Chiefs Planet is Wrongly Titled - Page 11

KCJohnny · 08-13-2008, 08:26 AM

I come here for football discussion. This is the best Chiefs site online when actual Chiefs football is talked about.
As of this posting only 3 of the 25 page one discussions that are not stickys are about Chiefs football. I can tolerate the NFTs during the offseason, but now that the NFL football season is officially underway, I am a bit weary of all the exchanges about dating, dogs, dating dogs, etc...

I know Chiefs fans have a life besides the Chiefs (don't they?) but sometimes I wonder if the Chiefs are as beloved by all as they are by some.

Big Kudos to you guys that keep the relevant NFL/Chiefs discussion going here. Thanks for the spirited football discussion and great knowledge, links, pics, video, etc... your football opinions/analysis is greatly appreciated by KCJ.
GO CHIEFS!

Perhaps it's not fair to judge this against Band of Brothers. Maybe the episodes I haven't seen yet are better. I just don't care for it.

Yeah, I can see that. Simon likes to drop you right in without exposition. There's the characters, then figuring out the heirarchy and the jargon.
I guess I've really come to like that type of TV, though.

I very much preferred John Adams.

Thats probably because of relatability to that character...

I really enjoyed John Adams, but with it being the summer doldrums, I'm actively jonzing come time for the next GK.

I really like that this show is 'documenting' a group of guys who are highly skilled, highly motivated, and very determined. Seeing how a 'finely tuned Ferrari' adapts to a demolition derby.
Seeing how distractions and situations are handled by these guys is a window we don't get in the more mainstream 'poor Jimmy from Mississippi, dropped into hell' portrayal of battle.
Very interesting to see Fick, who got effed over when he passed the ROE to his command with a bad result, suck it up and realize that morale takes precedence over his own ego and arguably go overboard to quash any naysaying of command.

Whew!

I feel lots better. Thanks for listening, guys.

Its just jealousy because Eva Longoria wrote her name on your larger than usual manhood with her tongue.

Hey, at least they(we?) are talking about you!

I don't subscribe to the idea that the military is some how a better class of person than non military, however, I do respect them and apreciate what they do for our country. So, thank you, Kcjohnny, for your service, and f*** you for your shitty attitude. I will pay, the slimmer
Clayton to kick your ass when you return.

Beat that.

I hit a squirrel square between the eyes with a fruit wheat from about 10 yards.

Done.

Once writing briefs with 4 other interns in the library at work when I was an intern back in Law School, I noted a 1/4" gap between books on the shelf at the back of the library. Grabbed a rubber band, hollered 'Lookit this' and proceeded to sling that effer right into that gap from about 15 yards.

Should've put money on it.
