quote:Fans are asked to treat Chiefs games like bowling matches
By MJD
See all those fans in that picture? They are dirty, filthy people who are running afoul of Arrowhead Stadium law and should be ejected and beaten with a railroad spike.
The Kansas City Chiefs have a "Fan Code of Conduct," which is essentially a list of rules that fans have to follow when they're attending a game at Arrowhead. In theory, it's not a bad idea, as you'd like your stadium to provide a friendly atmosphere for families and people who aren't drunken hooligans.
In practice, though, it might not be such a great idea, especially if the person responsible for coming up with the rules is an 85-year-old woman who teaches the 2nd grade and regards standing up as one of the evil things that young whippersnappers often do. Seriously, standing erect is the No. 2 item on the list of things that are prohibited:
• Standing and/or obstructing the view of other fans
Not only that, Pro Football Talk points out how seated fans can anonymously tattle on their upright counterparts:
The Chiefs also have set up a text-messaging system that allows fans who might be offended by behaviors like standing to report the situation to the powers-that-be.
Awesome. I hear they're even taking the extra step and including bed pans with every seat, so no one has to get up to use the bathroom. They're going to make the beer and peanut vendors crawl through the stadium on all fours. Also, as soon as you get to your seat and sit down, an usher's going to come by and inject you with a temporary paralytic.
Maybe I'm overreacting. The anti-standing policy might only be temporary. Maybe they'll lift the ban when the Chiefs can field an offense that might actually score a touchdown every now and then and might give fans a reason to stand. Maybe this is only the policy until Brodie Croyle improved or is replaced.
Still, it seems like an asinine, joyless, and dangerous policy. If standing is banned, we can't be far away from banning yelling, too, can we? I'm all for a friendly fan experience, but I'd also rather not turn Arrowhead into the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Gracias, KC Chiefs Football

quote:Imprisoned QB Vick files for bankruptcy protection
Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. -- Imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick filed for bankruptcy protection while serving time for federal dogfighting charges, saying he owes between $10 million and $50 million to creditors.
Vick filed Chapter 11 papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News on Monday. The seven largest creditors listed in the court papers are owed a total of about $12.8 million.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback hopes he "can, after the conclusion of the bankruptcy case, rebuild his life on a personal and spiritual level, resurrect his image as a public figure, and resolve matters with the NFL such that he can resume his career," according to the filings.
Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., after pleading guilty last year to bankrolling a dogfighting ring. He was subsequently suspended indefinitely without pay and lost all his major sponsors, including Nike. He also faces state charges related to dogfighting.
The debt includes part of a signing bonus that the Falcons are seeking to recover.
After the plea on dogfighting charges, the Falcons tried to recover about $20 million in bonuses Vick earned from 2004 to 2007. But a federal judge held that Vick is entitled to keep all but $3.75 million of the money paid to him for playing football through the 2014 season.
According to the filings, Vick's other debts include $4.5 million owed to Richmond-based Joel Enterprises Inc., and $550,0000 owed to Radtke Sports Inc. for breach of contract.
In May, a federal judge ordered Vick to repay about $2.5 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan. The Royal Bank of Canada had sued Vick in September, arguing his guilty plea to a federal dogfighting charge -- and the resulting impact on his career -- prevented him from repaying the loan.
A default judgment for $1.08 million also was entered in January against Vick and a business partner in a lawsuit brought by Wachovia Bank over a loan for an Atlanta-area wine shop and restaurant.

Wat doen die gasten toch met hun geld???
quote:Receiver Chris Henry has made roughly $2.5 million in the NFL since being drafted in 2005. According to his lawyer, it’s now all gone.
“He’s broke,” Henry’s lawyer said in court on Tuesday, according to the Dayton Daily News. “He doesn’t have any money to pay for a transcript [of his recent trial].”
And so Henry wants to get a copy of the transcript of the testimony of his trial for free, so that his lawyer can review the transcript and use it to prepare for the re-trial, which is scheduled to begin on July 14.
“He has no funds whatsoever and can’t even meet his current obligations,” the lawyer also said. In recent weeks, Henry lost his home and his Range Rover was repossessed.

