This is the New Year (Part 2 of 4)

by Dylan Tucker

After taking a fairly depressing look back at the Chiefs yesterday, we’re going to delve even deeper into the darkness. Today’s subject? The Kansas City Royals. Ugh.

After two straight years of improvement under GM Dayton Moore, the boys of summer took a huge step back, finishing last in a weak AL Central.

This is the New Year (Part 1 of 4)

by Dylan Tucker

About time, too! Local sports were pretty much a universal disappointment in 2009, and a fresh decade brings a fresh start. In this four part series, we will reflect on the 2009 seasons of the Kansas Jayhawks (football and basketball), Kansas City Royals, and Kansas City Chiefs. We will also delve into the future, and see what we should expect from 2010.

The Wrath of Todd Haley

by Dylan Tucker

I am starting to have serious concerns about the future of the Chiefs. In a stretch of three straight winnable home games, I expected to see an improving Chiefs team. What I’ve seen is “22 guys off the street” that look like they’ve never seen a football before. Who is at the center of all this failure? The head coach. Todd Haley is losing his team, and it’s going to be tough to win them back.

by Dylan Tucker

In the midst of all of the drug-taking, player-poking, bashing tweets, and general disarray surrounding Kansas City and KU sports right now is a small ray of light. Sure, Zack Greinke won the Cy Young yesterday, which I’m not sure everyone is aware of due to all of the day’s other breaking news, but an even bigger award was presented to a KC sports figure.

State Control

by Dylan Tucker

The Kansas Jayhawks didn’t really surprise anybody with their 31-17 defeat at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers last Saturday. It was yet another winnable game that KU let slip through their fingers due to several costly mistakes. A team that once had so much promise continues to spiral downward and leave Jayhawk fans thankful for hoops season. One question remains: where does Kansas football go from here?

Bring on the Great Debacle

By Corban Goble

This Sunday’s Chiefs-Raiders matchup has attracted a lot of media attention. No such thing as bad publicity, right?

Mike Brown Epitomizes What’s Wrong with the Chiefs Regime

by Paul Thompson

Larry Johnson’s been released.  Tank Tyler got traded.  Derrick Johnson may as well be re-filling water jugs at this point, because he’s on the field less frequently than the Chiefs cheerleaders.  Are any of Herm Edwards’ former players worthy of playing in the NFL?
