Congratulations go out to Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, who appears to have beaten the odds by spending a weekend in Vegas with numerous females(?) without any charges being filed. So far. More »

This is an epically comical story courtesy of SI's Jeff Pearlman, that includes the following absurd characters: Rich Gannon, Elvis Grbac, the Kansas City Chiefs, and a dim-witted People magazine photographer. Prepare to feel life-long sympathy for Grbac.

Not So Irrelevant Anymore
Ryan Succop, a kicker from South Carolina, was the last pick of this year's NFL Draft. He's reportedly about to become a rich, rich man. Like, $1.2 million rich. Who wouldn't trade relevance for cash? [Red Zone]

Another NFL Coach Bites It...And It's Not Herm Edwards
Actually it's...Jon Gruden?!?! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired their doll-faced head coach last night. Gruden's Bucs hadn't won a playoff game since winning Super Bowl 37, and had missed the playoffs four of his last six seasons, including a tremendous December collapse this season, starting 9-3 and still missing the playoffs. Raheem Morris, who had been the Bucs' defensive coordinator since, oh, Christmas, will replace Gruden, and personnel director Mark Dominik will replace GM Bruce Allen, who was also shitcanned. More »

Ashley Stewart Sues Larry Johnson, Poses In Wetlands Area
As if Larry Johnson didn't have enough problems — he's returning to active duty this Sunday for the tragic factory fire that is the Kansas City Chiefs — now he's being sued. Johnson allegedly spit on this woman, Ashley Stewart, during an altercation in a Kansas City nightclub last month, so she's taking him to court.

Suddenly, Tyler Thigpen Is So Much More Than Just a Skeleton-Molesting Nobody
The Kansas City Chiefs are mired in a classic rebuilding season but the last three weeks the team has shown remarkable improvement on offense, most notably third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen. The former Coastal Carolina quarterback has responded with some eye-opening output in his last three games, and yesterday, he had his best effort to date: 27 for 41/266 yards/no picks. More »

The Rather Remarkable Self Destruction Of Larry Johnson
Details continue to come out concerning Chiefs running back Larry Johnson and an altercation with a woman at a Kansas City nightclub on Oct. 10, and it's interesting, if depressing, reading. Already scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 3 on an assault charge for pushing a woman at a nightclub, Johnson got into more trouble when he allegedly spit in a woman's face at Club Blonde. This time the incident featured the fun Johnson quote: "I'm going to kill your boyfriend." Larry Johnson: Winning friends and influencing people. More »

Tony Gonzalez to Chiefs: Thanks, You Have Ripped Out My Soul and Left Me For Dead
It was a little surprising to have Tony Gonzalez still stuck in Kansas City at the end of yesterday's riveting NFL trade deadline but the 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end's quest for a Super Bowl will apparently have to wait another lifetime. Even though Gonzalez had politely requested a trade while the team struggles to "rebuild", Chiefs owner Carl Peterson wouldn't budge on his lofty trade demands for a second round pick. More »

Tyler Thigpen Will Guide The Chiefs To Victory Right After He Finishes Making Gentle Back Door Love To This Skeleton
What better way to kick off your Wednesday evening then to have Chiefs' new starting quarterback Tyler Thigpen mock rear-entering a skeletal model. Maybe Coastal Carolina University had just recently generated enough funding to support a human anatomy class and he was just overly excited. Remember, the school's football program began five years ago. That actually might be one of the only groupies the team had. Or perhaps this is a more recent photo and Tyler is demonstrating what he's going to do to the Atlanta Falcons defense this weekend. Regardless of the motivation, rejoice Chiefs fans: your skeleton-banging quarterback is here to resuscitate your offense. Whitlock must be pumped. More »

Has Troubled Joe Phillips Resurfaced Online?
Most of us not in the Kansas City-area probably heard first about former Chiefs' defensive lineman Joe Phillips' troubles through the fascinating HBO Real Sports segment from last January titled "Family Burden." The story focused on a handful of wives of ex-NFL players going through hard times physically, financially and emotionally. Phillips' ex-wife Cynthia was featured prominently in the piece and she painted a very scary picture of the former popular defensive lineman. In the story, HBO suggested that Phillips was on the lam in Oregon on a DUI charge and was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he's out of hiding and he's now got his own creepy, unnerving blog.

The Chiefs Drafted...Well?
We've been cautioned and chastened by many a pundit over the years that it takes years to properly assess the success of any given draft. That may be true, but with the Chiefs unloading Jared Allen to the Vikings for picks, it was important for them to make a splash. Everything seemed to go their way, with Glenn Dorsey, considered by many the top defensive prospect, dropping to them at 5. Later in the first, they were able to trade up to nab Branden Albert, who had been projected as a possible top 10 pick, at 15. Coupled with the second round choice of solid, albeit undersized, corner Brandon Flowers and it's hard not to be excited for once in Kansas City. And the Chiefs have nine more picks today. More »

The big question in March was whether Dorsey had super-secret-surgery on his balky knees. How secret surgery even possible? I can't get a hemorrhoid removed without six referrals and a signed affidavit from the president of my insurance company. But somehow one of the top NFL prospects can sneak in some clandestine arthroscopy between breakfast and The Today Show? Maybe he went to one of those back-alley ACL clinics I've heard so much about.

That Series Of Tubes Can Be Confusing
When you think of all the technological wizardry NFL coaches have at their dispersal, we wonder sometimes if the next world-changing innovation will spawn from the mind of a Dorito-peppered slouch coach bunkered in his office at 4 a.m., watching game film and suddenly discovering cold fusion. They certainly put in the hours. Point is: NFL coaches have their finger on the pulse. Well, except for Herman Edwards. More » -
