ESPN cannot count
http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nfl/standings
The standings listed show Denver ahead of KC currently I guess 2 mannings > 3 Reids |

Who gives a ****?
If KC is real this will sort itself out.

Because some have a severe emotional need to see the Chiefs atop the division 'in print' especially over the mules, but don't realize the week has not ended and the will destroy the Faiders and ESPN can't wait to put their Manning knee pads on and put the 'in print' over the Chiefs UNTIL we at least defeat the donks

I guarantee you they are going by the tiebreakers. Some of you go out of your way to be offended.

ESPN lists Denver in first because Denver is in first at the moment. The first measure is not total number of wins, it is won lost tie percentage. This is identical at 100 percent, as clearly reflected in ESPN's standings (that, incidentally, is why ESPN lists the percentage in bold immediately after the record). We then have to go to tie breaker number five, strength of victory, because the others are also tied (or to be more accurate are inapplicable at the moment). As is again clearly reflected in ESPN's standings, this is in Denver's favor (which is pretty impressive with one less game played). All of this is a basic application of the tie breaker rules: http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures
So, it could be that ESPN likes Denver, or it could be that they understand the rules a lot better than you do. |

When it comes to Denver they have no gag reflex at all. They will take the entire tube steak. Same deal with Pittsburg, Dallas, and Chicago. Those teams had glory years with personalities. Stuff that could be talked about.

I did find it rather annoying this morning that keyshawn was talking about how improved the AFCW west was and mentioned everyone but KC... if i had to guess, i'd say it was a petty snub for Reids beautiful dismissal of paolantonio.
