Chiefs Sales Guy: “Long list of people who will Buy As Soon As Herm And Carl Are No Longer Here.”

// December 5th, 2008 // No Comments » // Thoughts

A message board community for Chiefs fans had a great thread showing a conversation between someone working in sales at the Chiefs (poor guy) and a potential ticket buyer.

The Chiefs fan got an e-mail talking about how there were still tickets left for the two remaining home games this year and that this was a good time to reserve season tickets for next year. He replied that he should be put down for tickets when Herm and Carl are fired…the sales person said verbatim “I have a long list of people who will buy as soon as Herm and Carl are no longer here.”

This is where we are right now with the Chiefs. Pretty amazing. Source info via Chiefs Planet. Feel free to check out the actual e-mail conversation (with the names changed to protect the innocent) after the jump.

Want To Play Safety For The Chiefs? Can You Dance?

// April 30th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Thoughts

There seems to be something in the water if you are a safety for the Kansas City Chiefs. It started last year on HBO’s show “Hard Knocks” getting a clip of Benard Pollard dancing while players were goofing around in the locker room. Then last week the Chiefs drafted S DaJuan Morgan out of NC State in the 3d round. After running across a post game clip of him on YouTube it seems as though he will carry on the new tradition that is forming at Arrowhead. Jarad Page and Greg Wesley need to get to work. Thanks to Clayton for the video editing.

Chiefs Select Glenn Dorsey With The 5th Pick…

// April 26th, 2008 // No Comments » // Thoughts

Chiefs select the dominant DT from LSU with the 5th pick in the draft. The Chiefs almost pulled the trigger on trading down for even more picks but decided to go with Dorsey in hopes of a big presence in the middle. Really looking forward to the freedom this player will give to our linebackers to do their jobs.

Dorsey is a high-character guy who is a coach’s dream. He puts the interests of the team above his own personal concerns and is all about winning. He’s compact, strong, and lightning quick. It often seems as if he’s moving before the center snaps the ball. Against the run, he’s a true plugger, taking up two blockers consistently and erasing holes for the ball-carrier. He’s able to stay low and create power from his legs and use his long arms (35″+) effectively to keep blockers at bay. He moves well laterally and can get down the line in pursuit. As a pass-rusher, Dorsey’s quickness allows him to penetrate the gaps and his strength allows him to overpower the offensive linemen. There are very few NFL blockers currently that could handle Dorsey one-on-one. Dorsey is a team leader, both vocally and demonstrably. He played through pain his senior season and even maintained a positive perspective in the days leading up to the draft when rumors were floated regarding a “clandestine” knee surgery that never occurred. He’s going to be an asset in the community for whichever franchise is fortunate enough to draft him.

If you are looking for one of those little symbols that denotes a “national TV game” you won’t find any because the Chiefs won’t have a single one this year unless they are “flexed” into it. Even with the potential problems the Chiefs will have this year the ‘08 schedule is pretty easy. We have a buzzsaw starting off against the Patriots at their house but @Falcons @Jets @Bengals? Not too bad. I don’t think there are a weaker 3 divisions you could be matched up with. Our own in the AFC West is looking shaky, our AFC match up in the AFC East and the NFC South don’t really scare me that much.
