Chiefs Don't Need the Law

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 28, 2005

In fact, we shouldn't even want him. At all. Here's my thinking: Last year, the Chiefs were actually pretty good at stopping the run...for 2-3 quarters. If you look at the statistics, opponents ran on the Chiefs more than the average team, and they usually had average or below-average ypc... [Full Story]

DT or WR?

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 18, 2005

Payzone asks a good question in the comments to this post: Now that Az-Zahir Hakim decided to go to the New Orleans Saints (although he reached an agreement with the Chiefs, he had not yet signed the contract), should the Chiefs go after a WR or a DT? I'd have... [Full Story]

Charger Fans Don't Display Optimism

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 14, 2005

Yes, the headline of this entry is accurate...that fans of the San Diego Chargers shouldn't show optimistim for the upcoming 2005-06 season. Why? Because not since the early '80's has a Charger team began a season as a 'power' and/or 'the team to beat'. Even after their Super Bowl appearance... [Full Story]

Advantage: Brainfertilizer!

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 11, 2005

Remember this caveated prediction? Don't ever doubt me again. Yeah, sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. I could wish, perhaps, that I'd been more definitive in my prediction, but the main thing that would prevent KC from signing him was if he attracted interest from another team.... [Full Story]

Major League Drafts: The Magic Number Five

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 6, 2005

Alan Schwarz has an interesting feature at ESPN entitled, "The Magic No. 5." If history is any indication, baseball's 2005 draft, which begins Tuesday afternoon, should be one of the most notable in history. That's because the baseball draft loves any year that ends in 5.

Freddie Mitchell to Play for KC?

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 4, 2005 · Comments (1)

I first heard this from another KC Chiefs fan, and pretty much discounted it immediately based on Mitchell's character problems. But it appears I may have dismissed him too easily. Check out this report. There's a few interesting aspects to this report. First, KC is actually considering it. They aren't... [Full Story]

Preliminary Roster Guesses, 2005

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: June 2, 2005

Every year I try to guess what the final roster is going to look like. I usually have many of the back-ups wrong, and occasionally someone I think is going to start ends up being cut. But I like to make my guesses, anyway. This year is no different, just... [Full Story]
