I had breakfast with Brian Billick this morning

[KCJohnny]

Coach Billick, Randy Cross, Spencer Tillman and Ron Barr were here today for the troops in Baghdad. I had no idea. I went into the mess area for my morning coffee/eggs and there was a guy who looked like Brian Billick. It was Brian Billick. Being the shy hermit I am, I gushed, "can I sit down with you guys?".

Unfortunately, the conversation was all about how they are investing their millions and how brave they are to invest in this or that stock. (Zzzzzzzzz.....). Cross is clearly not a morning person but he's a regular Joe. Billick spoke very highly of Herm and said we had a great future with him. Tillman was gracious and polite, and of all of them, seemed the most concerned about the troops.

Then I had lunch with Barr ( a blowhard) of Byline Sports. He's pretty full of himself. He's supposed to be there for the troops and he turns to the nice Muslim lady at our table and points at me and says, "see what I put up with on my radio show?" (the subject was Chiefs QBs...you can imagine!). He blathered on about how hopeless the QB situation is in KC and totally dissed both Brodie and Huard. Then he crowed on about how he doesn't need listeners/fans because of his massive XM contracts, blah blah... So I got up and left. He did say Herm was a very good coach and that in 2-3 years the Chiefs would be in the hunt. He pissed on Gonzo, Brodie, Huard, etc... but admitted Bowe was a gamer. He said Chan will make no difference at all until we get better players.



All in all a wierd day in Baghdad that ended yesterday with rocket attacks on Camp Victory. Oh, and I walked into the lobby of the Base Camp lodging center and who's sitting there in his Air Force uniform? Colonel (Senator) Lindsay Graham, R-SC. I don't know who I am going to run into next - I'm fairly certain it won't be Saddam!
