Chiefs Update

There were a couple of happenings today for the Chiefs that I didn't think qualified for a full post. And here they are:

It started with Todd Haley winning NFL Alumni Coach of the Year. This is a prestigious honor, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't mean all that much. Haley finished third in the voting for the Associated Press Coach of the Year, which is what really counts.

Plus, some of the NFL Alumni selections for players of the year were a bit strange and made me question the association. For example, Aqib Talib from Tampa Bay won Defensive Back of the Year. Talib missed five games on the season, including the final four. Maurice Jones-Drew won Running Back of the Year and Philip Rivers won Quarterback of the Year. Obviously, these selections are questionable.

In other news, the 2011 Hall of Fame class was decided tonight. Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Ed Sabol, Les Richter and Chris Hanburger were selected. Kansas City Chief Willie Roaf didn't make the final cut. It was a long shot Roaf would get in this season, but he will before too long.

Michael Vick won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. For the Chiefs (in my opinion of course), the Comeback Player of the year is a tough choice between linebacker Derrick Johnson and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. Both had rough seasons last year and each followed it up with a great 2010 season. So, take your pick.
