So I am all excited about my High School team winning, the college team I support winning, you can read more about the good teams below this one. There is only one team left to win for me to have a great weekend and that team is playing one of the worst teams in the NFL. Yes I am talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. You think for one damn minute these mis haps could win one freaking game for me, or any one else in this city. Hell no they can't. Why can they not win, well here is my theory and this is just my theory. They suck and they suck bad, but not all was lost.
Herm Edwards had his little problem with a kicker in the first part of the season and the pre season. Well here we are in the middle, or past the middle of the season, and we still don't have a damn kicker. What the hell is the problem with these guys, they have one damn job to do and that is to kick the damn ball and we can not get one that can do it. Now, wait a minute, I know that this may not be the easiest thing to do, so there for I went to a local high school football field and tried it myself. I never kicked a football in high school or college or in pop warner. However, From the 15, 20, and 25 yard line I hit 3 - 3 from each stripe. No, it was not very damn pretty, might not have made a couple of them over the blockers if there had been any there, but I made all of them. I then moved to the 30 yard line and and missed the first 3 and then I decided that I was not leaving until I made one. I was short on all of them until about the 9th try then I made it and then I, in my cockiest walk, left. That was a 40 yard field goal and I am not getting paid for this, yet I made the damn thing. I missed the first 8, but made the last one. The point here is this, I am not a professional kicker, hell I have never tried before. These limp legged guys do this stuff for a living and they can't do it either. So there for I am going to try to be a walk on for the Chiefs. Hell they let Lynn Elliot do it for a whole year and these two knuckle heads. So hell I figure at the minimum wages, I can make it long enough to pay off my house right, well ok maybe not. The Chiefs lack of finding someone, anyone to kick the damn ball cost us a game that should have never came down to this, but it did. Because the head coach can not trust the guy we put in that position. The lack of finding the right players is costing this team more than one game. For the last how many years has the Chiefs had games taken away from them because of this. Think back to the 2 Indianapolis games. We was screwed out of our first playoff win and it came down to a damn kicker that can not kick the ground, let alone the ball through the uprights. Why are we cursed with kickers. We have a damn curse I tell you, forget the goat, forget the Bambino, the Chiefs have the kickers curse and it is still killing us.
Now, that is not the only reason we lost, we lost in my opinion because of the play call, there was 9 to 10 men in the box and what the hell do we do, we run the damn ball up the middle. No chance, none at all. Do we not have a naked bootleg play, look ,the new kid was running rough shot over the Raiders on the outside. No one hit him and got him on the first hit, it took at least one more hit, before they brought him down. Koby, did a pretty decent job in his first start. They had not really stopped him all day, why change what your doing. I have always coached and taught you do what your doing until they stop you. Keep on driving until they stop you. If they want to give up 4.5 yards per carry outside then keep doing it until they stop you. No lets run the damn ball up the middle with 10 men there to stop you, and 6 guys to block. That makes a hell of alot of sense huh. I am an old fat man sitting in my chair watching and can see that. The goofs in the box has to see it. Do we not remember the naked bootlegs that Trent Green ran for touchdowns and big yardage. With the speed of today's NFL, most all defensive guys over run mis direction, hell the Broncos beat the Chiefs with it every time they play. KC is not the only team that falls for this, most teams do. Line up in the I formation and convince the defense your doing what you always do and then bootleg out or sweep outside, at least give the kid with a little speed a chance at making a play for you since the incompetence of the management can not find a kicker. This play alone took the game away from us. Then you have the great 2 time out call. What kind of coach does this, you CAN NOT do this in the NFL. If you want to review the damn thing then fine you throw your little red flag on the field and you review it. While they zebras are hid behind curtain number one, talk about what wrong play you are going to run to take you out of the game. Obviously your not going to call a play to give you a chance, so hell do this while they are reviewing the call. That just for the record was a bonehead decision to ask for that anyway, but hell don't cost yourself 2 timeouts.
