Chiefs’ Tamba Hali Defends Joe Paterno With Robert Kraft-Aaron Hernandez Question
Tamba Hali had quite a weekend on social media.

Chiefs Sign RB C.J. Spiller, Possibly Moving On From Jamaal Charles
Share this: The NFL free agency period has not yet begun, but the Kansas City Chiefs have already made a splash. The team announced the signing of veteran running back C.J. Spiller on Friday. The 29-year-old back had brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets last season, playing in a total of six games between the two teams.

Travis Kelce Ejected From Chiefs-Jaguars For Throwing Towel At Referee
Share this: Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce wasn’t able to finish Sunday afternoon’s home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a foolish decision. Kelce lost his cool after yelling at a referee and threw his towel in the official’s direction. He was ejected from the game immediately after. It looked like Kelce was unhappy with a previous call(s), but there’s still no excuse for his behavior. The Chiefs still won 19-14 to move into a first-place tie with the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos atop the AFC West. Thumbnail photo via Jeff Curry/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
