Third Shift Open Thread

It's Thursday night. I know many of you have or will make this Thursday night one of your weekly drinking/going out nights. I'm here on our very comfortable couch at the moment, perfectly content to doze off into a deep sleep.

This is your open thread for Thursday February 9th. What are you up to this evening?

I go back to work in 5 minutes

Yay for 30 minute dinner breaks. Day off tomorrow. I hope I wake up and find out our 2 most important free agents are signed =D

Yeah, Palko and Piscatelli....watch.
And why the hell isn't there a pic of our newly acquired (by Romeo) OC, instead of Haley? Hell at least Haley watching a chick eat a hot dog.

Lmao, thats some funny shit
If that hasn't been posted on Behind the Steel Curtain.

Or whatever the steelers blog page is called, then it needs to be posted on there. I’m sure they’d get a kick out of it.

On it

I am already a member thanks to them facing both the Chiefs and Jags last year.

Well when you do

Let us know where exactly you posted it on there so we can see some responses.

Posted it in the Fanshots of course.
Those guys are complete D-Bags too.

On BCC during the week before their game against the Jaguars, every other sentence was about LA. Hopefully Khan put them in their place.

Fun Fact: Everbank stadium actually has more seats than Heinz Field but are tarpped to get it down to market size.

No, every other sentence was not about L.A. In fact, there was only one mention of it, and it was in the list of question posted in the ask thread by the ask thread author. Anything that came up after that was initiated by a Jaguars fan.

Raiders released Rout. That might help, as far as Brandon Carr isn't as exclusive.
Yeeeeeee tomorrow is Friday
Jets suck, Yankees suck, Knicks suck. Krypton sucks.
I am off today and tomorrow

and I am quite proud of my recent fanpost. I guess having two guys you work with being fans of your work is nice.

Thirsty Muthafukn Thursday
If Matt Flynn goes to cleveland how does that help our chances of moving up for RGIII?

wouldnt that make it cheaper to move up if st. louis wanted to trade the pick? cleveland seems like our worst competition if not washington, take cleveland out of the picture and that seems like a big possiblity to move up to #2 or #3 then doesnt it?

would be a real risk waiting til #3 I would hate to wait and watch that nobody jumps ahead.

just an idea any thoughts?

Not happenin

We know Chiefs are cheap. They will not even think about moving up in the draft before someone else has already beat them to it.

Tamba Hali, Flowers, Charles and DJ

would like to have a word with you. Tamba Hali is one of the highest paid players in the league. They just like to get the most for less.

They are not going to overpay Carr or Bowe especially when they could draft Blackmon or another WR or get Kirkpatrick.

If no RGIII and carr wants more than he is worth which probably will happen cause he is over rated to me im all for kirkpatrick.

anyone else see CB prince amakumaru for the giants not doing as good as the hype?

I say replace carr with CB thomas from the giants, coming off an injury might drop his price and is better than carr in my opinion.

Carr is well worth whatever money he gets, he;'s a #1 CB right along with Flowers

and the Chiefs have plenty of money to sign both Carr and Bowe, along with a couple of others in Free Agency

bring back Carr and add Soliai and we have the makings of a Top 5 Defense

Im all for that:)

And when we upgrade our o-line with DeCastro…. I’m liking 2012

Agree with that, I wish we could have a CB like Carr.

Carr and Flowers make Berry an even more lethal weapon.

I don’t understand why anyone would want to break up our defensive backfield. Chiefs have the money and Carr is worth a dollar more than anyone else wants to pay him. I’ll be pissed if they let him get away.

I say Bowe, our first and Dorsey could do it then.

Miami needs the picks so I don’t see them trading those.

Im down on bowe alot but at the end of the day he is a top 12 reciever in the league.
  1. WR’s dont just grow on trees and DGB wont be leaving missouri for a while im all for keeping bowe. Really wish baldwin would have broke out this year and showed us more it sucks jones had to mess his hand up and delay his season.
One thing about this year

is that the WR class is deep this year and CB. If Carr wants to leave we can get Kirkpatrick in the first. If Bowe asks for too much, we get Blackmon, Jefferies or McNut.

I doubt blackman falls past 5 and if we can keep bowe I dont want to spend picks to move up for blackmon.

nobody in FA is better than bowe. jefferies and mcnut dont look like #1 WR’s to me or have anywhere near the talent as bowe i would rather have broyles later than both those guys.

