We're down to one of our last Fridays with NFL football on the horizon. The AFC and NFC Championship games are on Sunday and then the Super Bowl is two weeks after that. Football is almost over.

And now we're to the victory of the week. Make sure you give us your victory of the week in the comments.

My victory of the week is an easy one - a friend went through surgery on Monday and it was a success. Gotta be happy with that. What's your victory of the week?

time to get loaded

All Win

I must be loaded already

I see a pic of a kid on this post with a Thomas jones caption

VOTW

Well, I found this drunk LSU fan and decided to unzip my pants and….

wait, that wasn’t me.

VOTW....

Consumed 2 bottles of single malt scotch and around 12 cigars….still have another bottle to get through tomorrow.

u just getting warmed up right
ohh...friday nights are nothing

I have my own personal deadlines to work towards….still have to beat skyrim before ME3 comes out!

I have a friend 170 hours into that mess and still has barely put a dent into it.
180 hours...level 52

Still have a bunch of side quests to get through and plenty of locations to clear

Safe to say you dont have ADD

I understand the drinking and smoking now. ha!

I drink and smoke because I like to

and because it makes me look cool.

It keeps the mosqitoes away too.

Way better than a bug light.

Wait a second here.

So your friday night consists of two bottles of single malt, a bunch of good cigars, and skyrim all night?

Go ahead and email me the address, I’ll hop on the next flight outta LAX.

That was the whole week....

But that would make for a bitchin friday night.

That makes more sense. 12 cigars and 2 bottles of single malt in a single night would be quite the challenge for one person

Interesting side note, I find that certain alcohols make great character names on Skyrim. I’m thinking when I give the game a second play through, I’ll create a Altmer named Laphroaig (currently rocking an Imperial name Gulden Draak, such a great belgian beer).

Not bad idea

I am on my second character named Camacho…a redguard. First character I abandoned at level 12 once i realized how the game worked.

President Camacho?

or so named for Camacho cigars?

Could go either way.

I think the cigars came before the President.

Second time through?
Betcha can't play just once.
Betcha my better half can't endure me playing twice.
Ok, then this was made for you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmRCMuopW9g&feature=player_embedded

Hillarious.
I am on stage 7

I never had a wife/gf to lose though so its all good.

I'm at stage 8

listening to youtube metal covers of the Skyrim soundtrack during the day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDE2VQzghp4

I thought stage 8 was downloading the Skyrim soundtrack off of itunes and listening to it while you sleep?
no, that was 5

loved that metal cover btw sudden

I usually drink rum with my cigars now

ever since Jake at the Occidental Cigar Bar in San Francisco turned me onto it.

Me: what kind of single malts do you have?
Jake: You gonna smoke a cigar?
Me: Uh yeah. duh – this is a cigar bar
Jake: Lemme ask you a question – do they grow any tobacco in Scotland
Me: Uh. no.
Jake: Where’s the best cigar leaf grown?
Me: Cuba?
Jake: Right. do they may any scotch there?
Me: I doubt it
Jake: What is the primary achohol in Cuba?
Me: Rum?
Jake: Right – why don’t try some Rum tonite then?

he set me up with 4 different shots and I’ve hooked ever since. I like the sweetness of Pyrat XO Reserve, and at $35 a bottle it’s way cheaper than Macallan Scotch.

Ha!

I rum is nice with a good cigar. But I do love my scotch!

That is still an impressive week.

chiefsandcigars is definitely more manly than me.

I could maybe pull that off if I was on vacation for the week, and the moon was full, but I’d really have to man up. I know I’d crater if I had to go into the work every morning.

Victory of the week and year!

Got my damn Jeep running without throwing any wrenches throuh the shop window, due to the frustration of working on any vehicle post 1980! Computers do not necessarily make our live’s easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe ArrowheadHunter will let me get loaded with him!

Hell yes fully loaded

I have trail rated a couple jeeps in my day

" Football is almost over."

VOTW? Football is never over.

non VOTW no oc or dc named in kc yet

VOTW! Dispelling the Myths of Haley's Mental Disorder....................
Ha

can we have an Offensive Coordinator

Puppy finds Haley's bug...........

one more time
ok

What's up Holmes...give me some skin...lol
Haha!

