Chiefs Chatter, News, Moves, & Stuff That Matters, XIII

The Len Dawson Bobblehead in the graphic is in his honor as he is kind of the Father of the Chiefs.

PS – Couldn’t find a Lamar Hunt Bobblehead.

Welp, the Chiefs wrapped up their mandatory minicamp last week with high hopes of another successful NFL campaign in 2021. Next up, we have training camp set to kickoff on July 27th, then our first preseason game in the city by the Bay against the 49ers on August 14th. Fast forward, just a little under a month later and the Brownies come to town on September 12th. That means its Chiefs football time, Baby! We actually have an offensive line now. Sprinkle in the best quarterback in the league, add a pinch of the best tight end ever to play the position, put in a dash of the league’s fastest wide receiver, and top it off with a ferocious defense led by a Honey Badger, and you’ve got the recipe for a Super Bowl winning season.

.

We’re 83 days away from putting a good old-fashioned butt-kickin’ on the Browns and Patrick Mahomes’ former college backup, Baker Mayfield. After that, NFL beware. I can’t wait!

Let’s get at it.

This Week in Chiefs News

Comings and Goings

Last week, the Chiefs chose to part ways with offensive tackle Martinas Rankin. Rankin played in all 16 games, making 4 starts last year, but obviously, wasn’t up to the mustard with the Chiefs head office. As such, he’s gone, and wide receiver Darrius Shepherd has found a home. Rankin is not a bad guy and my heart goes out to him, but the NFL is a cut-throat business. I wish him well in his future endeavors and in the meantime am looking forward to what Shepherd brings to the table.

Don’t Ring That Bell

Le’Veon Bell would have been better off if he had not tweeted “I’ll never play for Andy Reid again … I’d retire first” … but he did tweet it. To add insult to injury, he followed up with another tweet, or two.

.

.

The Chiefs Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu was johnny-on-the-spot in Reid’s defense:

.

.

Quit while you’re ahead, Mr. Bell. As Mrs. Rose oft-time tells me, “Don’t start none, won’t be none.”

.

Elsewhere Around the League

.

In Green Bay, it’s “The same sɥᴉt, different day.” This time, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers shoots the salvo, goaded by Tampa Bay’s quarterback, Tom Brady!

.

.

Figure it out, folks! Aaron, either: 1) make nice and return to Green Bay, 2) get your trade and head to Denver, or 3) retire. All this other BS is laborious.

Chiefs Quote of the Week

“I can’t see myself wearing another uniform.”

– Tyrann Mathieu

.

.

Neither can I, Mr. Mathieu. The only other outfit I want to see you in is a gold jacket one day in the far future… in Canton, OH.

.

Our quarterback, Mr. Mahomes, appears to feel the same way,

.

“You want him to be here for the long run and you can tell that Chiefs Kingdom is really behind him as the leader of that defense and a leader on this team. Definitely want him to be here as long as he can and as long as I’m here.”

.

Chiefs Blast from the Past

Speaking of gold jackets, get this man, this legend, one, already!

Dad Joke of the Week

I wonder what my parents did to fight boredom before the internet?

I asked my 18 brothers and sisters, and they don’t know either.
