Veritas....Aequitas

So, here I am back from Chicago, and fully inspired to enjoy this week of the Irish. We were lucky enough to be there on the exact day that they dyed the river green and held a St. Patrick's day parade. We were even more fortuitous to be staying two blocks from the river. This is a very good thing, seeing how I have never been so cold in my life. Calling it the windy city is a vast understatement. Nonetheless, everyone was out and I had never seen sooo many people into being Irish. Kick arse!!

By the way...O'Hare may be the worst airport.

So, the Chiefs did some more signing this weekend. They beefed up their secondary some by adding an outstanding player from the Miami Dolphins: Sammy Knight. This makes me even more excited. Even if both of our additions turn out not to do too much, I'll atleast be happy to know that Carl Peterson tried to make this defense better.

EXTRA!! EXTRA!!: The Chiefs have made an attempt to improve their defense.


Just when you think that you'll watch another crop of free agents pass right by, your team goes out and signs Kendrell Bell. It seems that a light bulb has flashed in Carl Peterson's head: "Hey, I know, lets sign some defensive free agents." Maybe Gunther does have some say on what goes on. Granted, what we really, really need is a shutdown corner. But, they all wanted tons of cash, and the Chief's cash is tied up in their offense. Second on the list was a versatile linebacker...BINGO!! Good move. Of course, there is some cause for concern, seeing how Bell was out nearly all of last year with injuries. Here's to hoping he returns to his rookie level.

69 points?!?! The Mavs have lost 4 of their last 5 games, and things are beginning to look dim. Van Horn started in Dirk's place today. He racked up a gigantic 12pts on 18 attempts. Some say that the team hasn't been the same since that trade.....could they be right?

"Marge, it takes two to lie: one to lie and one to listen."


I've been watching alot of Simpsons lately. In fact, I'm working on finishing a 2nd season in 2 weeks! Man...what a genius show. I was 9 years old when I first caught a 30 minute segment of the Simpsons during the Tracy Ulman show....now I'm 25!!! Sixteen years of watching the "fun be put back in dysfunctional". 16 years!!?? How is that possible? Honestly, I don't know the answer, but a perfect mix of humor, philosophy, pop/sub-culture references, politics, creativeness, and obvious sarcasm might have something to do with it? Perhaps its that everyday I change, but the Simpsons are still the same? Who knows.

On thing I do know is that, in my opinion, the Simpsons is the greatest television show of all time. It'll be a sad day when they call it quits.

Work has been really busy this week. Its cool to go some place for 8 hrs and feel like the day just started. Of course, I'm really not use to working all day, so when I get home all I want to do is veg and sit on the couch. Though, I see that changing soon.


MY GOD!!! Lets skip baseball talk and move right into football. Wednesday started free agency in the NFL, and the biggest story, atleast outside of Dallas, seems to be the Moss trade to Oakland. I personally hate the trade, because Moss is a badass and now KC has to face him not once, but twice a season. I must say, though, I will enjoy hating him.

KC is targeting 3 positions in free agency and the draft. Not surprisingly, they are all on defense. They are trying to bag a veteran CB, LB, or DE, and pick up the remaining in the draft. They really want a CB, but that seems to be what everyone wants, and that means a hike in prices. Apparently, from my sources, they are looking at Patrick Surtain, Ty Law, Jeremiah Trotter, Fred Smoot, Ken Lucas, and Edgerton Hartwell.

Hot Sports Opinion: I think they should trade Priest. Don't get me wrong...I love the dude, but from a business perspective it just makes sense. His market value is super high, and we have Larry Johnson and Derrick Blaylock (free agent) who could definitely fill the role of RB (notice I didn't say "his" role, because they can't). I would risk the decrease in offense for a solid defensive player (maybe even two) and a draft pick.
