Reid says Mahomes feels as though he let everyone down. Being your own worst critic is not unusual. It’s why Mahomes has achieved so much. He’s been the lynchpin of the franchise’s greatest run of success & one of the best eras in NFL history. He didn’t let me down. #chiefs

That 4th down decision may have cost the Chiefs the season. A ridiculous call by Andy Reid. #chiefs

IMO the Liverpool board has to back the manager. Salah gave them no choice. If Slot is fired because Mo is angry, the power balance is out of whack. #LFC

I’ve been willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Arne Slot. But after this debacle at Leeds, FSG doesn’t have a choice entering the busy holiday schedule. They need to make a move before the CL and top half are gone. #LFC

Everybody exhale. #LFC

It seems Bluesky is the place posts go to die. Hardly any interaction with my last few. Maybe they were just boring but will probably spend less time here. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s weird after being a Chiefs fan for more than 50 years & enduring decades of terrible teams & tough playoff losses, they’re such a focus of derision even hate. Sometimes made it hard to enjoy the success. But I’m grateful for this amazing run. Guess it’s like being a Patriots fan 20 years ago.

September 2013. November 2017. The Chiefs & Cowboys have played only 12 times & I was there for 2 of them. Will be watching from home today, wishing my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving & hoping for a KC win. #ChiefsKingdom

Me I think after what he did in year one. Slot has earned the right to figure this mess out at Liverpool & turn it around. Knee jerk reactions is what has tanked so many clubs. Instability is not a solution.

Thought KC was toast after the Hunt fumble. Happy to be monumentally wrong. But the reality is every game from now on is a playoff game for the Chiefs. A tall task.

Well that’s that. The Chiefs are done and dusted but it was fun while it lasted.

This Colts offense looks a lot like the Chiefs offense used to look. 🙄

Probably sounds hyperbolic but this is the most important start for Mahomes since the Super Bowl. Another loss and the playoffs are gone IMO. #chiefskingdom

The epic collapse of Liverpool is one of the most perplexing downfalls in recent Premier League history. How could a team that was as consistently good & dependable a year ago, be so abysmal now. Genuinely shocked. #YNWA

Having been a Chiefs fan since 1972, you have some idea of the pain experienced before 2020. I’ve enjoyed this run immensely & know it would come to an end. That time may be here but I’ll never be anything but a member of #ChiefsKingdom Mount up.

During @ronsexsmith.bsky.social wonderful show last night, he invited Melanie Doane on stage with her ukulele. They started playing “Sunny” when Ron suddenly suggested “we need some kids.” About 150 scampered down the aisles, ukuleles in hand & joined in. A tonic at the end of a hard week.

Since the end of the game, an awful lot of folks are saying the Chiefs and Bills will see each other again. In case they haven’t noticed, Denver is 7-1, LA is 6-3 & KC is 5-4. If we want to see Buffalo in the playoffs, Pat & the boys have to get busy winning or get busy dying.

Liverpool has stopped the bleeding. A solid performance against a team that won 4 on the bounce. Slot went with a group that was almost entirely the regular 11 from last year. Still work to do but signs of a potential turnaround. #LFC

Mo Salah having his best game of the season. Maybe the fire is back. #LFC

The CC is a nuisance in an already crowded schedule. Yeah another loss sucks but it’s 5 fewer games they’ll have to play.The doomsayers will go ballistic after another loss but they’re missing the bigger picture IMO. The Reds are in a battle for the top four & CL. That’s where the focus should be.

Conflicted about today’s match. A loss would create even more panic but a win would stop the bleeding a bit & keep hopes of a trophy (yeah even the Carabao Cup) alive. Plus another loss to Palace after the community shield & that last minute PL game might turn the Eagles into the Reds bogeyman. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Chemistry in sports is a special formula. Liverpool had it last year but not now. There’s been a death in the family. A host of departures. New personalities with new talent but young & unfamiliar with the city, the league & each other. This project is long term. Patience.

If Liverpool wanted to make Mo Salah disappear, they couldn’t do much better than moving him inside and putting Bradley on his spot. The King was almost invisible in the first half.

5 goals, big performances from Ekitike and Wirtz. Just the kind of game to lift the gloom enveloping Liverpool these days. The Reds aren’t dead yet. The challenge for Slot is to build on it and make the hard calls on the lineup. #YNWA

Maybe I’m an outlier here but it’s only October & Liverpool is 4 points out of first. 4!! Other than Arsenal perhaps, no roster has more talent. Repeating as champions is hard & there are issues. But Slot didn’t suddenly become a bad manager. Take a Valium & keep the faith. #YNWA

On the dog walk in the neighbourhood Friday night, ran into a couple & their dog. After the usual pet patter, found out they’d just moved into their new Toronto home that day after driving from San Francisco. The husband who’s in the green energy industry, joked “we’re defecting.” 🇨🇦

I’ve been proudly part of a Jewish family for more than 40 years. My late mother in law called me her adopted Jewish son. Wishing my wife & her extended family (mine too) a good fast on Yom Kippur, this most solemn day in the Jewish calendar. A day of reflection, renewal & hope.

The 37 points against the Ravens is the most in a regular season game by the Chiefs since they scored 41 against Chicago on September 24th 2023 - nearly 2 years ago. Felt longer than that. #chiefsravens #chiefskingdom

The reports of the Chiefs death have been greatly exaggerated. Mahomes with 4 TD passes.Spags D suffocated Lamar & King Henry. A huge statement victory made bigger by the Chargers loss. There will be a race in the AFC West.

So much of the Chiefs season wrapped up in that opening drive. Nice plays, mistakes, penalties, points yes but opportunities squandered. #chiefskingdom

Liverpool is 5 and 0. They’ve played 3 games in 7 days and won them all. They are still In a “get to know you” phase. Isak is some time from 90 minutes. All in all, the Reds are on a mighty roll.

The Chiefs have set the bar high - especially on offense - for nearly a decade. When they fail to match those standards, the immediate reaction is often, panic. It’s the first half of the season opener. Let’s take a Valium & see what transpires. #ChiefsKingdom  #chiefsvschargers

Palace may now have a problem in the locker room. An unhappy player, probably some teammates who won’t like how this went down and a coach who may have alienated himself and undermined his own leadership. Not to mention, Guehi can leave for free at the end of the season. 🤔 #YNWA

Here’s my view on the FSG & Edwards’s long term strategic plan. Isak replaces Mo. Leoni/Guehi replaces VVD/Konate. Ekitike replaces Diaz, Kerkez for Robbo, Frimpong for Trent. Wirtz is the centrepiece. I know obvious but it’s clear that FSG want a club that will be competitive for a decade.

My biggest takeaway from the Liverpool victory? That the right back provided exquisite passes, tough but smart defense and an “out of this world” goal from a free kick. And it wasn’t Trent. It was The Rad Hungarian, Dominik Szoboszlai. Absolutely stellar. #LIVARS #YNWA

It took 8 games for Liverpool to surrender 4 goals last season. It’s taken them 2 this year. Fix the leaks at the back or be pummeled by Arsenal. #YNWA

One helluva quote from Arne Slot.

Fabulous package arrived today from a European friend who is a huge 🇨🇦 @LFC fan like me. The program is from May’s final Liverpool match honouring the champs. The scarf is from Klopp’s farewell match in 2024. The first was stolen in the mail but my pal found another. Just brilliant! #YNWA

@colinmochrie.bsky.social hey Colin thanks for the follow and happy to see you here. Hope all is well!
