An Obligatory Cram-It-All-Into-One Post

Well. With the House in such disrepair, let's see if we can't cram our token weekly entries all into one post. I'm pretty sure I've got them all crammed down here in the corner of my trash can basement, so let's see what some scrounging will produce. There's much to cover on this chilly fall evening, so let's not waste any more time.

But before we do, rest assured that the most recent staff meeting has left the HoG staff feeling confident in our return to ultimate InterWebs domination. It will be coming with steadfast surprise and produce posts, pictures and pleasure on a level unimaginable. We have absolutely no idea how that will happen, but we're certain it will.

Scoutin' Those Chiefs

A victory this past Sunday over the Bengals at Arrowhead brought the Chiefs back to even ground. The continued domination of Jared Allen and the Chiefs D shut down the only good thing Cincinnati has going -- a potent O. Add to that that Larry Johnson chose to try this week -- pouty delay-of-game-ball-spiking penalty notwithstanding -- and crossed the century mark for the first time in recent memory. Finally, the Chiefs, ridiculous fourth-quarter non-strategy aside, managed to hang on and seal the win. They sit atop the bizarre AFC West with a tie-breaking edge over San Diego.

Tradition Tuesday

Kansas City's "edge" in the division is as narrow as it could possibly be, and the season is still young. Add to that that very little separation exists between the Chiefs and their foes. As mentioned, the Chargers share the same record as the red and gold, while KC's next foe, the silver and black, share a 2-3 record with the always self-righteous orange and blue of Denver. Young Cutler continues to develop his SEC arm into and AFC West one. Only problem is he's running out of hands (or knees) to catch his passes. Tailback T-Hen looks to tote the rock into November, so his successful early-season production should continue, assuming Old No. 7 is wrong about the Broncos' "joke" of an offensive line. On the other side of the ball, the priceless secondary duo of Chailey and Dry needs immeasurable help from the front four and the linebackers. Seven claims they can't tackle, while stats show they can't stop the run even with a month of God-created orange/blue sunsets on their side.

The next month will be the epitomal after-the-bye-week Litmus Test for the Donkeys; they host Pittsburgh, then Green Bay, followed by road trips to Ford Field and Arrowhead. Kansas City, on the other hand, leaves the Coliseum headed into the bye and will host those same road-weary Packers before el Raton brings his time-out Shanahananigans to town. In case you can't read between the lines, this is where it gets pretty good.

As for the Chiefs, of course there's this, not to mention the Whitlock-alleged flashes of identity the team is beginning to show. But mostly, I'm interested in this.

We Are Hot Chicks Wednesday: Countdown to 11/11



We've got a special selection on hand this week, as a few of America's finest help the House of Georges whittle away at the weeks leading up to the first Broncos/Chiefs matchup of 2007. Jessica Lynn sits a little bit on the fence with these two teams. Along with a couple of other goods, she holds them both dear to her heart.



Joanna Krupa is one of a few special people to make multiple appearances on the HoG. Though she sports a bluish thong, her red heels indicate for which team she roots the loudest.



Zhanna Friske is so excited, she can barely contain herself. Her vow to HoGnation was to implant herself in above tree until the Denver's plane lands in KC. Lucky for her, each member of the House is a volunteer firefighter on the side.



When we hit the lot ready to tailgate, we'll be thankful for our intern Ashlynn Brook. She's agreed to cocktail the extravaganza, free of charge. Ooo...unless that's the weekend she has to work at her "other job."



Finally, the House is always thankful for the Alicias of the world. Handy folks like her are great to have on hand. Her specialty? She keeps the post-game tub warm. And sanitary. Okay. Just warm.

The T-Hen 1500 Watch: Weeks Five and Six

Travis "Who's Your Daddy" Henry" hasn't been covered here on the HoG for a few days. Actually, not much of anything has, but who's counting? Anyhoo, Sunday before last, T-Hizzie and the Broncos hosted the San Diego Chargers, and unless you like powder blue, that game weren't pretty uh-tall. The Hoochster did manage to net 65 yards in the Broncos' three-point offensive showing, a rushing total that brought his year-to-date digits to 498. That's a solid 33% of what was predicted here. Keep runnin', Trav'. You'll get there. Especially with this looming.

October Baseball in the Nighttime

In case you are hooked up to a respirator, or deaf dumb and blind, these guys have won the National League pennant. A. Mazing. Old No. 7 is, as we speak, strategizing to secretly use our corporate funds to acquire some World Series tickets. Problem is, we spent a lot of those monies on hiring our tailgate and post-party crews, so feel free to e-mail us at the address at the bottom of the page to find out how you can help fund the HoGnation's (guaranteed two) trips to Coors Field. Seriously. Don't bother reading the rest of this. Just click on the link. Standby with credit card and PayPal passwords handy.

Had someone shown up to play ball this evening, their opponents would be these guys:

.

Since they didn't (Editor's Note: Some kid named Josh might've pitched a semi-decent game), and the ALCS now moves back to Beantown, it will likely be these clowns:

.

Either way, the Carmona/Schilling matchup has to be better than game five was. Sure. Seven got to swill beer in a pub and rub his crotch every time Manny did something gay (Note: It was likely every time Manny or one of his teammates appeared on the television screen).

That's about it from the HoG. Drop by this week when we'll post stunning interviews with fans of the Raiders and Steelers. Or we won't. But stop by anyway. It'll be a hoot.
