Chiefs Will Never Win Big with Pioli in Charge

Kent Babb is very, very angry. Clearly, the post-injury rebound doesn't seem to be properly post-injury rebounding in Kansas City, but still, it is just two games from a team that made the playoffs two years ago. So do readers think this is typical sports columnist overreaction and blustering, or does Babb have a point about Pioli's inability to build a roster?

SITE NEWS: Spam Issues

You may have notice that FO has been attacked by spammers the last few days. (The FOA 2012 discussion board is now basically unusable.) We're working hard to fix this problem going forward. One of the problems is that the spammers are actually registering as users. This means that even registered users may have to enter CAPTCHA for comments if our filter thinks your comment is possible spam. It's also possible that comments may not appear or be blocked, and you may need to wait for us to approve new discussion board threads. We apologize for the inconvenience.

ESPN: Giants Most Hurt by Week 1 Loss

Vince Verhei points out just how much the Giants' Week 1 loss hurt them when it comes to winning a tight division. Based on a simulation run yesterday, the Giants' playoff odds dropped from 45.7 percent to 19.8 percent in one day.

Why Kevin Ogletree Succeeded and It Doesn't Have to Stop

Great job by Will Brinson at CBS Sportsline. This is why all-22 film for the media will be great. Plus, now I can ask Andy Benoit to write about something else next week, because somebody else took care of Kevin Ogletree for us.
