Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Chiefs
I don't mean for this to become a sports blog, but...
I give up. I can no longer try to figure out this season's edition of the Kansas City Chiefs. It's getting awfully tiring jumping on and off the Chiefs bandwagon.
One week, they look like a team that will never score a touchdown. A week later, they knock off a good team on the road. The next week, their highly-paid, superstar running back manages only 10 yards. Seven days later, he gets 100 yards in the first half. What gives?
There is plenty of good news. (I know this goes completely against my blog from just one short week ago, but that's the whole theme of this particular post.)
1. The AFC West is very weak this year. Or, if you want to be more kind, there's a lot of parody.
2. You can't help but watch the Chiefs the rest of the season, no matter what. The next week could be completely different. Just remember that as you celebrate Sunday's victory over the Bengals.
3. Larry Johnson may finally be shaking the rust off. The theory is now that missing most of training camp is the reason for the slow start. I hope so. We'll see next week.
Ah yes, next week. Which Chiefs team will show up? The potential AFC West Champ or the team who can't find the end zone with GPS? We'll all have to tune in to see.