Look you had a new kid running the ball and he did a damn good job. Was it the line all of a sudden playing, or just this kid getting hit once and bouncing off and making a play. Don't say the Raiders defense sucks, we all knew that. You trying to tell me that everyone we have played is ranked in the top 10 in rushing defense. I don't think so. I think probably a little of all the above, but the first happened alot on my tv. You have got to go with what works, piss on your game plan, that sucks most every Sunday by the way, and run what works. This team use to have a huge home field advantage and anymore, you might as well play on a neutral field, cause this field is not working anymore. I, in closing, feel sorry for alot of these guys on this team that deserve better. You have a few guys that are on this field bleeding red and gold and getting their collective asses handed to them week in and out. Queen Carl, I think it is time for you to move on and let someone that knows football fill in for you. You want to stay on board, fine you handle advertising and public relations. That is something you are good at. You do not have the stadium filled and will not fill the seats until you figure out your 5 year plan. We was fed that crap about, what, 20 years ago. Come on Queen Carl, it is time to move on. Clark Hunt you have to see what your daddy could not see. I know this is a business, but Jesus Christ, you have to give us something don't you. I mean you would not continue to keep buying the same shitty food if it did not change would you. You would not keep buying the same shitty tires for your car or truck if once every 6 months you have to buy new ones would you. Come on, give us something. You know that we want to keep filling the seats and we want to keep rooting for you, all we are asking for is a little help. It is always feast or famine with you guys. Give us a great offense and no, I mean no defense, then like now you give us a defense and absolutely nothing on offense. Can you not give us a little of both. Don't have to be awesome on both sides, but hell, how about a good offense and an above average defense. How about a 15th ranked defense and a top 10 ranked offense. You have it in the works, I truly believe now all you need to help out is someone to block. You have 2 pieces but they are going to retire before long. Give us a damn line and fire the Offensive Coordinator, and we will be happy and you will fill the seats. Don't tell me that, that is not all you care about, cause it is and you friggin know it. If that is not all you cared about you would have put together a offense to go with the Marty Ball defense. You would have given us a defense to go with the Dick Vermil era offense. Did you even make an attempt? Here, I will answer that, NO you did not. Don't give me that crap that you did, you know you didn't. The seats was filled and that is what you was aiming for. Screw you all I am done, until you can at least make an effort. At least try harder than your friggin kickers are.
Keep reading below for the weekend of all football weekends continues. MU, KU, and some high school football also.

Really Bad Football

NFL and BCS
Ok around the NFL, Lets start with Miami, once again they loose and they are not loosing to good teams they are just loosing and loosing ugly. The more I watch these guys they might go win less all year. i am not seeing anyone on their schedule any easier than a few of them they have already played. I also think that if they go win less the undefeated season needs to be erased. I mean hell, loosing all 16 games is much more memorable than the undefeated, season. Would you not agree? Hell yeah you would agree and you know it.
Now to St. Louis, don't get the big head you are still not a very good team, hell you are not even an average team. Actually of the two Missouri teams you are the worst of the two and no that is not saying much but it is true.
Now, Indianapolis, what the hell was you doing in the first half of this game. You let an average team beat you. I mean an average team beat you. Peyton Manning proves that yes even he is human and you can have a bad game and a bad day. 6 ints that is the most by him, and yet in the second half what happens. Yes they start a comeback, they do this missing their number one receiver and a few others. I think that maybe coach did not have them ready for this game and this is the biggest reason for this loss. Well, besides the KICKER. Don't you just hate to see your team by the un -athelete loose a game for you. Your offense comes in and gives you a chance to win the game with only 90 seconds left. A 29 yard attempt and you friggin miss it. I hate to talk about kickers, I mean I hate to talk about them. They are the heart breakers of the league. I remember a kicker in KC that lost a playoff game for KC and I have never liked them since. Probably never like them again. Lets face it, they are not athletes and you or anyone else will convince me of that. You can talk till your blue in the face. What the hell do they do, nothing kick the damn ball. And what do you do, you friggin don't do your job. Look I can see it if it is a long attempt. this was not much more than an extra point, and you flippin miss it.You Elliotted the damn ball. 29 friggin yards and you missed it. You should be beaten with a tube sock filled with soap. The only job you have is to kick the damn ball. No on is trying to knock your head off and no one is trying to kill you, KICK THE DAMN BALL.
