I hope Caleb Hanie passes over 300 yards and Forte rushes for 200 against KC.

Made the most since for the team and KO. KC has McDumbDumb, KO knows that Offense and has performed well in it. the AFCW is so bad KC is still in it, as sad as that is. Now what sucks is, not the great WR, no stud TE and no running game; and that is the formula that KO needs to succeed. But at least he is going to get to play; which I don't think would have happened here.

McDumb is with St Louis now, Jim Zorn is their QB coach but Todd Haley runs the show. This doesn't surprise me with Cassell down and a game against the Bears coming up. Good place for Kyle to land is he wants to play.
What do I think of McCown? I think the name is way to close to a former Bears QB. Change one letter and he becomes McNown!!!!! Bad juju, very bad juju. He was the guy who the Bears were rumored to be talking with before the Orton thing started. Porbably would have preferred Orton and Orton probably would have preferred Chicago over KC but that's life. Chances are all he'll be doing is holding a clipboard anyway and lets' hope that's what it comes to.

I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

Kyle Orton claimed by Kansas City Chiefs on waivers, after he was cut by Broncos

Kyle Orton, cut by the Broncos on Tuesday, was claimed by the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday.
Orton was also claimed by the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears. But he was awarded to the Chiefs (4-6) by virtue of them having the worst record. Dallas is 6-4 and Chicago (7—3).
The Broncos host the Orton-led Chiefs in Denver on Jan. 1 in the regular-season finale. "Well good for him. Congratulations to him," Tebow said after being told Orton was claimed by Kansas City. "That'll be fun to play him the last game of the year."
Orton has been privy to all of the meetings and practices during Tebow's first five starts, knowledge he can take with him to Denver's division rival.
"Obviously he knows the offense pretty well, so he could probably give away a few things," Tebow said. "But I think we'll be OK." Kansas City's starting quarterback, Matt Cassel, injured his right hand against the Broncos on Nov. 13 and had season-ending surgery the next day. Chiefs backup Tyler Palko threw three interceptions in last week's loss to New England.
Orton was the Broncos' starter from 2009 until he was benched in favor of Tim Tebow at halftime of the fifth game this season against San Diego.With Orton and his wife having a newborn baby girl in August, the quarterback was willing to stay in Denver despite a difficult professional situation.
But Orton let it be known that Chicago would be one place he'd like to play. Orton has about $2.58 million remaining to be paid on his $8.89 million salary this year. And the Chiefs are now responsible for that money.
