That style of play also served as the catalyst for stirring the Arrowhead faithful into a frenzy each and every home game, and making it difficult for any opposing offense that came to town.Pendergast's defense, by contrast, doesn't unleash the hounds on every play like those great defenses of the 1990s. With his approach, Pendergast tries too hard to out-coach the offensive coordinator on the other sideline when attempting to put his players in a position to make big plays, instead of just letting them go out there and make big plays.The Chiefs need to make a change.If General Manager Scott Pioli and Owner Clark Hunt are interested in once again filling Arrowhead with frenzied fans who have a fiery passion for winning, than they should hire a new defensive coordinator with just as much passion. Kansas City wants someone who's aggressive leading the defense, someone who will turn games into a street-fight, not a chess match.Then after bringing a new defensive coordinator to town, it wouldn't hurt to grab a dominant defensive player like Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh or Tennessee's Eric Berry in April's NFL draft.James Adkins is also a syndicated writer for the Sports Page Network.

That doesn't mean the cold glass of water isn't a fresh, soothing way tofulfill you of your needs.

Outside the bright, shiny walls of the UFC, and yes, such a place does exist, in a world where many of the fighters that you all love, the same ones who moisten your panties, the same ones who were no where near as great as they are now before their pampered, pedicured contracts, there is another civilization evolving faster than a souffle in a hightemperature oven.A place called Strikeforce. Some of the keyingredients involved in the rapid expansion of the California-based promotion all have a similar characteristic, aninseparable bond, a brotherhood out of the Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy of Pleasant Hill, California. For those of you who haven't heard, get your arms off the nuts of Joe Rogan's extremely biased commentating.November 7th, the highly-decorated black sheep of the academy, Jake "I Have a Black Belt But I'm Going To Leg Hump" Shields leg-humped is way to victory over "Mayhem" Miller, in what should of been a war for the vacant Strikeforce middleweight championship. Forget that though, Shields is the Strikeforce middleweight champion, and he will be for a while. Strikeforce president is going to be kicking himself for the stupid amount of money that he wasted on Dan Henderson.Now, as I begin to talk, a storm begins to brew with theintroduction of the Cesar Gracie Academy purple belt who's been terrorizing the lightweight division, the true Strikeforce lightweight champion, Gilbert "El Nino" Melendez. The first legacy to crumble under Melendez will be Shinya "I Should Stick To Jiu Jitsu" Aoki, another walk in the park.Great, two belts are sitting safe inside the academy, but there is always room for one morewaistband of gold, one that just happens to be collecting dust in Scott Coker's basement, right next to his copy of Fighting Promotions For Dummies.With time away from the walls of the hexagon, Nick Diaz has smoked all the weed that he needs to prepare for this fight.. cough.. for medical purposes of course.

On January 30th, he finally wants to take what is rightfully his, the Strikeforce welterweight championship. He was once scheduled to fight the joke of a fighter, Jay Hieron for the strap, but the joke was instead replaced with hype in the build of Marius "Look What I Can Do" Zaromskis.

The fight will end shortly there after by either a KO or submission, with Jimmy Lennon Jr. declaring Nick Diaz the first Strikeforce welterweight champion.Thus, declaring the absolute dominance of the Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy within the Strikeforce banner. The unfortunate outcome of it all is that Strikeforce is the cold glass of water, the spoiled needs of our fat, greasy species will eventually get bored with that glass of water, it's too cold out and they want some hot coffee. Shields, Diaz, and Melendez will eventually spread their wings and fly south to that cup of coffee, the UFC.

Well, maybe Diaz and Melendez, after beating Henderson, Shields will finally crack under the pressure of his hype when he defends his belt against Ronaldo Souza, where he'll get out-classed as Jacare's leg's have anti-leg hump defenses.Regardless, after January 30th and the following months afterwards, enjoy the reign of Cesar Gracie's disciples.Lord Grim has spoken.. Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre said during the post-game conference that coach Brad Childress tried to bench him during the third quarter when the Vikings were up 7-6.“I was getting hit a little bit…. I felt the pressure on a lot of plays,” Favre said. “Brad wanted to go in a different direction and I wanted to stay in the game.”Favre ultimately declined to come out of the game because he felt like he could win the game. Though it’s not clear if the decision to pull Favre was because of his play or if it was to protect the 40-year-old, Favre didn’t know himself.“I don’t know if it’s exactly to protect me, because we had seven points,” Favre said.