That’s cool

What if RGIII rips up the offseason workouts and the Colts pick him first overall?

Could they possibly pass up on Luck and Manning in the same year?

No way

They tanked the whole season for Luck

Who did?

The GM who was fired? The head coach who was fired? Or all the players who were all trying to keep their jobs and/or play for their next contract?

There was no tanking.

They were just bad and didn’t have the coaching or talent to overcome their Manninglessness.

I think the clearing house was to just get a clean slate....and get rid of the Manning-ites............

……………..IMO Luck is too perfect a fit for replacing Peyton. I can’t remember a better transition situation.

Irsay was talking about him today when asked if they were going to take a QB

If you were starting over and your owner and GM wanted to go a completely different way maybe RGIII is the pick if he lives up to expectations in the offseason.

Just saw this...........

Colts will talk to Childress

Oh My

He is coaching tomorrow

Did anyone else see the Fox Sports news on Peyton Manning's allegedly retiring?

of course the source was a tweet from Rob Lowe, of all people. It seems more likely to me that this is a “Farve retirement” so he can walk from the Colts and play somewhere else next year.

VOTW

2 cases of beer
3 fifths of alcohol
2 cases of wine coolers for the ladies

ALL FREE

Free ladies?

That’s a good deal.

The liquor was free

still negotiating the ladies

don't run out of alcohol before the negotiations are done
The more alcohol

the better the negotiations. The better the negotiations go, I’ll have a new VOTW

VOTW

I took the jeopardy online contestant exam. Fail OTW is how I did on it I think. But either way, we’ll find out. I’ll be doing this again in years to come. I must get on that show.

I love Jeopardy!

I dominate my wife at that show…we keep score and everything.

haha

Your sig is great.

Good luck with the Jeopardy gig. You’re a lot smarter than I.

Jermichael Finley

just tweeted that Philbin is going to be HC of Dolphins. Did anyone else know this???

Let me guess

Clements will be their OC…

Come on Crennel get him first!

clement was in kc once before, as a player and coach
I think Clements will just move up to OC in GB

Philbin going anywhere was the worst thing that could happen for any team wanting Clements.

My VOTW

Eric Church hit his first #1 on country billboards!!

Syracuse and Murray State still undefeated!!

I really like Eric Church as well.

Helps that is newest album is titled “Chief”

Watching Scott Pioli on TCM

Excellent Movie

So has he ordered Muir to leave One Arrowhead Drive?
Bought him Flowers
VOTW

Last night I participated in a wings eating contest at a local bar. I was asked by the local radio station hosting the event just the day before if I would be interested in entering. I had no clue what I was getting into and had no prior experience in “competitive” eating. I ended up winning the entire competition. If I knew how to post photos I would post one of me and my face covered in wing sauce.

Here's ya some nice shoes for when it rains, LC.

I'm speechless
Then my work here is done.
No your not!

Your searching on eBay woman!! Don’t lie ;)

Darn I was hoping that they would come in green.
The black ones look the best
Racist.
I thought Daffy Duck would like the orange ones........

for his girlfriend

Well my pops went under surgery this morning...

He tore his rotator cuff last month and they just now are getting this all done. In the process they a.) tore his bicep tendon losing the tendon into his arm, or b.) the bicep tendon was already torn when he fell.

Anyways he got out of surgery at 12:30 your time, and seems to be doing alright… This is the second time that he has had this done(opposite shoulder, and bicep) in the past couple years.

(The best Victory of the Week that I can come up with is that I have been Nominated for another Academic Award.{Pinnacle Graduate Award})

Congrats on your award and I hope your dad recovers well
I was just nominated... didn't win the award.

I’ve maintained a 3.9 GPA in my graduate work… they require a 3.4 so I should be a shoe in.

Congrats and strength and healing to your dad.
VOTW: passed test 2 of many!

Test in evidence collection & crime scene photography! Now a beer in celebration and a deep inhale exhale:

Up next Death Block: study of how people die: saw an autopsy video today, really cool stuff yet really warped….

So, now you can find Haley's bug!
Not just quite yet... I saw one on the tv

Didnt witness one… BIG difference. But I got an idear where his bug may/may not be at…. Up his rectum

Bought Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded and I must say

that it is awesome.

