I LOVE AARON RODGERS!

I am the newest Aaron Rodgers fan! Kick Favre's ass!! I just turned on KFAN in Minneapolis and they all think the Vikings are a shoe in for the SUPER BOWL!! I'm serious!!! Brett Favre is a piece of you-know-what and he just needs go 'retire'! GO PACK GO*!

*just for the games when they play Brett Favre and the Vikings*

GO AWAY!!!!!!!

I HATE BRETT FAVRE! He needs to go to Mississippi, live on his farm and just go away. You know what, he's going to sign with the Vikings for one year and we're going to have to go through this crap all over again next year. Stop it. You're never going to win a Super Bowl again. You can't play like you used to. You will have more INT's than you will have TD's. If you want the camera spotlight on you all of the time, go on a reality show. Just stop creating news when you are no longer news worthy. GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give Them Some Time

On Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs lost their first preseason game of the year to the Houston Texans 16-10. So what? It's preseason.

This is a team that has won a grand total of six regular season games over the last two years. This is a team that has completely overhauled their staff, their coaches and the most important player on the field. Give them some time. Scott Pioli is the new GM, Todd Haley is the new head coach and Matt Cassel is the new QB.

Will this complete change of regime translate to a playoff season after winning two games last year? I doubt it. So Chiefs fans need to relax and enjoy the season for what it is . . . a TRUE rebuilding year.

Chiefs fans have had that excuse for years. 'It's a rebuilding year.' Those words drive me insane. It means fans are not expecting anything from their team. They are prepared for a bad year. And how many rebuilding years can you have in a row before you realize that you're team is not going to win.

But, in fact, this really is a rebuilding year because if you have that much change over in your program, then there will undoubtedly be some growing pains. So, this year, accept the growing pains and look at the hopefull years that could come for the boys in Arrowhead.

PS - I'll throw this out there - the playoffs are NOT out of the question. Look who the Chiefs have to battle for that playoff spot. A) Al Davis' Oakland Raiders - they will never be good until Al Davis is gone. B) The Denver Broncos - did you see their off season? Exactly. C) The San Diego Chargers - this is the team that the Chiefs will have to beat and I don't think they will be able to . . . this year.

Full Pads

This week the Nebraska football team began practicing in full pads and today they started their first two-a-day. I think that it is safe to say that the new culture of Nebraska football is in place and the foundation has been paved.

A few years ago, it came out that during the season the team quite often weren't practicing in full pads. Everybody was scratching their heads. But now, most fans expect to hear that the team is all geared up and getting at it on the practice field.

Whenever I hear the coaching staff speak, one of the most often used words that is thrown out there is 'PHYSICAL'. Coach Pelini and his staff have built into the system that pretty schemes alone are not going to win games. Hitting hard and putting your opponent on their butt is needed to rack up the wins. As Coach Hawkins reminded us a few years ago 'this is Division I football'. And nothing says that this is a man's game more than strapping up the pads, hitting people and practicing during the week like you're under the lights on Saturday.

Once again . . . welcome back football season. It's been too long.
