Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs history, two birthdays to note. First, former Chief and current BFF of Patrick Mahomes Gehrig Deiter was born 1993. Vaughn Booker was also born in 1968
In other history, in 2022, Russia invades the Ukraine.

1991: U.S. ground operations began in the Persian Gulf War
1955: Steve Jobs, the man responsible for lots of cool ads, was born
1942: The Voice of America made its first broadcast, in German, to counter the propaganda of Nazi leaders.
Let’s do the news…
Analyst Urges Chiefs to Cut $30 Million Playoff Hero After 1 Season | Heavy
The Kansas City Chiefs are entering the 2023 offseason with under $1 million in cap space, which means some cap-saving maneuvers will be made by the front office so the team can sign more talent.
Eric Bieniemy drops truth bomb on leaving Chiefs for Commanders | Clutchpoints
https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-eric-bieniemy-drops-truth-bomb-leaving-chiefs-washington
Bieniemy has spent the past ten seasons of his coaching career with the Chiefs, starting off as their running backs coach before becoming the offensive coordinator in 2018. But with his contract expiring at the end of the season, it seemed very likely that Bieniemy would be on the move, and as he was introduced with the Commanders, he revealed he knew for a while that his time with the Chiefs was up.

His now former quarterback Patrick Mahomes came out in defense of the coordinator as he looks to continue his rise in the NFL. (ED: And with that, I am done with the EB saga. I wish him well, but he is no longer Chiefs news)

$130 Million QB Says He Will Beat Chiefs in 2024 Super Bowl | Heavy
The Kansas City Chiefs are already the 2024 Super Bowl favorites, but one player on a team with long adds to compete in that Super Bowl is already calling his shot.
Morning Bowl of (T)Weeties:
Arrowhead Guys Twitter:
The Chiefs add former Colts DT Byron Coward, who had 12 tackles in 17 games last year. https://twitter.com/JLSports3/status/1639290472966307842
Congratulations to client @ByronCowart1 on signing with the @Chiefs
Can confirm the Chiefs are re-signing Blake Bell on a 1-year deal (@RapSheet 1st).
The team keeps its top 4 tight ends from last year — in Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Jody Fortson & Bell — & could add another player at the position in the draft next month.
Excited for this new chapter! 🙏🏾
The obsession with Jackson Mahomes. 🙄
You can just choose to not follow him and/or block him. He doesn’t appear in your feed anymore.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers confronts TikTok CEO:
"Why would you willingly give Jackson Mahomes a platform in this world?”
Update: The #Chiefs have signed back DT Derrick Nnadi, a 2018 3rd round pick who played his entire career with the team, per his agent SportsTrust.
Local Chiefs Reporters:
"I think the data was very clear: it doesn’t show a higher injury rate. But we recognize shorter weeks. We went through this with COVID too.”
Roger Goodell defends the Thursday Night Football flex proposal.
Goodell defends TNF flex proposal, owners postpone vote
The NFL approved a measure that would allow every team to play on two short weeks. It previously was only one week.
theathletic.com
One would hope Clark Hunt would be a no vote on flexing Thursday night games.
Chiefs draw from a huge geographic footprint, and there's plenty of frustration from fans when Sunday games get flexed.
Let's hope the NFL won't force teams to play two home games on Thursday nights.
More John Mara: "People make plans to go to these games weeks and months in advance. 15 days ahead of time to say ‘Sorry folks, that game you were planning on taking your kids to Sunday at one o’clock, it’s now going to be Thursday night.’ I mean, what are we thinking about?''
Point to the only quarterback in the NFL with two Super Bowl wins
Roger Goodell, just now: “I don’t think we are putting Amazon over the players. …We recognize shorter weeks. I hear from a lot of players directly who love the 10 days after the game.”

