A Feel For Football and Training Camp

Some of our most ardent Kansas City Chiefs fans, and ArrowheadOne supporters, have graciously shared their photos of training camp from yesterday, Tuesday, August 9. I was fortunate enough to spend the first two days at  training camp this year so seeing these photos reminded me how great it is to see our men in red and gold dancing across a green green grove. Naturally, these pictures have a poetic quality to them so before sharing these these wonderful visions which tease and hint at the new season to come, here’s a piece of poetry I came across, which seems rather apropos. It comes from poetrylobby1 and goes like this,

Football Season Is Here

This is the time of year, that is long awaited by fans and players 

It’s when we get to see behind the scenes, peel back the layers

When loyal fans get to know the results of a long awaited draft decision

To see your quarterback improve on accuracy and precision 

You see running backs precise and elusive, while breaking through tackles

This is the time of year when players are set free, from off season shackles

Welcome back to the game of passion, enthusiasm and aggression

Take a seat fans and players, football is in session

To zoom in: hold down the CTRL and the + keys on your keyboard at the same time, three times.

On a Mac use the Command and + keys.

Once you’re done looking at the photos, zoom out (CTRL and – or Command and -).

Training Camp practice begins at 8:15 A.M this a morning and then the Chiefs will take Thursday and Friday off in preparation for their first preseason game vs. the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, 3:30 P.M..  We should be able to expect this to be a hardy practice as players will be in Full-Pads and it’s the last one until Monday at 8:15 A.M..

If you have photos of training camp that you’d like to share, please contact me at laddiemorse@gmail.com

Go Chiefs!!!
