The Monday Mixtape: Lifestyle is much more crucial than the match
Posted by: | Comments
The NBA and the Boston Celtics lost a excellent youthful participant above the saturday and sunday for the entire year, if not more time.
With the yr winding down, I couldn’t assist appear back at a handful of of the athletes we lost this yr. In a existence that is uncertain for each and every of us, many skilled athletes set their lives on the line carrying out what they love. Some leaving us way prior to their time.
A handful of days ago, Boston Celtic guard, Jeff Green (twenty five), was instructed he essential coronary heart surgical procedure to repair an aortic aneurysm, a ballooning of the main artery that carries blood from the coronary heart to the relaxation of the human body.
The previous Georgetown guard was instructed the information right after a regimen physical prior to signing a 1 yr contract value nine million. The medical doctor I consulted called it a “ticking time bomb.”
On the bright side, the medical doctor discovered this early adequate that he can totally recover and nevertheless lead a healthy existence. But coronary heart surgical procedure is no joke, and it is a extended highway to a entire recovery, if not bodily, mentally.
End for a minute right now wherever you are and be thankful. Thankful you might be not in a hospital mattress. Thankful that you have motion in all of your limbs. And thankful for the breath that you breathe. Although it may possibly audio cheesy or overdone, we will all knowledge health concerns in our existence. Possibly not at twenty five like Jeff Green, but we’ll all think back to a time when existence was almost ideal. A time when we unintentionally took existence for granted.
Even you.

Amazingly, the Kansas City Chiefs are your last undefeated team
Posted by: | Comments 
No matter what happens tonight, just one team will end Week Four with the perfect record in football: The Kansas City Chiefs, after all.
The Chiefs rode their bye week to the head of the NFL standings, after Chicago looked completely inert in a loss to the Giants. Each of the contenders were sorted out. The Chiefs are the team to overcome.
But, why? How?
Here’s what the stats say: The Chiefs rank third in rush offense. They’re the second one-least penalized team within the NFL. They’re second in scoring defense. They’re fifth in rush defense. They’re by far the perfect in defending kick returns, and that they pin their opponents deep after they punt. They’re second in punt returns.
The Chiefs play slow, deliberate games and feature a bend-but-don’t-break defense. Their passing game might be inept, but Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles grind out good yardage on runs and minimize opponent possessions. They do not beat themselves with penalties, and use special teams to create field position advantages.
It’s not a gorgeous approach to win, nonetheless it seems like they’re doing all of the little things right.
Suddenly, with the Chiefs undefeated and Sam Bradford lighting it up in St. Louis (!), Missouri’s now not the football wasteland it were lately.
Great googly-moogly.

Kansas City linebacker arrested for theft
Posted by: | CommentsMike Vrabel the Kansas City Chiefs linebacker was arrested for theft Monday at a Florence, Ind., casino. He was arrested at the Belterra Casino Resort & Spa on a Class D felony charge — the lowest level of felony crime in Indiana — but was released Monday morning after posting a $600 bond.
He was seen taking “bottles of alcohol from a deli” without paying for them by an Indiana gaming agent, Indiana Gaming Commissioner Director of Enforcement Kenny Rowan told KMBC 9 in Kansas City.
The 35 year old Vrabel was arrested at 5:30 a.m. and released about five hours later. The crime carries a penalty of six months to three years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
Before being traded to Kansas City along with quarterback Matt Cassel, Vrabel, a 15-year veteran, won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.
Vrabel has also been a vocal member of the NFL Players Association and is among the 10 players named in the NFLPA’s antitrust lawsuit against the league.
Tamba Hali given franchise tag By Chiefs
Posted by: | CommentsThe Kansas City Chiefs put the franchise tag on linebacker Tamba Hali, who went to the Pro Bowl this past season as the AFC’s leading sacker. They are still hopeful of reaching a long-term agreement with the outside linebacker, their first-round pick of 2006.
As a non-exclusive franchise player, Hali is guaranteed a one-year contract equal to the average paid last year to the five highest-paid players at his position if he stays with Kansas City. He can still negotiate with other teams. But the Chiefs would get two first-round draft picks from any team that signed him.
After he was drafted out of Penn State in 2006, Hali was put at defensive end opposite Jared Allen. But he proved undersized at 265 pounds and was moved in 2009 to outside linebacker. There, he blossomed. His pass-rushing abilities helped the Chiefs make a franchise-record six-game improvement to 10-6 and win their first AFC West title since 2003.
In addition to his 14½ sacks, Hali had 50 tackles, 19 quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles.
An affable, outgoing man, Hali is one of the Chiefs’ most popular players. He is a native of Liberia and lived in constant danger in the war-torn country as a youngster before moving to New Jersey with his father. In 2006, he was excused from training camp to fly back to New Jersey and be sworn in as a citizen of the United States. After much bureaucratic wrangling, he was finally able to move his mother to the United States.