NFL confirms that moving forward there will now only be one “NFL Redzone” channel. That’s with Scott Hanson hosting.
DirectTV’s deal came to an end and that version of Redzone no longer exists.
National Talking Heads:
Prior to reaching his decision, Calais Campbell had a 40-minute phone call with owner Arthur Blank and the two discussed leadership, charitable efforts, and how Campbell thrives in the community. That non-football call helped seal it.
Sources: The #Falcons are making another splash, as former #Ravens star Calais Campbell intends to sign a 1-year deal with them. The Pro Bowler and former Walter Payton Man of the year will lend leadership to a young team he believes in. And Atlanta adds — again — on defense.
While Calais Campbell had several options, he bought in to the vision of Atlanta coach Arthur Smith and GM Terry Fontenot. He’s been to a conference title game with a young team and young QB before (the #Jaguars), and perhaps there are some similarities.

For something a little different, been following this gal for a while. Extremely talented and this is one of my favorite Deep Purple songs.. enjoy
Chiefs news is slowing down. Slim Pickens
Appreciate you morning Huddle guys in the off-season
What Zulu said!
agreed & wreck’d
Update: The guy who does the Super Bowl Holthus/Harlan “dubs” is “working on them;” he apparently flew into and out of KC for the championship day parade and is thus “a little behind.”
No timeline as yet, but it sounds like he was able to make pretty good headway last evening.
Should be fun
HEY GUYS!
Now that the 2022-23 season is in the books, I wanted to give one last song parody to recap what we went through this year. Call it an after-season Super Bowl reflection. Call it what you will. We’re world champs baby! (And it actually rounds off everything in this 2nd volume of Chiefs’ poems to an even 40).
With that in mind, I present my last song parody (or poem) for this season: “WON THIS WAY!” (to the tune of Aerosmith, “Walk this Way”. Even better, the recording listed is the duet version between Aerosmith and Run DMC).

Please read, rate, comment on the link, share. And as always… GO CHIEFS!
Great stuff 3rd!
You are a talented man, everyone should read this one, its great!
MODERATORS / EDITORS / GUYS IN CHARGE HERE –
I got a bad technical problem. I am in the process of posting my last Chiefs’ poem of the year as a fanpage. But when I do what I always have, copying it over from Google Docs to here, it has messed up the format.
I don’t know what to do. I want to post it. But not like this. I’ve promised it that I would post this today. Help please.
Restarted the computer. We’ll see if that helps.
Ok. Good news. Whatever it was, that took care of it. I’ll post soon.
Look forward to reading it
(See above)
Good to hear, because I wouldn’t know how to fix that. Word Press does weird stuff from time to time. Moving stuff from Google Docs to even Word can cause formatting problems.
You want to show me the ropes sometime today/evening?
Somebody wanted me to have their email address but I don’t know the name- I only know screen names
I sent you Rip’s email yesterday from my aol.com starting with kb
Got it
I can do that. I sent you an email. Send me your # and I can call later. I’m East Coast, and I can probably do anytime after 5, my time.
Sounds good
Let me know when works for you and we’ll get this going
Did you get my email?
I took notes/initially wrote rough drafts of documents in Google Docs while a grad student, and then transferred everything to Word. Formatting is a nightmare.
It’s even worse with resumes/CVs.

Eric Bieniemy opens his presser by thanking the Chiefs.
“It’s been an amazing journey getting to this point and having the success we’ve had.”
This is sooooo good I posted last night — here it is again
I hope we throw some cash at McKinnon. (relatively speaking of course. Rbs are cheap) I really like this duo. Plus if McKinnon can help teach Pacheco to block and help him with his passing game, we could end up with one of the best RBs in the nfl in a couple of years.
If we threw cash at McKinnon, he’d probably turn it into many, many touchdowns.
A “couple” of years Jet will be retired by then
That’s what I mean. McKinnon teaches Pacheco the little things.
McKinnon was not gifted with Pacheco’s size. If Pacheco can learn to do the little things that McKinnon does he will be awesome.
Awesome
Awesomer
“WORLD CHAMPIONS”
From what I heard from Peter King.. cigars were lit up HUGE!

You left out “bitches!!”
