Brad Penny's Comeback Went About As Poorly As Possible
Let's raise a glass to Brad Penny, and, hell, all the Brad Pennys of the baseball world, those thoroughly passable starters who find the right mix of good teams, tepid consistency (or rather, consistent tepidity), and just enough semi-standout seasons to garner tens of millions of dollars over a len...
The Kansas City Royals' New Billboard Is Pretty Clever

Chief-On-Chief Violence At The Pro Bowl
The only remotely noteworthy thing to happen during yesterday's Pro Bowl was Derrick Johnson laying a solid hit on Chiefs teammate Jamaal Charles. More than solid—Johnson, named the game's defensive MVP, went helmet-t0-helmet on Charles three weeks after the RB left a playoff game with a concussion....
Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night.

Chiefs-Colts Was The Classic Playoff Game We Get Every Year
It happens nearly every year and we're always surprised, but Chiefs-Colts was another insane NFL playoff game. After a close first quarter, the Chiefs jumped all over the Colts in the second quarter with 21 points and headed into the half—on an Andrew Luck interception—with a 31-10 lead. The Colts c...

Jamaal Charles Left The Game After This Play
Jamaal Charles left the game during the Chiefs first drive of the game (a touchdown-scoring drive, regardless) after this hit/tackle. It looks like his helmet hits the ground and he clearly was slow getting up. According to the Bob Glauber he is being evaluated for a concussion and his return is lis...

Where Did The Chiefs' Pass Rush Go?
Kansas City came into last night's game leading the league in both sacks and adjusted sack rate. The Denver offense centers around a quarterback who likes time in the pocket to throw the deep ball, and is battling a gimpy ankle. The Chiefs' hope of remaining undefeated and staking claim to the AFC W...

How The Chiefs Stopped Sucking In One Offseason
Before Week 1, if you'd said that the Kansas City Chiefs would be undefeated halfway through the season, you'd have been chased up and down Blue Parkway by men with butterfly nets. Yet here we are, on the cusp of November, and the last undefeated team in the NFL plays at Arrowhead Stadium. How'd th...
Baby Andy Reid Has The Best Halloween Costume
Baby Mangino is a legend around these parts, but Baby Andy Reid has arrived to make a bid for the title of America's Best Baby Coach. You may say it's the mustache that really makes this costume, but I say it's all about the wide, vacant eyes. ...
Michael Irvin Urges Jason Campbell To Lead A "Scalping" Of The Chiefs
Michael Irvin's NFL Network segment was an attempt to inspire Jason Campbell and the Browns to beat the Chiefs in a "scalping." OK. (If Irvin really wants to go with violent imagery, how about he stay closer to home and call for the Browns to stab the Chiefs in the neck with a pair of scissors?)...