Raider Fans

Speaking of which

I went to the Raiders game at Arrowhead, and Raiders fans are the one group that absolutely lives up to the stereotype. Every. Single. One.

My Victory of the Week

Was a negative pregnancy test.

Cheers!!!

Quick piece of advice from a paratrooper:

Don’t jump without your parachute! Or a reserve!! ;)

Spoken

like a true jumper

I may be a green horn by most comparisons BUT

Feet and knees baby.. Feet and knees let em hold together in the breeze!

VOTW - Just eFiled my 2011 Taxes

All of the college financial aid stuff for my college bound daughter is due this month and they all require tax return info. The good news is I’m done; the better news is we’re getting a little money back; the best news is we’re also done the the 18 page financial aid forms (in really poorly written html I might add – they really need to hire some code slingers to clean up the mess).

I can’t compete with chiefsandcigars – only half a bottle of cabernet and a mini-macanudo to get me through the Fed and State returns (it’s raining cats and dogs out & I’m married so don’t get to smoke inside).

I am waiting on all my crap to get here

So ready to get tax time over with

My daughter seriously freaked out when I told her W-2's don't usually go out until Feb

Then I figured out how to download it from our online system electronically so was able to get it today.

I am trying to get my W-2

online but for some reason my info ain’t working. First time ever filing.

Where from?
w2express
Good luck

Before my taxes got too complex, I used to use my last paycheck of the year. Now I thank my stars for e-filing or I’d be curled up in a fetal position sucking my thumb, crying.

Amen.

Every year I dread it but then it seems to go easier than I expect with TurboTax.

Our IT folks set up our system so we can download an electronic w-2 early from our payroll system.

The folks that still want theirs mailed have to wait until February.

Victory of the week...

next week is another opportunity to experience a victory.

Optimism at its best!
My VOTW

Is that I fianlly bought War Room after months of putting it off.

when is thomas jones going to fall down in that pic .
when the season ended

he fell down on his couch

VOTW

It’s Friday night. The week is over. The wife’s gone to the casino. The kid’s in bed. I’m sipping scotch. Not too bad!

tell her to put it all on 36 black its a winner all the time
I'd get my finger bit if I tried to tell her how to gamble :)
what does she normal play poker, slots, craps
she plays high limit slots

usually the $5. She pretty much kills it. Not for me man. I get snake bit.

will it be orton, cassel RG 3 or peyton manning playing qb for the chiefs come week 1 this season

whats your guess.???

Orton

He needs work these days I hear

Stanzi!
He's intriguing

but we better get him some serious blocking first. I don’t wanna see another KC QB with a screwed up head.

Rt. rt rt rt rt rt rt

Did I mention RT

for the love of God

YES!

i hope u are wrong

orton my guess unless manning gets released and is healthy

I hope I'm wrong too

Orton would actually make me mildly happy. I could care less about RG3 because it’s never gonna happen. Peyton Manning would straight up give me chubb.

i don't think the colts will pay the 28 mill to manning

i think he gets released and comes to kc possiblly if healthy

He won't come here

He would only go to a winner. Which has not described us for awhile. Harsh, but that’s my gut feeling.

I disagree with that

We’re close. Damn close. He could be the difference. Only going to a winner is gonna price him out of the market because most winners are already set at QB.

I really would love to see him.

But I just don’t see it. Unless he thinks Romeo can produce with what he has. I know we have weapons on offense for him to play with, but I think Peyton would want to see the whole picture. I know we are close, as a fan, but I am not sure Peyton would see us that way. Remember the Eli draft thing? Who knows what the manning clan thinks of the chiefs.

Why not?

As far as the whole picture goes, we have a really nice up and coming defense. On offense, we have some great weapons for him to work with. Plus we have money to pay him appropriately. It’s not like the entire thing would be on him. I’d think that would be pretty damn sexy.

I don't know

I just can’t see it. Maybe I am just too pessimistic. I remember the whole Eli situation, and I got the feeling that Archie. And the family have a lot to do with what happens in that clan. I can’t say exactly why I think feel like this. But I just can’t see him coming. Plus, Peyton only runs one offense, the old Minnesota gophers offense, slash bills offense. Who’s to say that our personnel fits what he thinks he would need to run that offense. And who’s to say the chiefs want to run that offense. Don’t know just saying.

