The Chiefs start training camp today in River Falls, Wisconsin, with their top pick signed! Tamba Hali, the defensive end from Penn State, signed a five-year contract with the Chiefs, bringing all of their picks into camp on time. Hali, who came from Liberia when he was 10, plans to use his bonus money to bring his mother to the United States from the war-torn country of his birth.

Carl Poston, the agent who got Ty Law signed with the Chiefs, was suspended this week by the Players Association for two years. He basically was banned because he is a sloppy, arrogant, and wreckless agent about whom Gene Upshaw said "[Poston] is making a mockery of our system." Carl's brother, Kevin, is still at large as an agent/parasite, representing the best interests of the Poston brothers first and foremost (as well as some Chiefs).

While in Colorado this week, I kept noticing people wearing Broncos jerseys. My gut reaction was always, "way to get yourself beat up, buddy." And in KC, that could happen (especially between August and January). But then I'd catch myself and realize that, no, it's a Chiefs jersey that would get you in trouble here. I wisely stuck to my orange and blue Boise State Broncos t-shirt – my "bronco-flage" – while in enemy territory.
And, yes, Raiders jerseys get you in trouble everywhere, year-around.