That is what they said

about Gabbert last year. He dropped to 10. Yes he had a bad season but look at who he had to throw to and he had a shuffling O-Line.

blackmon is the top WR he wont fall to 10 you can bank on that.
the only way blackmon falls past the redskins is

if RG3 is still there. and the draft would have to be
1 luck-IND
2 Kalil-STL
3 Reiff-Minny
4 Richardson- Cleveland
5 Claiborne- Tampa
6 RG3- Washington

Just finished reading through the last post.

Another well executed smackdown in the comments. Wish I had popcorn for that.

I was hoping for more of a "smackdown" seemed more like a cheap rick flair style smack.

WOOO.

I like those, but they are hard to keep up with
Anyone else seeing the posts from like late January on the right side?
yah, for today's you need to hit the top HOME tab

hey, they got it half fixed

Teams have to spend up to 99% of their cap, correct?

If so, there is no reason at all, that I can think of, for not signing Bowe or Carr, and franchising the other (if not sign both). The money is there and the other core players are locked up. Not signing them, or not trading for equal or greater value would pretty much end all confidence I have in Pioli’s ability to build a championship caliber team. And I have supported him a lot, but anything less than at least a playoff win just won’t cut it for me.

I think that's next year (99%)
95% next year

89% from 2013-2020.

Really Missouri, Santorum?

Srsly?

who was you hoping for? Ron Paul?
I was

:(

not trying to mix politics with sports.

but ron paul is a joke, only reason 30 and under people ( only ones who even think about voting for him ) want him is cause the idea he will make weed legal.

yeah right

some of us like libertarian ideology

thats what they all say, let me guess freedom movement? lol.

just another ross perot.

because all third party's are the same?

Attitudes like this keep us stuck in the two party circlejerk

ron paul is a racist.
Sure he is
you didnt see the newsletter his wife and daughter ran.

yet he says he had no connection? it was horrible nothing but racist remarks.

He has apologized profisely for the

They werent written with his permission, after he had gotten out of politics and went back into practicin medicine.

way to cling to the decade old single blemish on his record

That has already been discounted

Meh

Ignorance should be expected from an obomber supporter, if hes still in his pocket after all the messed up stiff hes done theres not much you can do.

well, in all fairness Pres has tried to do some things that might have helped but was stonewalled by Boehner
Tell that to Libyan children killed by American Bomb strikes

Im sure theyd love to hear about Obamas “problems” with Congress, “problems” that must not be that bad if he keeps signing the bills they give him.

Wasn't Libya involvement UN related?
Like 90% of the funding and the bombs cane from America

For all intents and purposes we are NATO.

That argument could be made.

What was the best option though? A free country with the chance of a better future, or continuing to turn a blind eye on the situation?

Were no better thenh The dictators we overthrow

How can you be a beacon of hope and liberty if you kill innocent people indiscriminantly, and replace the old regime with an even worse one?

Just leave them the fuck alone for chrissakes.

Not true

Some people believe in peace and the Constitution

most people in this country don't even know what our biggest export is...

high tech weaponry, and we need buyers… therefore we have to show potential buyers how efficient these weapons are. You think I’m full of shit… google it

I know this

SauDis just bought a bunch of military equipment from us, of course we cant say anything bad about the Saudis even though most of the 9/11 hijackers and Osama were Saudis.

Look that up.

And US was one of the few countries that refused to give up using land mines.

Horrible things left around for years to tear up kids and innocents.

Ron Paul is no more of a 'joke' than the other two candidates.
obama is going to eat them all up anyways might as well call it today and save time.
This is probably true.
Not Paul

Hed school him like he wasthe principal talking to a student

you know people will believe what they WANT to believe

look at the people right now who buy into Newt’s “born again populism” … that man’s so firmly part of the Beltway Establishment it would take surgery to pry him away

Just threaten surgrery.

He has a history of leaving when surgery is looming.

Ahaha oh that Newty Boy

How the SOTH became an outisder I have no idea, but it isnt working.

It could be worse

if that loon Bachmann was still running, we could have had her win. Damn that lady is beyond crazy.

She would have never made it through the primaries
Pay No Attention to the Man behind the Curtain

Posting from my Nook…Just logging in took 7 tries

I loved Dragon Ball Z as a kid, so I started watching Dragon Ball

And I can’t believe it’s aimed at kids. It’s really messed up.

