Thursday Thought: But What of the Mansion, Mike?

When my alarm clock went off this morning, one of the first choice words I heard coming at me from the TalkRadios was "Shanahan." Phrases such as "were he to come to Kansas City" and "this deal might actually happen" contrasted with other theories the gents were discussing, such as Shanny waiting for GM/head coach opportunity similar to the one he had in Denver, or taking a year off and becoming the Colts new head coach in 2010, should things not work out for whoever that guy that replaced Tony Dungy is. Naturally, I had to look around for some information on the Nets, and as usual, the boys at Arrowhead Pride had the scoop...

Now, non-Kansas Citians don't know Jack Harry. He's been in the local sports gig for literally as long as I can remember watching sports news on television. He's always been forward and opinionated. He's made a few moves between networks over the years. He's had some folks not care for him. And he loves him some cigarettes. I don't know that I'd call him a behind-the-scenes scoopster, but here's what he published yesterday. Tomorrow will tell how credible the veteran anchor' sources are.

Like Cecil said last week, I can't really process it, and I certainly can't see the man wearing red. Certainly not Herm's sweater-vest red.

(Update: Adam Schefter of NFL.com has reported, in not so many words, that Jack Harry is, um -- however you say "wrong" in English, not a great source. For said faux pas, he'd like Harry to purchase his next order of Lox 'n Latkes. And he gets to have Harry's pickles and 'kraut.)

Thursday Thimble: 1-08-09

What, you are probably asking, is the ridiculousness behind that headline? Well, it means time's of the essence, and we've uncovered a few tidbits worth sharing. Said tidbits, overturned, after the jump...

In what I'm dubbing the shockingest news (thus far) in the new calendar year, Old No. 7's favorite quarterback -- occasionally referred to as Old No. 4 -- is not going to get his 39-year-old hustle on with regard to his decision to continue dragging out his career.

Speaking of Old No. 7, crafty sage that he is, he once told me that having your team featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks" was a jinx to the club's upcoming season. Zoner Sports silently suggests that he's right.

And the news just keeps getting shockinger: Adam Jones allegedly involved in another night-club shooting, cut by the Dallas Cowboys.

The crew at Kissing Suzy Kolber frequently shocks with their words, humor, and PhotoShop contributions. I promise, if you click here, they'll really get you with the latter.

In updates more pertinent to this very House of Georges, Arrowhead Pride has two Patriots-related scoops of plump juicy raisins to offer: There are allegations that Clark Hunt has made an offer to Scott Pioli; they link to Mile High Report who suggests that New England Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels is separating himself from the pack as the next possible leader of the Bronctinent.

That is all. Please return to your free online porn, more professional sports-blogging sites, and personal lives. Oh, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
