The good news for the Kansas City Chiefs as they prepare for the start of the NFL regular season is that their starting quarterback is back at practice. The bad news is that they still don’t know when hell be able to play. Matt Cassel returned to the Chiefs practice field on Monday for the first time since he injured his left knee in a NFL preseason game on August 29th. Still, there’s been no confirmation from either he or the team as to when hell return to action.

Cassel, who saw his stock shoot up precipitously as an NFL QB following his solid play in New England after starter Tom Brady went down to a season ending injury, signed a six year, $28 million contract with the Chiefs in the off season. Although Cassel was in full uniform at Mondays practice, head coach Todd Haley was noncommittal about whether he or Brodie Croyle would start Sundays NFL regular season opener on the road against the Baltimore Ravens:

“I think that as the week goes on, we’ll know a little bit more. We’ll know a little bit more with Matt for sure. But it was good that he was out there. He was able to get through some things. As the week goes on a little further, we’ll know a little more as far as where he’s at.”

Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme is having a season he’d like to forget, and things got even worse on Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills. Despite dominating the Bills on the stat sheet, Delhomme threw three interceptions that allowed Buffalo to take a 20-9 victory over the struggling Panthers. Delhomme threw for 325 yards, though without any touchdowns. His three picks pushed his total for the year to- which leads the NFL. The Panthers dropped to 2-4 while the Bills improved to 3-4.

Buffalo rewarded NFL pointspread players with the outright victory as +7 road underdogs. The Bills have covered four of their seven games this season, while the Panthers have an awful record against the spread-they’ve only covered once this season for a 1-5 ATS mark.

The Bills’ Terrell Owens was again a non-factor, but gave credit to the defense for earning the victory:

You’ve seen the advertising for protein shakes, whether you wanted to or not.

One of the key ingredients in bodybuilding recipes is protein and more protein.

Some people are old hands at buying, selling and trading guns, but for those that have never bought a firearm before, it can be a little confusing. What they buy will depend on what they need the gun for. They might want a rifle or shotgun for hunting or they might just want a small handgun of some kind for protection. Either way, there are a lot of brands, models and calibers to choose from. Gun ownership is a right, but it is also a big responsibility too.

A professional gun dealer is usually a good source of information. You might not know whether you need a pistol or a revolver and it can be a tough decision. No matter where you live you could need the protection of a gun. They are both good choices, but you might feel more comfortable and confident handling one over the other. You want to choose the one that you think you could handle the easiest is you ever had to actually use it in a serious situation.
