Was this off season more fun than last?

58Forever · 04-25-2001, 08:00 AM

Let's see last year all we could talk about was Corey Dillon...

I'd say with all the wheelings and dealings and ****ing with the Rams...getting Green, Holmes, Horne, losing Grbac, McGlockton, Hasty...

This off season gave us much more to argue about...and not many rumors...I am psyched...I'm not ready for the Summer to be over, but I'm ready for some football....:cool:

Definitely and infinitely more fun, in my humble estimation. ;)

TeenagerFromMars · 04-25-2001, 08:25 AM

If change in personnel = fun, then yes!! It could have been more "fun" IMO, but I've enjoyed the ride. Depending on how these changes pan out over the next few seasons, this offseason could be the subject of debate for years to come. Not that we've ever had a problem finding issues to debate or anything...

58Forever · 04-25-2001, 08:33 AM

Mars Man, see, you missed last year when all we talked about was Corey Dillon...believe me it was pretty boring...

See the personnel changes, the new coaching staff is what made it fun...

Elvis has left the Building...and Green is in Red and Gold...We have a Priest to bless the backfield...and a Horne to blow everytime we receive a kickoff...a Snoop to check out the secondary and...well, you get the idea...:D

Let's see, nobody has died, nobody arrested for drugs and there is no longer a Schottenheimer in the Chiefs orginization.

Seems to be some change for the better.

there wasn't any band width to type Dillon's name with all of the Ewes talk.....

I'm warming to the Green trade...but am still about "ram'd out"......(thats tired of talking about the rams for you fella's that are light in the loafers....)

Since Morph brought it up, and Im right smack in the middle of Redskins country, I thought I'd fill you in on the locals trying to figure out Marty Speak...

In the pre-draft press conference, Marty was asked about how they would use their mere 4 picks in the draft this year. His response was classic Marty. I quote:

[i]With our four picks, we have the opportunity to get four guys who can be on our team[/i]

Good ol' Marty...

When asked how he would go with his first pick, there was speculation about whether or not he would draft a WR - this years draft was deep in WR's- the reporter noted that he had never drafted a WR with his first pick ever before. Marty's response was that he had never really thought about it.

Marty was then asked about drafting an OG with his pick in the first round and I laughed my a$$ off when I read this response:

[i]Traditionally, we've not really wanted to draft offensive linemen in the first round[/i]

After the draft, the local sports reporter was scratching his head about Marty saying one thing and then doing another....Here's and excerpt of the article:

..."Before and during the draft, Schottenheimer said he had allways been an advocate of the 'take the best athlete available' theory of drafting. But under the present free agent and salary-cap system, Schottenheimer said, teams can't afford to wait three or four years to see if someone can play.

Then, Schottenheimer spent the second day of the draft taking 'project' players."...

**ExtremeChief** · 04-25-2001, 09:13 AM

but it was definately intriguing and interesting...more than normal for our beloved Chiefs.

nice to see the news be about us for once...

58Forever · 04-25-2001, 09:30 AM

Titus, that is classic Marty...no wonder Gun talked the way he did...he learned from Marty...:D

Packfan · 04-25-2001, 09:43 AM

You mean trading your 12th pick for a backup QB and your 2nd round pick for a coach was "fun"?? I thought it was kind of painful.

"with the 12th pick in the NFL draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select........ a career backup QB who was an UFA a few years ago"

"with their second round pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select, Dick Vermeil, 67 years old and a recently burned out head coach"

You guys call that "fun"??

The rest of us enjoyed seeing our teams participate in the draft.

I wonder if Joe Theisman realizes he is increasing the aging process of his skin by going to tanning booths.

Thoughts???

He is perfecting that George Hamilton-leather face look. He hopes to one day be skinned, tanned and mounted in the HOF.

Well, Peckerfan, I'm sure this offseason has been more "fun" than having 19 seasons of .500 or worse since 1970.

I'm sure it's been more "fun" than going 25 years without a playoff win. How's that new streak going, by the way? Three years is it?

I guess the folks in Green Bay are content with winning a championship every 30 years. Let's see, 1930's? Check. 1960's? Check? 1990's check.

Come back in about 2020, you might be a winner again by then.