If a team has "the whole picture"

then they won’t be needing Peyton Manning.

I only see double at this point

Which picture are we talking about.

Presumably, he will only go to a great team.

Or at least that’s the theory being proffered above.

I don't even know about great,

But certainly a short term turnaround.and one willing to cater to his wishes. I guess I am just not sure we are that team with what pioli is cooking.

Chiefs were in the playoffs last year.

And were one game away from the playoffs this year, despite absolutely terrible QB play most of the year. And that was with some of their best players injured for the year.

and a serious coaching fiasco

I’m telling you, this team is close!

Even without Manning.

If they get a good OC, they’re set up for a nice run next year. I’m certainly not obsessed with Manning. I’d be happy with Orton.

This OC situation is getting annoying

Even manning couldnt succeed with a new OC ever year.

At least there's a good excuse this year.

New head coach and all. Hopefully Romeo will get someone who will stick around for awhile.

peyton knows all about romeo crennal

i think they both would work good with each other

Romeo has

Given Peyton fits over the years. Who knows, maybe he would say if you can’t beat em, join em!

we could use some.......

agreed

I’m hoping we start seeing internal succession plans on the coaching staff a-la Pittsburg. We need serious stability on both sided of the ball.

Haley talked a lot about that.

Developing your own coaches, so you can promote from within. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the guy to see it through.

yeah well

the GM needs to be the one talking like that IMO

Except

most head coaches hire their own staffs. It should be encouraged by the GM, though.

The Chiefs won a year ago.
It's a tough call

if they bail on him, then he has physical problems and that sucks. If he can go, I don’t see why KC wouldn’t be a good place for him considering other teams out there in need of a good QB.

the chiefs as u know are a good qb away from a super bowl run

manning will strongly consider kc. How great would it be to have an offense that can win games as well as DE that can shut down or limit teams on offense.

and don't forget

the Chiefs have money to burn

we need to encourage clark to burn some more
sadly

I fear he might be holding out until 2013 when he HAS to

I am starting to think

Yu could be right. At least a little.

I will bet the house that if manning comes to kc clark will have a packed house on sundays at arrowhead.

season tickets would go threw the roof at arrowhead

oh shit

you got that right. Remember Montana?

I still have a shrine

In my basement

with candles?
do u have montana jersey
I want one in the worst way

He is the reason I am a Chiefs fan.

hahaha!

that’s foul!

my big memory was montana beating the oilers in the playoffs when buddy ryan put a bounty on montana

playoffs 93

Elway vs Montana

monday night football, best game ever!

Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes that 2 i was there lost my voice for 2 weeks

finally beat the donkeys in denver

wade phillips was the coach of the donkeys

kimble anders played big in that game

I miss Kimble anders
Actually I miss FBs that meant something
I miss having one of the best teams to root for
montana didn't have great wr back then
nope

didn’t matter. Dink and dunk all up and down the field. I have no problem winning games like that.

yeap willie davies was the man at wr
C'mon jj birden?

What’s not to love?

hahaha

willie davis and jj birden. Yeah baby! We was ballin’!

and Lake Dawson
wasn't he considered for the Chicago GM spot or something like that?
yes

i like john alt at LT

Dave Szott
yes lady chief

tim grunhard at center. coaching for weis now at kansas

Grunhard, nuff said
big dan salueamulia
Ahhh

Those were the days, hnt been the same since

big dan drove a cement truck before kc signed him

he was out of football for awhile

Now I envy you

Thst game was awesome. I remember thinking, I should root for this team, they win games when they really should not. Montana was the key.

montana went 80 yards in about 1.48 seconds on the clock to win it

montana just dinked and dunked all the way down the field.

I get all excited just thinking about it

Kinda like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

Remember

Keith Cash catching that touchdown and spiking the ball in the face of that buddy ryan banner? Glorious!

beautiful
don't forget marcus allen to ice it
And incense and such

The was THE MAN, Elway be damned!

