KC Warpaint

searched for this post i remembered regarding Baker and what the future is for him

Henry is Beasting right now

Hardman was still Hardman, i would rather have pringle in there Hope the news is not extremely bad on Baker because he is who i really wanted to see ball out, and he did pretty well up until the injury..

Kevin Kugler, Brock Huard

Two possible chances to see a game in Baltimore and Washington...hell maybe even Philly (Andy Reid Homecoming) guess i better start saving now

The Chiefs now know all but one opponent for 2021 season: Home: Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Cowboys, Giants and Bills Road: Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, Ravens, Bengals, Eagles, Washington and AFC South champ They will go to Tennessee if Titans win tonight.

we are going to need the picks we have to fill gaps around high contract players, cannot give up multiple picks to move up in the 1st round

😂😂 Honey Gerbil, man OT that was gold

i just don't like seeing Patrick getting hit as much as he has been lately or having to leave the pocket as much, although he really does better when HE creates the play instead

i cannot see the saints taking a late 1st rounder (pretty much a 2nd rounder at this point) and Fish for Thomas, they would probably ask for multiple picks and we need those

Thomas would be a definite upgrade over Robinson and/or Hardman or a replacement for Watkins but we have greater needs for Linemen or a Pass Rusher...

NFL rule changes say head coaching interviews can start Wednesday. According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, Wednesday could be a very important day for Eric Bieniemy (and any other potential head coaching candidate on the Kansas City Chiefs staff). That’s because any candidate for an open head coaching gig can be interviewed starting on Wed., December 23. Given the COVID pandemic and the protocols in place for the NFL to conduct its business and carry out the calendar, both on and off the field, adjustments need to be made. One need for teams who are going to have an opening at head coach this offseason is the ability to interview candidates. For those who are gainfully employed by another team, it doesn’t make sense to force players to sit out for several days before joining a new team or restricting free agent visits only to allow head coaching candidates to waltz in and out of team facilities. The NFL’s process for new coach hirings were unveiled late Tuesday night. Starting in December, coaches who aren’t connected to any other team (think Dallas hiring Mike McCarthy to coach the Cowboys after taking a year off) were allowed to be interviewed virtually without any limitations. For teams interested in a coach who is currently employed by another team, instead of waiting on the regular season to conclude, those teams may now conduct initial interviews with their preferred candidate—for head coaching candidates only. Interviews can only last two hours, and the candidate’s team must give permission for the coach to interview. For a candidate like Bieniemy, who has been the Chiefs offensive coordinator for three seasons, head coach Andy Reid is not going to have any problem allowing his right hand man to interview anywhere he wants, since he’s been a vocal champion for him in the marketplace for the last two years. In addition the league has adopted changes to the Rooney Rule which will require teams to now interview two minority head coaching candidates instead of one. Thus, expect to hear plenty of Bieniemy interest and perhaps news in the days to come.

