Have you ever had to choose between scratching chalkboards or a root canal? The Chiefs' quarterback situation is sort of like that.
The Kansas City Chiefs are a mess. Their coach claims that their 0-3 start is Part One of a grand rebuilding mode, and he's announced that they'll be starting a new quarterback under center for the fourth consecutive week. Damon Huard gets the nod, and he'll start against a Denver Broncos squad that's undefeated and hungry for their first consecutive win in Arrowhead in 29 years.
Last week's starter, Tyler Thigpen? well, let's just call him "ineffective" and leave it at that. Regular starter (if you can call him that) Brodie Croyle has been sidelined with a separated shoulder he suffered in Week One vs. New England, hoping to return in time for the Chiefs' matchup against also-undefeated Tennessee in mid-October. As a matter of fact, Huard is the only quarterback on the Chiefs' roster who has actually ...

Tony Gonzalez Would Be Open To Trade To Super Bowl Contender
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez said on Wednesday that he would potentially be open to a trade from the Chiefs to a Super Bowl contender. "Yeah. I definitely could [envision the potential for a trade to another team], but I love being a Chief," Gonzalez said. "But if it was something where it was going to take three or four years or whatever before they...
Nalen Done for the Year; Center Place on IR
The Broncos have lost their center, as the team today placed Tom Nalen on IR today, which could also mean the end of his career in Denver. The 37-year-old is in the final year of his deal. He underwent two surgeries on his knee this past summer, and missed the Broncos run to [...]
Edwards Leaning Towards Huard for Sunday at QB
Looks as if Herm Edwards is going to go with Damon Huard as the teams starter Sunday at home vs the 3-0 Broncos.? Edwards said today that he is "leaning" towards Huard, and sitting Tyler Thigpen, who was not very good last week at Atlanta.? Huard started vs the Raiders, and was pulled during the week two 23-8 loss.? In two games Huard has 135 passing yards, 1 TD and two...

September 23, 2008
The New Orleans Saints lost again this past weekend, this time to the Denver Broncos and by just two points. While normally I'd love to pin this one on Martin, mainly because he is more out of place in an NFL uniform than George Plimpton and his celebrations are made more for bowling alleys than football fields, I can't. Once again, the Saints defense - the secondary in...

No Word Yet on Who Will Be Under Center in Week Four
Not that it matters as of this point, but the KC Star says the Chiefs are not sure who exactly will QB the team in their week four game vs Denver this week.? The team is 0-3, and tried rookie Tyler Thigpen this past Sunday vs the Falcons, with little success as they at one point trailed 24-0.? Herm Edwards said today it will either be Thigpen or Damon Huard, who was the starter in...
Huard Gets the Start at QB Sunday vs Denver
In a move that does not come as a shock, the Chiefs will go back to Damon Huard for Sunday's home game vs the Broncos.? Coach Herm said today that the 12th year player gets the nod over Tyler Thigpen, who was mostly ineffective in the teams loss to the Falcons Sunday at the Georgia Dome, throwing three interceptions.? Brodie Croyle is still not an option, as he's looking...
Broncos Vs. Chiefs. 2nd Bye Week for Denver?
It would be easy to look at Denver's last two games and next week's game against a (2-1) Bucs team and see the makings of a trap game as Denver gets set to visit Arrowhead Stadium to face the struggling Chiefs. However, don't count on it. With the Chargers sniffing for an opportunity [...]

ESPN Is Taking A Look Back At The "Fog Bowl" On Sunday Countdown
I wasn't planning on giving you a rundown of Sunday Countdown today, but ESPN actually has a pretty cool piece on the the "Fog Bowl" airing on the program, so I thought I'd highlight it. They also released it ahead of time, and knowing that a lot of you won't even turn on Countdown because of the talking heads involved, I've decided to post the video here...
AND NOW, AS PROMISED, A SPECIAL COMMENT...
by Andrew, The Grand National ChampionshipsBy way of necessary preface, Derek Anderson and his horse balls, and the quarterback's mother, and the quarterback's brother, were of immeasurable support to me at the moments when these very commentaries were the focus of the most surprise, the most uncertainty, and the most anger. My gratitude to them is abiding.Also, I am not...
A NEW CAUSE: BILL MAZEROSKI'S HOME RUN
For the better part of the two-plus years that I've run this site, the case of Ben Roethlisberger has been my biggest cause. But since that seems to finally be behind us (although Mike, Mike, and Mark Schlereth definitively declared Jay Cutler the best QB in the AFC, followed by Philip Rivers), I have something new to turn my attention towards: the continued disrespect of Bill...
