Watching the Chiefs-Raiders game at home Sunday, Ralph Hipp said "boy, Cassel and Haley letting the clock run out at halftime without a field goal is going to come back and kill 'em."
He had no idea how much they would need that 3 points later. That only would have meant overtime, it doesn't mean the Chiefs could have beaten the Raiders. But now he's scratching his head about KC's schedule. He thought they were handed a creampuff schedule when your team finished 2-14. Look at this:
Sunday.. at Philadelphia; October 4th.. New York Giants; October 11.. Dallas; October 18th.. at Washington, before the Chiefs come back to their own division with San Diego at the end of the month.
What is up with this murderer's row in the NFC East.. not fair!! especially to a team that hasn't found its way. Are we looking at 0-7?? Pick one of these teams the Chiefs might beat!
Key: The Raiders' JaMarcus Russell engineered a 69-yard scoring march in the final two minutes despite completing only seven of 24 passes for 109 yards in the game. Russell became only the second quarterback since the start of the 1997 season to try 20 or more passes and complete less than 30% of them but still win.
Raiders said: "I felt really good. The ball was just coming out different for me." -- Russell
Chiefs said: "When you have nine penalties, two turnovers and a couple other lapses, you're not going to win most of the time." -- Todd Haley, coach
John Forth Tribute
Posted by domforth On August - 05 - 2009Full tribute to the original Forthy. He was an absolute legend and we will never forget him!! I'm just so grateful to have had such a wonderful brother. Full of so much character and personality – always making me laugh. We were both afforded similar opportunities in life but the one thing I had in life that John didn't, was him as my older brother. And I attribute so,so much of my success to John. He was brilliant. In John I had both sides to the perfect role model - a brother who was able to teach me what to do and the way to live my life … As Thomas Campbell once said.... 'to live in hearts we leave behind. Is not to die.'
R.I.P. John Forth: 1979 - 2009
Posted by domforth On July - 26 - 2009Devastated is an understatement. I am truly shocked and saddened at the news that my brother John passed away in his sleep Sunday morning. The preliminary cause of death seems to be "coronary atheroma"... More to follow...

Peru, South America 2008
Posted by domforth On Sep - 12 - 2008No visit to Peru is complete without a visit to Machu Picchu. Located high in the Andean Mountains not visible from the valley below, this city has been re-discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. Besides the fascinating Inca architecture and scale of this site, Machu Picchu owns much of its glory to the unique location. Every time you enter the city, you cannot help but gasp. The Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu...
