Leftridge: Crap for Sale on Craigslist: Chiefs’ Edition

Leftridge: Fans Revolt After Chiefs Announce London Game

Leftridge: Chiefs Could Have Gone 4-0 in the Preseason, Would Still Suck This Year
In case you missed it, the Kansas City Chiefs did not have a very good preseason. In fact, it was pretty abysmal. This has caused uneducated football fans around the city to declare “THIS TEAM IS GONNA BE REAL BAD … Continue reading
Stomper: Blame it on Mom – Keeping the Rock Em, Sock Em Out of Youth Sports
Our esteemed administrator has been on me to offer another piece and I fear that my obsession with politics is painting me into a corner so… Time to branch out. And while I’m confident Chuck will take issue with this, I try to … Continue reading
Leftridge: The Pointlessness of NFL Training Camp Reporting
Ah, Training Camp. Are there any two words in the English language more apt to illicit sexual squeals from NFL beat writers across the land? (Perhaps “free sandwiches,” but my point stands.) It’s clear that we’re firmly in late July … Continue reading
Leftridge: Well, it’s the NFL Draft, or Whatever
I officially don’t give a shit about the NFL Draft. Maybe it’s the fact that it now seems to be a month-long process teeming with pre-draft shows leading up to the actual event. Video vignettes about how a 400-pound orphan … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs Release Schedule, Could Go…All…The…Way!

Leftridge: Chiefs Lose, How They’re Like Breaking Bad (Hear Me Out)
I was going to sit down and write about the Chiefs’ loss. How it makes me feel. How it ripped my heart out and shat all over it, unceremoniously. How it’s not surprising, but it’s no less disheartening. How we … Continue reading
Leftridge: Why the Chiefs Will Win Their First Playoff Game in 20 Years
Here we are, on the precipice of the Chiefs’ biggest game in 20 years, and it doesn’t really feel like it. Oh sure, the fountains are bloodbath-red, and there are roving hordes of local news people standing in a frigid … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs Key to Success Hinges on Winning the Game
The Chiefs are less than three days away from what is inarguably their biggest test in 10 years. Not since the 2003 season’s playoff matchup against the Indianapolis Colts has a game meant this much. (I’m excusing 2010’s anomaly from … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs Midseason Report Card, One Game Late
Last year, I didn’t do a “midyear progress report” on the Chiefs, because how do you even grade horseshit? It would have looked something like, “oh man, is this team bad. I mean, really, REALLY bad. F’s all around. The … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs Win; All Hail King Houston
Chiefs fans, rejoice. Only three games into the 2013 season, and they’ve already exceeded last year’s win total. And while that’s not saying a whole hell of a lot—two victories is an embarrassingly low mountain to overcome—let us not dwell … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs’ 2013 Record Prediction (Spolier Alert: I Don’t Have Them Winning the Super Bowl)
There’s simply no way to sugar coat horse plop: last year’s 2-14 Kansas City Chiefs were abysmal. We all know this, and we all know why. Godawful quarterback play. A worthless coach. Players failing to play to their potential. Players … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs’ Preseason Comes to Merciful Conclusion
Even though it’s a thousand degrees and may not officially feel like it, football season is here. The Kansas City Chiefs trounced the Green Bay Packers last night (putting up 30 points, even—their most in a preseason contest since 2003), … Continue reading
Leftridge: Chiefs Taking This ‘Offseason Thing’ Way Seriously
According to my kick-ass KCC Tipsters—aka, a graphic I saw on KMBC Channel 9—Kansas City Chiefs’ new season ticket sales are up an impressive 112% from last year and renewals up 5. As the free-agent signing period chugs along, the … Continue reading
