Thursday Night OT: Willie Gay Jr. Goes To IR & ESPN’s Floor & Ceiling for the Chiefs.
278 repliesJoin Arrowhead Guys Open Thread for the evening, combined with the news that Willie Gay J.R. is starting the season on IR and that Adam Teicher is indeed still Adam Teicher.
Recently Field Yates broke the news that Willie Gay Jr. will be placed on IR with the Kansas City Chiefs. This means that for the first three games of the season, Willie Gay Jr. will be unavailable to play due to his turf toe injury suffered in the preseason. Arrowhead Guys, I wish there was a ’90s expression to show our displeasure about this situation, but I got nothing. . .
[Except for Adam’s Teicher’s thoughts on the Chiefs floor]
Adam Teicher’s Chiefs Ceiling & Floor:
From ESPN, ceiling and floor for all 32 teams. Laughable. 🤦🏻♂️👎🏻 pic.twitter.com/bv66KcFQY1

Willie Gay Jr. To IR:
The Chiefs have placed starting LB Willie Gay on IR, meaning he is out for at least 3 games.

Had a feeling this move was coming after the team kept six linebackers… #Chiefs place LB Willie Gay Jr. on injured reserve https://t.co/7nJEOeOtP5 via @thechiefswire

There’s initial optimism that Willie Gay’s toe injury isn’t serious, I’m told, but that can be a tricky injury. The next few days or week will reveal more as he receives treatment.

Combo Thread?
Rather than having a Breaking News Post and an Open Thread for the evening, AG decided to combine them. So please utilize this as the evenings Open Thread. Additionally. . .
With the Willie Gay Jr. situation, please keep in mind that it’s a turf toe injury and that Willie should only miss about three games. Additionally, I think/believe Chiefs rookie LB Nick Bolton will get some valuable experience from getting thrown into the fire early next to Anthony Hitchens against the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and the Los Angeles Chargers (the Chiefs first three opponents). With or without Willie Gay Jr. and/or Adam Teicher’s positivity the Chiefs season is on its way.
Taking off as well – appreciate you all
okies, check-out time … my Weekend Work Week starts tomorrow (oh boy!) … take good care of yourselves, ALL of ya’s
I’m tapping out on a high note, be good

Damn she was hot….

nite man, gotta crash
You guys were discussing the run it back slogan a couple nights ago. Maybe this alternate already was suggested, I think some scrub scribe coined it years ago: there and back again.

“A woman told her doctor, ‘I’ve got a bad back.’ The doctor said, ‘It’s just old age.’ The woman said, ‘I want a second opinion.’ ‘OK,’ the doctor said. ‘You’re ugly too.'”
that one goes back (I think) to Vaudeville days … still funny
My ex-wife told her doctor, “I’ve got a bad back.” The doctor said, “That is because you are a fat ass b word.” My ex whined to me about wanting a second opinion. I told her that she had a bad front as well.
I normally do not go down the road of sharing my emotions – thank you all for bearing with me and being supportive.
well with me here
no one is safe
For all the crap that everyone gives to each other, when push comes to shove, we have each others back – like a family should.
fuck you very much 🙂
That is the medicine that I need. Should we discuss the merits of the rock group KISS right now? Build me up.
if I could think of merits….
Sometimes you gotta get it out, this is a good place for it.
It might be bragging, but I really did blaze that trail.
And I won’t tolerate anyone using such moments to abuse the person letting it all hang out. Bans? Doubtful, but I’ve got buck and ball in both barrels of that verbal shotgun.
Buck and ball in both barrels – I believe I heard that in a porno.
It’s an old, old flintlock/caplock load.
Same porno – thirty years later.
*very specific porn
Specific and perhaps realistic?
link?
