And for that, we give a hearty “Thank you,” Minnesota.  Jared Allen has moved on to greener pastures (and a much, much fatter wallet) after the Vikings struck a deal with KC for three 2008 draft picks.  They gave Kansas City the 17th overall selection, as well as their two third rounders (with one of […]

I’ve been hearing buzz about Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen for quite awhile… namely, the type of buzz that would see Allen leaving KC in a trade for draft picks. I didn’t really buy into it at the time, but today’s news is the type that’s hard to ignore. Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com […]

…He’s not Herm Edwards. Just read what the Old Quotable said after finding out his Chiefs lost the three-way coin flip between them, Atlanta, and Oakland: “I didn’t want a chance to flip,” Edwards said. “I wanted to be five. That was a good number for us. Five is good. I just felt all along […]

The AFC West sure isn’t what it used to be. [Denver Post] Pedro Taylor, father of Sean Taylor, is at the Pro Bowl this week, and wants to get in touch with the family of Darrent Williams. [Denver Post] Part of me really agrees with Herc here. The other part of me just doesn’t want […]

The books are out. The odds for each team to win Super Bowl XLIII in 2009 in Tampa, FL have been set, and, not surprisingly, the Patriots are the favorites. New England’s set at 3:1 odds to come away with next year’s Lombardi Trophy, with our rival San Diego Chargers coming in second at 11:2 […]

With a 51-14 trouncing of the Detroit Lions, the San Diego Chargers won the AFC West for the second straight year and for the third time in four years. The Chargers are 9-5 and tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns in the AFC in the suddenly hot race for the third seed. The […]

Yes, Broncos fans. The Lions beating the Chargers this week won’t help us. All our hopes for the AFC West rests on the Raiders beating the Chargers in Oakland in Week 17. The Chargers are sitting pretty at 8-5 and in control of their own destiny. With three games remaining (Detroit, Denver, at Oakland), and […]

The Chargers, Chiefs, and Raiders all lost their respective games early today, giving the Broncos a prime opportunity to take advantage.  With a win tomorrow night against the Titans, the Broncos would be tied at 5-5 atop the division with San Diego. It’s almost too good to be true, but the Broncos need to take […]

A rare Adam Vinatieri failed game-winner sent the Colts home with a loss for the second straight week as San Diego (5-4) upset Indianapolis (7-2) on Sunday Night. The Bolts now hold sole possession of the AFC West by one game, above both the Broncos (4-5) and Chiefs (4-5).  Many had speculated that a Broncos […]

The 2007 AFC West has been disappointing to say the least. The three teams at the top all had hopes of challenging for the division title, and none can call themselves a winning football team at the halfway point of 2007 (hell, twice this season, including last week, all 4 teams in the West have […]
