I could tell you that Haley ran a super-successful version of a pass-heavy offense like Pittsburgh's under Ken Whisenhunt (a former Steeler OC) in Arizona, but it's much easier to laugh at him for stuff like this. [ESPN] More »

Earlier in the week, Arizona Radio guy, Mike Jurecki, reported that he was "hearing" that Kansas City would not be paying Todd Haley's final contract year for "cause" (read: supreme asshole-ery). Haley, if you'll recall, was dumped by the Chiefs earlier this year. Despite winning the AFC West in his second year, the Chiefs never really played up to a level that would allow one to overlook his supreme asshole-ery. Haley would later claim the team was tampering with his phone. More »

The Kansas City Star came out with a story that paints a provocative, troubling picture of life in the Chiefs offices under Scott Pioli. To ensure no one would notice, they published it on Saturday night. But we're more than happy to dive in to the tales of a workplace gone mad with paranoia and secrecy—a place where Todd Haley is convinced his personal cell phone is being tapped, and comes off as a sympathetic figure. Think Airstrip One, just off I-70. More »

Kansas City announced it on their website. They haven't announced an interim replacement, but Haley had Romeo Crennel AND Jim Zorn on his staff. So many possibilities! (UPDATE: It's Crennel.) More »

Bus Cook let it ring twice and hung up before I had a chance to answer. I called him right back. "It was an accident," he said. "I didn't mean to call you." Not a big deal, I thought. What about the Chiefs? I asked. Would Favre be willing to talk to the Chiefs? I think he thought I meant to ask if Favre and the Chiefs had already spoken. "No," Cook said. "I haven't talked to anybody." OK, then. More »

ESPN told us Favre might talk to the Bears, and I've already asked about the Texans. This time, I wanted to know what Favre would do if the Chiefs called; would he listen to them, too? I left Bus Cook a voicemail. You heard it here first. More »

During Monday Night Football last week, Ron Jaworski briefly speculated that Tyler Palko was following the Kurt Warner archetype, of a guy who bumbles around for a while before finally getting his shot in the NFL. As Jaws pointed out, Kurt Warner didn't get his first NFL start until he was 28 years old—just like Palko. More »

Are you a Missourian inspired by the St. Louis fan who rode the Cardinals at 999/1 when all hope was lost? Maybe now's the time to throw some dough at Tyler Palko and the miracle Chiefs. (Does that roll off the tongue? Not so much.) Two games out of first in the AFC West, KC is being offered at 500/1 to win the Super Bowl. Maybe not so crazy given that a leaguewide cholera epidemic isn't a mathematical impossibility. More »

There hasn't been much to be happy about recently in Kansas City, save Todd Haley's beard. Yesterday the Chiefs lost to Tim Tebow, who completed but two passes all day, and his third-string running back, Lance Ball. More »

By and large, there's not a lot to like about Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley. He played golf, not football, in high school and college. His father was an NFL big shot. He's prone to tantrums. He rolled over some coordinators quickly. Whitlock hates him. More »

Todd Haley will probably find this more offensive than the two late touchdowns the Ravens scored against his Chiefs. Or not. Either way, it's still a bunch of guys from Baltimore jumping someone. Thank God Omar ain't around to see such disrespect for the rules of the game. More »

The Bill Belichick machine throttled Tampa Bay last night. It was 28-0 at the half, Brady and Ochocinco clicking like they were young lovers. But Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy saw the whole thing as a learning experience, although not an experience to learn the prior opposing quarterback's name. More »

Brandon Flowers, the Kansas City Chiefs very decent defensive back, spotted a fetching lady sometime this afternoon and wishes to reconnect with her in the future by some whim of destiny.

Now, a lawsuit regarding an inflection point along Johnson's precipitous fall from grace has disappeared too. Perhaps Johnson wants to know if his career can come back.
