Boss: 'I'm on the better side' of Chiefs-Raiders rivalry
It's only June, but it's never too early to fan the flames of discord between the Oakland Raiders (http://www.nfl.com/teams/oaklandraiders/profile?team=OAK) and Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.nfl.com/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC).
These teams have been waging war for decades, dating back to their bitter dispute in the old days of the AFL.

Tight end Kevin Boss (http://www.nfl.com/players/kevinboss/profile?id=BOS364606) tossed another log on the fire this week. After spending last season with the Raiders, Boss has found a new home with the Chiefs, where he'll team with Tony Moeaki (http://www.nfl.com/players/tonymoeaki/profile?id=MOE265365) to form one of the division's better tight end pairings (although neither made Rosenthal's top 10 list (http://www.nfl.com/goto?id=09000d5d829ad34b)).
Boss sounds like a man happy to shed the garb of the Silver and Black.
"I was in Oakland for such a short period of time that it wasn't really something where I really understood the whole Chiefs-Raiders rivalry," Boss told KCSP-AM in Kansas City, via SportsRadioInterviews.com (http://sportsradiointerviews.com/2012/06/08/kevin-boss-on-going-from-oakland-to-kansas-city-i-just-know-that-im-on-the-better-side-of-that-rivalry/). "I just know now that I'm on the better side of the rivalry. ... It's been a great transition and it's really been a blessing in disguise to have been moved on to greener pastures."
For a man who doesn't claim to understand the nature of this rivalry, Boss exhibits a preternatural knack for irritating the citizens of Oakland. This is promising.
