Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
I thought this tag was apropos.

Welcome to the best division in football. The NFC East might try and talk poo poo but everyone hates them and we all know the truth.

It's a fun time in our division! Two teams are moving from their long time homes and it kinda sucks. Another just got bounced from the playoffs despite having probably the best top to bottom roster in the NFL and holding Big Ben, Leveon Bell, and Antonio Brown to zero touchdowns in a game. And then there's some team that everyone hates.

Here are the all time standings for championships from the Best Division in Football:


Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders: 16
San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers: 15
Denver Broncos: 15
Kansas City Chiefs/Dallas Texans: 9
Seattle Seahawks: 2

As you can tell, it's a pretty even split among the top 3. The Chiefs need to win a few more to catch up, and we're all still trying to forget that the Seahawks were ever a part of this division.


Our division also has a lot of Championships! Here is a list:

Kansas City Chiefs/Dallas Texans: Won the 1962 AFL Championship, and Superbowl IV
Denver Broncos: Won Superbowl XXXII, XXXIII, 50
Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders: Won Superbowl XI, XV, XVIII
San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers: Won the 1963 AFL Championship

Most of the news this offseason so far has been centered on the two California teams. The Chargers, owned by noted Awful Bastard Dean Spanos has moved the Chargers from San Diego, their home for 56 years, up to Los Angeles where they'll play in a 27,000 seat Soccer Stadium for two years before moving in Stan Kroenke's palace in Inglewood. It's stupid and it makes me mad.

The Raiders, meanwhile, have just filed for relocation from Oakland and are expected to move to Las Vegas.

The Broncos have a new coach in Vance Joseph but still have a quarterback problem. Kansas City also has a quarterback problem but I don't think they're gonna do anything about it.

I hate the three other teams in this division but I wouldn't rather be in a division with three other teams. I love to hate you all. The AFC West should Never Be hosed With.

Yeah it's honestly a good thing for football, old school rivalries are way more fun when they matter.

Of course it obviously won't matter for long because Carr is an illusion and that defense, just ugh.

Just when the Broncos were making headway into closing the gap on the all time records vs KC and Oakland, they go and get good again.

Also this is as good a place as any to note this, the Broncos hired away Chiefs assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo to be their main ST coach.

I mainly remember him as the personification of gritty white running back at Mizzou, he wasn't fast, he wasn't shifty, but he'd lower his head and plow into the line as many times as you'd let him. He's got a damned hill named for him on campus that he'd run sprints on as often as possible. Also those were the first Mizzou teams of my lifetime (at least my football watching lifetime) that weren't total dogshit, with Olivo and Corby Jones. Also Ernest Blackwell who literally went crazy and died a few years later

quote:

The 29-year-old Blackwell died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital; investigators are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results.

Blackwell wounded his 9-year-old stepdaughter with a shotgun, then beat and kicked a 14-year-old neighbor and attacked the girl's stepmother in her home.

...

She recalled Blackwell saying, "Lord forgive me for what I'm fixing to do." Then he struck and kicked her, yelling "touchdown" with each blow.

She said he also yelled that he hated women and repeated the number six. Angela said she did not know Blackwell, except to exchange a greeting in the neighborhood. There was no animosity between them, she said.

Blackwell then broke into Angela's home and beat her stepmother, Trina Hicks.

A county police officer arrived and interrupted the assault. Blackwell tried to grab the officer's pistol during a struggle. The officer ejected the magazine to keep Blackwell from firing ammunition, police said, and hit a panic button on his belt radio.

More officers arrived, and neighbor Patricia Bristow saw police struggle with Blackwell, hitting him twice with a Taser's electrical charge in an attempt to subdue him.

Sorry, got sidetracked with old Mizzou things. Anyway, as an NFL coach Toub should rightfully get most of the coaching credit, but KC's special teams were amazing this year and Olivo had something to with that. Wish he'd have gone just about anywhere else though.

One of his distant relatives was in my battalion and holy poo poo he was a loud mouthed moron to the point that I was actually glad when he got shot in the face attempting to escape a bank robbery.

Who's that, Olivo or Blackwell?

I could see Brock's family being pretty meatheaded, Blackwell was just...a weird very angry dude who lived a pretty poo poo life outside of football.

I know people are quick to defend Smith and i've done so in the past, but I dunno how anybody can watch that game and not realize that he left at least a good 14 points on the field if he bothers to see Hill downfield instead of fleeing the pocket or turtle-ing up.

My mom (who lives in Kansas City) is a hairdresser, and she called me one day to talk about a longtime customer who had a vision of the Super Bowl in like week 5 of the regular season and she wanted to bet on it since the guy's had a few visions like this in the past (iirc Colts over Bears and Saints over Colts) and his sister saw and talked to their dead dad so the supernatural ran in the family.

His vision was a Chiefs/Cowboys super bowl, the Sunday before last was a fun one for that.

I really hope he doesn't retire after he leaves the Chiefs. I hope he goes to some bottom feeder team for one last payday with no defense and a shaky o-line so everyone can see how much he loving sucks.

I want to see a return of 05-06 Alex Smith.

Pagano is going to be the X's and O's guy to KNj's new job as cheerleader. Also, Pagano isn't as bad as Charger flowcharts suggest.
