Fair Weather Fans ?

Are we fair weather fans? Well I pose this to you, why is there maybe half or three quarters of the stands full. Look, when our perspective teams are doing well we pack the stands and not when they are sucking. Well, right now alot of teams are sucking and not much chance of change either. Lets look at it. The Kansas City Chiefs have had a sell out for several years now and this year after the beginning of the season, not so much. One of the local tv stations are buying up the tickets to broadcast it. Why you say, well hell they make a ton of money to broadcast it. Even though we are not out at the stadium watching, we are watching at home. The advertising goes way up for this game. I think if I am not mistaken they get some compensation from the league for the televised games also. From the network or the NFL one or the other. So as I sit and watch a pathetic team, in the chiefs, play a horrific game, when it ended they went to the NY Jets game. I could almost count on two hands the people in the stands. It looked like a ghost town. You think for one second the stands are filled in Miami. Well, if they are it is because they are wanting to see the run the tables in reverse. We will get to that later. So, guess what, Queen Carl, your 5 year plan is up, that was about 15 years ago. You did what you wanted and that was to fill the seats. Now your fans are on to you. Put a team, worth spending $100.oo a person, on the field and they might return. Until then they won't be back. You have had your run and it is time for you to move on. I retract what I might have said earlier, you don't need to be in charge of shit, advertising, marketing, anything. Take your bags and move to another city and drain them of their hard earned dollars on a pipe dream. It is not happening here anymore. If anyone is reading and you have tickets to the last remaining game at Arrowhead, stay home. I would love to see about 500 people show up and that is it. No that was not a misprint, or a fat finger, I said it, 500 people in the stands. Don't be giving those greedy, lying bastards anymore of our hard earned money. They need to put something on the field worth watching, let alone spending a couple hundred bucks on going to the game. I can stay at home or go to the bar to watch it and increase the economy. That would be better for everyone, not just the QUEEN.

Now on to the the horrific game, or so called game. After the game I hear something from our head coach that I could not believe. He was pissed at the defense, are you freaking serious. They are on the verge of turning on you Herm baby. You think that there is only one side of the damn ball. I don't think so, not in the least bit. This defense has kept your inept ass in several games for you and your damn Coordinator to loose it for them. You think that these men are going to keep going out and killing themselves for you to lose it for them. Look, I know, I have heard it all before and I am not buying in at all. Defense might help to win the championship, but not without scoring. Are you trying to tell me that if you have a 25 game winning pitcher for you he can win by himself. If he only gives up 1 friggin run and you can't score ANY, guess what dumbass, you still loose. If you hit every green in regulation, and you 3, or 4 putt, guess what dumbass, you won't win a jacket. Do I need to give you more examples. I did not think so. I know you have a decent defense and it is good enough to win with, hell you might even win a silver football. However if you can't score, if you can't putt, if you can't hit the ball, you won't win dumbass. Who is the dumbass, well there is several of you out there on this team. Now you stick a kid out there at the QB spot to get his flippin brains scrambled. Take another one out on a stretcher. Bitch at your defense, the only thing keeping you within 3 points. You really don't think it was you or your damn play calling do you. If this is what your are thinking then you have lost your mind. You are no longer in touch with reality. You have lost the last bit of sanity. I can only hope that with your #4 or #5 draft pick that you, Queen Carl don't have another bust. I will give you a hint you don't need another running back, you don't need another linebacker to turn into a halfback. You need a line. Look around you DUMBASS, the Denver Broncos can stick anyone in as running back and gain a 100+ yards a game. They have done it year in and year out for how many years. You think it is that they are that damn lucky, I don't think so. Not hardly, they have a line. You think that the Patroits have a hall of fame running back, did Green Bay, did Indianapolis, did San Fran? No, none of them did. Now that is not to say that Craig with San Fran was not good, that is not to say that Malony is not good, and the list goes on, but are any of them hall worthy. Hell no, they aren't. Yet they all managed to win the big ones,did they not. There is one exception to this rule. Emmit Smith, and yet he was willing to take a pay cut for the team. Do you have a guy like this, no you have one that you sunk all your money into and has done absolutely nothing this year. Oh he got paid and has done nothing. If he gets healed, guess what, with the friggin line you have he is going to get hurt again, and again and again. Just like your new QB is going to get. Look Len Dawson said it best, Croyle did not have a cast or anything after the game so that is a good thing. That was the only thing the hall of famer could come up with good. Croyle did not have a cast on when he left the locker room. You should be proud Herm and Carl.

