Monday Night Football - the Chiefs - and Kevin Durant

You know, I watched the Kansas City Chiefs at the beginning of the year, and I have to say that I was not very impressed.  Every aspect of their team seemed to be struggling, and I thought that it was a bit disappointing given the level of talent on their roster.

However, after watching their game last night, I feel that they have a great shot at making the play-offs.  Despite losing their first three games, they are now tied for their division lead and have a pretty favorable schedule moving forward in terms of their opponents current win percentage.  Oakland has a slightly better deal in terms of opponent win percentage, but I have to say with the loss of Jason Cambell they may struggle for a bit - no matter what quarterback they have brought in.  In addition, the Raiders are bringing a new receiver in, so there will be more problems where as well.  In terms of the Chargers, whom the Chiefs beat last night, the truth of the matter is that they look like a train wreck.  It almost seems as if they are going out of their way to lose games, and Phillip Rivers as not looked like the Phillip Rivers of prior years.

In other news, the NBA season was supposed to start today, but alas it did not.  This worked out okay for Kevin Durant, as it allowed for him to go play some random game of flag football last night some college kids (four touchdowns and three interceptions).  The story of how Durant ended up playing was actually pretty good, and involved some random tweet that apparently got answered.  Good for him for staying busy.
