And now, back to Sports...
 
Before I start gloating, I think we'll avoid touching on the fact that my home football team is also one of those considered to be politically incorrect in the naming department (although their name derives from former Kansas City Mayor H. Roe Bartle, who was affectionately called "Chief" because he was the founder of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, a sort of honor society amongst our local Boy Scouts...an honor society which uses Native American traditions in their practices). We do the tomahawk chop here, and have a lot of Native American motifs (hell, our stadium is named "Arrowhead", for crying out loud), possibly to our dishonor.

However, that doesn't change the fact that we are 5-0 after today's squeaker defeat of the Denver Donkeys, again thanks to a circus performance runback of a punt by Dante Hall...the incredible, NFL record-setting, peforming a feat never before performed by an NFL player, Dante Hall.

Our offense sputtered a bit once again, but our D stood tall when it counted. The Donkeys had a lot of luck, recovering a lot of fumbles that could easily have been lost, and Jake the Snake had a good game, as did Shannon Sharpe, but in the end, KC wins the battle of the AFC West undefeateds, and stands alone atop our division!

Woo Hoo?! Can I get a Woo Hoo!???

Cowboys Eagles
 
Dave,

I'm new. I'm local. I'm a Cowboys fan. Look out this Sunday. Will it be Donovan we saw in the last 6 Cowboys games that squishes us under his boot heel, or the floundering mess he's been so far this year? Will Dandy Andy blow the game plan and try to throw on D. Woodson and Roy Williams all day, or will he remeber the running portion of his offense. Take the Eagles and the Under....I don't think Quincy can look that good for 4 games in a row.

Good luck...I'll be at the game here in december when Dallas comes a callin.

Quincy Carter is overrated because he's a black quarterback and the media wants him to do well.

QUNICY
 
He's Black????!!!!


:eek:

Will the madness never end?!!

How can a black guy be named Quincy? It defies logic. I thought he just had a good tan being down in Tx.

Elspode 10-12-2003 05:33 PM

Chiefs are starting to scare even me...
 
I won't talk about how disgusted I am that I did not see the game today due to a previous commitment.

I will, however, mention two things...first, Dante Hall was within about two inches of yet another runback for a touchdown, thwarted only by the Packers' punter. Second...WHAT A COMEBACK!

This team has got some serious cojones, eh?

Gah! PBurg is going to figure out a new way to lose every week.

Elspode 10-22-2003 10:36 PM

I'm slipping...I failed to point out that the Chiefs are now 7-0...

Griff 10-24-2003 03:42 PM

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! Off week, they only have to beat the Rams. Theres a break.

elSicomoro 10-24-2003 08:18 PM

The Steelers will be beaten like the stupid bitches they are. Sorry Griff. :)

Now, let's compare the Rams and Chiefs:

St. Louis
--nice, non-offensive name
--4-2...practically first place since Seattle really doesn't count
--number 2 offense
--number 8 defense
--Sycamore is from there...enough said.

Kansas City
--name could be considered offensive by some
--7-0, but perennial chokers
--number 11 offense
--6th worst defense
--Elspode...good guy, but not as cool as Sycamore

But the Chiefs have 3 more tough games this year, while the Rams have only 2.

Oh, and Dick Vermeil is a bastard.

The end.

xoxoxoBruce 10-24-2003 08:34 PM

But the "Bastard" is Reeeeaaalllly goooood!!!!!:D

Elspode 10-24-2003 09:45 PM

Once again, we have a "Cardiac Kids" team, squeaking out one victory after another. They have yet to truly dominate a game. Fortunately, domination isn't a statistic that counts in the W/L column.

We have the Vikes and the Donkeys both in the last four weeks of the season. That'll be make or break, I think. The team attitude is excellent here in KC, though. One thing Vermiel brings is a real sense of *feeling*, a family sort of thing. A guy like Dante Hall, who really couldn't be faulted if he strutted a little and acted like hot shit, behaves like he's playing for his grandpa, and is as humble and well-behaved as you'd like your daughter's boyfriend to be. The rest of the Chiefs are much the same way. It is a very refreshing change after the criminal element we had here in the waning years of Martyball.

These guys might be the real thing, but they are going to have to step it up a notch.

And yeah, Syc, you probably are cooler than me. Hell, most people are cooler than me. I'm relatively unhip by modern standards. On the other hand, my team is 7-0... :p

elSicomoro 10-24-2003 10:17 PM

Let's look at the Chiefs over the past 15 years:

2002: 8-8-0
2001: 6-10-0
2000: 7-9-0
1999: 9-7-0
1998: 7-9-0
1997: 13-3-0 (lost divisional playoff)
1996: 9-7-0
1995: 13-3-0 (lost divisional playoff)
1994: 9-7-0 (lost wildcard)
1993: 11-5-0 (lost AFC Championship)
1992: 10-6-0 (lost wildcard)
1991: 10-6-0 (lost divisional playoff)
1990: 11-5-0 (lost wildcard)
1989: 8-7-1
1988: 4-11-1

Anything's possible this year, but KC has a history of playoff futility here.

Glad I could help you out with that. :)
