You forgot to mention leg-whipping, and smearing Jerseys with Vaseline during cold weather games...all courtesy of a line coach by the name of Alex Gibbs.Quote:

In Joe Phillips' book, "Chief Injustice" he made a quick mention of Alex Gibbs, but then followed up with "...but I don't think Marty let him get away with that stuff in KC.."Quote:

Personally I hope KC doesn't buy into the hype, and stays under the radar. Screw ESPN. Chris Berman or Tom Jackson's blessing won't make any team run faster, tackle better or catch passes. They gotta do that on their own. Chiefs coverage on Metro Sports does a better job anyway.
You are looking at the wrong stats. These are the stats that matter:Quote:

Those two stats have nothing to with yards gained or allowed. They are a direct result of these stats:
Points per game: 23.7
Points allowed per game: 11.3
Those stats are heavily influenced by these stats:
Takeaways: 9
Giveaways: 0
The Bears beat the Steelers tonight 40-23. The Bears had 258 yds (151 passing); the Steelers had 459 yds (379 passing). Which team would you rather be; the 0-3 Steelers with all the yards or the 3-0 Bears with all the points?
EXACTLY! Back before live streaming and the NFL Sunday Ticket, being an out of area Chiefs fan meant you were largely limited in knowing what happened to the Chiefs to a few highlights during other games and at halftime on Monday night and to looking at the stats in Monday's paper. Can't being to say how many times we won all the stats and still lost the game. Your example of the Bears-Pittsburg game is a perfect example. The Steelers got all the stats and still lost.Quote:

hahahahahaha, espn has been **** for years. And stop with the media loves them stuff, they get more money and ratings from manning and the broncos then they do alex smith and the chiefs. Facts don't matter anymore, it's all about ratings, its the reason why when tebow does anything, they'll report it, it's why when the baseball playoff race is heating up (go braves!) they still talk about football in the early weeks of the season (college and NFL), It's the reason why big market cities (Dallas, NY, Chi.) get more coverage and have their own espn page over small market teams. Also teams that are consistent and win playoff games and titles will get more talk. The sooner you learn this and get over it the better. Besides, i don't want the media to talk about us, then all the bandwagon fans will jump on.
And the broncos super bowls in 97 and 98.......i'm over it, it was about 15 years ago. KC just needs to win some.
The video of Reid and Sal Pal at the end of the game pretty much tells how much the Chiefs give a damn what ESPN does. I enjoyed that almost as much as the final score, props to Andy on that.
"Keep walking this palimino guy doesn't matter" Andy Reid
I'm fine with the lack of respect, it just serves to fuel our fire.
+56 differential will do that, just sayin' ;)
