Chiefs Do Right By Romeo!

Kudos to the Kansas City Chiefs NFL fans! The long-suffering franchise made a smart move by hiring respected veteran NFL defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel as the team’s head coach for the 2012 season and beyond.  

Crennel had been the interim coach for the Chiefs until replacing Todd Haley, who the team fired last month.

"We are very excited to name Romeo the new head coach of the Chiefs," Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt said in a prepared statement. "In 30 years as a coach in the National Football League, Romeo has established an outstanding track record of success, and we believe his experience and proven ability make him the best person to help us reach our goal of consistently competing for championships."

The Chiefs’ players vociferously shared their collective opinion that Crennel should be their head coach moving forward and now, the franchise – and their fans base, both gets their wish. 

The Wheels on the Bus Go ‘Round and ‘Round

Apparently, Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson doesn’t just throw people under the bus – he rolls right over them all in one fell swoop.  

Jackson went on a strange, ‘organization-wide’ rant in which he ripped everyone except the hotdog vendors, following his team’s season-ending 38-26 loss to the San Diego Chargers in a contest that could have catapulted them into the postseason.

Tim Tebow Trouble!

Tim Tebow had a ‘game for the ages’ against the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s regular season finale, but not the way you might think Eye on Sports readers.

You see Eye on Sports followers, the controversial Tebow completed just six of 22 passes for a pitiful 60 yards with just 16 rushing yards on six carries. Now, I’m a staunch Tebow supporter, but as I wrote in last week’s Eye on Sports blog concerning Tebow’s recent play, it’s become very clear that Tebow is still a long ways off when it comes to being a genuine NFL passer. Having said that, let me also say that it’s also clear that the Denver Broncos made a huge mistake in jettisoning veteran quarterback Kyle Orton in favor of the still learning Tebow.

Oh, well.
