KFFL: Time running out for Larry Johnson and the Kansas City Chiefs?
|
 Is the future of running back Larry Johnson with the Kansas City Chiefs going to be determined soon?
According to The Kansas City Star’s Adam Teicher,
it could be as early as Wednesday. The outcome of Johnson’s grievance
hearing with the team could set the tone for his future with the
organization. Also, according to the Kansas City Star, Johnson just pleaded guilty Friday afternoon to two counts of disturbing the peace.
Guaranteed money to the tune of $3.75 million is what is at issue in
the grievance, as the Chiefs claim the one-game suspension Johnson was
given by the NFL last year is a breach of contract for violation of the
league’s personal-conduct policy. Johnson’s contract calls for
guaranteed payments of $3.5 million this year and $250,000 in 2010. The
Chiefs must pay them regardless of whether or not LJ plays for them
since it is guaranteed in the contract. Continue reading... |

Chiefs running back pleads guilty in night club incidents
|
 Chiefs running back Larry Johnson pleaded guilty this afternoon to
two counts of disturbing the peace in connection with separate
incidents involving women at Kansas City night clubs last year. A
Kansas City Municipal Court judge sentenced Johnson to two years of
probation but suspended imposition of the sentence. If Johnson
completes probation without further incidents, the guilty plea will be
removed from his public record. Authorities originally charged him with two counts of assault but reduced both charges today to disturbing the peace. In
entering his plea, Johnson admitted the city had enough evidence to
convict him. Therefore, city prosecutors did not have to call witnesses
or present other evidence. The charges stemmed from two incidents last year. In
the first on Feb. 24, 2008, a 26-year-old woman alleged that Johnson
shoved her on the side of the head inside a club in the 3800 block of
Main Street. Continue reading...

Chiefs like Matt Cassel’s passion for football
|
 New Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel has often been compared with Tom Brady [stats], if for no other reason than they were both low-round draft picks by the New England Patriots [team stats] and teammates for four seasons.
After watching Cassel on video and working with him for almost a
month, Chiefs coach Todd Haley offers a different veteran quarterback
comparison.
"I just came off two years of working with one of the best guys I’ve
ever been around in Kurt Warner," said Haley, who as Arizona’s
offensive coordinator coached Warner the last two seasons. "In ’best
guys,’ I mean guys that are into football, like to talk about football.
It’s not about much else for Kurt Warner. This Matt Cassel feels and
acts a lot the same way. He is football 24/7 to the point where I’ve
had to pull back the reins on him a couple of times and say, ’Listen,
Matt. These next couple of months are about getting in shape and
getting your body ready for the season. There’s time enough for
football.’ Continue reading... |

Snyder: Todd Haley Already Loves Matt Cassel
|
 Last year at this time, Todd Haley and Matt Cassel
were thousands of miles apart. Haley was the offensive coordinator for
a Cardinals team who had yet to make themselves relevant in recent
history. Cassel was the anonymous backup to NFL sweetheart Tom Brady in New England. After
both enjoyed very successful seasons in 2008, however, they became
high-profile acquisitions by the Chiefs. Now working together in
offseason conditioning exercises, head coach Haley has been extremely
impressed with Cassel. So impressed, he's comparing him to a certain former quarterback of his. One who has garnered plenty of accolades in his career. Continue reading... |

JockLife: Scott Pioli in Denver - LJ and Cassel for Cutler and Scheffler?
|
According to an undisclosed source, new General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, Scott Pioli, was in Denver, CO yesterday.
Implications abound as to why Pioli would have been in the Mile High City. Was he just stopping by on his way back to Kansas City from the league meetings that took place in Dana Point, CA to say hi to an old colleague of his in Josh McDaniels? Was he just refueling the team’s private jet and had some time to kill with a lunch?
Regardless, Pioli was in Denver for an extended amount of time yesterday. The extended amount of time was enough for him to land at Centennial Airport and venture off the tarmac. The airport is a stones throw away from the Denver Broncos headquarters at Dove Valley in Englewood, CO. Correct information on whether Pioli's plane did indeed land at Centennial are not clear at this time.

RIGHT NOW: NCAA Tournament Coverage Chiefs' Throwback Uniforms Create Controversy
|
For three games this season, the Chiefs will have a picture of Texas on their helmets.
The Chiefs have announced that the NFL has given the team permission to
wear replicas of their original uniforms and helmets from the club's
'62 AFL Championship season during three select games this season.
The idea is already causing some controversy online. Some Chiefs fans are not thrilled with the idea of Texas on the helmet.
But, Chiefs' blogger Nick Sloan disagrees. He writes, "This is the
history of the league and everyone's doing it. The Tennessee Titans are
putting on Houston Oilers gear. The Denver Broncos are wearing some
atrocious brown uniforms." He said save the angst for game time
performances.
The Chiefs, originally founded as the Dallas Texans, will wear their
"throwbacks" along with the seven original American Football League
members as the franchises join to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of
Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt's creation of the AFL.

SD Union-Tribune: Feeling unwanted in San Diego, Goff signs with Kansas City
|
|
Mike Goff will have a chance to continue his starting streak in Kansas City.
“It's nice to be at a place where you know you're wanted,” Goff said Wednesday after returning to San Diego for a few days.
The free agent right guard, who started every game in five seasons with the Chargers, received a two-year, $3.5 million contract from the Chiefs.
The Chiefs have needs in the interior of their offensive line, and there is even talk of putting him in the mix at center.
While stressing he is focusing on the good times he had as a Charger, Goff clearly leaves San Diego with a bitter taste, a resentment at how his time ended.
Despite numerous injuries, Goff, 33, has started 113 straight games, including in the playoffs, and he was perplexed that the Chargers made no attempt to re-sign him.
