"After nearly two decades of NFL mismanagement, a town full of skeptics greeted Carl Peterson. Years of empty slogans, broken promises and last-place finishes by the Kansas City Chiefs had just about destroyed public confidence.
By December 1988, when owner Lamar Hunt finally made a front office housecleaning, the Chiefs were struggling to their second straight four-win season. Many ticket-holders wondered if he was... Read Full Story

Since Johnston is not a four year veteran, he will enter waivers. As Gretz points... Read Full Story

Dear Carl.
What's left to be said. The Chiefs are stuck in the lowest grade of rebuilding that's even possible. And you decided to hold onto a player who, for all his eminent talents and place in history, will ultimately not do this franchise any good.
So let me ask you, general manager Carl Peterson, if you are by any chance reading this. Would you rather have a decent Draft pick(s) that could materialize into cogs of our future championship runs, or would you forfeit taking any of... Read Full Story

You know that saying about a professional athlete getting out of the game on his own terms? Brett Favre , even at 37, looks to be doing that. And Barry Sanders walked away in the prime of his career. Jerry Rice , on the other hand, had to be dragged off the field (still, he’ll certainly be more remembered for his Hall of Fame performances), and that looks like it’ll be Trent Green ’s fate too.
After suffering his second serious concussion in as... Read Full Story
