Kansas City Chiefs - Cincinnati Bengals Preview

After losing to the Steelers in overtime, the Chiefs return home to host the Cincinnati Bengals (4-5), who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in a very even AFC. The game will begin at 12:00 p.m.

Kansas City had a great opportunity to knock off Pittsburgh last week, but several untimely penalties prevented the team from expanding an early lead. After making a brilliant throw to help the Chiefs force OT, quarterback Matt Cassel was picked off in the extra period which essentially ended the game. Turnovers have been the biggest reason why the Chiefs currently sit at 1-8. Jamaal Charles is quietly having another strong season, and Kansas City will need him to have a monster game to score points. The Chiefs receiving unit is very banged up, as Jonathan Baldwin is out with a concussion and leading receiver Dwayne Bowe has been limited by a hamstring injury.

Many Chiefs fans have speculated that Brady Quinn would get another shot at the starting quarterback role, but Matt Cassel has been officially named the starter for Sunday. Head coach Romeo Crennel has stated that Quinn is still recovering from his concussion and has not yet been cleared to play.

The Bengals are coming off their most impressive performance of the year, a 31-13 win over the defending champion New York Giants. Andy Dalton has become a solid NFL quarterback, and receiver A.J. Green has quickly become one of the league’s top wideouts. The Chiefs defense has not lived up to its preseason expectations, but it has the talent to keep the Bengals offense in check. Kansas City will likely need to force a few turnovers to slow down Dalton and Green and give its struggling offense a short field to work with.

The Chiefs proved last week that when they limit turnovers (Kansas City had zero during regulation) they can still compete with anyone. Still, it is hard to see this team repeating that type of performance two weeks in a row, especially with a banged up receiving unit. The Bengals are fighting for a playoff spot and have a lot of confidence, and also may be getting several good players back from injury. The Chiefs will likely need a few turnovers to pull this one out.

Audio Experts Claims Bigfoot Exists & He Is In Missouri

According to a crypto-linguist expert, not only is Bigfoot real, he is currently roaming about in the woods not far from Kansas City.

Scott Nelson, who spent 17 years in the navy intercepting Russian communications and decoding them, has become a believer in the Bigfoot/Sasquatch theory and believes the creature is roaming remote areas outside of the Kansas City area. Nelson currently works as a professor at Wentworth College.

Nelson has studied vocalizations that were caught on tape, and slowed them down to discover language being used by a creature that is not human. As a result, Nelson has become a full believer in the theory of Bigfoot, and thinks that the creature has frequented remote and uninhibited areas of Missouri for over 100 years.

The Bigfoot phenomenon has been going on for decades, with dozens of reports and amateur videos surfacing every year attempting to prove the existence of the creature. The state of Missouri, in particular, has had many reports, although “experts” have deemed almost every single one to be fake.

It sounds like Kansas City residents need to be on the lookout the next time they take a camping trip in Missouri.

Man Charged With Bethany Deaton's Murder Claims Her Husband, An International House Of Prayer Leader, Ordered The Killing



Micah Moore

Yesterday, Jackson County prosecutors reported that Micah Moore, who has been charged with the murder of Bethany Ann Deaton, claimed that he was instructed to kill Deaton on the order of her husband Tyler.

Tyler Deaton, Bethany’s husband, is a spiritual leader of a group that uses sex as a part of its religious mission. Moore claims that he and other members of the religious group engaged in a series of sexual assaults on Bethany at a house in Grandview, MO, where many of the group members live. Moore then stated that Tyler Deaton ordered him to kill Bethany. Tyler is now officially under investigation for his wife’s murder.

During questioning at Grandview police headquarters, Moore explained that he and other members of the group gave Bethany Deaton Seroquel, a prescription ant-psychotic drug, before sexually assaulting her. Moore claims that the men in the house then engaged in sexual acts with Tyler Deaton. According to Moore, Deaton ordered his wife to be killed afterwards due to his fear that she would reveal the activity in the house to her therapist.

Bethany Deaton’s body is currently being examined by the Jackson County medical examiner’s office. Her body was discovered on October 30 in a van at Longview Lake with a plastic bag over her head, her killers intending for her death to be an apparent suicide.

Deaton and several acquaintances joined the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, although the group’s president, Allen Hood, has claimed that Deaton is part of a group that has operated separately from IHOP “under a veil of secrecy.” Bethany Deaton was one of those who followed Tyler to Kansas City from Texas.

Bethany Deaton had been working as a nurse at Menorah Medical Center in Overland Park, KS, and had planned to serve as a missionary overseas with Tyler.

Chiefs Fall To Steelers In OT

Despite owning the worst record in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs continue to fight. The team took the Pittsburgh Steelers to overtime last night, eventually falling 16-13.

The weather was downright terrible for this one, which had a big effect on both teams’ offenses. Kansas City took advantage of Pittsburgh’s stalled offense early, grabbing a 10-0 lead off a Jamaal Charles touchdown run and a chip shot field goal from Ryan Succop. However, the Steelers would answer with 13 consecutive points despite losing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to injury. The Chiefs had plenty of chances to extend their lead – Dwayne Bowe had a touchdown reception called back due to a questionable holding call, and Succop missed a short field goal moments later.

Kansas City put together its best drive of the season at the end of regulation, as Cassel converted a couple of clutch throws to move the chains. It appeared that Kansas City was finished after tight end Tony Moeaki was called for offensive pass interference, and the Chiefs faced a fourth and long around midfield. However, Cassel made one of the best throws of his career, stepping up in the pocket and drilling Bowe which gave Kansas City a first down and moved them into field goal range. Succop drilled a low field goal through the wind to force overtime, and it appeared that the Chiefs had all the momentum heading into the extra period.

In overtime, Cassel quickly went from hero to goat, as the maligned quarterback threw an interception on the Chiefs second play that Pittsburgh returned to the five yard line. The Steelers quickly booted the short field goal and escaped with a win, as Kansas City moved closer to the draft lottery.

The story for the Chiefs all season long has been turnovers, and it is no surprise that Kansas City was ultimately beaten due to a Cassel interception. Before Cassel’s overtime pick, the team hadn’t turned the ball over once against Pittsburgh, despite the rainy conditions. The Steelers are a playoff team that hasn’t lost at home all season, so the Chiefs deserve a lot of credit for putting up a great fight and nearly stealing a win. When this team doesn’t turn it over, it can still be competitive. Unfortunately, that seems to be asking a lot from Cassel.

Manhunt In Riverside Underway After Man Attempts To Abduct Girl

Riverside police are currently conducting a manhunt to try to catch a man who grabbed a 13-year-old girl this morning and attempted to drag her into a wooded area. The girl was waiting at her bus stop located in the 4900 block of Northwest Gateway Avenue, and the attempted kidnapping occurred at 6:30 a.m.

The girl was able to escape from the attacker after several people near the scene noticed the attacker and scared the man off by yelling at him. The man released the girl and fled into the woods.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic male in his 30s, with a dark complexion and a heavy Hispanic accent. He has dark hair and dark eyes, and stands around 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin goatee. At the time of the attempted kidnapping, he was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with multi-colored stripes.

This situation is particularly troubling for Kansas City residents as it eerily resembles the kidnapping of Jessica Ridgeway. Ridgeway, who has family in the KC area, was kidnapped and murdered by Austin Reed Sigg on her way to school in Colorado. Ridgeway’s murder and this latest kidnapping attempt in Kansas City shows that parents need to be extremely cautious in regards to how their children travel to and from school.

Anyone who may have information on the situation or the suspect should contact the Riverside Police Department by calling 9-1-1.
