Well I'm sure everyone saw the nightmare on MNF last week. Believe me, it was even more horrible to play in. But as important as it was with any dark moment, we learned from it and bounced back with a win against Kansas City at Arrowhead on Sunday. We especially had a chip on our shoulder in the back end as well as our front seven. And the offense definitely had the same as they amassed 300 yards rushing with our two young bucks leading the way! Now it's on to Buffalo for another must-win so we can stay afloat in this AFC West race. Last week was probably one of the toughest weeks I've ever had after a game. Losing a game is one thing but to play the way we did is what causes lots of sleepless nights. And with all the added stress from Hurricane Ike didn't make things easier. I'm happy my family is okay and I hope all is well for anyone else that was caught in the middle of the storm. It really puts things in perspective on what's important in life. But luckily it was a rather short week as we were able to get back to business before it drove me literally insane. So I just want to say have "no fear" Black Hole, we not gone let the nation down!! I know it's been awhile since I've posted so why don't ya''ll let me know what's been new in the outside world....

Well camp's out finally....thank God!! Lol. Hard to believe, but we're already halfway thru the preseason. Pretty soon we'll be suiting up on MNF against Denver. We really dropped the ball against the Titans last nite. Even though it's preseason you still want to win the game whenever you can. But in the meantime we'll continue to practice and work hard in these last two games. But most importantly we need to all come out healthy. Some teams are already suffering significant injuries. And we need to avoid that at all costs. But enough football talk. I don't want to bore ya'll half to death. I feel like I been out of the loop for a minute. Tell me what some of ya'll been doing the past month I been in hiding....LOL

Is it me or has this last week of TV been pretty boring since the NBA Finals ended? The lakers gave it a good try. I kinda wanted to see them pull it out but KG, Ray and Pierce deserved it more. Well last week we finished up the last of our OTA's (thank god). I swear we had to have been the last team to finish cause all my other friends around the league have already started their vacations. Still haven't decided on where I'm goin just yet. Not picky. Just need anything that'll get me some rest and relaxation cause training camp will be tough. And you know that's followed by 16 tough "battles". And hopefully a few after that (if you know what I'm sayin'). Cause this year it seems, even more than in years past, that we all have things to prove as a team and individually. But as my dad always taught me, the cream will rise to the top. And above all else...respect is earned, not given. So we gotta go take it cause they damn sure won't hand it to us. Will it be hard? Probably. Can it be done? Ain't a doubt in my mind...Believe that!! Well I'm bout to kick back and put my feet up and enjoy this off time before I head back to work again so it's gonna be a good lil' minute before I post an article again. But I'll at least be near a computer so don't be afraid to reply cause I'm still gonna be able to get back at ya'll. Peace! Stay cool in the hot sun....LOL

Just got finished with our mandatory mini-camp. Things went pretty well. Everybody was there that could be there. We got alot of expectations this year (and alot of nay-sayers) so we definitely got to bring it!! I think this year will be completely different but I guess we just have to wait and see. It seems like just yesterday it was the Super Bowl and now the '08 season is right around the corner. Can't wait!!! Plus I need something to keep me outta trouble. LOL!! Other than that, all seems to be goin good on my end. How is everything goin with ya'll???
