The Shemar Stewart holdout feels like classic Bengals dysfunction

3 weeks ago | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

Our hilarious AFC little brothers are at it again with another disgruntled defensive player awaiting an acceptable contract from the team. When NFL historians peer back into the decade of the 2020s years from now, there will be a lot of themes for them to dive into.
Why the Chiefs' low-key offseason thus far is no reason to panic

1 month ago | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

Many in Chiefs Kingdom and around the NFL coverage multiverse have shown varying levels of concern surrounding the Chiefs' seemingly "quiet" off-season. Should fans be concerned? Not so fast. Sports in 2025 are a much different beast than they’ve ever been.
Chiefs likely to prove how dangerous assumptions can be in 2024

Dec 5, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

Assumptions are dangerous. Many times people find themselves going as far as damaging their own mental health because they can't stop making them. "Look at the nerve of this guy to cut me off in traffic. He must think he's better than everyone!" Sure, he might. But he also may have a wife who is in labor in his passenger seat. Assuming the intentions of others is not too dissimilar to assuming you know how a football season is going to end.
5 important truths Chiefs fans need to remember during the bye week

Oct 15, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

The bye week is typically a week in the season that ushers in a much-needed tea break for not only NFL teams but their fans as well. After all, a 17-game season is a complete mental and physical grind for the players, and without question can be taxing on the mental and emotional health of respective fanbases as well. So once a team gets through 7, 8, or 9 games to kick off their schedule, a little time off is just what the doctor ordered for NFL players and fans alike.
NFL Predictions, Week 5: How will the Chiefs offense respond without Rashee Rice?

Oct 3, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson |Tennessee Titans |Philadelphia Eagles

How many times have you, presumably a Chiefs fan like myself, walked away from a win over a divisional opponent on the road feeling worse about the team than you did when the game kicked off? Going back to October 17, 2019 would be a good start. That night the Chiefs beat the Broncos 30-6 in Denver, but lost Patrick Mahomes to a knee injury.
The Chiefs will be painful to watch (at times) in 2024, and that's ok

Sep 27, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

A lot of people can relate to having one nagging problem that keeps creeping into your day-to-day life over and over again. Maybe you hit the stoplight wrong every morning on your commute to work. Perhaps the dog in the apartment next to yours wakes up at 5 AM every day and lets the entire complex know it, and your alarm doesn't go off until 6:30. Whatever it is, there's a point in time where you feel like it's never going to end and ultimately drive you crazy. Then your solution brain kicks in.
NFL picks, Week 4: Bills-Ravens, Chiefs-Chargers highlight a solid AFC slate

Sep 26, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

Unlike the Kansas City Chiefs, who are 3-0 after a close victory in Atlanta last Sunday night, summer never remains undefeated. While this may be a bummer for those who enjoy being slightly-to-extremely sweaty at all times (or boat owners), for folks like me, fall is a seasonal change welcomed with open arms. The last few days have felt distinctly autumnal for those in the Kansas City area.
NFL Predictions, Week 1: the Chiefs and Ravens kick off the 2024 season in primetime

Sep 5, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

We're back. We're so back. After an incredible opening weekend of college football and Labor Day behind us, it's time for one of the biggest weekends of the year: NFL Kickoff Weekend. It's not exactly productive to spend every waking moment anticipating something that is inevitably going to come, ignoring other aspects of life just to visualize how glorious it's going to be to welcome back that ass indention in your couch every Sunday when the boys kickoff again.
Do we understand how great Patrick Mahomes actually is?

Aug 31, 2024 | arrowheadaddict.com | Charles Robinson

One of the most common symptoms of the human condition is losing track of the present. So often we find ourselves dwelling in the past, conjuring the "damnit, I should have handled that this way" or wishing that maybe we would have invested that money instead of spending it on that new golf club that still hasn't fixed your game. Sometimes the past will even lead to you replaying past conversations in the shower, creating an alternate ending and finally winning that argument with your coworker.
