Chiefs Rivalry

**notorious** · 09-15-2009, 10:34 AM

Marty, Gunther, and Vermiel were very adamant about really kicking the Raiders' asses. From what I understand, the intensity in practice was elevated several levels during this week.

Will Haley bring back that hatred for our old Rivals, or is that kind of stuff just for the fans?

I don't think Vermeil made it nearly as big a deal as Marty did.

I agree. To Vermeil it was just another game. Marty took it personally. Gunther just yells at anything - squirrels, chairs, autistic children, he doesn't care.

Yep. Marty hated them, as somebody mentioned, from his days in AFL Buffalo.

Yep, he said it. Haley's dad worked for the Steelers in the 70's and kid Haley spent alot of time around that team. The Raiders were one of the teams they routinely had to battle with for AFC supremacy, so it's easy to understand why he might hate them.

I sure hope so. Herm didn't seem to give a shit and it made me sick to my stomach.

I think Haley's disdain and anger is elevated every week.

Having JaMarcus, Bowe, Dorsey, and Jackson hug it out on our Arrowhead before the game might confuse some people.

As soon as some one takes a cheap shot.

CoMoChief · 09-15-2009, 10:45 AM

Marty also hated the Raiders going back from his playing days in the AFL.

So beating them probably meant more to him than most recent KC coaches. That and the Raiders now aren't the bad cheap shot, dirty, law breaking Raiders that we've seen in the past. With ESPN 24/7, cameras everywhere during games, NFL suspension happy commissioners and paparazzi everwhere 24/7....that kinda behavior and mentality has probably regressed over the years.

Vrabel, Castle and Seymour will share a memory or two before the game also.

Cassel: Hey remember that time I failed to lead the Patriots to the playoffs?

Seymour: Oh Yeah. Weren't we 16-0 the year before?
