I'll have to watch with the volume turned down. That fucking annoying tomahawk chop thing is intolerable.

All of the Chiefs fans around here generally listen to the radio station. They like their announcer...Mitch something I think.

Mitch Holthus. And I don't know why they like him, I think he's one of the worst I've ever heard.

He has a ton of energy.

The gist Ive gotten from the old AFC West fanbases is that Seattle and KC are all about energy. Seattle is the liberal vegan cousin and KC is more conservative BBQ dad. SD and Denver seem to be more moderate and laid back. Raiders fans are terrorists.

A bit surprised the Chiefs are getting picked in this game by so many. I can understand the case for them being favored, but maybe my "Peyton Manning is done panic button" isn't quite all the way functioning.

He does have a ton of energy, but he's so busy coming up with these crazy, over-the-top, nonsensical descriptions that he typical forgets to give you basic information. He'll describe in flowery language the run that Jamaal Charles just had, but you're lucky if you find out how many yards he actually gained on the play. Down? Distance? You might get that every 3 or so plays.

Sounds like Herm Edwards. As a coach.

I got the Broncos. I like their D vs Alex Smith. Manning won't need to win this game for Denver.

Did I just hear them say Jamal Charles was a former Special Olympics athlete ?
This is correct, he has a legitimate reading disability if I recall correctly. Don't ask me for the specific diagnosis. There's a decent youtube video that brushes up on the subject in a section. E:60 I think. Will have to skip the Belcher stuff.

Upon some Google research I answered my own question.......You learn something new everyday I guess.

Interesting...I had no idea.
