QUOTE OF THE DAY
"That's the thing about baseball, Cotter. You do what they did before."
you. That's the connection you make. There's a whole long line. A man takes his kid to a game and thirty years later this is what they talk about when the poor old mutt's wasting away in the hospital."
— Excerpt from Underworld, by Don DeLillo
FACT OF THE DAY
Former Kansas running back Gale Sayers set an NFL record for rookies with 22 touchdowns in the 1965 season as a Chicago Bear.

Chiefs address needs in free agency
THE MORNING BREW
No one expected the Kansas City Chiefs to stun the San Diego Chargers in their first game or only have one loss at home all season. Even the diehard Chiefs fan didn't anticipate them winning their division. This year will be different.
After a 10-6 season, the Kansas City Chiefs edged the San Diego Chargers by one win to claim the rights of AFC West champions. A short-lived playoff appearance later, the Chiefs return with young and electric talent. The Chiefs have a tough schedule, including a five-game stretch against teams that made the playoffs, but that shouldn't stop them from taking the AFC West once again.
Free agency is usually boring for the typical Chiefs fan because the organization never signs big names or attempts to spend cash. With plenty of room under the salary cap, general manager Scott Pioli took another route. The Chiefs had
the best free agency among the other members in the AFC West
What did other teams in the AFC West do in free agency? The Chargers signed ex-49er linebacker Takeo Spikes, but they lost running back Darren Sproles. The Raiders signed tight end Kevin Boss, but lost their biggest red-zone threat in Zach Miller and best defender in Nammi Asomugha. The Broncos didn't lose key players, but they only signed defensive linemen Ty Warren and Derrick Harvey.
Then there are the Chiefs.
Offensively, the Chiefs signed two big needs. They needed a wide receiver to help Dwayne Bowe and Tony Moeaki. In comes Steve Breaston, a slot receiver who caught 77 passes for 1.006 yards in Todd Haley's offense in 2008. Breaston missed three games last year because of injury, but still managed to snatch 47 passes for 718 yards. The league's best rushing attack
with the two-headed monster in Jamail Charles and Thomas Jones return with additional help. Ex-Raven, LeRon McClain steps into the backfield as fullback. The Chiefs haven't had a great fullback since Tony Richardson and McClain can fill that duty. McClain had 10 touchdowns in 2008 and brings toughness to the team. The man can block and created many holes for sensational running back Ray Rice, who had 1,220 rushing yards last year.
Defensively, Mike Vrabel retired
and left a gap at inside linebacker. The addition of run-stopping linebacker Brandon Siler improves the inside core with Derrick Johnson, but Siler tore his achilles tendon and he is out for the whole year. The answer to solidify the middle was Kelly Gregg. Yes, the Chiefs lose defensive linemen Shaun Smith and Ron Edwards, but that shouldn't matter. Gregg only had 38 tackles, but that's 12 more
tackles than Ron Edwards. Gregg has 12 years of experience and that will help guys like Glenn Dorsey and Tyson jackson.
The Chiefs return all key players and have never won the AFC West division back-to-back, but there is a first time for everything and expect the Chiefs to take the division.
