About James »

I'm a 37 year old husband to a beautiful wife who doesn't necessarily understand what the big deal is about football, baseball, and everything else sports, but she tolerates me nonetheless.
By day, I manage a team of twenty or so analysts at Kansas City's largest employer. By night, I'm dad to 3 of the most wonderful kids a man could ask for. My daughters love t-ball and even though my wife is attempting to turn my son into a Packer fan, he shows his love for Daddy's teams with a "Go Chiefs, Go Huskers" every night when I tuck him into bed.

    I have to agree with Mike, Jim. Johnson does take alot of bad angles and isn't a good tackler but in his defense, Clancy didn't help...

    No offense, but after watching the way he played today, I think I understand why. Did you notice how many tackles and how many bad angles...

    New Article: Still a Mystery: Chiefs Head Coach Won't Start Derrick Johnson

    Chiefs Head Coach Todd Haley must have had a bad experience as a child at the hands of someone with a last name of Johnson...
