Wish me luck, I’ve been left to guard the purse while my wife goes to the powder room, and a few of the MFs in here have been eyeing it up like they may take a shot.

I read that if a cat “slow blinks” at you it means they love you and that no one knows what “no blinking” means because all the researchers died in the process of trying to find that out.

Spent hours today hanging pictures & setting up Chiefs lights & displays. This is my home office, where I pretty much don’t get anything done except sitting around thinking about the Chiefs & fist-bumping myself for the courage to spend all my retirement money on Chiefs stuff.

Lots of people hate it, but I’d be fine with Chiefs playing on Christmas Day every year. It would be nice to have something to look forward to after working all night on Christmas Eve. Plus, a handy excuse to get away from my dumbass elves for 3 1/2 hours or so.

I’m pissed. Discovered that my Chiefs Insider+ “elite, AI-powered” draft simulator supposedly built in-house by my team is just three liquored up guys from my analytics dept screwing around with a Magic 8 Ball. So, basically, no better than all of the other draft simulators.

Our family is having a huge watch party for the final episode of White Lotus, and everyone has to dress up as a character. We drew straws to see who has to come as Saxon and Lochlan Ratliff.☠️☠️☠️

Expired Williams Sonoma peppermint bark on sale at a massive discount? Hell yes, if I’m going to die today I can’t think of a better way to go.

Chiefs Insider+ is taking mock drafts to a whole new level as we unveil our AI-based, state-of-the-art simulator, giving you an unrivaled drafting experience. My 1st Chiefs mock using this tool netted: 1 Abdul Carter 2 Travis Hunter 3 Ashton Jeanty 3 Mason Graham 4 Tyler Warren

Last night I began my re-watch of the 2023 postseason, starting with the WC game vs. the Dolphins. Rashee Rice & Isiah Pacheco were wired, turbo energized. A healthy Pacheco & Rice in 2025, to go with Hollywood & Xavier (& maybe another RB too) is going to be beyond lit.

A little secret about me is that I invented many of the slang terms kids use now, such as “no cap.” When I was ten it was really cold one day & some kid wasn’t wearing a hat & so I said, “wow, no cap.” That one really caught on, though most kids use that one incorrectly nowadays.

Just so everyone knows, LIVie is actually a sweet, loving cat. She only bites me. My wife said cats have an innate sense of who “has it coming.”

When the J6 & 2A people descend on Washington to get answers about why their grandma lost her social security.

Mark my words, banning the nose wipe celebration is the beginning of the end for the NFL—No Fun League. (Many of my friends who are Bloods have already cancelled their Sunday Ticket subscription, suck on that Goodell!).

Took this at Arrowhead after Chiefs beat Colts in the 2018 divisional round. Colts, for decades, had haunted us like demons. Patrick performed an exorcism that night. Yeah, we lost the next weekend, but the shift was undeniable. Something was different. Chiefs were on their way.

I love thinking about Chiefs beating Indy in the 2018 div round. Everything was new, fresh. We appreciated Chiefs in a way that we’ve started to lose—we’re so used to winning that now it’s just “meeting an expectation” more than bringing joy. How can we get back to that pure joy?

“Day 2 of me asking why daddy replaced my beloved rickety old crappy cat tree with a goddam expensive brand-new amazing five foot tall cat tree that daddy stayed up all night building.”

The most helpless feeling in the world is when you hear your cat retching in the next room and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it except hope someone else volunteers to clean it up.

There’s 5 little kids always near my house playing football, tag, hide&seek etc; one day they rang the doorbell asking if they could “please have snacks b/c they’re hungry.” I was overjoyed to feed those little MFs. Our grocery list now has “snacks for the kids” & it’s the BEST.

I think we should sign a bunch of really good players on vet minimum 1-year prove-it deals for a chance to win a ring. Do it Veach!

Ouch. Republican Representative Tom Barrett held a tele-town hall with his constituents in his swing district in Michigan on Monday and ran a survey asking if they support DOGE. 70% of the participants said they do not.

Veach told me at our weekly breakfast meeting that he’s completely exhausted, he evaluates FAs & negotiates contracts all day, then stays up all night combing through social media to get a feel for what fans want him to do. Hardest working GM in football.

I don’t envy Veach. Has the nearly impossible job of keeping roster young, managing cap, ensuring we’re always competitive. Keeping enough experience while injecting enough youth. Retaining vets who COST but creating openings for talented youngsters on rookie deals. A Rubix cube.

Veach gets us a competent young LT, bolsters defense w/ a 3rd competent CB to join McDuffie & Watson, keeps our general on defense, adds speed at RB, re-signs Hollywood. Maybe not even done with free agency, & now has the draft to get more at RB and d-line. MF is COOKING.🔥🔥🔥

I kid about being an insider but get this: so far I’m the only one who has correctly predicted every single Chiefs re-signing & FA acquisition. I also was the only one who correctly predicted we’d fund this by restructuring contracts of existing players. So bite me, Schefter!

