The Kansas Jayhawks have hired Florida Gators offensive coordinator Charlie Weis to be their new head coach.
Weis was a long time assistant in the NFL before becoming the head coach at Notre Dame. He then worked for a year as the Kansas City Chiefs as their OC before departing to Florida to join Will Muschamp’s [...]

The NFL Combine is an interesting beast.  It puts a lot of emphasis on some qualities that aren’t usually all that important in a player, especially a quarterback.  But this is the way it’s been done for years, and the NFL likes it that way.  So here are a couple of things we’ve found out [...]

As a Kansas City Chiefs fan for the past 20 years I can tell you a little something about Gunther Cunningham, former Chiefs defensive coordinator.  He talks…a lot.  He says cryptic things about “taking the heart of a team away”, followed by “taking the soul of a team away”.  He curses like a, well, like [...]

It was announced today that the Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker, Tamba Hali, was franchised by the club.  It’s not an ‘exclusive’ franchise tag, so Hali is free to negotiate with other teams.  However, any team that is willing to sign him must not only give up a wad of cash but also 2 first [...]

Wow.  You know you’ve got some serious influence when your team comes to you asks you which quarterback you want.  For Larry Fitzgerald, he’s probably thinking two things. 1) It’s about time and 2) Why the hell is management asking me about this.  I thought they were supposed to have this sh*t figured out.  Well, [...]

A lot of people don’t want to hear it.  Most people don’t really want to think about it.  But the truth is that socialism works.  And it works in the most unlikely place – that most American of all sports – professional football.  Bill Maher at the Huffington Post has written a thought-provoking article that [...]

Until this season, the last player to both register a sack and score an offensive touchdown in the same game was the iconic William “The Refrigerator” Perry of the Chicago Bears back in 1985.  Not only did Perry spend time stuffing the run but he also learned to open big holes on offense.  In 2010, [...]

Seven in a row.  That’s what it took to set the NFL record for consecutive playoff loses.  After a surprising season by the Kansas City Chiefs, the team showed that it’s still not ready for prime time by losing yet another playoff game despite winning the AFC West and hosting the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead [...]

In an attempt to elude police, Brian Reed – brother of Raven’s star safety Ed Reed – ran from his car in St. Charles Parish and jumped into the Mississippi River.  It’s not for certain whether Reed survived his would-be escape into cold water.  According to local law enforcement:
“The suspect jumped into the river, went [...]