I thought I was perverted and demented – is this something that you really want to watch?
not until you mentioned it…
if you think you are … then you are (like, who are we to tell you anything different)
I am at the top of the scale that all members of AG should measure themselves with – life becomes dangerous when you are at 50% EAFOX perversion level.
ummmmmmmmmm … I’m probably about 125% of EA level (just sayin’)

Sometimes my wife makes me wonder about her upbringing.
We were discussing some home construction thing on TV and I said it was built like a brick shithouse.
Apparently she has never heard that term before, so she asked why would you want to shit in a brick room.
I really never thought I would have to explain that saying to someone older than me.
On the bright side, I use the term brick shithouse quite often.
I used a brick shithouse on occasion as a kid. OK, it was actually concrete, placed in the park for public use, but close enough.
I explain things to my wife on a routine basis, but that’s usually because I learned something new and interesting, and wanted to share it with her.
I tried to explain to my ex-wife that eating chips while talking about going on a diet was somehow related to an oxymoron.
I am envious for those of you out there that had or have good relationships with your dad or mom. I loved my dad but he was the most stubborn, obstinate you know what on the planet and my mom was in and out of my life until she passed. I was the only one of my siblings to speak at my dad’s funeral – the best that I could come up with was that he thought he was doing the right thing with everything he did. It is what it is and do not need any sympathetic words – Just treasure the good memories you have and aim for more of them if you have a chance.
Your parents persisted through the depression and created you and your kin
Their parents and their parents probably dealt with trying to get to America.
Life is hard, if you are alive your parents succeeded
My dad worked his butt off to provide for us and while strict with a belt and such never did anything that constituted abuse. My mom did tie my sister to a bedpost once but she probably deserved it.
I got a whipping from my grade school principal
Well deserved
Me and my brothers always winced when my dad moved from the belt to a piece of lumber.
I have a feeling yall were a handfull
If one of us did something, all three of us would get it as it would teach us a lesson. Mentioned my sister – now gone – that got tied to the bedpost and took off for Utah once she hit 18. My other sister – the family pet who never did anything wrong. Took me years to not blame her for all the happened when we were young kids.
what did you learn?
Don’t get caught
I watched what my parents did, what my sisters did, I learned
what I should do not to tread those paths, It helped me to keep my wife with me 40 years, and to keep the love and respect of my two boys. I took some beatings of the heart along the way
Jesus wept
so did I
What does not kill us makes us stronger.
Immortal!
So you believe.

My mom was a beautiful person (died 9 yrs ago come Dec.) The old man and I made our peace as I took him for cancer treatments in “98-’99, not a lot of talking, but that’s how he was.
Cried for the old man that week, I still well up for mom (not as much anymore unless I open that door).
Allow your feelings to happen
The feelings of disappointment, hurt, anger allowed me to become the best parent that I could possibly be. A day did not go by that I have not told my kids – all grown now – that I loved them. They are the great accomplishment of my life.
there you go!!
I am very aware of how blessed I am in that regard. I have a great relationship with my Dad and stepmother (they married in 1988) even though I never lived with them.
And I have a great relationship with my step-dad (married my mom in 1986) now that I am an adult.
My mother is a different bird, so it is hard to have a good relationship with her. She is a hypochondriac and basically only leaves the house for funerals.
I have come to actively dislike my parents, though they’re still alive. I’ve been told repeatedly that I’ll regret not trying to make peace with them before they die, but I already know that the only peace I could make would be to accept their treatment of me as “good”. I can’t change them, and why would I miss their cold, condescending, critical views of me?
Remember, to them, I’m incredibly lazy. Their “love” for me? Purely conditional, and it’s impossible for me to get above the minimum of that. They started checking out of real life in August of 1973, and they’ve now achieved their dream. The only family member they have left who actually wants to have a close relationship with them is my younger son, and they’ve held him at arm’s length since he asked my father to stop going through his trash. This apparently offended him to no end. His only actual (to him, the science teacher and lifelong Democrat) grandson. And Dad pushed him away, wouldn’t talk to him.
