The general feeling in Kansas City post-deadline day is that the Chiefs tried all they could to make a deadline move happen http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/dustin-colquitt-jersey , but the fit and value just weren’t there. We referred you to the report from friend of the site Terez Paylor (Yahoo! Sports) this morning, who wrote this: If you haven’t had the opportunity to yet, read Paylor’s full column for a glimpse into the Chiefs’ thinking. Paylor also goes through the several reasons the Chiefs didn’t trade for safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, who ultimately landed with Alex Smith in Washington. I provided my take on the Chiefs standing pat at the deadline here.Still-Giants safety Landon Collins told SNY the Giants wanted a first or second-round pick for his services, plus an additional pick next year.The local Kansas City media asked Chiefs head coach Andy Reid for his take on the quiet deadline on Wednesday. In response http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/ron-parker-jersey , Reid told the media to ask general manager Brett Veach, who wasn’t made available for questions.“I mean that’d probably be a good question for Brett (Veach),” Reid said. “I know where his mind is, there just wasn’t anything there that he felt he needed to move on. He felt comfortable with doing that. He’s not going to do something just to do it to appease. “He’s going to do what’s best for the Chiefs and he’s really good about that. That’s just where he’s at.” On Thursday, Daniel Roberts wrote an interesting article for Yahoo! Finance noting that since the New England Patriots defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship last weekend http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/mitchell-schwartz-jersey , prices for Super Bowl tickets on the resale market — where most team fans buy Super Bowl tickets — have plummeted.The immediate, visceral reaction to this news from a Chiefs fan — coming as it does after a heartbreaking overtime loss just days ago — could easily be predicted: “Of course.Nobody except Mark Wahlberg likes the Patriots.”And that’s not just pure partisanship.Prior to the game, there was solid evidence that America was rooting for the Chiefs.Now that’s a matchup between red and blue states we can all agree looks pretty awesome!According to the article, ticket resellers were hoping for a matchup between the Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints.Their logic seems pretty solid: it would have been easy for Saints fans to drive to Atlanta to see the game in the city’s brand-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Chiefs fans... well http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/allen-bailey-jersey , since they hadn’t seen their team in the Super Bowl since the 1969 season, they would have been willing to travel to the game via dogsled to get to a Super Bowl in Anchorage, Alaska; a 12-hour drive to Atlanta in the family sedan (with Chiefs flags flying) would have represented no challenge at all.(And yes... I know they have roads in Alaska.I’ve seen Ice Road Truckers on The History Channel.Why else do you think I would propose Chiefs fans might rather travel to Anchorage by dogsled?And yes... I know there is no NFL stadium in Anchorage.But the Raiders still haven’t figured out where they’re going to play in 2019, so there’s still hope for Alaskan NFL fans.)Interviewed on the Yahoo! Finance Sportsbook podcast, TickPick CEO Brett Goldberg noted that the distance between Los Angeles and Atlanta is a factor — “it’s a really long trip Authentic Tyreek Hill Jersey ,” he said — and that the Los Angeles fanbase isn’t yet fully developed.Patriots fans, however, represent a different problem for the ticket resellers.If I may say so, this is an extremely unsettling state of affairs.It’s bad enough that the Patriots have dominated the playoffs for the better part of two decades, and in so doing Womens Eric Murray Jersey , have earned the disdain of America’s NFL fans.But now we have to learn that Patriots fans are so accustomed to their team playing in the championship that they’ve learned how to buy secondary-market tickets to the game more cheaply?This has to stop!Clark Hunt... Brett Veach... Andy Reid... Patrick Mahomes... America is counting on you to make this season the end of the Patriots dynasty.Don’t let us down in 2019.And Patriots fans... thanks for the tip on how to buy Super Bowl tickets intelligently.That will be very useful over the next 10 or 15 years. |
