Right now the Chiefs have one quarterback on their roster who can win an NFL game … and it ain’t Brodie Croyle or Tyler Wishbone. It’s Damon Huard, the human fire extinguisher. – Jason Whitlock

Well, I think I’m heading down the road of agreeing with Whitlock on this one.

I know, I know Herm’s grand plan is to get younger … but (to me) the QB spot is where you want your #1 leader, right? And how is a guy who just threw for 38 yards against a mediocre defense (Arizona) with a long pass of 7 yards considered your main man? Aside from not throwing interceptions off his back foot like in the last preseason, Brodie Croyle hasn’t shown that he’s any better than he was last year and that’s troubling … since he’s already been dubbed the next Chiefs QB. At year 3 in the league, and a starting nod on the way - he needs to start performing like an NFL-level QB soon.

There are at least two guys on the street right now who have proven success in the NFL … and I have no idea why NO ONE is going after them:

• Daunte Culpepper
• Byron Leftwich

If they do decide to stick with Croyle, he at least has the cushion of the Chiefs’ conservative gameplans. The Chiefs run a conservative offense. That means they run plays that have a high percentage chance of being complete. We do have other playmakers all over the field. Croyle’s job is then to get the ball to the playmakers and let them make the play.

On the other side (defense), we are apt to look monstrous this season. We have the chance to be very in-your-face and aggressive … and that can only help the offense.

GO CHIEFS!

My heart says 10-6 … my head says 7-9 … my realist says 4-12 … you say?

They are actually starting to form more like an actual team and positions, etc … kind of …
I also had some weirdness going on with the camera either during filming or transferring to the computer to edit. They just look like they’re going about 105% speed - just a little faster than normal

Only about 5-1/2 months away!!!!

“… 1,800 volunteers spent a week to demolish the house with the overflowing septic tank that belonged to Milton and Patricia Harper of Lake City, Ga., and then entirely rebuild a new, larger house, while the Harpers and their three children went away to Disneyland. When they returned, they had the biggest house on Ahyoka Drive, with all the appliances and furnishings, plus enough money to pay taxes on it for decades, plus a fund to send their children to college.

The house will be auctioned off, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse.

The Harpers had used their home as collateral on a $450,000 loan from JPMorgan Chase and fell in arrears, the newspaper reported. He ran a home security business; she mommed at home. Happy to be on television back then, they declined to be interviewed last week, when a news crew showed up from local station WSB, wanting to know what happened.

The mayor of Lake City, Willie Oswalt, who said he’d helped lift a beam into place in the Harpers living room, told the press that “it’s aggravating. It just makes you mad. You do that much work, and they just squander it.”

How do you lose a house that someone gave you as a gift on national television?

Taylor also decided that he wanted to ride the big water ride … one of the first rides … that got us totally soaked. Dad weasled his way out of riding at the last minute with some lame excuse! We sat in front and got drenched!!!

Anyway, here’s a little video recap (minus the water ride):

now, it’s probably not pronounced the way i’m pronouncing it in my head, but change that second ‘O’ to an ‘E’ and let the hillarity ensue!