Thus, the envy for those who have strong bonds. From everything that I have heard, you are a great father so perhaps that is the greatest lesson that they taught you. You might dislike them but make sure that you always love them.
Nope, they’ve abused my love for them too many times. I don’t have enough left to love people who only pretend to love me, and want the authority and benefits of that from me, as well. I refuse to give them that, because I’m done with that subtle, crippling abuse. Everything looked normal, outwardly, but the things that didn’t leave marks physically cut too deep.
For a nickle, I’d switch to actively hating them. There is no way to relate how their treatment of a psychologically badly damaged child made everything far worse, but I still feel the pain of it.
You are a grown man and the decision is yours to make but I hope that you do not go down the road to hate. I hated my mom and both my brother and sister – my mom for leaving whenever the whim took her and my brother and sister for both sexually abusing me when I was young. The hatred was killing me inside and being able to forgive allowed me to move on. I did not do that for them – it was for me.
I fully understand and appreciate the value of that reasoning, but that’s not the only way. I fully agree that the problem with harboring hatred is that it never stops eating at you. Hatred and anger ate away a lot of me, when I was young, so I made choices, one being reducing my grudge list to just one person, Fred Hart. That’s safe enough, because I’m not going to see him again.
But with my parents, I understand them far too well to be forgiving. I don’t hate them, but I have completely dropped that rope. The only thing I care about them anymore is how they treat my son, and typically of them, it’s poorly. Same goes for their hired hands, since they don’t feel the need to pay the going rate on the books with the gov’t and all. Cash transactions, and they pay is less than normal minus taxes. Miserly, both with affection and money, and likely mercy and understanding, as well.
If they change, then forgiveness can come into the picture, but I won’t forgive those who don’t forgive even their own family. I just dropped that rope.
a tough nut
My older sister and I have only talked in many years when our mother passed
Would I like it to be different, don’t know, she has been well out there from what I feel is even normal human life….
My youngest talked about this to me about my anger anymore about homeless beggars.
He said maybe they do not see the world like “normal” people do….
It makes me sad, I don’t want to be mad at my kin, but I would like to be able to trust them in my house if I was not there.
I don’t
that’s rough.
try not to use a broad brush though.
I never did
but I have helped or hindered enough now that I will not share my home with unknowns
fair and wise
Truly understand – I have some family that I would not have in my apartment unless everything I owned was under lock and key and I was there with my shotgun.
I’ll go a ways to help a stranger I’ll never meet again, but I don’t take in strays.
I have PTSD, I won’t take that risk again. Too many bad experiences with folks I thought I knew.
It Ain’t my Fault
Embarrassing family music moments – my sister went to an Osmond concert at Memorial Hall back in the mid seventies. She was into the Osmonds and I was into KISS. How could we have sprang from the same loins?
She was a little bit country, and you were a lot a bit real Rock’n’Roll
Well played sir.
Appreciate all of the comments from everyone here – I was down but you all have certainly picked me up. You all are my AG family for life. Has also been fun going down memory lane for those that live in this area.
“Socialism is wonderful! Best economic-political thing ever invented! Just look, it’s a combination of two radically different things, so that has to be good!”, or whatever words to similar effect. Tell that to this guy, who grew up under the crushing tyranny of the Castro regime – and fuck you Michael Moore, as well. The USA is a paradise, compared to his native Cuba, and the main thing that saddens him about coming here is that there’s no way for him to share any of it with the family he left behind.
Mixing politics and economics is never good, just consider the lobbyists and imagining being folded into the government. Remember, under socialist policy, it’s 1 for you, 19 for me. Literally, at times.
For those that live around the KC area, I had the opportunity to watch some raw video that someone had of the 1951 flood – seeing some local places under flood conditions put a lot of things in perspective.
The 60’s race riots sorta led me to find my wife
life is mysterious and possibly the 1972 LS Little League draft for Football 🙂
How did the race riots help you find your wife – sounds like an interesting story there.
