The Democrats and Republicans in Washington are fighting it out about how many billions of dollars it will take to stimulate the economy. Hint: The Democrats will win because they won most of the elections in 2006 and 2008. It’s their baby.

I could write post after post about it, but I am holding off. It is tough. We’re still on the honeymoon, right? What’s a few billion dollars?

So, on to sports! That stimulates me right now.

The Kansas City Chiefs today hired Arizona offensive coordinator, Todd Haley, as their new head coach. He is 41 years old.

This is good news for us Chiefs fans. Now we have a new beginning with Haley and new GM Scott Pioli.

While last season’s record was a dismal 2-14, there are a lot of young players that gained valuable experience. Looking ahead, the Chiefs have about $37 million to play with before going over the salary cap. So, let’s go shopping! The Chiefs will also have the third overall pick in the upcoming draft (behind Detroit and St. Louis) and a couple of veteran players who want trades, plus a couple who should not be back and were getting big salaries.

I’m all for the Chiefs trading RB Larry Johnson, but I against trading TE Tony Gonzalez, who just completed one of his best seasons ever. Tony G still has some miles left in his tank and with the new improved front office; he may just get a chance to win a playoff game.

Have a great weekend!
