One word, Goosebumps.
Len and I stand next to Mitch on gameday. And nothing is better than having to move out of the way, so Mitch has room to pump his fists in a determined declaration of “Touchdown-Kan-sas-City!” But the first time I hear it each year…goosebumps.
Okay, I know it is preseason! But this TDKC was the culmination of a 16 play drive. It’s one thing to go 85 yards, and another to do in 16 plays.
While we’re talking goosebumps…For years Chiefs fans watched Denver quarterbacks (you name ‘em) fake a hand off and run away only to find themselves all alone on the backside. When Brodie Croyle ran that first bootleg, I thought I was going to cry. I was ready to throw Chan Gailey a parade. And I think Lenny would MC.
SOLDIER FIELD

For those of you who think I'm exaggerating, judge for yourself. Ohh….they’re out there alright!
RULES
Next week I’ll put together the notable changes to the 2008 NFL Rules. The defense is smiling!

Dan,
It's good to see that "they" have finally put you on the website. Even though it's early in the season, I have enjoyed reading your blogs. Keep up the good work and say hi to the family for me.
