ESPN is talking about how bad the Chargers are and giving ZERO credit to the Chiefs, a team NO ONE gave a chance, a team that was UNANIMOUSLY picked to lose, a team Peter King predicted a 3-33 loss (only to put the Chargers at #11 in the power 15 today, and Denver at #12 but no Oakland or KC - who are both better than those two teams)...Bill Simmons for the last three weeks has had the Chiefs at #32 in the power rankings...

THESE GUYS DO THIS FOR A LIVING?

**NEWSFLASH**

THE CHIEFS MADE THE PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR, THEY STARTED 0-2 LAST YEAR, THEY WERE BEST WHEN DAMON WAS THEIR QB...THEY IMPROVED THEIR LT (MCINTOSH), THEY IMPROVED THEIR WR'S (BOWE - INSANE)...THEY IMPROVED THEIR DEFENSE (NO MORE BELL/MITCHELL REPLACED BY EDWARDS/HARRIS) POLLARD & PAGE OVER KNIGHT AND WESELY AND THEY FINALLY HAVE A DL ROTATION (ALLEN/HALI/BOONE/EDWARDS/TANK/WILKERSON/MCBRIDE) AND DJ IS PLAYING LIKE THE ALL-PRO HE SHOULD BE (SERIOUSLY, HE'S BEEN OFF THE HOOK)...

Why is this such a surprise to people?

It's insane.

#32 in the power rankings...

**** ESPN

The Chiefs are EASILY the best team in the AFC West...what is their weakness? Right now, it's slow starts, and that can be fixed...

You can't fix Denver's weak pass offense and rush defense, Oakland's QB situation (12 passes, 75 yards???), San Diego's coach...

and most of all...

THE CHIEFS HAVE 6 OF 8 AT ARROWHEAD, AND ALREADY HAVE 1 AFCW ROAD WIN...THAT'S HUGE...

The Chiefs are officially HEAVY favorites to win the West.

I wouldn't bet anything with him Hamas. He still owes me $350 bucks.

As a guy who does occasionally make sports bets, I have one rule: I don't ever bet on teams I root for.

Makes no sense. I am fully aware of my bias for the Chiefs as I am a Chiefs fan.

I know the AFC West well enough to KNOW the Chiefs are the best team in the division right now, hands down.

But what kind of bet would this be if LJ, DJ, Allen, Huard, Bowe, Tony Gonzalez all suddenly got injured?

It's dumb.

You have three teams, I have one, and you want a straight up bet?! Ha!

If the futures were up for division titles the Chiefs would be 10:2 or 6:1 or something...not 1:1, that's absurd.

KCChiefsMan · 10-01-2007, 04:06 PM

they will still pick the Chargers for the next 4 weeks, but when they are 1-7 they will remove their mouths from the Chargers cocks

Aren't the Chiefs in a three-way tie for first place?

If they are the best team in the division, would they not be in first place alone?

Not that I'm a huge Croyle fan, but comparing his draft position with Brady's #199 to show how Croyle can't be Brady is...

No. I'm merely trying to ascertain upon what you based your conclusion that you "KNOW the Chiefs are the best team in the division right now, hands down."

Just because a team isn't in sole position of first place, doesn't mean they can't be the best team in the division.

Most people would argue San Diego is still the best team in the West, and they are in last.

A lot of people think the Ravens are the best team in their division, and the Steelers are in first...

Same with the Bears, Saints, etc...

After four weeks, the Chiefs, to me, are the best team in this division.

1) You said you 'know' that the Chiefs are the best team in the division. That is clearly incorrect.

2) If they were the best team in the division, they would be in first place alone.

Upon what are you basing your opinion? Please be specific. Are the Chiefs just biding their time?

In one day, you've predicted that the Chiefs will win the AFC (and are heavy favorites to do so), and now you've said that they'll be 8-4 through 12 games.

I'll take 2:1 odds that the Chiefs don't win the AFC West.

I'll put up 100 bucks, if they win, you get it, if they don't, you owe me 200 bucks, since they are such heavy favorites and you are the smartest poster on here.

Take the bet, or shut the fuck up.

No doubt that Hootie takes too much of a hard line on the Huard issue IMO. I also would like to see Croyle at Qb but the fact is NOW the job is Huards to lose. I appreciate his optimism and his prediction though bold is better than half the negative BS we see posted from our own so called fans. Your bet against the Chiefs to win the division doesn't suprise me at all.

Hootie · 10-01-2007, 04:28 PM

HE'S A REALIST, HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?!

AND THEN WHEN THE CHIEFS DO WELL, HE CAN BE LIKE, "YAY, I'M A CHIEFS FAN, YAY!"

BUT WHEN THEY DO POORLY, HE CAN BE LIKE "I TOLD YOU SO, I'M MR. SUPER INTELLECTUAL!"

It's a win-win for him (or so he thinks)...

It's like THE MAQ, he builds himself outs so he can think he's never wrong...

I make predictions based off what I actually think, and I have a pretty decent track record...

People like that piece of shit are so negative it's sick.

Ok, so in one day I've gone from abandoning the site whenever we do well, to building myself outs and acting like a fake Chiefs fan. Tomorrow I'll be driving down the Causeway with OJ and his memorabilia.

Dispatch: Who is this

Me: It's motherfucking HJ, goddammit!! I'm the new AC

This is basically what I have learned about ESPN.

1. If you aren't on the east coast, or your team isn't the Indianapolis Colts, they plain and simply do not cover your team unless they have to with MNF or something like that.

2. If you aren't on the east coast, and your team doesn't have a player named Terrell Owens, Peyton Manning, LaDanian Tomlinson, then they will not cover a damn thing about your team.

3. If your team is located in the midwest, sorry folks they wont cover them, with the exception of some Chicago teams in recent years, and the Jordan years (Bulls).

4. If you have a superstar on your team, like for instance we have Larry Johnson. Unless he does something that catches the media's eye, our team won't ever get covered. For example, him holding out was a big story, it even was about a 3rd of a portion of HBO Hard Knocks.

ESPN will cover the bigger markets, no matter how bad they suck. That's just the way it works. The only way ESPN covers a midwestern team is if they do something siginificant in the sports world like winning a Super Bowl from coming out of nowhere (1999 Rams), choking bigtime in the NLCS (2003 Cubs), or winning a World Series, (2006 Cardinals), or Dante Hall's record and the perfect (so-far) Chiefs in 2003 starting 9-0, being the last team to be defeated, and that's really stretching it too.

And quite frankly I could give a flying **** what ESPN thinks.
