Kansas City Star | October 06, 2008

This kind of game shouldn't happen
Kansas City Star | October 06, 2008
CHARLOTTE, N.C. | Well, it was fitting that this was the fifth week of the season because the Chiefs have now gone through all five stages of grief. There seemed to be no denial left in the locker room after the Chiefs’ nauseating 34-0 loss Sunday to Carolina. There wasn’t much anger. The Chiefs’ players were not in the mood for bargaining, and few players even seem very depressed.

Nothing doing for Chiefs in 34-0 loss to Panthers
Kansas City Star | October 06, 2008

Is Tony Gonzalez the best tight end ever?
Kansas City Star | October 05, 2008
The daydreamer is somewhere else now: a place where the cameras are off and the coaches don't bark and the only thing that hits him hard is that last shot of tequila.
