Brett Favre: Packers should let me play elsewhere
I’ve been an admirer if not an outright fan of the Green Bay Packers going back to the Bart Starr/Boyd Dowler/Max McGee days. News like that in the posted link always makes me shake my head. Favre, you’ve won Super Bowls, you’ve been an Iron [...]

Go, Chieves

October 14, 2007 – 6:38 pm

They have a halftime lead, 20-7. During the second half, they could still get handed their stindeens in a paper sack, but for now, I’m a happy boy.

Football Sunday Afternoon

October 14, 2007 – 4:29 pm

With the NASCAR event out of the way for this week, I’m rejoicing in the fact that the early game of the CBS NFL doubleheader in our region features the Kansas City Chieves.1

December 24, 2005 – 6:26 pm

Chiefs remain alive, eliminate Chargers. From the article, here’s all that has to happen, playoff-wise:

Saturday at the NFL

December 17, 2005 – 5:07 pm

Man, the CBS pre-game show guys pick the Chieves over the Giants this afternoon. While I realize that the game has to be played to validate that, I’m tickled that the Chieves are more than also-rans this season.

All Hail the Mighty Chieves!

December 4, 2005 – 7:33 pm

Final from Arrowhead Stadium, from where I witnessed one of Willie Nelson’s Picnics, but I digress:
Kansas City 31, Denver 27.
The real hat tip goes to Channel 9 in DC, for finally realizing the fact that the earth doesn’t drop off sharply 100 miles west of here.