Is dat niet lastig als je zo lang bent om andere lineman te blokken? Het lijkt me dat jouw evenwicht moeilijker te bewaren is dan dat van anderen (gewicht zal wel redelijk hetzelfde zijn) en dat je op snelheid wel zal inleveren...quote:Op woensdag 9 juli 2008 21:43 schreef Demon_Hunter het volgende:

Waarom sta je niet Tight End dan? Met die lengte en dat gewicht en dan toch een 4.8 lopen op de 40 word je gewoon niet goed gebruikt als je Oline staat. 4.8 is voor de meeste Wide Receivers in NL en vooral de 2e divisie al een redelijke tijd.quote:Op woensdag 9 juli 2008 23:12 schreef Demon_Hunter het volgende:

Iemand nog belang bij een receiver? Denk dat hij binnen een paar uur wel vrij is om overal te tekenen .
.quote:FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police say he was inside a car cutting up cocaine with a credit card.
The 25-year-old Jones and two others were arrested early Thursday. A police report said officers approached the car and an officer drew his handgun after Jones did not immediately show his hands.

Star studded friday night crowd waarschijnlijk komend seizoen bij Oaks Christian:
quote:Things are going to get interesting this football season in Westlake Village, CA. That’s because there’s going to be a QB battle brewing, and it includes some of the best athletic genes ever.
Nicholas Montana, son of 4-time Super Bowl QB Joe Montana enrolled at Oaks Christian High School recently. So what happens when the QB son of a Hall of Fame QB applies to your school?
"The admission office called and asked, Do you know a Joe Montana? I said, Yeah I've heard of the guy,' " Oaks Christian football coach Bill Redell said. "They told me his son had applied here. I said, Gosh, that's a surprise.'
Yeah, a surprise indeed. But it’s also a blessing for the coach, right?
That the 6-foot-2 Junior QB had done so would be interesting enough. What makes it even more noteworthy is that Montana will be competing for a starting spot against the spawn of an all-time great from another sport. That would be Trevor Gretzky. You know...Wayne’s son? They would need a famous son to pass to as well. But of course. Will Smith’s son Trey is a Wide Receiver on the squad.
And so while the 2006 season featuring Jimmy Clausen might have been Oaks Christian’s most celebrated season ever, the 2008 shall become the most celeb-rified. While the play on the field might be good, here’s guessing the attention will be focused on the stands. There might be as many fans as paparazzi.
Met een verbeten grimas en een verborgen glimlach.
Was toch al de vraag of Matt Jones de roster ging halen. Hoopte nog dat ze een goeie pick konden krijgen door hem te traden, maar dat zit er nu niet meer in. Toch zonde, want hij had het talent, lengte en snelheid om een top-receiver te worden.
Nog meer nieuws van de Jaguars 
quote:Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver issued a statement on Thursday that denies a report in the “Philadelphia Daily News” on Wednesday, that claimed Weaver was negotiating to sell the team to New Jersey food king C. Dean Metropoulos.
“In light of news reports from last night, I must once again reiterate the fact that I am not selling the Jaguars. The team is not for sale, and I cannot say it any more clearly than that,” Weaver said in the statement. “I’m not going to speculate about the future – whatever happens in the future, the Jaguars will be the Jacksonville Jaguars. The situation is the same as it was last year when I explained that we were looking into refinancing some debt and the possibility of adding investors. We chose not to, but that has always been an option. That is the situation now, as it was then.
“The clearest example I can offer which demonstrates my commitment to this team and this city is our offseason activity this year. We extended lucrative contracts to our head coach, our quarterback, and several veteran players. And we spent aggressively in free agency as well. Those are not moves that are made if a team is going to be sold. I don’t know how I can be any stronger in reconfirming my commitment to bringing a championship to Jacksonville. We’re excited and energized about the upcoming season and we want our fans to be as excited as we are,” Weaver added.
En nou gaat het balletje echt rollen.....quote:Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that Brett Favre and his agent have sent a letter asking the Green Bay Packers to release him.
According to Mortensen, the letter was sent via overnight mail on Thursday and arrived at the Packers’ facility this morning. Favre is currently on the team’s reserve-retired list, but under league rule, if Favre requests to be taken off that list, the Packers are required to either put him on their active roster or release him. So far, Favre has not made that request.
Mortensen also reports that Favre and agent Bus Cook had a conference call on Tuesday with Packers General Manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy, and Favre told the men he wants to play in the NFL again.
Favre is reportedly in good shape and is regularly throwing and running with a high school team in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
