Football is back...wepa!!

There's nothing like football to make a grown man like myself jump for joy.



I'm a die hard Kansas City Chiefs fan since the Christian Okoye days, and I'm hoping the defense steps up to win some games this year. Larry Johnson is going to have a tough time with the weakening offensive line, so the D needs to limit the points it gives up. Def Coordinator Gunther Cunningham is lunatic (something all D.C.s should be) and has improved K.C. through the years. I'm not a fan of Herman Edwards the coach. As a motivational speaker, he's great, but that's not helping his clock management nor those tough decisions under pressure. I'm hoping for a 9-7 record so they can barely capture a wild card spot and then lose to Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs. Hell, if I'm going to make a prediction, I'm going balls out...

This is going to be my first time in about seven years that I won't be able to see the Chiefs play in the comfort of my parents home. They're switching from DirecTV to cable, and Sunday Ticket is not available on cable. I don't get that...you can get MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA Football, and even MLS packages on cable...I need me my football!! My landlady won't let me install a dish, so I'm shit out of luck. Hooters and/or Buffalo Wild Wings, here I come!!

One great thing to look forward to this season, is that I'm going to my first NFL game ever. The Chiefs are coming to town in October, so it'll be great to see Favre throw a few maverick interceptions to Patrick Surtain live and in person.

This will not be my first pro-football game, though. I did catch a few NY/NJ Hitmen games during the only XFL season. I'm not biased because I'm a WWE fan, but I must say the XFL should have a been given a chance to develop. It was tons of fun at the games, and the football wasn't as bad as the elitists at ESPN would paint it to the masses. How great was it when a player or a couch would fuck up, only to sideline reporter in his face asking him what happened on the spot? The NFL did bite the overhead wire cam, even though they'll never admit it. The strippers posing as cheerleaders was also a nice touch.

XFL was great to develop young guys, and now that NFL Europe is gone, it would have been an even greater asset. Somewhere in my parent's attic there is an old Birmingham Fire hat and Barcelona Dragons pennant when the NFLE was known as the World League of American Football.

Here's a video of the top ten K.C. Chiefs plays according to the NFL Network...