I’m working from home and it’s safe to say this box of peppermint bark is going to go through some stuff today.

Score! And on sale at huge discount.

If we have some extra time today we might go shopping to get another toy for our cat to reject.

I’m so sad. This bit of peppermint bark is my last link to a season I call…Christmas season. Alas, I also listened to my last Christmas song today. Time to put such things behind me as I begin the long wait for my Christmas season to begin anew, sometime in September probably.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Homemade pulled pork sliders and baked beans. Hopefully this helps take the edge off.

The Chiefs and Mahomes have shown that when they get knocked down, they get back up. With a vengeance. Can’t wait for next year.

“Paradise” on Hulu is some high quality entertainment, highly recommend.

The NFL would flourish exactly the same even if we didn’t subject Super Bowl players to dumbass questions by random dimwits during Super Bowl week. Just cut that whole bit out of the process.

When I got to my home tonight the Christmas lights were all gone, taken down by the service who put them up this fall. It’s hitting me hard. Feels like someone shot Old Yeller all over again. But on Christmas.

After every Chiefs postseason win the losing side declares “damn, we would’ve won if we had run the ball more!” Perhaps Spagnuolo’s greatest strength is his Jedi mind trick on offensive coordinators: “Those running plays aren’t the plays you’re looking for.”

I for one think it is very sweet that Nike is finally throwing a bone to those of us who own baby kangaroos.

Skeletor and Skeletor Jr. are locked in. LET’S ROCK!!!

More on Saquon. Again, he will be a LOAD. I do like it that Veach has populated our roster with DBs who will HIT. Watson, Williams, McDuffie, Cook, Reid, Hicks. None of those guys are going to give Saquon the “olé”treatment. Bolton & Tranquill not afraid of contact either.

Saquon is a huge challenge. Spags has a history of success (not perfect) against opponent’s premier rusher. This year: Henry 13/46 3.5 YPC Robinson 16/31 1.9 Kamara 11/26 2.4 Cook 9/20 2.2 Chubb 9/41 4.6 Harris 13/74 5.7 Mixon 14/57 4.1 Mixon 18/88 4.9 SB 58, held McCaffrey to 22/80 3.6 YPC

The Chiefs WR snap counts in their SB 57 win over Philly’s vaunted defense: JuJu (38), MVS (35), Justin Watson (33), Skyy Moore (14), Kadarius Toney (6). This time around KC brings Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, DHop, JuJu & Watson to the party. Advantage: Chiefs.

The Chiefs SB 57 win over Philly featured rookies Jaylen Watson, Josh Williams, George Karlaftis, Trent McDuffie, Isiah Pacheco, Bryan Cook & Leo Chenal. Those guys are all now battle-hardened vets with multiple Super Bowl runs under their belts. Advantage: Chiefs.

Saquon in playoffs, w/ the run D ranks of opponents & Saquon’s stats: 1. Packers (7th ranked, 99 YPG. 25 for 119; 4.76 YPC) 2. Rams (22nd ranked, 130 YPG. 26 for 205; 7.9 YPC) 3. Commanders (30th ranked, 136 YPG. 15 for 118; 7.9 YPC) Chiefs - 8th ranked; 102 YPG; 8 YPG from 2nd

I want this SB so bad for Spags, it ought to make him a lock for the HOF. (IMO he already should be, but a win here seals it).

My apologies, I am taking a break this week. No time for social media, got to go buy a generator, non-perishable food, water, weapons and ammo because I just heard Jeff Chadiha on the radio pick the Chiefs to beat the Eagles, so I can only assume the end of the world is upon us.

Beating Philly won’t be easy, but I’m encouraged by Pat’s performance in SB 57. Beat Eagles with Travis, JuJu, Watson, McKinnon as leading pass catchers. Now? Xavier, Hollywood, DHop (+ Travis & JuJu & Gray). Chiefs light it up. Best way to counter Saquon is score early & often.

Fresh Special K bars for the playoffs baby! 3-peat incoming!

I bet Andy plays Humphries. Andy isn’t looking for a floor good enough to beat the Texans, he’s looking for a ceiling high enough to beat the next two teams.

Ravens & Texans, like the Chiefs, got drilled with that “3 games in 11 days” death march. Chiefs of course have weeks of recovery time under their belt now. I wonder if that 3 in 11 gauntlet catches up to those other teams at some point.

Why am I optimistic? Because a physically & mentally exhausted KC team, w/ no bye & only 1 impact WR, defeated the toughest slate (by DVOA) of postseason opponents in history to win SB 58. This year? 1st round bye. DHop, Xavier, Hollywood + Hunt, with entire team fully recharged.

The Chiefs have a better team now than the one that sliced thru the toughest slate in history to win SB LVIII. DHop, Xavier, Hollywood give Andy & Patrick so many options. CJ & Travis fully recharged along with everyone else. The storm is coming, and it is going to be beautiful.