Her grandfather lived in the Northeast/paseo area
the violence drove him to Lees summit to raise his family
Makes sense – we moved from downtown KCK out to the boondocks at the time – around Washington High School
Kansas Blvd? I used to drive around the Kansas Side with the Star
not so much working for State of Missouri
KC Star? My family used to work there.
worked there from 1984 to 2016
Most of my family had retired from there by then – worked mainly in the pressroom – an awesome place to visit back in the day. My great grandfather, grandfather, great uncles, dad, uncles, and brothers all worked there.
haha
I am happy to know them
The place was special
I am sure that some Bryants BBQ was consumed by them too
I got the privilege of crawling all over that building
I saw place few saw
I was in the tower where the 1900 fire suppression water tank sat above the publishers office
The tunnel that ran under Grand to the Paper wharehouse, we had our on conveyors that took thos huge rolls of paper from storage to Chiefs Victory News
one more
I got to help build that huge green publishing facility, I was in a position to help design the network that ran it for a decade
I am proud, as should be your kin, we all were part of something beloved in its time
The strike back in 73 or 74 or somewhere around there – my grandfather had been the head of the union until he retired back in 70 – my dad fired the man that got the strike started and my uncle pushed a picket sign in my dads face – causing them not to talk for ten years – The strike resulted in 24 hour police protection for the family and a funny story about gunshots in our backyard. These digital papers suck ass – I miss the old time papers – we used to get three a day, then two – now ugh.
I worked in the electrical department all 12 or so of us
was part of IBEW 124?
I got chosen with a coworker Charlie Bauer to represent the workers vs Star Management on a new union contract
Our choice was simple
Walk or decertify
I was to young, a gut wrencher
I firmly believe that the loss of union power has resulted in the out of control corporation bullshit that we face today. When I first became a teacher, our district feared the union but now it has become a rubber stamp and a farce.
Notice how Ford and Chevy are still viable companies
I worked for Cap Cities, Disney/ABC, Knight Ridder, and McClatchy all in the same building
Debt did in a lot of companies
True. I will add that the internet destroyed the newspaper industry.
I had a boss
What about the internet.
It won’t last….
He didn’t
Thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet
The Star spent many millions on the internet
the world spent billions
Classified and Real Estate and Auto
all disappeared for print news
Air Traffic Controllers unions, and Fairness Doctrine. Both killed by the Reagan admin
YES
It makes my stomach churn to drive past 18th and Grand now
Agree – the outside is hard enough to look at – would never be able to handle looking at the inside.
Not sure if there is a moral to this story – when I was young, my dad use to harp on me about drinking and driving. He went to a party – drove into a field, down a railroad track, and onto a runway. Car was smashed in everywhere. He lost his keys in one of the folds created by the crashes – we found them the next day. He stopped giving me so much shit about drinking and driving – I had not even started to drive yet.
Giada is on Food network
Talking with some teachers today about 9/11 – The first said that she was in high school when the attacks happened. The second said she was in middle school and the third said she was in elementary school. I told them that I was contemplating retiring that year – at least it would have been early retirement.
I think you said you were in or had lived in KCK?
Born and raised in KCK
Still live in KCK?
Ever been to a meat market Bichelmeyers?
Hell yeah, I have been there.
Ever checked out The Local Pig? Pricey, but quality’s also high.
No – even drawing a blank about ever hearing about the place.
It’s a few miles north-ish from Arrowhead, and when I went there, its location was really tucked away. Had a hell of a time figuring out how to get from the major road down to the local road leading to it, the first time, but no regrets on that. It’s not really a butcher shop, per se, it’s a charcuterie, so it’s more a matter of processed meats, like bacon and sausage, but other cuts are sold, as well, such as chops and steaks.
Everything’s done on-site, and pork chicken and beef are not the only meats they deal in. The staff’s very knowledgeable, and can steer you to what suits your tastes. When we had the money for season tix, I decided that just once, I wanted to go all-out on quality steaks, since you can’t buy pri9me beef in supermarkets. They set me up with a pair of grass-fed, lightly corn-finished ribeyes that came in at 40oz each, for which I paid about a buck an ounce. Worth every penny.
