Getty ImagesAs expected, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Arizona Cardinals will breaking up the monotony of training camp by trying to break each other’s bones.
The Chiefs have announced that the Cardinals will swing by Missouri Western State University during the week of August 5 for joint practices.
“Training camp is about us continuing our development and evaluating our players,” coach Romeo Crennel said. “We are very excited to be hosting another NFL team in St. Joseph. This will give us another opportunity to further evaluate our team under a different set of circumstances before we get into our preseason schedule.”
The visit will come after the Cardinals face the Saints in the Hall of Fame game on August 4, and it will culminate in the Chiefs and the Cardinals squaring off at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday, August 10.
“There are many benefits to this arrangement and we appreciate Coach Crennel and the Chiefs working to make this happen,” Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “Logistically, it makes a lot of sense since we play Sunday night in Canton and then Friday night at Kansas City, but I’ve always found there’s also great value in getting work against another team in a setting like this. We’re looking forward to it.”
So are we. When two different teams get together for training-camp practices, the chances of a fight or two breaking out increase significantly.

Football fans don’t follow the sport for the fights….unlike many of these other moron “sports”
Florio, NBC SPORTSTALK needs a desktop app. I’m sure I’m not the only person to mention this. Add that to the top of the list. Same format as the mobile app would be nice
So you are looking forward to it because of the increased chance of violence after the whistles? Seems awful barbaric. Also seems like a huge double standard, can’t wait for them to do it so we can unleash criticism about lack of discipline and how there is no place for it in todays game.
You guys (commentators on this site) want to make it a lose lose scenario for journalists! I for one like to hear about the scraps in camp. nflfollower, you need to take up badmitton! People do care about camp battles (and yes i get ur point but want you to be more responsible).
People that can’t spell and can’t complete sentences care about “camp battles”.
There is no place for fighting after the whistle. I do understand that adrenaline gets going and players sometimes get caught up in the moment but when it all comes down to it, it’s a game. You hear it time and again from players that they feel privileged to be playing a game professionally. A GAME. The added nonsense is just that. NONSENSE.
Oh wow, the Chiefs and the Cardinals!
No thanks.