Ok, now, those of you who have been coming by here know that I am pulling for the Dolphins to run the tables in reverse. They are about there, we all need to pull together here and root for them. I thought that a week ago they was going to win one and that almost pissed me off. I almost threw a fit. There is one game left that is bothering me, Baltimore. This is a game that could go against all of us that is rooting for them. The record that has made it this long, will have to be erased from the books if they go win less. I don't care if the Pats do win out, I want the other record taken off the books if they go in reverse this year. This will no longer count, it can not count if you loose all 16. We are at 0 - 13 and I am getting excited. If they go 0 - 15 I am going to have a party to watch the last one. That one has to be Nationally televised doesn't it. I mean even if you are in Boston and the Pats are about to go 16 - 0, even you chowds, would want to see 0 - 16 more wouldn't you? Come on, don't you lie to me, you want to see it don't you. Well, if it comes down to that, I am having the party. Hell, I might even get Sunday ticket for one damn game. It would so be worth it.

The Chiefs Tank Another One

Well once again the Chiefs tank another one. The return of Preist Holmes was the only exciting part of the game you might say. Guess what, he did no worse than Larry Johnson was doing. He averaged just over 3 yards per carry. The one thing that Priest did do was he did throw several nice blocks to help protect Huard. This is the one thing that the Chiefs need to be somewhat efficient in the passing game. Bowe had another couple of really nice catches and made a few plays. Brody Croyle comes in and has a so so showing. He had sharp passes and yeah he did have the one INT. Although being fair to him it takes some time to get going and really get accustomed to the action. This will take him several weeks for him to grasp this. As I wrote earlier Brett Favre and John Elway started both of their careers really shaky with interceptions. So there is more to rating a quarterback and how he did, in his first significant play time. He had 1 int and no tds. he was still able to move the team down the field twice one ended with a bonehead move on Preists' part and then you had the int. But in all he did not to bad start. Lets see if Herm will leave him in as the starter.

Ok, back to the part of the story that sparked this column. LJ wanted the big bucks and he has them and has not shown up yet. 559 total rushing yards and a 3.5 average per carry, not to mention he can not block. He can't even fall in front of someone and make them miss the QB. This is not exactly big money type numbers huh. Not in the least. So we bring in a man who has not played for two years, has not seen any significant NFL speed for two years. What does he do, well he averages just over 3 yards per carry and besides the one bonehead play at the 7 yard line and a loss of 14 yards. He does a nice job. All you have heard around this part of the country for that last week was, "oh my god what are we going to do without LJ?" Well it appears to me that you went out and layed an egg just like you have for the other 8 games. So to all redio shows in KC find something worth talking about, we have discussed this all weeka and like I have told several of you we would not be loosing anything and it has now become a reality. You have way bigger stories to report on and talk about. I have a feeling the BCS polls will give you something to complain about and run in the ground all week. Hey Chiefs, you let a team that was last in defense against the run and not good at all against the pass and has had no offense to speak of all year. Then you let them put a Bozo suit on you and you wore it well too, by the way. The defense let you down 4 times late in the game, letting the Denver receivers run rough shot over you most of the second half. up until that point the defense held their own, was getting good pressure on Cutler. Then all of a sudden you give up not on but 3 big plays in the secondary. You can not do this and win in the NFL, even with a really bad team. Hell I had the Chiefs winning all their remaining AFC West opponents. I guess that was a bad prediction huh. None the less the running back situation is not your problem kids in KC. The problem is you have no offense at all. I mean none, but hey LJ got what he wanted huh. You think that he is the type of player to recover and get back as quick as possible. Hell no, he got his guaranteed money. He gets paid to sit at home and eat nachos while watching this pathetic team get embarrassed.

This pic I think pretty much sums up the feel at Arrowhead once again. That was obvious from the empty seat half way through the fourth quarter. This is something you never use to see and now this is the second time in just

a few weeks that the seats are emptying out way before the game ends.

The mystique that was Arrowhead is gone and I think Queen Carl is about to figure that out and in a bad way. Maybe the new kid can get something sparked. Hey he can't do any worse. I mean Damon Played just over a half and through 2 Ints and Brody only threw one. We'll see I guess. Will be going over the rest of the league for a post tomorrow and the new BCS polls. And a new babe of the day, that might be the best part of a Blue Monday in KC.
