Autographs

Last Sunday the Denver Broncos visited Kansas City and whipped the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium 17-9. So far this season the Chiefs have one win and 10 losses, and they are currently the worst team in the NFL.

Broncos’ QB Peyton Manning threw for 285 yards which included two touchdowns and one interception. Chiefs’ running back Jamaal Charles carried the ball 23 times for 107 yards. Dwayne Bowe caught four passes for 41 yards.

After the game, the showers, and the interviews, a local television station (KCTV 5) caught Charles and Bowe acting like groupies waiting outside the Broncos’ locker room. Charles asked for Manning’s autograph, and Bowe asked to get his photo taken with Manning. They were both smiling and giddy when they were caught on video. Charles said the autograph was for his mother. He later posted a video with his mother showing the autograph and saying his mother wanted him to get it for his brother. Maybe it was for Christmas.

Nonetheless, the request for an autograph and photo is being talked about on sports shows and across the web. Continue reading →

Just Football…

Happy Tuesday folks – and that means today is all about football!

The AFC and NFC Championship games on Sunday were pretty darn good.  We can only hope the Super Bowl comes close to this.  With the history of recent games between the Giants and the Patriots, I think it will be a close game. My pick is at the end of the column.

Today I take a look at some of the facts about the upcoming game, the Pro Bowl, Montanans doing well in the NFL, people being stupid, an interview with Peyton, JoePa, and much more – so read on!

Just Football…

OK, we’ve got week one of the NFL season under our belts and half of the teams are losers.  That means there’s only about a 25% chance those “losers” will make the playoffs – that’s a cold hard fact.

We also have a couple weeks of college football in the books and even the high schools are well into their seasons.

My eyes are a little tired this morning – it all started Thursday night with the NFL kickoff and ended with a Monday Night Football doubleheader about midnight (in the Mountain Time Zone) with the Raiders beating the Broncos.

So after the first full weekend of football, here are some of the games, the teams, and the people that caught my attention from the pros all the way down to the high school – read on… Continue reading →

Thursday Numbers

Here we go – the NFL season kicks off tonight – so you know there will be some football-related “numbers” in this week’s column.  Each week I take a look at some of the numbers in the news and put them in one nice place for all to see.  This week I write about campaign donations, unemployment, Lambeau field, telephone calls, lost panties, NFL starts, 9/11, and much more.

There’s something for everyone, so read on… Continue reading →

Caught My Eye…

It’s the Christmas season! Merry Christmas to all my faithful readers!  Here at The Western Word I have been busy getting ready for the Christmas program (I’m a choir member) and decorating around the house. Christmas music is being played at my house and I won’t let scrooge get me down this year…even though I have not been invited to the White House Christmas party…

This week I write about some things that “Caught My Eye” and that I did not have time to write about during the week. Sometimes I add just a little sarcasm…

So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy this week’s Caught My Eye… Continue reading →