Ah – no wonder I had never heard of it – you did make me hungry – sounds great.
Looks like they moved, though the artwork I recognize as the original location.
https://www.localpig.com/location/the-local-pig/
there was a meat market on Truman road
was there a long time but closed down within the last few years
My Dad’s family owns it
my relatives
Dad and my Uncle worked there
As a child, my dad took me there and I saw them butcher
A life not for me
Damn – small world
Best meat market in town, in the Armourdale district
What’s the area that they called the stockyards or the old stockyards?
I remember eating down there one day, Not sure if that area is still open or not
Near the Golden Ox?
I can’t remember, probably 35 years ago. I think it’s where the train tracks came in and unloaded the cattle in the old days
We can roll through there if you wish to get a new Tattoo
Not necessarily… 😁,
actually Lees Summit is having an Octoberfest downtown on the 24th and 25th
I better bring my lederhosen..!!
The old ethnic festivals were to die for
not much but an arts district now the stockyards
Golden Ox – used to be a damn good place to get a steak and there were some other restaurants near there in the old days – near where they put up Kemper Arena. My great great grandfather used to live down the street there in the bottoms.
There was a steakhouse in the 90’s on 20th street or somewhere between Grand and Main
you walked in and the grills were fired up and the smell of steak was awesome….
Gone now
My son took me and my wife up to that restaurant that revolved up on the 30th floor or something of a hotel
was an awesome rib steak?
Gone now
Hereford House?
Actually no if it was the revolving one.
Never ate there but know where you are talking about.
I am slow but I guess that we are talking about two different places here. The Hereford House passed the Golden Ox as the premier steakhouse back in the day. The original place had a fire there quite a few years back.
yes two
The hotel was formerly topped by a revolving rooftop restaurant, Skies, which closed in 2011 along with the hotel’s Peppercorn Duck Club when the hotel became a part of Starwood. The former Skies restaurant reopened as the Sheraton Club Lounge, a private club.
yes
they never survived moving to the burbs
Thanks
I went in last year to get something and told them my name
It was nice, They loved my Uncle Louie. well, My dad, lost his dad like Rip lost his when he was a baby. Grandma married into the Bichelmeyers and they took very good care of my Dad and and his brothers
Thank you to them
Great place to stop on a Saturday afternoon, or it used to be. Dunno if they still do those street tacos.
and pork carnitas
seems some might know more than me
He did, but I’m not so sure. I lived in Lansing for a long time, and to hear him tell it, I should have at least seen his ex-wife.
My ex and the great wall of China – both visible from space.
Yeah, but I used to take K 7 down to by K 10 to work, I should’ve at least seen her shadow.
Her obesity probably rolled into KCMO on those days
I was in week 5 of basic training…
Damn – I bet that kicked everyone square in the nuts and kicked the anxiety into high gear.
A little bit. We just kind of decided we were all probably being reclassed to infantry.
I was teaching (in Denver) when that went down … talk about an eerie morning (and day)
Watched it all day with my students – Took awhile but things went back to normal. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.
remember watching on a 9′ B&W tv at work. How could you not?
Another teacher had phoned me and told me about the accident. I clicked on the TV in the room a few minutes before the second plane came into view. Watching that live was heart rendering.
yeah it was … and totally surreal
About a third of the parents came up and picked their kid up from school.
Feeling mortal tonight – My aunt passed away last night at the age of 97. She was the last one of her generation. There are nine of us left – brothers, sisters, cousins – in my generation. I am hoping good genes prevail – Had four relatives live to their nineties and one made it to 88.
condolensenses Fox
agree that losing someone does remind one that we are not immortal
Appreciate the thoughts – planning on hanging around until Patrick has more Super Bowl rings than Brady and hoping to make it to see Patrick Mahomes IV start for the Chiefs as well.