whenever they talk about that shit, the raiders always go belly up

Cleveland team’s name change now front and center. What does that mean for the Chiefs? By Sam Mellinger December 14, 2020 01:19 PM, Updated December 14, 2020 05:00 PM Read more here: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article247835310.html#storylink=cpy The Kansas City Chiefs are on the clock now. You’ll hear people say this. The Washington Redskins are now the Washington Football Team, pending a new team nickname, and this week the Cleveland Indians announced they, too, will find a new name. That moves the Chiefs, Atlanta Braves and Chicago Blackhawks to the top of the list, America’s last remaining major professional sports teams with names connected to Native American imagery. The Chiefs are the most visible of the three, play in the biggest league and employ arguably the biggest star in all of sports. So they’re on the clock. You’ll hear people say that, anyway. Except they’re not going to change. Not anytime soon, anyway. The Chiefs have prepared for this fight for seven years. Seven years! Culturally, the Chiefs’ marketing and business folks move slow and think long-term. This is an old-school franchise, in that way, and for seven years club president Mark Donovan and others among team leadership have seen this fight coming. Nothing that’s happened since has been unexpected. The Chiefs have insulated themselves. They’ve partnered with members of various tribes in Kansas City and the region. But this should not read as a full defense of the Chiefs. Their actions are more defensive than proactive. Their goal has always been to find a safe space between two sides of an argument that see no common ground. This type of controversy can be bad for business, and the Chiefs have always prioritized business. They’ve approached this like people-pleasers, not bold leaders. That’s neither a criticism nor defense. We just need to be honest about what’s happening here. The Chiefs talked, listened and made changes ranging from subtle (adding the war drum blessing before games) to shameless CYA (their cheerleaders do the tomahawk chop with a closed fist now, like they’re banging on a drum) to long overdue (fans are prohibited from wearing headdresses at Arrowhead Stadium). But, notably, they’ve stacked the deck by partnering specifically with groups whose asks fall short of changing their arrowhead logo or the name of the team or stadium. Recently, their discussions have been opened to national groups with more progressive views, but their focus groups are not asking for anything the Chiefs can’t do while keeping the trains moving forward. Self-serving or not, the time and energy they’ve spent has always put the Chiefs in a fundamentally different and more secure place than the football team in Washington or the baseball team in Cleveland. The question of whether the Chiefs should change their name will never be answered satisfactorily. One part of this that is often overlooked is that, as things stand right now, no business or institution in the country can match the Chiefs’ reach and motivation to educate the public about American Indian history and treat that history with respect. If they become the Monarchs or Kings or shift their imagery to represent fire chiefs, then all their effort and motivation to address Native Americans evaporates. Without anything to fill that space. Is that the best thing for a group of people already underrepresented in classrooms and popular culture? These are difficult questions, and the issues are complicated enough that any solution will be flawed. Personally, I’ve always drawn a distinct line between the Redskins and Indians and the Chiefs or Braves or Blackhawks. I believe the Chiefs have done everything that should be expected of them, treating the issue with respect. I am by nature hard to offend, and I see the Chiefs organization’s work in this space as significant. I also believe the opinion of a white dad and sportswriter on whether a team’s name is offensive to American Indians is comprehensively irrelevant. The Chiefs organization controls the name, and its most valued constituency is the fans. It’s instructive to remember that some 25 years ago the team banned the tomahawk chop, received a flood of negative reaction from fans, and immediately flipped. The 1990s are a long time ago, but the organization’s base way of decision-making persists. This is a self-survival thing for them, then. The Hunt family is among a handful of original owners in sports, and they prioritize tradition. Always have. You can see that in so many ways, from the Chiefs’ uniforms to the stadium to their marketing. They will protect tradition first, last and whenever possible. The Chiefs have been consistent with this, and so have their fans. You can criticize the Chiefs’ business folks for a lot of things, but they do listen to fans. That’s why the headdresses were easier to get rid of than the chop. There is no massive public campaign to save a random white person’s right to look like a fool, but there will be if the chop or team name are ever seriously threatened. That’s what’s often missed when the team’s name becomes a topic. Those who want the name changed don’t have to convince Donovan or chairman and CEO Clark Hunt. They have to convince thousands of Chiefs fans, the ones who buy gear and tickets and have shown themselves to have the power.

