Jamaal Charles is ruled out as well as both starting guards. If we can get a good interior push, we can really mess up their offense.

Wonder who would like to beat the Chiefs more, Obrien or Crennel ? Of course the Chiefs totally humiliated O'Brien and his team twice last year and fired Crennel when he was their HC.

[chuck]

I just don't see how that's not a catch. I don't care who the ruling favored, it's just bad for the game when idiotic calls like that are made. It happens every week. I used to love the NBA. Now I watch maybe half an hour per season. I wonder if I'll get to that point with the NFL. I'm heading in that direction with the MLB.

[Big Texas]

That was the ugliest end around ever...lol
