did they really need to be referred to by their home state

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs running back Knile Davis learned the exact length of a New York minute this week.Thats how long he was a member of the Jets.The former third-round draft pick of the Chiefs was traded to Green Bay a few weeks ago, when Kansas City was flush with other running backs. But after five carries in two games, Davis was let go early this week and signed with New York, only to be cut again before he ever reported there.When the Chiefs lost Spencer Ware to a concussion and Jamaal Charles to another knee injury, and realized that Bishop Sankey wouldnt be up to speed in time for Sundays game against Jacksonville, they would up getting Davis back on a plane to Kansas City.One day after signing with his old team, Davis was their backup running back in a 19-14 victory .It was great to have him back, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.That would be an understatement to Davis, who said he felt like he was home again. Several teammates stopped to slap him on the back as he got dressed after the game, and Reid even whispered a few words in his ear after addressing reporters in the Arrowhead Stadium auditorium.It felt good to get embraced by the crowd. It felt good to get on the field, said Davis, who had three carries for 10 yards and caught a pass out of the backfield. Theres something about playing inside Arrowhead Stadium that you dont get at other stadiums.Davis has had plenty of opportunities in Kansas City, but fumbles and unproductive games had allowed Ware and Charcandrick West to pass him on the depth chart. His biggest value over the past year had been on special teams, where he returned a kickoff for a touchdown in a playoff win in Houston.But with so little depth, Davis proved to be crucial for one very important reason: I didnt have to learn the playbook, he said, so it was cool. I just had to learn the game plan and get up to speed.Davis said hes been keeping tabs on Charles and Ware -- Those are my brothers, he said -- but he never thought his career would return to Kansas City this season. He certainly didnt expect everything to come full-circle so quickly when he was cut by Green Bay and signed with New York.I need to get the Jets to send me a jersey, he said with a smile.Now, Davis is hoping to stick around with Kansas City the rest of the season, even though hes gained a newfound perspective on the harsh, business-first nature of the NFL.Everything was a surprise, from the trade, all of it, he said, but it worked out.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Yeezy 350 .

Travis Kelce is looking for love, and the E! Network made a show about it. Catching Kelce premiered Wednesday night, and follows the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as he embarks on a journey to find the woman of his dreams.The show is the latest incarnation of Bachelor-esque television, only its as if The Bachelor and the Miss USA Pageant had a baby.The program opened with 50 contestants, one representing each state, and each woman had 60 seconds to make a good first impression. From there, Kelce selected his top 20 to move on, and into the obligatory reality-show mansion.It feels like all the other looking for love series, in that sense. However, Catching Kelce makes The Bachelor look like a bastion of feminism. Which is no easy feat.Its not that the show isnt enjoyable. It is, in that Real Housewives kind of way. Theres drama, side-eyes and the sport of guessing which women will fare well. It has all of the hallmarks of a fun reality TV show, if you can stomach the other stuff.Perhaps the most infuriating part of the show is that for most of the first episode, viewers dont really learn the names of the women participating. Granted, introducing the names of 50 women is a lot, and only 20 of them actually end up having substantial?on-air time. Buut, did they really need to be referred to by their home state -- alone -- for the bulk of the first episode?The format isnt much better either.dddddddddddd Kelce awards one person a group date, and the power to decide who will join her. Its a friends, enemies, or frenemies scenario?that will create excellent drama in the form of guaranteed cat fights.Setting aside feminist misgivings, Catching Kelce is also fun and interesting, which is par for the course in terms of dating shows. Kelce aims to expose many of the women to his offseason lifestyle, testing out how they handle parties and events. For those interested in what NFL players do off the field, this show provides a unique insight into that world.Perhaps the biggest surprise of the show is Kelce himself. The tight end is hilarious, and a total goofball. Hes easy on the eyes, and apparently out for a good time.?Catching Kelce is certainly entertaining and fun, but it shouldnt be let off the hook for some of its more unsavory and objectifying moments (hello gratuitous butt shots). It will be interesting to see who Kelce chooses, and if he really finds true love. ' ' '
