The Kansas City Chiefs!

     The Kansas City Chiefs just became the second team in history to lose the first three games of the season and then win the next four. With a few more home games coming up, things are looking good. I have not been a fan of Todd Haley since day one, but if somehow he can keep this up, all will be forgiven. Sadly though, I have seen this before, it always seems to come crashing down the second a Kansas City sports team does well enough to give us fans a shimmer of hope. Furthermore, with the exception of the Raiders game, the wins were not pretty, but 5 field goals or 10 touchdowns a win is a win and tonight's was fantastic! Also, speaking of the Raiders, I am particularly sad to see Al Davis go, the circus he created in Oakland was always a source of humor and comfort, in that, no matter how bad the Chiefs were, we were still not as big a joke as the Raiders organization.
      While I am off on a major tangent, I might as well as share a link about Kansas City. Kansas City is the home to Boulevard Brewery and the Weston Brewing Company, as well as several good brewpubs and other breweries nearby such as Free State in Lawrence Kansas. If you are reading this from outside of Missouri and have not tried Boulevard, their Smokestack series beers are generally a safe bet, the Collaboration Number 2 (White IPA, collaboration with Deschutes, may be hard to find now), Saison Brett and Bourbon Barrel Quad  are some of the most prominent brews. Kansas City is a fantastic city and the only city in America to make Top Destinations 2012 at Frommer's. The article is interesting, but still barely scratches the surface of Kansas City's charm.
