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. 

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.

Oh Romeo, There Thou Art!

Apparently, I’m not the only one that believes that Kansas City Chiefs interim head coach Romeo Crennel should get the team’s permanent position for next season and beyond after seeing im lead the mediocre Chiefs to the biggest upset win of the season in shocking the previously undefeated Green Bay Packers 19-14 this past weekend.

Not only is Crennel a class act that is widely loved by his players, but he’s also a knowledgeable head coach that deserved better than he got in his stint as the head coach of the browns a few years ago.

Here’s to hoping Crennel, one of the true ‘good guys’ in professional sports, lands the Chiefs job, sooner rather than later.

Chiefs Luck Up, Find Better Quarterback?

I know the Kansas City Chiefs are mired in the midst of a uninspiring season that’s coming n the heels of their 10-win season from a year ago, but I’m thinking the Chiefs may have lucked up and found a better quarterback than injured incumbent Matt Cassel.


That’s right gridiron gang, in spite of his failures with the Denver Broncos this season, I believe that Kyle Orton is better than Cassel.
