Once again, we have a "Cardiac Kids" team, squeaking out one victory after another. They have yet to truly dominate a game. Fortunately, domination isn't a statistic that counts in the W/L column.

We have the Vikes and the Donkeys both in the last four weeks of the season. That'll be make or break, I think. The team attitude is excellent here in KC, though. One thing Vermiel brings is a real sense of *feeling*, a family sort of thing. A guy like Dante Hall, who really couldn't be faulted if he strutted a little and acted like hot shit, behaves like he's playing for his grandpa, and is as humble and well-behaved as you'd like your daughter's boyfriend to be. The rest of the Chiefs are much the same way. It is a very refreshing change after the criminal element we had here in the waning years of Martyball.

These guys might be the real thing, but they are going to have to step it up a notch.

And yeah, Syc, you probably are cooler than me. Hell, most people are cooler than me. I'm relatively unhip by modern standards. On the other hand, my team is 7-0... :p
