Ten Things From Today: The Torture Never Stops - Page 4

**gblowfish** · 12-02-2007, 05:30 PM

Been a long time since I've endured a five game losing streak with the Chiefs. I told my wife today I felt 25 years younger, because today's game experience was like something out of 1982. I've been going to Chiefs games since 1965. I've missed attending maybe a half a dozen home games my whole life. Things are bad, boys. Bad. I haven't felt this bad about the Chiefs since Frank Gansz was head coach.

Here's 10 observations from today:

1) There must have been 15,000 no shows today. Serious empty seats upstairs and in the Gold "Johnson County" section. It was cold, but not terrible cold like snow & ice games. Still, I can't blame people sitting up in the nosebleed section for not showing up. It got colder as the game went on, wind never did stop blowing.

2) Chris Terry is so bad they didn't even dress him today. Last week he got pissed when I called him the human speed bump. This week they started Turley, who's even worse, if that's possible. At least you have to slow down to go over a speed bump.

3) Damon Huard is a pussy. He reminds me of Bill Kenney in the 80's. He comes out for the second half tied up, when things start to go bad, mostly because of his fumbles and picks, he suddenly hurts his hand and can't play. Reminds me of Rodney in Caddyshack "Oooh....my arm, I think it's broken." Then "Pigpen" comes in and gives me another 80's flashback. A), because he's the first Chiefs QB to wear #4 since Steve Fuller and B), because the threw a pick on his second attempt, which reminded me of Steve Fuller. I think Huard will hang it up next year, he just doesn't seem to have the want to anymore.

4) Bennie Sapp wanted to play in the second half. When he came out of the locker room, they hid his helmet. He went to Herm, and Herm just shook his head at him. He was pissed and went back to the locker room, didn't see him again all game.

5) Patrick Surtain and Ty Law are both done. Law had a pick thrown right to him, but couldn't tackle worth spit today. Surtain got burned for a bomb, and the receiver had to wait for the ball because the wind held it up. On a normal day he would have been beat by 20 yards instead of 10. Pathetic pass coverage.

6) If I remember correctly, both of LT's TD runs were on third and inches? How can that happen?

7) Kudos to Jared Allen today. He came off the field limping because he got cut blocked Donkeys style, walked it off, then went in a caught our only TD pass today. Our receiving corps should be mortified. Jared Allen out performed them today. He made a nice catch, too. And I got one of his gloves after the game today. That was the only redeeming quality for sitting out there today for me.

8) We have to find two tackles for next week's game somewhere. McIntosh is gimpy, and basically has been all year. Turley and Terry are awful. Does Svitek even speak English? He looks like an eastern european weight lifter...

9) We should activate our entire practice squad for the rest of the year, and start anybody with three years or less experience. We're not going to learn anything from our vets we don't already know. I'm serious. Bench them all. Play all the new guys the rest of the year. And if Brodie can't play, start Pigpen.

10) King Carl had the gall to play commercials saying "It's not too early to start paying for 2008 season tickets now!" He won't be able to send out a desperation playoff money letter this year. Why in the world would anybody pay any playoff money until the payments were due? It's insulting, and typical, of this clueless, greedy front office.

BTW: Percy Snow's thread "Can the Fans Take Some Blame" is attention whoring at its worst. Nuthooks.

Have a bunch from other years too. These are the ones I got this year.

Thats sweet. How do you get them? Is it a tradition that players hand them out to fans in the stands??

He was hiding in a rolling equipment hamper, I'll bet.

What crawled up your bee-hind tonight? Go find another "Chiefs Suck" thread!

BTW: My cat Baxter read that post, and he's drawing your picture over in the catbox now.

Well, my seats are right above where they go in after the game. I think sports memorabelia guys hire ten year olds who come down and schmooze for stuff. This one kid comes down every week and I overheard him one week telling another kid his dad sells the stuff on EBay. Guess you gotta make a living somehow.

The players used to be really great about throwing gloves and sweat bands and stuff up, now fewer of them do it, because people sell the stuff. Or a player will walk over to the stands and hand it to a particular kid or family, maybe somebody they know.

I just get lucky and get stuff now and then. Sometimes I have to go Samuel L. Jackson on people so they don't claw and paw their way over my wife. That pisses me off...a lot.

She caught one of those little black beanies they wear under the helmet today. Not sure which player it was from.

I'm driving down your street tomorrow in my cat killer. I'm not opposed to driving in yards.

I live in a bad neighborhood, so don't blow a tire on the broken beer bottles in the ditch out front.

I might even hook your trailer up and take the cats for a joy-ride. I'd call in to work sick if I were you.

I'll bet you ripped that glove out of the grasp of an 8 year old little girl.

It was from Kyle Turley. I'm sure you'll treasure it forever.

Nah, I've hit 2 cats in the past week. One was my neighbors. I left the carcass on their front porch. I'm mad with power.

Hammock Parties · 12-02-2007, 09:26 PM

One of these days I'm going to back over one of my neighbor's cats. I never look behind the car when I'm backing out the driveway. Those cats are all over the place and have no regard for our property.

You drive now? Wow. It's a lot harder than it looks. They're quick. You can't drive where they are, you have to drive where they're gonna be.
