The Chiefs hope to have filled one of those holes last week with the signing of veteran Center and ex-Chief Casey Wiegmann last week.

Apparently the Rexican diet has a down side, which along with potential cardiac arrest and lack of ability to out run zombies, includes low self esteem and some embarrassing Sports Center highlights.
The famously fat New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan underwent lap band surgery Saturday to assist him in fighting obesity. This of course comes on the heels of Rex's gut being plastered a...

With children one thing is for certain; if you let a kid get away with something once, the odds of them doing it again shoot throw the roof. Think about it. Kid steals a cookie before dinner, you let it slide, be darned sure that kid will be pounding 3 or 4 more before the meal and then refusing to eat the tuna helper you whipped up.
