Hey, I was in the Iroquois league. Although, mine was western Kansas in the late ’70s High School league, so probably not related.

What are some of your go to sources for Chiefs news AG?
I still look at Arrowhead Pride occasionally and I read the mothership Chiefs dot com. I also binge watch searches on the Chiefs at YouTube. RGR with Ryan Tracy and our old friend Dan Harms are there. There’s a lot these days.
What do you guys like?
I have a few select searches that I use to create the huddle with – I found them years ago when I first started doing the huddle. however they are trade secrets…
okay, I cave in. I use the following as my mains:

Good morning AG! the regular season is here – now we’ll see who all is on the practice squad and how other players that got cut by teams get moved around….
Hey I put just a basic roster post in pending if you want to took a look at it.
I took a look at the first post you put in pending – it looked good. I added a picture to it, so take a look (preview) and see it’s okay with you. I think that one might be good to publish before the season starts. your roster post sounds like it should be posted pretty quickly, so I’ll take a look at it now..
Thanks!
It will go live this afternoon.
Or should I say “It should go live”… never know with this program… and me doing it!
No worries.
Man Twitter is crazy with all the negativity. It’s pretty funny. People really don’t like Toub and Remigio.
It reminds me of how bad people wanted EB gone a few years ago. People have a hard time not utilizing scapegoats. Now they love EB again.
Remigio can catch punts and works hard. People loved his story just a few years back. It’s wild.
People loved Toub when we had Tyreek Hill back there before all the NFL rule changes. He’s a good coach.
All this stuff cracks me up.
That’s the internet in a nutshell.
Getting worked up over wr6. Either of whom ceiling is about 200 receiving yards for the year is pretty stupid.
Now if they want to knock on Toub because there’s a flag on every other ST play. I will listen to complaints.
I’d guess its that and Butker having a good and bad day at the same time.
Butker is getting old. He’s a great kicker. I think he’ll figure it out.
The bigger issue is that we need to score touchdowns and not rely on Butker and make him kick six times per game.
I think Mahomes is going to go off this season and the running game will be much improved and the screen game will be elite.
It will give the offense more than on dimensiion.
I think people are discounting how good Mahomes will be. When people doubted him early in his career he went off.
All of his weapons whether you love them or not are healthy and available this season. That’s huge.
Rice is in a contract year, which is undefeated. Cyrus Allen and Emmett Johnson look like gems and potential difference makers.
Delane looks like he can play. Woods! And don’t get me started on R. Mason Thomas.
Throw in the speed of Worthy and Smith. Sprinkle in Kelce battling worldwide hatred and doubt.
I love when people doubt Andy Reid and the Chiefs.
They got this!
We’re lacking an established receiving threat in their prime. Kelce is old. Rice and Worthy need to be consistent. Everyone else is a question mark at this point. Oline for the buckets and buckets and buckets of money and resources we dump into it is not that good.
On the plus side. I think our running game is going to be something we haven’t seen since young kareem hunt. Hopefully that helps both the oline and the receivers.
Like you said Mahomes is other worldly. The offensive around Mahomes has been on a steady decline for 3 years now. Truly amazing what Pat did the 2 years before last season. Picked up mostly chumps and dragged them to a super bowl victory and to another super bowl appearance. Last year the decline of the defense along with the offense around him was too much. Did his best to make up for it with his legs but hes only one demigod.
We get a lot of penalties in general.
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Andy say “we gotta clean that up.”? Hundreds.
The other thing about Armstrong is that he was pancaking fifth string cornerbacks that won’t be in the league. He wasn’t doing that to Patrick Surtain II. He was like a better hands Marcus Kemp.
He’ll probably be on the practice squad.
I wonder if special teams are a large source of penalties for most teams – considering they are all backups and rookies..
Especially on kick offs where they are dying to give you the ball starting at the 35 now. Dumb penalties that start you at the 15 are just killers. Think I saw a stat that we haven’t had a ST TD in something like a decade. Dont over do it. Just take the yards the NFL gives you and go sit down.
