Yesterday, your hometown gridiron heroes traveled to sunny San Diego to act as sacrificial lambs at the hands of the Bolts. But something strange happened: Herm and the gang decided to be a relatively decent team for a day. Tyler Thigpen, perhaps Coastal Carolina University’s most famous alum, acted like a good quarterback. The defense opted to stop running plays, shunning their usual M.O. of simply ignoring them. It was actually a contest. So was it enough? Ha, of course not. The Chiefs scored with 23 seconds left, elected to go for two instead of the easy tie, and failed in epic, Chiefian fashion.
The Royals have always been considered the worst team in this town. But consider this: your hometown nine finished with a .463 winning percentage last year. The Chiefs have a .111 winning percentage, and have lost 17 of their last 18 games. Even the hapless Rams have won two games. Something needs to change, Clark. But I guess we already know how you feel.
