Chiefs declare an end to ‘Brat Summer,’ rebrand it for training camp

The #Chiefs made a bold statement with one of their posts to Twitter after practice at training camp on Friday.

The concept of a ‘Brat Summer’ has swept the internet over the last few months, and the Kansas City Chiefs took notice.

The season-based phenomenon started with the release of an album dubbed ‘Brat’ by singer-songwriter Charli XCX earlier this year, which captivated listeners with its catchy beats and lyrics.

According to an article on ‘Brat Summer’ from Today.com:

“Gen Z christened it the season of the brat, an aesthetic trend defined by party animal antics, cool-girl style, and lime green everything.”

But the winds of change are in the air. After finishing a successful training camp practice on Friday, the Chiefs officially declared that ‘Brat Summer’ is over, and ushered in a new theme for the rest of the year’s dog days:

While it is unclear if their rebrand will stick with Charli XCX’s rabid fans, the pictures of Kansas City’s players will help lift the spirits of Chiefs fans as the team takes a brief break from workouts on Saturday.

Chiefs mascot K.C. Wolf broke out his best dance moves at First Fridays

K.C. Wolf practiced his dance moves at First Fridays in Kansas City ahead of the #Chiefs’ regular season kickoff.

The Kansas City Chiefs made an appearance at First Fridays yesterday to mingle with fans ahead of their season opener against the Detroit Lions on September 7.

Though First Fridays is known for its raucous atmosphere in Kansas City’s Crossroads district, nothing could have prepared those in attendance for the dance moves that Chiefs mascot K.C. Wolf broke out when he arrived at the monthly gathering downtown.

The rotund canine could be seen getting down with fans and high-fiving attendees with a gusto usually reserved for touchdown celebrations at Arrowhead Stadium.

K.C. Wolf is one of the Chiefs’ best ambassadors and knows how to liven up any party with his quirky dances and over-the-top antics.

While this gathering in the heart of Kansas City may not have been his natural habitat, the beloved canid is sure to be extra juiced up for the Chiefs’ regular season kickoff next week and may incorporate some of these moves into his act against the Lions.

Opinion: Drake Maye shouldn’t have had to apologize

If you were offended by what North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye said this week, I bet you’re a ton of fun at parties.

Listen, I love college sports.  Perhaps a bit too much if we’re being honest, but there is something different about them.  Even with the amount of money that is now involved in all aspects of it, the purity of it is still significantly greater than the pros.

We saw the NFL’s longest running rivalry this past Sunday night between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers and what was the entire rivalry talk of the telecast?  Things that happened before I was even born.  Sure, it doesn’t help that the series has been one-sided for the last 30 years, but rivalries in the NFL feel like such a flash in the pan compared to what they are in college.

Or at least what they’re supposed to be like.

On the many drives I’ve made down the Indiana Toll Road, I stopped at “The Knute” (aptly named gas station/fast food rest stop roughly 30 miles outside South Bend) before a Notre Dame–Michigan game in 2008.  The first person I saw when I got out of my car wasn’t wearing blue and gold or maize and blue, but instead an Appalachian State shirt.

Being a lifelong Domer I thought it was hilarious gave the guy a fist-pound.

I’ve seen what feel like a million college football themed shirts there and on college campuses over the years that have nothing to do with one’s own team as much as they do ripping a rival in an entirely harmless matter.
