Derrick Thomas, Welcome to the Hall of Fame.

Finally, and about 5 years late, arguably the greatest Linebacker in Professional Football has been inducted to the Hall of Fame. The year he was drafted, I became a Chief fan. I was 14 years old and was disgusted with my old team. I watched Derrick single handedly take over games. When he died back at the end of the 90's, the Chiefs died with him. We were never able to be competitive. Competitive in a way that Defenses scare people.
On August 8, DT will be forever enshrined. As awesome as it would be to see it in person, I smile, because I have seen him play, and have had so much fun watching him play.

Thanks, Derrick.

ZOMBIES AHEAD!

I would love to see this sign in person. This was from supposed hackers. They say HACKERS HACKED THE SIGN! But not until the end of the article to you read that the sign controlling box is "usually" left open (read: NOT LOCKED) and they never change the Admin Password. Wow. So called hackers? I bet it was a couple teenagers with minimal computer skills guessed the password and had a good laugh. Come on people, seriously... how hard is it to change the password and LOCK THE STUPID CONTROLLER BOX??? /Sigh. No wonder this country is headed to Socialism. No one can think outside the box or for themselves anymore.

So Long Herm Edwards....

Finally.. the Chiefs organization is listening to the fans. First, King Carl Peterson was fired. They brought in a person who seems to know what he is doing. We will call him Lord Pioli, since it fits. A move that every fan of the Chiefs was waiting for, the Firing of the Worm. The Germ. The Disease that is Herm Edwards.

Lord Pioli waited 10 days to tell Herm what every Chief fan knew. So long, sucker. Now.. there are rumors that Pioli wants to pick up Shanahan, a casualty courtesy of the Denver Donkeys. If we do take him.. Limit that cheating punk to Runningbacks Coach. I wil give him credit. He can make an RB do anything he wanted. But thats it.

Ah well... whatever happens. It can't be worse than 2-14.

Can it?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

So, after fighting serious back pain, I went to my doctor (weird to say that since I haven't had one in over ten years), and the concluded I needed an MRI. Now as far as I knew, an MRI was just a really expensive XRay. And for the most part, I am right. Except I never want to do it again. I arrived at the "Imaging" center and they promptly took me in, took off all metallic items and went into the room with the machine.

First off I heard this constant chirping noise and the technicians laughed and said it was "just birds". Ugh. Then they asked me to lay down on my back. Yeah. The same back that is killing me. So I roll over onto my back and wince as I try and get comfortable. They put pillows under my knees and under my head. They then tell me that I need to bring my arms over my head, for the whole scan. Wow. Ok. Ow. Then they wrap my mid section in some heavy wraps. And then they move me in. They realize I am too far forward and tell me I need to scoootch down about 10 inches. So, using every muscle that kills me in my back, I move down 10 inches. Wincing the whole time.

Then to my surprise. They put ear plugs in my ears. Thats right, ear plugs. Apparently, the "birds" get louder.

So I get slid back in and with arms over my head, I hear the strangest grinding sounds. And they never stop. So for the next 40 minutes, I am in pain, uncomfortable and my ears are plugged. But the craziest part, it only felt like 10 minutes.

Anyways, I will know the results soon. But I never want to do that again.
