Owner Clark Hunt ‘very excited’ by what he’s seen from new-look Chiefs
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
Clark Hunt has never been one for bold predictions, and even if he was, last year’s disaster involving the Chiefs might have been enough to make him change his ways.

So the Chiefs’ chairman, who watched minicamp practice Tuesday and answered media questions afterward, wasn’t necessarily predicting a Super Bowl in their first season under general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid. But he was surprisingly upbeat for his outlook on a team that won just two games last season and wound up with the first pick in the NFL Draft.

“I always have high expectations, but you try to temper those expectations,” Hunt said. “We do have a new staff. We have a lot of new players. I don’t know how quickly it will come together once we get to September. But I’m very excited about what I’ve seen this spring.

“I wouldn’t use the term ‘rebuilding.’ We came into 2013 with a lot of talented football players on the team. John Dorsey has done a great job of adding some people who I think will help us both this year and down the road. And then obviously Andy and his coaching staff have done a tremendous job with them.”

Tuesday’s practice was not the first Hunt had witnessed this year. While it’s not been unusual for Hunt to attend practice since taking over as chairman from his father, Lamar, several years ago, he said after firing coach Romeo Crennel at the end of last season that he planned to be more involved with the Chiefs.

So far he has, at least publicly.

“I am trying to be around the team more,” Hunt said when asked about his appearance at practice. “Definitely that’s part of it. But a big part of it is just my excitement as a fan just wanting to see Andy and his staff coaching the team.

“It’s been so exciting this spring to see the guys progress. Even two weeks ago, I thought the practice was great but you move to today in the minicamp we’re in and you can see the guys are really picking it up. You can feel the excitement in the building, not only when the guys are on the practice field but when they’re in the meeting rooms as well.”

Reid has been hands-on at practice working mainly with the offense. He hasn’t been shy about interrupting practice to make a correction or get after a player for a lack of effort.

That’s one of the things Hunt was curious about. Before hiring his new coach, Hunt was concerned whether Reid still had the passion for coaching after 14 seasons coaching the Philadelphia Eagles.

“One of the things he mentioned to me during our interview back in January was how excited he was to get back to coaching,” Hunt said. “He had worked his way out of coaching and had become a manager with the Eagles and he wanted to get back on the field and working primarily with the offense. It’s been fun to see him do that. Watching him on the field and watching him work with the players, I think that confidence is rubbing off on them.”

Perhaps taking their cue from Hunt, the Chiefs don’t appear to be approaching this season as a rebuilding year even with a new general manager, coaching staff, offensive and defensive systems and several new players.

“I think every football player and every coach is going to tell you you’re going to try to win every game,” Reid said. “That’s the way you’d better practice and then when you get to training camp you’d better practice that way and when you go out to play you’d better play that way.”

Linebacker Derrick Johnson, who along with punter Dustin Colquitt is the longest tenured Chiefs player, has been with the Chiefs through more dismal seasons than just 2012. But he learned quickly those seasons wouldn’t be allowed as an excuse for failure in 2013.

“Andy Reid put a standard on us when he first walked into the meeting room,” Johnson said. “It’s to win a championship and it you’re playing for anything else, you’re not doing justice to the game.

“You never look at it as a rebuilding year. That’s college talk. You always reload.”

We got JC they have Maurice Jones Drew who I think is the most over rated RB in the league.

If we lose our first game this season is doomed.

A nice matchup to start out with.

But as i said all offseason, I think Gus Bradley was one hell of a sleeper coach. I think Jacksonville's defense is going to pretty decent this year.

Guess it's never to early to start making excuses.

Clark Hunt can go right ahead and eat his own dick.

The guy has produced for a long time on a bad team, so he can't be over rated. I just think he's boring is all.

I do not believe that MJD is overrated, but I do find it irritating when discussion of the best RBs in the league come up, MJD is brought into the discussion before Charles, if Charles is mentioned at all.

Discussion of the best should start with Adrian Peterson and Charles, and everyone else should follow.

Chiefs Fans not Excited by Teicher Article
"Ever."

By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star

Kansas City, MO

It's no secret the Kansas City Chiefs play in Kansas City. What may be less well known is that Kansas City is also home to fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. While these facts might be common knowledge to most little-more-than-casual football fans, only the league die-hards know that the Kansas City Chiefs are written about on a daily basis by a reporter named Adam Teicher at the Kansas City Star, specifically in the sports section, which covers sports such as football, the sport that the Kansas City Chiefs compete in in Kansas City.

"There is a newspaper called the Kansas City Star," said Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, "and (Adam Teicher) writes about (The Kansas City Chiefs). That's about all we know now."

While those words may not be inspiring to the local fans, many league insiders acknowledge that Teicher has indeed written about the Chiefs on a somewhat daily basis. Still, excitement seems hard to come by for most Chiefs fans.

"Yeah, I read (Adam Teicher's articles)," said one Chiefs fan. "I can't tell you I've ever enjoyed a single one, though. It's more like something you do in the morning to pass the time while you're taking a growler."

Other fans seem to be in sync with the idea that these articles aren't exciting at all. One fan, Ryan Ryerson, of Overland Park, concurred that he has never enjoyed a Teicher Chiefs article.

"It's like a continental breakfast at a Days Inn. I mean, you'll eat it, because it's there. Then you just kind of sit there thinking 'why'd I waste my time with that?'" Ryerson added that he often refuses to read the article when it comes out, yet somehow ends up glancing at it later "out of sheer boredom."

Despite the articles using many exciting buzzwords like "Chiefs," "Exciting," and "excited," the prevailing wisdom around Kansas City is that the Kansas City Chiefs articles are like a strip tease from fat, ugly woman.

"There's the underlying idea of sex, or in this case football," said Ryerson, "but it's a paper tiger. There's no substance. Certainly nothing I'm interested in."

So where are they getting their Chiefs news? What is exciting to these fans? Many national football league insiders point to the website Chiefsplanet.com, where humor, insight, statistical analysis, logic, and just general not-being-worthless-as-a-limp-pig-dick-ness allow for Chiefs articles and discussion that dwarf any Adam Teicher article.

"I mean, it's not like Chiefsplanet is brilliant football writing," remarked one fan. "Half the time it's just two idiots arguing for three hundred pages about guns until someone says to die in a flaming aids tree. But if Teicher's articles are an ugly stripper, then Chiefsplanet is Kate Goddamn Upton."

"Too fat," said Omaha.

No word on who Omaha is or how he got into this article. I'd report on it, but that might be too exciting.

It might look that way but we know she's empty inside. It's like biting into an empty hollow jelly donut.