I still have my Hail To The Chief t-shirt
these are the situation clark understands money return on investment

sign peyton take 4 brinks trucks to the bank or don’t get manning and take 2 brinks trucks to the bank

If the chiefs got manning don't u think bowe would want to come back to kc

bowe would have a legit qb to get him the ball. all thought orton i think will do a decent job.

Hells yes!

I think if Orton came back that would be enough for Bowe.

Not to ruin the fun but

it be funny if we picked up Manning the day after Bowe signed with another team.

That would be about average

For this franchise

Haha

cold blooded. There’d be a whole lot of shit talkin’ around here.

Peyton

would probably make Colbert look like a Pro Bowler.

How nice would it be to see the chiefs up 21 to start the 4th quarter

instead of having your heart in your stomach every week in the 4th quarter; Manning brings fire power to the offense. Instead of relying on the de to win the offense can win games by themselves.

It would be nice...

to win more then 3 playoff games in the next 42 years! :-/

yeah i know we got some chief fans who probably never have seen one playoff win

that is truely sad and an embarrassment.

I still can't understand...

why we only have 3? Montana with 2 and DeBerg with 1! Everyone else has been shut out of playoff wins since SB 4! You are correct! TRULY Sad!

35 mill the colts wil pay to keep manning

i will be shocked if they keep him

damn that's a lot of cheese

sorta makes you feel sorry for Luck. Can you imagine following that act?

yeah that much cheese for the same position with luck which will be about 15 mill payout for luck
Manning will be released before March 8th.
Watching DIY network

Just love that channel. Mike Holmes is the man!

Holmes on Homes
Serious man crush

I have to say. He knows his shit.

He's on HGTV too.

But he’s better on DIY.

When I grow up

I too want to spray foam everything in sight

Ha!

That stuff is pretty cool.

You ever watch Food Network?

Nope

I am already overweight. That would be like feed a crack addiction

Reminds me of a new show called Fat Chefs.

(I think) it’s like a weight-loss program for obese chiefs. In the promo, one of them says something to that effect, about being around their addiction all the time.

Paula Deen annoys me
Not really familiar with her.

I like that show called Restaurant Impossible.

nebraska furniture mart commercial
Is that who his crew works for?
would you throw a turkey at her if she gave you one?
yes
My bad.

I guess it was a ham

Or this........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST01bZJPuE0

Haha. I remember that episode

Jesus H. Look at their clothes. Makes me feel old.

I know the feeling
"Make it right!"

Does he do football??..

I'll be he would make a great gm.

We would have over production at all positions. Four support beams in each desk, etc…..

He would probably spend money too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, DIY would be spending the money!
I was thinking...

Warren Buffett

I always wonder where the money comes from on that show.x

As much as he spends, it cant all come from the network can it?

The homeowners pay for a lot of it.
Wow

His spray foam bill alone would kill me.

I'll bet a lot of those guys do free labor.

So they just have to pay for materials.

Man I hope so

What else is there to do in Canada.

Did you see

the house he did in the L.A. area? Had to have all kinds of extra stuff put in for earthquakes. Looked like the added cost would be enormous.

I have not yet.

I am still working through all the episodes. But the man is the man, there’s no denying. But my grandpa would think he was extravagant. But then again, grandpa would not spend money at all, depression era child and all.

He'd replace all the grass in Arrowhead

With turf and all the blades facing the same direction. Or a really nice tile job!

All seats would have built-in heating.
But only with the orange stuff underneath it
And really good drainage
Glue it and screw it!
Watching some youtube on the big screen

Thanks x-box live app :)

Its about time.

Discovery channel has finally come out with the “worlds toughest truckers”. I was getting so sick of those Ice Road Pussies.

I may have to watch NFL pundit Rob Lowe

in the new Drew Peterson movie tomorrow.

Could he be much worse that Dierdork?
Not even.
Aikman?
Not even.
How about..........

Aikman and Dierdork together?

With Simms
Simms used to be my favorite.

He’s been annoying lately, though.

If we got Manning..

Indy got Luck…In a playoff game at Arrowhead…All offense. They win in a shootout. I might hang myself……

No way Indy makes the playoffs with luck

Manning was their only weapon

you are joking right?

Remember this Chandoler Harnish. Could be a steal in the 5th round
