Blabbermouth in KC

So I'm reading Sean Keeler's blog, and I come across this story on Kansas City Chiefs wideout Tony Gonzalez running his mouth. He said in an interview with Yahoo! Sports that he hears about this coach from Iowa State who could be their head coach.
Hold on, there Tony...
The coach I think you are talking about is Kirk Ferentz and he is with the Iowa Hawkeyes, not the Iowa State Cyclones.
What makes him even worse is that he would not appreciate that [expletive] as a coach.
OK, listen, Tony, he is one of the premier coaches in the NCAA and has some NFL experience under his belt. You are rebuilding as a team and if I were you, I would embrace a coach of that caliber to lift this franchise back from the dead. But, hey, how would you know? You play in a sports market that is as sleepy as watching paint dry. Know your facts.
Now I know why Andy Fales left the Kansas City market to come back to Des Moines. Because of silly comments like that.

Column troubles

As I try to find a way to write my column for next week's edition, I'm having a bit of trouble. It's about Valentine's Day, but not sure what angle to take it off of. Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, because on this one, you can really show your gratitude towards someone. Love is a beautiful thing and should be expressed in a way like none other. Love conquers all, but why can't I conquer this column?

Super Sunday

As I watched the Big Game with my family while celebrating my birthday last night, I realized that football can be a refuge for Americans. They got a good refuge, too, as this could be one of the greatest Super Bowls ever played. Not every night will you see a record-setting play and two legendary quarterbacks go at it. The Steelers are now the supremacy of the NFL, and last night, they deserved to win. Even if it was one or two plays that Arizona was beaten on.
I disagree with the MVP, however. I'm not saying that Holmes's catch with :35 left wasn't amazing, but the one player who deserves the most credit is QB Ben Roethlisberger. He ran the show last night. This man has gone through some hardships recently, but he puts that aside for three hours to give fans an entertaining, super finish.