In late March 2017, Saints coach Sean Payton sent Patrick Mahomes an installation of plays, something of a study guide for the following day. The next morning in Lubbock, Texas, Payton tested Mahomes, a meeting to measure how quickly Mahomes had processed the information. They progressed to an on-field workout before finishing with a conversation over Mexican food. With Drew Brees already on the roster, the Saints weren’t much in need of a quarterback, not one projected to go in the first round anyway. And then they met Mahomes. “I remember getting on our owner’s plane thinking, ‘Man, that was as good of a quarterback evaluation as I’ve had in my time in the NFL,’” Payton said. Mahomes has since literally concluded a Super Bowl parade in downtown Kansas City and figuratively led the march for one. He’s the youngest player in NFL history to match the regular season most valuable player honor with its Super Bowl version. But he was thisclose to wearing a Saints uniform instead. You see, when the Chiefs make the trip to New Orleans on Sunday, a slight alteration in history would have made this Mahomes’ first game ever against the Chiefs. If you were to stop reading after that last sentence, well, who could blame you? This is fantasy. But it’s fantasy that was almost reality. ‘Andy decided for us’ The Mahomes workout commenced a unique week for Payton. His next stop was in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he worked out running back Alvin Kamara. Payton continued on to Columbus, Ohio, where he met with cornerback Marshon Lattimore. “Man,” Payton said, “I’m a roll here.” The Saints had the 11th overall pick, and they graded Mahomes and Lattimore among the top players in the draft class. As the opening round of the 2017 NFL Draft progressed, they removed names of selected players from their board. Nine players gone. Only two remained in the Saints’ top bubble: Lattimore and Mahomes. “Then that discussion takes place,” Payton said. “There’s two parts to it. When you have a quarterback, there’s the part of (who) you will help the team right now, which is Lattimore. Or there’s the future. And back and forth. And when it got to (number) nine, and nine was selected, we knew we were getting one of the two. “And then Andy decided for us.” With the Saints waiting at No. 11, the Chiefs pounced at 10. Not by coincidence. While not mentioning specific teams, then-Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said he had a feeling which other teams might be interested in Mahomes. And five days earlier, he began the blueprint for a potential trade with the Bills for No. 10. The Chiefs relinquished two first-round picks and a third-rounder. “Once that trade happened,” Payton said, “I said, ‘There goes Mahomes.’” ‘Crazy how stuff works out’ Chiefs general manager Brett Veach had first spotted Mahomes on film, and he nagged Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid about him daily. Dorsey drove to Iowa State to watch Mahomes in person, and he saw one of the worst games of Mahomes’ career. The infatuation, though, grew. He liked the competitiveness. He admired Mahomes playing through an injury. Mahomes had not been projected in the top 10 of many mock drafts. The Chiefs, however, thought they had found their future, even with Alex Smith still on the roster. But they weren’t the only ones. Then-Cardinals coach Bruce Arians later said they were ready to draft Mahomes at No. 13. And a few weeks before the draft, Payton conducted a workout that changed it all. He thought. The interests were unknown to one another. Unknown to Mahomes, even. “With the Saints, I didn’t sense (their interest) as much,” Mahomes said. “I know I definitely had a good workout. But I didn’t sense that they were going to pick me, obviously with Drew still being there and the success that he still had to this day.” The two teams had identified the same traits. Mahomes’ ability to make off-schedule throws popped on the tape. And his ability to retain information popped in meetings. They walked away with similar reactions. Veach has called Mahomes the best player he has ever scouted — said it before he’d ever started a game. Payton? Same thing. “I felt like it was the best quarterback I had ever seen on tape in a workout,” Payton said. “I had done a lot of them to that point. You name it. I just thought he had that rare ability, and there was going to be a ton of upside. Man, he was real good in the meeting room. He processed the information extremely (well) — all those things you can’t see on video. That was just my instincts. I didn’t know for sure. “But when the draft comes, you begin to think, ‘Well, there’s gotta be someone else that sees what I see.’” And he had a slight inkling who else it might be. In fact, when the Chiefs made the trade for the 10th pick, even as Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson remained on the board, Payton just knew. “When they made that move, my gut told me,” Payton said. “Look, I’ve always respected Andy. It was one of those where I don’t know how many people had the grade on Patrick that we had. But I thought Andy clearly would have with his background at the quarterback position. He would’ve seen, I think, the same things.” The conversation in the Saints’ war room became easy. They selected Lattimore, a pick they’ve been plenty content with. And Brees, though currently injured, has led the Saints to a 28-7 record over the past three seasons. They never had to make the difficult decision. But what if? “It’s just crazy how stuff works out,” Mahomes said.

1. It kinda looks like the chiefs are bored and just waiting for the Playoffs, not saying it is true but i get that feeling. 2. The Name Chiefs is not offensive, but they have started to jettison things that would offend, not letting anyone in wearing face paint or allowing a Full native Headdress...they want to get rid of the drum as well and the chant and Tomahawk Chop. Nothing wrong with the arrowhead, but the with washington and Cleveland pulling the plug on their names i can see the Braves and Blackhawks getting attacked before KC does
