Football Fantasies
Only occasionally do I intrude into the wonderful, wacky world of football. Mostly it is either too silly, too exasperating or just down right too frustrating. Recent developments deserve a mention. I happened on an...

Not So Free Agents
Chiefs' Salvation is in the Draft! K.C. Chiefs fans and bloggers are working themselves up into a feeding frenzy waiting for the annual free agent signing spree to begin. Why? Hope springs eternal and free agency...

Super Bowl - 40 Years On
Memories are all we have! Before I stick my neck out and tell you who will win this year's Super Bowl, a short trip down memory lane is in order. The greatest betting coup in modern times was not, as is usually thought,...

Chiefs Grades
End of Term Blues It's the end of term. The pads are being put away and the players are on their way home. Time to sum up and evaluate the 2009 version of the KC Chiefs. Management It's the Scott Pioli and Todd Haley...

It's Enough to make you cry!
Divies hone their gormlessness skills. Sometimes it is hard to take football seriously. Today is one of those sometimes. Thierry Henry is in sore danger of a brouhaha moment which will, no doubt, not endear him to...

Tenebrae factae sunt
Real Chiefs Woes! From bad to worse. That's the Chiefs season so far, and, perhaps, for the foreseeable future. Grabbing at some fragile straws (mostly last week's triumph at Washington), I predicted them to beat San...

Under Achieve - Over Achieve
No good news forthcoming. Contrasting fortunes for the England Cricket Team and the Kansas City Chiefs. One has, seemingly, been over-achieving whilst the other is moving, or possibly sinking, rapidly in the other...

A Tough Start
NFL Opener Looking forward to Sunday evening. It's the start of the NFL season and all Chiefs fans are agreed that it can't be as bad as last season. Or could it? Away at the Baltimore Ravens is not really the...

All Sorts of Noises
An enigma with little variation. From the Chiefs: lots of talk and not a lot of action. The real news has been the apparent change of emphasis, best illustrated by the treatment of Brian Waters, Larry Johnson and...

Football Weather
Crazy Game!! They say the old ones are the best. In pointless truisms, it's hard to beat, “Everyone talks about the weather, but no-one ever does anything about it!” The reason is, of course, obvious. No-one really...

It's the Draft, Stupid
Chiefs get it right - or else!! The Chiefs have drafted themselves into a corner. New GM Scott Pioli has such a reputation for finding gems in the annual auction that the height of the expectations is only dwarfed by...

Clarkson Does Football

Sports Combine - February 2009
A round up of current issues. Kansas City Chiefs With a new coach and GM it's all down to the draft for the Chiefs this season. It is surprising how easy it is to go from 2-14 to 10-6. Hope springs eternal....

Great Scott
Chiefs appoint new GM! It's been anything but a quiet off-season for the 2-14 Chiefs. King Carl Petersen has gone into a well-deserved retirement – to be replaced by Scott Pioli, who comes from the Patriots organisation...

Don't go down that road!
Please, please get sensible! Finally. A win, and even better, a win over the Raiders. Praise be the Lord! Already (and very unfortunately) the KC media have started overplaying their hand – like the poker player...
