Thursday Think Tank: ESPN's John Clayton Finds Yet Another Reason for Our Very Own Cecil to Adore Him

The Iron Triangle of the House of Georges is still sorting out the final installments of our now infamous HoG25 series. Until it's complete, rest easy knowing that John Clayton will see your skewed 25, raise you 10.

Keep in mind that the HoG's very own Cecil, when he's not over-occupied with the notion of flogging the dolphin to his Peter King scrapbook, he's really over-occupied with the notion of rubbing pieces of John Clayton's underwear all over his skin.

For real.

From my side of the fence, the list looks okay. I'd probably swap five and six, though.

Remember That One Time?

Word on the street is that the Denver Broncos were also in the hunt for new Chiefs Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel. I'd offer a link to the story, but Denver fans won't believe it anyway. The question, then, is this: Will Mike Nolan demand a trade? Damn straight he will.

Oops, He Did It Again

New Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis and Head Coach Todd Haley held a conference call with the media today to introduce Weis. The audio and transcripts are available here, but what's most important is the transcript leaves the most important phrase out of the introductory paragraph. Have a look:

"As I’ve been sitting for the last month or so at home looking at the NFL and studying the different teams in the NFL, one of things that was really important to me was, as I was looking for a new opportunity, I wanted to go somewhere where fit was the number one criteria. There are several teams out there that are in a hunt for different types of coaches but there had to be a mutual fit, and my relationship with Todd and my relationship with [General Manager] Scott [Pioli] and several other people in the organization just made Kansas City look as one of the prime landing spots for me *and as the process went through and this matriculated* I couldn’t be any more pleased to join this organization. Philosophically, what Todd has expressed to me coincides so closely with how I see things in the big picture that this marriage just seemed a very, very simple and plain one. I’m very, very excited to be a part of a growing process that has been started here in the last year. I’ve been able to watch the team from afar for the last month and gain more familiarity and I’m really anxious to get to work."

The Chief rule is...

...that Thou Shalt Not Keep our Famously Misused Words from Our Blessed Ears. If Weis wants to re-invent the official Stram dialogue, so be it.
