Reid Goes to the Chiefs

The money was on Arizona and yet it turned up Kansas City.

After being let go by the Eagles on Monday, Andy Reid has reached on agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs to become their next head coach. It took a bit to sort out the details of the contract and to fire Scott Pioli as GM so that Andy Reid could have his own guy in there but the deal got done. Reid's unemployment didn't last long as he now has the task of turning around the worst team in the league. He has the entire off season and the #1 pick in the draft to work with.

Looks like Andy Reid knows where to go. The AFC West is easier to navigate than the NFC West making Kansas City truly the more luring option. Sure, Reid has to turnaround the Chiefs coming off one of their worst seasons ever but he managed to turn around the Eagles when he first took over that team. More likely than not, next year will be seen as an improved year anyway.

As for the Cardinals, have you tried petitioning to move into another division?

P.S. Thanks for reading, Andy.

Chiefs Win an Emotional Game After Tragedy

It had been one day since the tragedy involving Jovan Belcher of the Chiefs and Sunday had come around for those emotional players. Kansas City head coach Romeo Crennel, who had witnessed (along with Chiefs GM Scott Pioli) Jovan Belcher take his own life after Belcher had murdered his girlfriend, had to fight back the emotions and lead his Chiefs to a win. It might've been inappropriate to some to have played the game so soon after the tragedy involving a teammate but to others like coach Crennel the routine was possibly needed.

"As far as playing the game, I thought that was the best for us to do, because that's what we do," Crennel said. "We're football players and football coaches and that's what we do, we play on Sunday."

The Chiefs managed to win the game 27-21 snapping an 8 game losing streak Sunday over the Panthers at home. The Chiefs managed to fight through the motions for their first home win of the season.

"It's been an incredibly difficult 24 hours for our family and our entire organization," Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said. "We have so many guys on our team and our coaching staff who are really, really hurting."

It has been a trying weekend for the team and those affected. May god be with them during this trying time.