Well in Japan, the shows are more mature
Some of these jokes are pretty funny, I feel terrible for laughing at them.
Anybody have a Final Four prediction?

I got Kentucky, Ohio State, Temple and UNLV.

Work Work Work

Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun NIGHTS

Heh!

Now that’s my fave pic of Crazy Haley. I think I have a similar look and feelings on my face a lot!

Anyone hear what Big Ben had to say about Haley?
nope, what did he say
Said he's gotten a lot of emails about him, both good and bad.

He expressed concern about Haley possibly implementing a new offense, but he said he’d reserve judgement until he’s had a chance to meet with him.

how very diplomatic of him
Hes worried about a new offense?

I guess he doesnt realize how badly Arians was doing

He just said he didn't want to start over.

He said they’d all worked too hard to get where they’re at, to start over from scratch. He didn’t sound too excited, but then I only saw the transcript.

sounds like poor Benny needs some cheese to go with that whine
He and Haley don't seem like a match made in heaven.

Both are pretty head strong. It will be interesting to see how that plays out, especially if they go through a period of struggling.

My dad says this all the time to whiners
Lol except what they worked toward was a bad offense

Haley may be exactly what Benny boy needs, it seems Arians was coddling him and The Hamburglar wants to keep his touches in the game up.

I'm sure coddling is what he wants.

Though not necessarily what he needs.

It's simple, we cut the Ben-man.
Ben actually wanted Arians to stick around
I think that's one reason he's not too excited about Haley.
Tied for 21st in Scoring

they worked hard to tie the Titans and be just below the Dolphins in scoring? Benny needs to work a little harder …

Oh Im not defending Ben or Arians

I think Ben is the most overrated QB in the league. Returning to smash mouth football and having him throw it less is probably better for him and that team

Because they moved away from smash mouth football

And started airing it out more

Yeah, Rooney wants to return to their roots.
Todd is just the man to do that

And Benjamin Button will pout and stamp the dirt in protest

We gonna hire some positional coaches

Or just let the WR and Oline figure it out on their own…Lord knows we need some good coaches in those areas.

Ellard would be a perfect WR coach for us.

I'm calling Sirianni for WR coach.

I don’t have a clue about OL coach, though.

I wouldn't be a big fan of that hire

I mean I hope Sirianni gets a shot but im not sure how much he helps our current squad.

If our system was in place and we had a strong coaching staff already I would be all for it. For right now I would prefer a guy who is a veteran NFL WR. Someone that has been 100% WR focused. Sirianni has been all over the place as as a QC guy.

Whoever it is I wish they would do the hiring already.

I'm not sure whether he'd be good or not.

But that’s who it sounds like they’re going with. To me anyway.

Yeah u are probably right

I just wanna see our staff as a whole already!!

As long as they use the porta-potty drill I'm good with anybody for WR coach.
anyone else worried about our scouting/drafting crew?

with whats-his-name on the Bears now… wonder what’s going on there.

Not really.

Most of the work should already be done.

No way

I want a Mike Mamula pick at #11/12.

No way, what?
I want a workout warrior.

Screw the game tapes.

What does that have to do with what I said?
You said the work is done.

The combine hasn’t happened, that is where the magic happens.

I said most of the work.

I didn’t say all of the work. And the combine is overrated by a lot of fans.

I don't put stock in the combine, I was just messing around.

I guess for some niche roles like speed WR it matters, but I don’t care too much.

One of the worst combine players ever was Tom Brady.

Who gives a crap how long a guy can broad jump?

It's real to me!
Broad jump is important!

It measures how explosive you are. Or how long your legs are.

Or you could just watch someone

I don’t know, actually play football.

Hard to gauge the competition though.

Position by position.

yeah that's what I figured

but didn’t know if some of those guys would follow him. how much gets done at the combine then btw?

I think most of that stuff is secondary

to the actual game footage, and that should have been watched by now.

Not worried

Its obvious that Pioli controls the draft room. He also still has all his normal scouts and his Joel Collier his assistant GM.

Losing Emery will be tough for Pioli because he knew the system but nothing bad for big picture.

yeah I wasn't losing sleep over this but just sorta thinking out loud.

sucks in shanghai today kids, need a distraction.

Yeah, after three years, it will be easier to plug someone in now.

All the other parts are already in place. I’m guessing he’ll promote from within.

Will Shields for OL Coach!!
Somebody on the Mizzou site linked to a helmet history website.

