It seems there are a lot of ups and downs with the teams I follow lately. Here is what is going on in the sports world.

Kansas City Chiefs - The Chiefs absolutely knocked this one out of the park. It is going to be great to see our linebackers go to work with the freedom this defensive line will give them. They got the offensive lineman they wanted and also made some strong second day picks including Brendon Flowers who I am really excited about. Getting a blocking tight end to replace the absence of Dunn is a great move as well. More info on the draft and the undrafted free agent signings be sure to check out Arrowhead Pride.

Kansas City Royals - Royals rebound after that terrible 7 game skid. After that bad losing streak I will refer to Meatloaf’s opinion about getting 2 out of 3 games. Hopefully the bats can wake up as we start to move into May. Aside from that, what is up with powder blue jerseys matched with the white pants? It is really bad. If you are going to go powder blue then go powder blue. Blech.

Kansas City Wizards - The Wizards don’t seem to deal with first place very well. They seem to lose every time they jump into the top spot in the conference. They are still playing great soccer in a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference. Next game is May 3rd @ Columbus.

Kansas City Brigade - They finally won. The Brigade actually won a game. When time expired in their game on April 21st the Brigade had more points than the Crush did. Wow.

Chelsea FC - From the bottoms of a small league to the tops of a big league Chelsea won a HUGE game against Manchester United to pull even with Man U at the top of the Premiership. The Blues were back 8 points two weeks ago but now have a shot at the title with 2 games left to go.

I have been big into soccer for a few years, starting in high school. As time goes on I get into it more and more. Foxs Soccer Channel is part of our cable package at my house in Kansas City, thank god they do sports better than they do news. There is interesting stuff on FSC all the time. International games, US National team games, MLS, English Premiership, Italian Serie A, German Bundislgia, the list goes on and on. Wizards season starts up soon and I will be doing what I can to catch a lot of games even with the stadium farther away. It seems I will even be getting to take some pictures for the club here and there.

This week was exciting with the English Premiere League winding down. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 to keep themselves in the title hunt and set up for an eventual showdown with Manchester United who beat Liverpool 3-0. Below are a few video clips from these games. The first one shows Chelsea getting the equalizer from Drogba. The strange places these clips come from is almost as enjoyable as the soccer. On top of the hilarious excitement of the commentators you get to see the most constipated looking man in the world in Chelsea’s manager Avram Grant. I am not a Manchester United fan but the second clip shows the celebration after Nani put ManU’s third goal of the day in. The fans in the background make the video so cool to watch. Great shot.
