (Top 3)
1st Pick: Joseph Addai
Best Pick: Vikings DEF/ST
Worst Pick: Muhsin Muhammad
Yep.
Winckler (Top 3)
1st Pick: Peyton Manning
Best Pick: Marshawn Lynch
Worst Pick: Ronnie Brown
The Peyton Manning pick could end up being huge for “Team Winckler.” Winckler also has great keeper prospects in Marshawn Lynch. Winckler, for not being at the draft, could have the team to beat.
Columbia Outlaws (Middle 4)
First Pick: Reggie Bush (traded to Inoc.)
Best Pick: Ben Roethlisberger
Worst Pick: Edgerrin James
Somehow, the Outlaws traded Brees and Bush and are still in a good position to be in the top three. How? I don’t know. It actually makes me kind of mad.
