With the 11th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis Here is our scouting report on Poe: Thoughts Poe is not a name a casual draft follower will not be onto yet, but as soon as the pre-draft process rolls a...

The Kansas City Chiefs addressed their most glaring need on offensive Saturday, signing veteran tackle Eric Winston, and then adding depth at quarterback by agreeing to terms with Brady Quinn. Winston was in the fourth year of a $30 million, five-yea...

For the past two seasons I’ve issued my report cards in reverse depth chart order, starting with long snapper and ending with quarterback. I did that for dramatic effect. There’s not much mystery in what I’m going to say about Matt Cassel though, so ...

January sucks. It’s cold as hell, and for many of us it’s a reminder that we spent yet another 12 months not doing any of the things we set out to do. We reevaluate our career trajectories. We reevaluate our finances. We reevaluate our waistlines. Ch...

I held off writing this season’s final game review in hopes that an announcement would be made regarding the vacant head coach position. By now everybody knows that Romeo Crennel has been given the job. I’ve made no secret that this is what I wanted....

With Saturday’s loss to the Oakland Raiders, the 2011 Chiefs were officially eliminated from playoff contention. In the grand scheme of things, this is meaningless. The 2011 Chiefs were officially eliminated from Super Bowl contention on September 11...

Aaron Rodgers is having the best season an NFL quarterback ever had. Don’t take my word for it. Google it. Kurt Warner and Tom Brady said it, not me. Mind you, they said it before Rodgers was dismantled by Romeo Crennel’s defense last Sunday, but I d...

Immediately after Todd Haley was fired, one thought crossed my mind. I couldn’t wait to see what the future would hold for the Chiefs. So on Christmas Eve Eve I realized I shouldn’t wait, when I could simply finish that time machine I tried to make f...

At 4-3, this thing seemed imminently winnable, didn’t it? With Jason Campbell out, Tim Tebow in, and Philip Rivers doing his impersonation of David Caruso’s career, the AFC West seemed, in a word, surmountable (never mind that a playoff berth would h...

I began my endeavor into sportswriting a few years back by lampooning a couple of guys I didn’t like: alleged Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards and Cubs relief pitcher Bob Howry. Some of you may remember the former. I found them while clearing out an ol...

The picture on the front page of nfl.com right now is of a player named Houston bringing down Tim Tebow. In principle, that sounds great to me. Unfortunately, it’s not Justin Houston, but rather Oakland defensive end Lamarr Houston. Anticipate seeing...

In August, 2010, I summed up the second half of the Chiefs’ second preseason game with three words: Tyler Palko sucked. I doubt I could find more accurate words than those to sum up Monday night’s affairs. Palko did a lot to reaffirm exactly why it i...

Two weeks ago, at 4-3 and tied for the top spot in the AFC West, the Chiefs looked like a miracle in the making. Shutting out the Raiders on their own turf helped purge the painful memories of mid-September and the Revenge of the Jilted Coordinators....

I have never felt a closer kinship with the players of the Kansas City Chiefs than I did last Sunday around about 2:15. The players and I had what I guess you could term as parallel experiences. I, like they, opened their eyes to discover I had slept...

In the week leading up to Monday night’s game, the Chiefs were hyped as having the chance to be the first team since the 2000 Steelers to lose their first three games, then win their next four. However weak one perceives their opponents to have been ...

Once again I’m opening a game review with proverbial egg on my face. Over the past week, a reader brought to light a statistical inaccuracy in my analysis of Matt Cassel from the Colts game. In the article, I offered a very damning figure demonstrati...

Last year, the Chiefs were a Cinderella team. Fueled by hopes and dreams, along with a cupcake schedule, they surprised everyone but themselves by going 3-0 out of the gate. After a year of solid, mistake free football, everything imploded all at onc...

I’m starting this week’s article with a bit of egg on my face. Historically speaking, I’ve been meticulous about nailing down accurate stats for my articles. Last week, feeling the crunch to get the game review posted, I consulted Google for a stat I...

Parity is a fickle mistress, and a poorly misunderstood one as well. The word is defined as “the quality or state of being equivalent.” In sports, it’s a way of expressing the ideal that every team is on more or less equal footing, thus, theoreticall...

Ryan Lilja is not a wide receiver. This news probably does not shock you. Ryan has been a lineman dating all the way back to his high school days at Shawnee Mission Northwest. If you’ve ever seen Ryan shirtless, you know he can’t even be mistaken for...
