Right. I never got a copy I didn't steal when I worked there. What makes you think they'll send me a copy when I don't?

I'm just kidding. I actually have an autographed copy of the Gary Stills cover that hit the stands a month after he got dumped - Nugent gave me that one day.

I am not slandering. I have to ask for the phone number once every month. When out runs out I will be glad!

They put up a bigger fence. It takes the fat ones a little longer now.

I like his size. 6-8 337...Thats pretty huge.

*But this sounds like a prospect to me. im sure the DEs he faced are a far cry from the DEs in the NFL.

My thoughts exactly. They must be easily impressed over there. It would be nice if he panned out but odds are he doesn't even make the final cut. Looks like practice squad fodder to me.

I heard he just got arrested.... He was posing as an 8th grader in Mexico, and he's actually on the sex offender list for hammering donkies...

Great...... another Siavii on the offensive side of the Roster!

I guess it is low risk high reward as I am guessing he signed for just a few peso.

Chiefs go south for talent
Mexican offensive lineman Ramiro Pruneda is expected to sign.

By ELIZABETH MERRILL
The Kansas City Star

It was supposed to be another sleepy offseason afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium, complete with empty offices and bored operators.

Then Ramiro fever hit.

Phones jangled, PR people sighed, and Mexican reporters made plans to fly to Kansas City on Friday, when the Chiefs are expected to sign an unknown offensive lineman who goes by the nickname of “Pencil.” That’s the buzz Ramiro Pruneda has created in his hometown of Monterrey, Mexico, where his followers hope that someday he’ll become just the second nonkicker from their country to play in an NFL game.

“It’s a big deal here,” said Pruneda, who had a bad case of phone ear late Wednesday and admitted his conversations in English are not so good. “All day I have interviews. I go to the TVs, to the radio station. Right now I have like one hour, two hours, to take a breath.”

In Kansas City, Pruneda probably will be viewed as a long-term project. He’s 6 feet 7 and weighs 320 pounds, and his most extensive experience is playing for ITESM College in Monterrey. They called him Pencil because he was roughly 100 pounds lighter when he started college. Pruneda was supposed to play for Cologne in NFL Europe last year but tore his ACL in the first week of camp and missed the season.

But he caught the eye of former Chiefs lineman Tim Grunhard, an assistant for Cologne last year.

“He’s no world beater,” Grunhard said. “But he probably was the best of the NFL Europe players. He probably had the most upside, really, in the whole thing. … Everybody wanted him.

“He has great feet, good hands, great balance. He’s a pretty tall guy, so he’s a decent player.”

Every Sunday as a boy, Pruneda would go to church in the morning, then come home and watch NFL games with his father. He loved Joe Montana and later became a big Tony Gonzalez fan because of his Hispanic roots.

The NFL Network is shown in Mexico.

“We have a great cable system,” Pruneda said.

I usually try to miss the church scene,"thats my bloody-mary time",but I watch NFL on TV..can I get a try-out too....

Direckshun · 01-25-2007, 09:48 AM

Well I do have a lot of faith in Grunhard.

I do love the size of this guy, too.

Of course, I'll need to see him in action, and who knows how he'll hold up. But I like the Chiefs' thinking on this.