Ok now to the NFC, yeah I hate to admit it, but Dallas my be the best team in the NFC. All though the Packers is a damn close second to them. Romo is throwing the ball really well and has a great long ball game. The addition of Owens might not have been such a bad idea huh. Alot of professional media folks was saying that Green Bay was a good bad team. Well let me tell you something this is the best bad team I have ever seen. Brett Favre is playing like he has another 5 years to play, and his team is almost rallying behind him. They actually have moderate running game. But the old man is still just as accurate as he was in his 3rd year. We have watched him win two ball games with his arm and his arm only. Perfect throws and great catches. This whole team rallies behind him, and everyone knows it. Tell me different and then prove it. That's right you can't prove it. This hall of famer is still got his shit. Not like he use to but good enough to win a few games huh.
BCS, there are alot of people and rankers seem to think that KU does not deserve to be there at number 3. Well look here they are undefeated like I have said and they have won on the road and beating people bad. Not just beating people but beating the hell out of them. Look I knkow their non conferance schedule is pitiful, but that is what it is. Tell who LSU has played that is stellar. Tell me who oregon has played the is stellar. That is right thay have not played anyone that is that great. Then again no one has really played agreat schedule. That is the key, play who you need to and that is about it. Play games that make you look good not to weak but the teams you knw or think you can handle and handle well. KU set up this schedule to give their boy s the confidance to play well and keep playing. Well it had worked and it is appearant to all now. The national boys are even looking at this team. Only one thing I am not sure of and I pose this question to you. What about MU, now I know you are going to say they have lost one. Yeah they lost one and they layed that top ranked team very good and should have won that game. Could have should have I know. They lost a few turnovers and interceptions, and this was the difference in the game. Mu beat the Colorado, team that kU beat 19 - 14, by 2+ scores. They have put clown suits on alot of people this year. I am really looking forward to the Big showdown in a couple of weeks. This game is going to be huge and we all know it. I know some of you reading this may not be Big 12 fans and might even say that this is the weakest league in the country. Is it? Well, the big 12 has four teams in the top 25, that is not to bad. They also have 3 teams in the top 5. Thats right I said top 5. Now, all three teams have a chance at the national championship game. They all have a good chance at the game. They have to play each other to get there and that is what makes this so exciting. First off KU, plays Mu then the winner most likely will play OU for the championship game in the big 12. This winner will, I believe, will be playing for all the marbles. This is not a fans far fetched perspective this is a very realistic observation.
I guess we will all see huh.

Missouri High School
The MSHAA has a real problem. The Problem is the current Playoff and regular season schedule. You see in our big class on Friday night had a meeting between two undefeated teams that was playing and the winner goes to the playoffs and the looser goes home with no chance of a state title. You see in Missouri, the whole season is a practice for the last three games of the season. You can loose your first 7 ganes and win all three of your last games, and go into the playoffs. What did I say, you heard me, win the last three games and you are in the playoffs. In the Class 3 state title last year, the 3a juggernaut Harrisonville played against a team that finished the season at 4-6. Then got their perspective lunches handed to them in the championship game. Now granted, they beat the teams they needed to beat to get there. But does a team with a regular season record of 4-6 need to represent the east side of the state when there was teams who had lost only one or no games until the semi finals. Yes the system needs to be revamped.
Ok so back to the point I started with. Blue Springs and Rockhurst played their last game of the regular season. They played each other and both teams were undefeated. The game started off one sided and then late, the game became closer. The final score was 27-21, with one undefeated team going home. The game was all Rockhurst in the first half, holding Blue Springs without a score. Then in the second half the roles wa switched. Blue Springs kept Rockhurst from scoring. It was a hell of a game and now it turns out to be a slap in that face to a bunch of kids who have played their asses off all year, only to be sent home. How can we do this. I mean we have a organization to help keep the rules fair and to keep the game safe for these kids and they have screwed it all up for several years. Kind of like the BCS computers. How in the hell does that system work? Never mind we will discuss that later. Look Blue Springs and Rockhurst have been power houses in the state for years, and will continue to be that way, even in spite of the screwed up system. I guess they claim to have a new system for next year, there will be two teams advancing in the future, and people are saying it will help to eliminate this problem we are looking at right now. Ok, that is fine tell the kids, sorry boys go home and watch the rest of the playoffs, and we will fix it for next year. I got an Idea how bout if I tell the government, Hey I know I owe you taxes but I will catch it all up next year. You can wait until then right. No I can not wait, this system has been screwed for a long time and it should have been fixed along time ago.
SO my hats off to Both teams and to Blue Springs my condolences.
