Over the weekend the Herminator was Terminated by Scott Pioli. It was kind of a joke that when Pioli was hired he stated that it wasn't a formality that Herman Edwards was fired. I guess 99.99% is not a formality in Pioli's eyes. Regardless the Herminator shall be unemployed for at least a little bit and perhaps may never get another head coaching job. But is the Herminator really a bad coach?His record in Kansas City was atrocious. He only won 6 games the past 2 seasons. He looks like an absolutely horrid coach right now, but his quarterbacks were Tyler Thigpen, Damon Huard and Brody Croyle the past two years. Can you possibly assemble a shittier trio (Lions fans will probably argue yes)? In 8 years of coaching the Herminator has led his team to the playoffs 4 times. That's actually pretty good. Sure he never went far in the playoffs, but if Doug Brien could kick a god damn field goal they would have been in the AFC title game and then who knows (they would have...

One Big Hit AwayNo politics here, but you know how some folks seem mildly concerned by the notion that one Sarah Palin could be a "heartbeat away" from the presidency? I thought that was a pretty good metaphor for how Chiefs fans must be filling this week as they prep for the J-E-T-S to come to Arrowhead. Why? Because the Chiefs are one hit away from Ingle Martin IV stepping...

While the Jets didn't make it easy, they were able to escape Sunday afternoon with a hard fought 28-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at the Meadowlands.
