Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs history is a blank canvas, waiting for something historical to happen. Maybe today is the day? Elsewhere, In 1991 Miguel Indurain won his first of 5 (likely doped) consecutive Tour de France victories, WWI started in 1914 with the assassination of the Austrian archduke Francis Ferdinand, and the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and rights to freed slaves went into effect in 1868.
Now, What’s happening in Chiefs Kingdom?

Patrick Mahomes also spent a few seconds showing Skyy Moore exactly what he wanted from the rookie receiver to shield Reid. https://twitter.com/jacobs71/status/1554119532461137921

Justin Watson just caught a quick slant during team before reversing direction and showing off his speed for a long TD.
First defensive line to get work today includes Karlaftis and Clark at EDGE with Jones and Danna inside
Mahomes with a gorgeous fade to Smith-Schuster. The timing is on point between those two . #Chiefs
Local Chiefs Reporters:
Nick's notes from practice are always the best, and with great video as well. Check out Justin Watson as well. This guy has been making plays since OTAs and just keeps stacking days on days.
Today was the Chiefs' first day of padded practices. The heat and humidity were arguably some of the worst of camp. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was able to get an efficient and effective practice in.

Training camp is in full swing, and we've got actual football to talk about. But how much of it is real information?
I wrote about what matters in camp, what doesn't, and how to sift through the play-by-play of glorified practices to gain some insight.

Thursday funnies
Kyler is hurt that people (everyone) thinks that the reason the Cards put a clause in his contract about study time is because he didn’t study. No idea why they would think that.

who cares? it’s a TEAM sport … I do NOT give one rat’s ass about individual player rankings (and neither should you!) … I care about the TEAM, where the Kansas City Chiefs end up, how the TEAM does
last time I checked the team was NOT the Kansas City Mahomes
about the only “individual” things I care about are … well, yes, Otis Taylor SHOULD be in the HoF (honor those who did so well in the past)

thanks for the this day in history stuff
No. Rodgers is a headcase.
YES!!!!
I post ALL THE TIME — Invest In Yourself
.
Chiefs RG Trey Smith had another Hall of Fame mentor at OL Masterminds.
Attending events such as the annual OL Masterminds Summit. The former Tennessee Volunteers star again attended this year’s summit with a focus on improving some key areas of his game.
.
Smith was already spotted learning from Hall of Frame OT (Willie Roaf), but he also revealed that he had another mentor while he was at this year’s event.
.
“One guy that I was leaning on a lot was (Steve Hutchinson),” said Smith.
.
.
Don’t invest in yourself = you make the same $$$, live the same life…..with same results.
***HAT TIP TO YOU – Trey Smith***
After last night’s OT, let’s start the day with some positivity.
I hope everyone has a good day.
Good morning to you, SC!
Glad I skipped it, which I rarely do.
nippy & camel toe = Have A Great Day!!! hahahahahaaa
