It raised some eyebrows when backup quarterback Tyler Palko entered Sunday's game for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos during the fourth quarter, trailing 17-10. It turns out the move to take out starter Matt Cassel wasn't made to spark the Chiefs' offense. Coach Todd Haley told reporters after the game Cassel was injured, prompting the switch to Palko with the game within reach with less than two minutes remaining. "Matt was unable to go," Haley said. "He was beat up there at the end, I will let you know later in the week." As for the mystery injury, Cassel also wouldn't provide any details during his postgame news conference. He said he wanted to go back in, but was told by the team's medical staff he could not return. "I don't want to get into specifics, but yes, I couldn't go back into the game," Cassel said.

With all due respect to summer humidity, highway potholes and the Kansas City school district, Matt Cassel is our town's favorite complaint. Even Dan Beebe agrees with this. Some of it Cassel comes by honestly, you know. He isn't all that talented. His reads are often slow, just like his feet. He's suspect on deep throws, and his group interviews are usually as entertaining...