That would be awesome
My dad passed away in February this year on Super Bowl Sunday. Thought alot about it and still not over it.
Man, I’m sorry to hear that. Mine died almost 11 years ago and I’m still not over it.
Damn – did not want to bring every one down. Some tough stories out there. Great phone message memory.
still working on this nearly 3 years later
Grief is a process
Looking at all his pictures when he was kid and other ones just made me think about his whole life and how things could of been different.
Pictures can be a blessing and a curse – Somedays, it helps to think about all of the good times and, sometimes, you have to keep yourself busy so you do not think about it too much. Wish I could help but I know words are not always the answer. I am sure that your dad did everything he could to make your life a good one. Treasure the memories when you can and know that he will always be with you in your heart.
My children made some montage videos of my wife for me
Her childhood, her friends, me and her together, our family
I cherished that, and I have another thousand memories that were never pictured
I also wished I had done things different to make our lives better and less stressfull
But I was 18 when we married, My Dad even told her we would not make it
hahhahahhahah, I learned from my Dad what I should do
That is rough dude. Losing a parent is a hard road to go down. Time helps us cope but still not easy. I remember my dad – he has been gone about twenty years now – with some little things – a Yankees game as that was his favorite team, a good boxing match – me, my dad, and grandpa used to gather together to watch the fights.
Most of the memories now bring the good not the bad.
That is the outcome I am coming to
ha, Me, my Stepdad, and step Grandpa? all watched Super Bowl IV together
oh wait, it was actually the longest NFL playoff game together
Christmas Dinner was delayed
WOW
Oh man, and we thought that was a bad day here. Lost mine ten years ago, it’s hard to get over. God Bless Bro.
That was a long life, my aunt and I are the same age. We had great times growing up together.
Sorry for your loss Efox, and hopefully you will hang around for a long while..
Sorry to hear that EA.
It happens – 97 is a pretty full life and she was active until these last three years.
Indeed it is. Regardless, I’m sorry for your family’s loss.
Regards, EAFOX. What a long life!
My grandma made it to 99 – drank beer and ate cheese all day – that was her secret. She actually tried to get on the Titanic.
good cruise to miss!
When my son was young, I tried to explain to him that had she got one – she would have died being one of the poor – and I never would have been born and he would never have been born. His reply was that he simply would have had a different dad.
a great question
How many souls are out there and are they reincarnated into a new body….
Gen Patton felt he had lived previous lives. obviously the Dalia Llama? is reborn as to that belief
If a soul has to be reborn the same year that the last body died, I could be the reincarnation of either James Dean, Albert Einstein, or Shemp Howard – all three died the year I was born.
shemp as in the 4th stooge?
Yep
do I get to vote whom you are 🙂
I feel that I am being Shemped here
damn
Marilyn Monroe Aug 5 1962
If this is your reincarnation, I am looking at you in a different way now.
well
Kisses!!!!
Wouldn’t that be great to start all over with the knowledge we have now. Would be a different day.
game changer
The interesting thing about Patton is that while he felt he had those vague almost-memories, they were always military roles, and he felt he’d served up and down the ranks. From what I recall, he was essentially a nobody, in most of them.
yep
more he felt he was on the battlefield
I’m sorry for your loss, friend, but know that she lived a full and what sounds like active life. She was surrounded by family and friends until the end.
Though she may have departed, may get memory and spirit live on in you and your family.
Thank you for the words – Helps me keep things in perspective.
God bless you my friend.
Sorry for your loss.
Thanks – being online here helps – keeps me too busy to dwell on the loss.
Sorry for your loss bro. Today Kiss Rules!!!
Only today?
Don’t push your luck 😉
Appreciate the words – I will gladly accept today only.
Yes…!!!
if I could give you a Manly Hug, I would … hang in there, Brother
Ravens and Browns will try to run the ball – Bolton should be ahead of the pace in the run game as opposed to the passing game.
