As good as it gets



Sorry folks, the early part of the Chiefs season is as good as it gets. Anybody who has lived in this town for more than five minutes knows that the Chiefs fall apart during the last eight games of the season. It’s been more than a decade since the Chiefs have won a playoff game. I’m afraid that last night’s embarrassing Monday Night loss is a signal that the season is coming to an early and disappointing close. Really, the Chiefs got slapped around worse than one of their blonde girlfriends at a local bar.

Sure, you can still wear your jersey and root for the home team but, just like your marriage . . . you’re bound to be disappointed.

I could give you all kinds of reasons why but you still wouldn’t believe me. I could blame it on the small media market, crumbling stadium, strategy to move to JoCo, etc., etc. But it’s no use talking a fool out of their foolishness.

So I’ll just make a note of this:

Did anybody else observe the disaster that was Trent Green’s performance last night? I wondered if Denver was in negotiations to pick up his contract but then I noticed that the Broncos already have a decent quarterback. Put simply, only three words came to mind when watching Green play:

Panicky, weak and inaccurate.

It’s a shame that KC is the only NFL town that values a winning smile and the ability to sell trucks more than winning from their quarterback.
