Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano had his team playing some really good football these last five or so weeks. This was after an 0-7 start, but it did look as though things were getting better for the embattled head coach. Likewise, Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley got his team’s ship turned around after a [...]
For all of you who have ridden Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte to many fantasy wins this season, you won’t be happy. Nope, heading into your playoffs, the last thing you need is for Forte to get hurt. And that’s what has happened. Forte got banged on the knee by Kansas City Chiefs LB Derrick [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs are the big winners in the Kyle Orton Sweepstakes. So, it would seem that we’ve seen the last of Tyler Palko for a while. Or have we? Orton was putting it out there earlier that if the Chiefs claim him, he won’t report to the team. That could be a problem. [...]
There have been several reports out in the wake of the Denver Broncos releasing Kyle Orton that the Chicago Bears would claim him off of waivers. That’s fine, and we actually believe the reports. The problem? The Bears are 30th in line. That means that just about any team in the league not named the [...]
Fantasy owners of Oakland Raiders’ stud RB Darren McFadden were delighted on Sunday after he left the game with a foot injury after doing absolutely nothing. However, that’s not truly the case if your team is so awful that you also have Michael Bush in your starting lineup. Hey, I got a lot of injuries, [...]
The Oakland Raiders made a big move in trading for Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer this week. It was initially thought that Palmer would jump right in and start this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, according to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, it’s unlikely that Palmer will start. “Two people familiar with situation believe it [...]
We’ve known for a while that the seat of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley has been more than a little warm. The team came out looking like a warm bucket of hamster vomit and throw on top of that the fact that he generally rubs people the wrong way. Well, according to local [...]
When you think of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, two names usually come up first. Nnamdi Asomugha of the Philadelphia Eagles and Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets. But there is another guy creeping into that territory and the Kansas City Chiefs obviously agree with us. The Chiefs just locked up former second-round [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs did not look like a good football team in Week 1. They got pasted by the Buffalo Bills 41-7, and while we didn’t see the game, they probably looked really poor in doing so. It’s bad enough that they’ll be without Tony Moeaki this year, but now they’ll have to deal [...]
There were concerns entering this past NFL Draft about Pitt wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin. Teams were worried about his attitude and work ethic, and it looks like those teams were pretty smart. Nick Wright of 610 AM in Kansas City said on his show Friday that Baldwin got into a fist fight with Thomas Jones [...]
Tyson Jackson was the No. 3-overall player selected in the 2009 draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. So far, he’s been a huge disappointment. There was even some who speculated that he might not even make the team this year. That’s pretty bad. But, apparently, Jackson has been working out with an MMA trainer this [...]
Last August, we passed along an item where some stat evaluators had basically labeled 2009 No. 3-overall pick Tyson Jackson a bust. And apparently, the 2010 season didn’t do much for people to change their opinion of the Kansas City Chiefs defensive end. Despite the fact that Jackson lost his starting job last season to [...]
There has been some pretty bad behavior by the folks who used to play for the NFL lately. We heard previously about Dez Bryant and Louis Murphy, but this time, it’s Kansas City Chiefs LB Mike Vrabel getting in on the action. Acting on a tip, PFT contacted the Switzerland County Jail in Vervay, Indiana. [...]
Kansas City lost to the Baltimore Ravens 30-7 in Sunday’s wild-card round, officially ending their season. Next up for the Chiefs is finding a replacement for Florida-bound Charlie Weis, and according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, the Chiefs are “strongly considering” Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy It’s not the first time McCoy’s name has been [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs have done something incredibly intelligent. They locked up their stud super weapon for the next five years. Yep, they nailed down Jamaal Charles with a five-year contract worth a total of $32.5 million (who knows if that’s really the truth), according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. $13 million of it is guaranteed. [...]
It is a very wild, wild week in the NFL this weekend and there is a lot to discuss. Why is it so wild? I have no clue. I just thought that if I said that, you’d just nod and agree without really thinking about the statement. I know you’ve been waiting anxiously to find [...]
When we talk about “shutdown” NFL cornerbacks, a few names come up. The big argument is always between New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis and the Oakland Raiders’ Nnamdi Asomugha. And despite his age, Champ Bailey from the Denver Broncos still gets in the discussion. But what about this season? How about a guy named [...]
I was a scorching 1-for-4 last week, and you just don’t see that kind of production from most websites. This week has some tough matchups (I truthfully haven’t even looked yet) so let’s get right to the picking for Week 5 in the NFL. Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens (-7) This is going to be [...]
Gold Rushers vs Old Indians (-3) What are you buying? The Kansas City Chiefs as a 2-0 team or the San Francisco 49ers as an 0-2 team? I said in the preseason that I thought the Chiefs had a shot to win the AFC West. Over the last eight years, seven teams have gone from [...]
Not too long ago, the fine folks at ESPN Scouts Inc referred to Tyson Jackson’s rookie season with the Kansas City Chiefs as an “all-around awful” year. There isn’t much wiggle room there. Sounds like it’s safe to say that he sucked. But, he was the No. 3-overall pick in last year’s draft, so he’ll [...]
We preface this post by saying that we have a man-crush on Kansas City Chiefs WR/KR/RB Dexter McCluster. We caught a whiff of McCluster last year when he shat (it’s not swearing if you use a made-up, improper form of the word) upon the University of Tennessee while running for Ole’ Miss. This. Kid. Can. [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs certainly have their share of problems. At times last year, they didn’t look like they were major-league level in many areas. But, according to Scout’s Inc’s Matt Williamson, their defensive line is the big problem. Why? How could this be? They spent the fifth-overall pick in 2008 on LSU DT Glenn [...]
Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe has showed flashes of incredible ability since coming into the league three years ago. He’s also shown the ability to be a Grade A chowderhead. Recently, he told ESPN the Magazine about he and some of his teammates roll on road trips. “My rookie year, we were playing in [...]
This is odd. The Kansas City Chiefs will be treating former Ole Miss RB Dexter McCluster as a wide receiver, according to Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star. “FYI: The Chiefs will officially list McCluster as a wide receiver,” Babb tweets. Wow. Ever see any film on McCluster? This kid is a speedy little [...]
The Washington Redskins almost did it. They almost went through an entire offseason without signing some big name who can’t really play anymore. But, according to Adam Schefter, they signed free agent Larry Johnson to a three-year contract today, so they’ve kept their streak alive. “Filed to ESPN: There’s a new running back in Washington. [...]
