The time had come for the Chiefs to make a decision on their Larry Johnson problem, so the power triumvirate of Clark Hunt, Scott Pioli and Todd Haley convened on Sunday night’s plane ride home from the game in Jacksonville, Fla. They talked some more late into the night after their arrival in Kansas City, and again early Monday morning.
ST. JOSEPH | Matt Ziesel doesn’t stray far from coach Dan McCamy on the sidelines during St. Joseph Benton High School’s freshman football games. He likes to stay within earshot.
Some recent scientific findings must be chilling for current NFL players. Former Chiefs offensive lineman Michael Oriard wrote an essay for deadspin.com last month chronicling his concern and he’s been out of the NFL since 1973.

It’s kind of/sort of official: Worst Big 12 football regular season in the BCS era. The latest BCS standings included two from the Big 12, and that’s the second time this season so few found their way into the top 25 teams ranked by a combination of two polls and a computer average.

The most dangerous team in the state began this season with new faces in glamour positions while its best player — a pint-sized tough guy — walked around the practice field in street clothes. At that time, its head coach laughed at the thought that he might be a sadist for enjoying being around these guys so much.

While blowing out Liberty 35-14 in a Class 6 sectional playoff game and setting up a classic Rockhurst-Blue Springs grudge match, the Hawklets looked like the team they grew to be: the most dangerous team in the state.

Editor’s note: The NFL celebrates the U.S. armed forces throughout November in honor of Veterans Day, and we felt it appropriate to republish Herbie Teope’s 2008 salute to the NFL and military. Herm Edwards and Donnie Edwards are no longer with the Kansas City Chiefs, but the overall message remains relevant to the Nov. 11 holiday.
