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.Sleep well, Aaron Rodgers: As if the Packers new starter didn't have enough pressure placed on him, the Pack went out and grabbed Louisville's Brian Brohm near the end of the second round. With the next selection, the Dolphins got Michigan's Chad Henne, possibly signaling doom for the prosperous John Beck era in Miami. More »

1st Round, Fifteenth Overall: Chiefs Select Branden Albert
Oh God. The Lions made a trade. Carl Peterson dangled a shiny object in front of Matt Millen, and now we all have to adjust.This Brandon Albert blog entry will be written in four styles: dense football scouting jargon, lyrically idiotic Jamie Dukes banter, Thomas the Tank Engine narration, and finally English.

1st Round, Fifth Overall: Chiefs Select Glenn Dorsey
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.

Gee, Your New Rule Smells Terrific
There's now a proposal — by, surprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs — to ban long hair in the NFL next season. The owners will consider it at their meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., next week, because, you know, all the major prblems with the league have been solved. The Steelers' Troy Polamalu is waiting anxiously by his phone for any news. More »

Larry Johnson Can Dramatically Increase Your Salary
The Sporting News' Chris Mottram was roaming around Radio Row at the Super Bowl Media Center yesterday — at the Super Bowl, everything gets capital letters — and came across the Chiefs' Larry Johnson. He was wearing a nice watch. More »

Who's Sorry Now? Herm Edwards Edition
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards, we salute you. Not only did you basically tell your fans to go #### themselves after they complained about the Chiefs' losing record, but then you were forced to sloppily apologize; essentially humbling yourself before fat guys who wear bags over their heads. All in all a glorious sequence for us here at Who's Sorry Now? More »

Thanks Again, Priest Holmes
It's a sad day, folks: It looks like Priest Holmes is going to retire. Obviously, the brief snapshots of Priest Holmes we've seen this season haven't even remotely resembled the Priest Holmes fantasy wunderkind we once knew, but that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy them immensely. It was just nice to see him again. More »

Norv's Worst Debacle Yet
News And Notes From Week 4 In The NFL ...
• Up until yesterday, you could almost have made a case for Chargers coach Norv Turner. (If you were trying really, really hard. The losses were to a dominant Patriots team and the surging Packers. But yesterday, Norv Turner lost at home — at home — to the Chiefs ... the Chiefs! Herman Edwards coaches that team! Even those with the anti-Norv sites can't believe this is happening so fast. One thing to enjoy about this, though; it will be the first and last times a stadium of people will ever be chanting Marty Schottenheimer's name.

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 »

Larry Johnson's Bewildering Denial
So, what do we know about Chiefs running back Larry Johnson? He's probably a little overworked, he went through a nasty contract battle in the offseason and he's best pals with Jay-Z. So when we listen to his the big alleged Larry Johnson anti-Chiefs rant that's all the rage this morning, we are bewildered by his denials. More »

We haven't been watching the Kansas City Chiefs on "Hard Knocks," mostly because, honestly, we watch enough sports as is and really don't need a reality show on it. We're sure it's good, but still: A little Herman Edwards goes a long way. (Because Edwards is the coach on the show, we always imagine the show running out of time just when it's about to end.)