The Chiefs have had only three different helmets. The first was, of course, the Texans:

Then, when we were first in KC, our helmet looked like this:

Then they decided to change the logo a little bit to make our modern helmet:

But the crazy thing is that they even have Division 3 football, even Wash U:

This may be my new favorite site.

I love that site.
Image link fail.

Clear your cache and see.

none of those pics show up for me :(
Try refreshing the page.

I have problems with images on here sometimes too.

refresh was a no-go

Try to right click the image > Copy image location > paste in a new tab

Sorry :(

Well, here’s the page so you can see it yourself.

cool. there's a good time waster for my afternoon.

love our uniforms. see no reason to change anytime soon. (except shoes socks, loved when the boys took matters in their own hands)

I love our uniforms too.

One of my earliest fanposts was basically arguing that our logo is the best.

truth

you speak it

the ONLY slight issue i have

and Wildcat Chief and I were twittering about this as we make some new Chiefs kicks on Nike.ID. Red and Yellow screams McDonald’s to me. Red and White (black) = aww yeah.

testing...

Yeah, the all red is better.

We should only use yellow when we absolutely need a second color.

agreed

made the yellow one just to show how it doesn’t work. already have a pair similar to this in grey suede with red swoosh and accents with 58 and 29 on the heels.

thinking about a 91 and something for these (maybe 50 if he keeps it up)

the numbers would be yellow for these

just for the mentioned-below moderately used secondary color

but as Johnny mentioned

with Nike taking over, it would be super nice to have them pre-Chiefed on the ID site.

I think yellow is fine as a secondary color.

Yellow is to us what red is to the Giants. We use it in such moderation that we’re basically just red. If we started using more yellow I would definitely be opposed.

They're not broken images.

They’re generic images from NationalChamps.net

Hmm... They looked fine when I posted.

But now that I refreshed, they did change. Bummer.

They probably loaded from your cache the first time.
Probably.

That sucks.

On the other hand, I now have a new profile image. Yay!

I haven an extension

that allows me to automatically rehost images I find. That way I don’t have to worry about hotlinked images failing.

Interesting.

I may look into that if I ever experience that problem again.

Watching bball, my thunder vs the kings!!
Harden is a beast.

Ibaka has eight? blocks tonite.

Go Lakers!

The Thunder should be killing a team like the Kings.

Go Lakers!!!

Nobody got anything on Kobe

Signed,

Larry Bird

MJ said Kobe is the only one on his level

Sorry, Mr. Bird

You misunderstood.

Bird said he’d rather play with Kobe than anyone else playing today.

Actually he said Lebron

It was on ESPN today.

Go Clippers!

Always root for the underdog.

Meh

Kings haven’t been playing that bad lately.

Comments acting screwy for anybody else?

Im getting new comments Ive already seen and old ones that I havent.

not so much

but i have a hard time replying. if i hit preview first, then reply from the preview it works fine.

Cat evicts dog.

I'll raise you a real life Mario Kart

Whack -a- Kitty

Man, that's tough to beat. How about Drew Gooden being scared of a basketball?

That's a good one.
redditors or imgurs?

???

that's answer enough

asking if you guys are on reddit or imgur. i’m betting wustl is a redditor.

your whack-a-kitty is hosted on imgur which is the best thing since sliced bread.

As I said above, I rehost most images before posting.

I use imgur, but it’s all automatic, under the hood, using a Firefox extension.

ah...

imgur is not only good for hosting, but also for a good laugh at pics/comments.

i’m checking to see if Chrome has the same extension as I can see how that would come in handy.

I got the images above from Google+.

I rarely actually visit the imgur site. Only when I need to host something off my hard drive.

i really need to use + more

it was a barren wasteland when I got started on it.

going through some fanposts/shots now. everybody’s gone, but I agree with you that Hudson will be our C this year and hopefully for years to come.

IF Pioli listens to ups and we grab DeCastro and lower round RT, I will not be mad in any capacity. Its that or QB to me.

I wouldn't hate it.

I’m not on anybody’s bandwagon. I just hope they draft an immediate impact player at a position of need. He would probably fit that bill.

Yup

If we’re going to be attacking on offense, short of getting QB and WRs, this is where we need the most help.

not that we need much help with WRs

more depth would be great of course

I've not tried this yet, but it appears to be similar.

thank you sir, I'll give it a go.

where are the turtle shells?
