All the teams have played their first game. The prognosticators already smell blood in the water for some teams, and Jay Cutler is Jay Cutler. Ah, yes, the NFL is back, and with all respect to Nina Simone, I'm feeling good!!!!
Granted the week did not begin well for my Chiefs. They were keeping the game close with Falcons during the first half of last week's game entering halftime down 17-10. Then, the wheels fell off, and the Falcons rolled to 40-24 victory at Arrowhead stadium punctuated by a dunk over the goal post by former Chief Tony Gonzalez after his 3rd quarter touchdown. [FYI: Tony Gonzalez entered the Top 10 all-time in receiving yards passing Torry Holt with a 13,391 yards. He's the only Tight End in the top ten, and he's 381 yards from passing number 9 Henry Ellard and 509 from passing Cris Carter at number 8.] After opening the game on a high with cheers from the crowd, TG's dunk brought a shower of boos. While I wouldn't have booed TG, because he's my fave, it did feel like a bit of knife in the heart...sorry, wiping tears for what might have been. I forgive you, Tony. It would have been wrong if you hadn't. It's the last one at Arrowhead. I even cheered, until I remembered the score. Que sera, sera...
