Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs history, Casey Wiegmann was born in 1973. Now, a confession: It looks like I broke bad yesterday in regard to Chiefs History. You see, Walter White was born July 19, 1951.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce named NFL’s top tight end by Touchdown Wire | Touchdown Wire
Touchdown Wire’s Mark Schofield recently scribed a piece counting down the top-12 tight ends in the league heading into the 2022 NFL season. Using film study and statistical analysis, he came to the conclusion that Kelce was the No. 1 tight end in the league.
Report: Chiefs frustrated over result of extension talks with Orlando Brown Jr. | Chiefswire
Now, how genuine is the team’s frustration over the lack of a team-friendly deal? Given there was a sense out of Baltimore that he wanted to be the highest-paid tackle in football, it seems naive to assume anything otherwise now that he’s playing on the left side.
Frank Clark is Chiefs’ highest-rated edge rusher in ‘Madden NFL 23’ | Chiefswire
For context, Madden rarely gives incoming rookie first-round draft picks overall ratings above 80. At pick No. 30, George Karlaftis received a 74 overall rating and he’s the team’s second-best edge rusher in terms of ratings. The next best is Mike Danna, a third-year edge rusher and a former fourth-round draft pick, at 69 overall.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman is more than just a gadget receiver | Chiefswire
One of the most frequent misconceptions is the idea that Hardman only thrives as a gadget receiver. That is to say that he needs manufactured touches, often behind the line of scrimmage, in order to have success in Andy Reid’s offense. Things like screen passes, reverses and so on.
Counting down the Chiefs’ single-season punting yardage leaders | Chiefswire
iiiPunting isn’t exactly the key part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ “winning” strategy as it was in the early 2010s. Back then, Dustin Colquitt was a Pro Bowl-caliber stud that the team leaned on as a lynchpin in their dysfunctional losing-war-of-attrition gameplans.
Chiefs 2022 schedule preview, Week 9: Titans | Chiefswire
Tennessee handed the Chiefs their worst loss of the 2021 season, dominating them from start to finish with a 27-3 final score. The Titans got off to an 8-2 start and appeared to be the strongest team in the AFC, but stumbled a bit down the stretch, going 4-3 in their final seven games.

Local Chiefs Reporters:
Marquez Valdes-Scantling just made a great contested catch near the pylon during 7-on-7. Really nice play.
Great way to start the morning 🥰 @AyoCook_6

And Justin Reid is entering the white workout tent with a trainer.
First wrinkle in the 7-on-7 period is Bryan Cook getting reps alongside Juan Thornhill.

#Commanders coach Ron Rivera tells reporters TE Antonio Gandy-Golden is retiring from football and will return to school.
Todd McClure was a seventh-round pick who started 195 games at center, including a franchise-record 144 straight games.
14 years in the NFL. All in the red and black.
The ultimate iron man.

Bucs’ HC Todd Bowles said at his press conference today that center Ryan Jensen suffered a knee injury at practice.
Bucs center Ryan Jensen just went down. A golf cart came out to get him and all teammates huddled around him. He’s heading to the training room.
An apparent leg injury to watch…
Ryan Jensen just went down for Bucs and being carted off. He threw his helmet, which is not a good sign.

Please sign Big Fish and get him to camp to either help the kids on the O-Line (Kinnard) and/or get in shape JUST IN CASE Orlando Brown, Jr is an idiot and decides to sit out some games
Thank you for your consideration

Also on this day, in 1969… Mankind first landed on the moon, in what was dubbed “one giant leap for mankind.”
Hollywood set. Never happened. Birds aren’t real, either.
UV’d for historical accuracy and because it was freaking amazing to watch live.
Man on the moon. 6 months later, Chiefs win the SB. What a time to witness.
Man on the moon. 6 months later, Chiefs win the SB
this year, NASA is planning a test of the new Artemis rocket and capsule to the moon in Aug (or Sept) … then maybe 6 months later Chiefs win the SB again (it could happen)

what rhymes with orange?
“no it doesn’t!”
I hope the Chiefs don’t fart around with alternate uniforms. Red classic helmet, red or white jerseys, white pants.
Have a good hump day AG.
I approve this curmudgeon-esque message.
Don’t mess with perfection.
And BURN those red-on-red’s.
I’m with you Nova, don’t care for red on red but I do like white on white.
Minority opinion: I like the red-on-red look. And agree with white-on-white while away.
I’m with this^^^ guy … love the red-on-red
White on white is so beautiful. I do howeverlike the red pants, too. Basically anything except red/red
😯
I like red-on-red.
I also like white jersey and red pants.
Never been a big fan of all whites; they look like a bunch of patients in body casts running around.
I like red on red!
All white is second
So now we are 6-6.
