Chiefs not wasting time

The Chiefs appear to be the most active during the first wave of Black Monday coaching interview calls. They made contact with Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, and Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Fassel. They will have to wait until next week to talk to Williams because the Redskins are playing on Saturday. Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders is going to get an interview and is expected to finish in the final three. There is still the possibility team president Carl Peterson might go after Herman Edwards -- the Chiefs reportedly plan to contact the Jets for permission to speak with Edwards -- but, because of tampering rules, Edwards might have to work out a trade compensation arrangement with the Jets if he were to accept a Kansas City offer.

Saunders definitely isn't on my short list of prefered choices but with the thoughts of giving up draft picks to bring in Herm floating about it would seem like an extra Christmas gift by comparison.

I think that LJ thing is behind us. I bet you AS IS an LJ fan now. God knows he gave him the ball enough times.
