Nzoner's Game Room>A new service for you: The Chiefsplanet Doomsday Nuclear Clock
Rain Man 06:16 PM 09-28-2009
Updates:

September 29, 2009 - Tyler Thigpen gets traded: 11:42
November 17, 2009 - Dwayne Bowe gets suspended: 11:51
December 06, 2009 - Matt Cassel gets benched: 11:52
December 13, 2009 - Matt Cassel throws quatro intercepto after benching: 11:53



There's way too much panic here for a situation where we've got new management and a new coach coming in. We've only had three games in our first season of the new regime.

To better guide people on when to panic, I'm proposing a Chiefs' variant of the Doomsday Clock that's run at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

If the clock hits noon, then it's time to panic. The closer it is to noon, the more you should worry. If it's 15 minutes off, then we're relatively safe in the big scheme of things.

Okay, you ready?

The Chiefsplanet Doomsday Clock is currently at:

11:58

With a new regime in place and a new coaching staff in place, and with three games played under the new system, there is no cause for panic. In fact, this is the furthest from high noon that this clock has been since the end of the 1997 regular season.

I'll update this periodically unless I forget about it.






Past clock settings:

Prior to kickoff, 1960 season: 11:30
Prior to kickoff, 1965 season: 11:35
Prior to kickoff, 1970 season: 11:30
Prior to kickoff, 1975 season: 11:44
Prior to kickoff, 1980 season: 11:51
Prior to kickoff, 1985 season: 11:58
Prior to kickoff, 1990 season: 11:55
Prior to kickoff, 1995 season: 11:47
Prior to kickoff, 2000 season: 11:52
Prior to kickoff, 2005 season: 11:53
Prior to kickoff, 2010 season: 11:57
Prior to kickoff, 2015 season: 11:50
2016 postseason: 11:42
End of regular season, 2017: 6:00 p.m.
Prior to kickoff, 2018 season: 2:00 p.m.
January 16, 2019: Clock has been dismantled and reassembled into a music box that plays Rock and Roll Part 2.
August 14, 2020: Clock parts were melted down and reformed into a nice stand to hold the Lombardi Trophy.

Who doesn't know what the doomsday clock is? Everyone presumably graduated from high school history.

Okay, I'm going to move the clock to 11:53 after three or four games of Cassel stinkage and the Cassel benching.

Just curious, what would it take for the clock to got to 11:59? A last game season loss at home to Denver to finish a 0-16 season?

That might do it. I think it would take a lot to get to 11:59, because that's "crowds marching on Arrowhead" crisis time. Maybe if Haley beat Jamal Charles with a baseball bat on the sidelines, or Pioli frames Brandon Flowers for murder.

Actually, any loss to Denver might do it, too. Perhaps it was good that I didn't pull this thread up last week.

If it's the brick you paid for, I'm suing you personally. I'll know, because it will have your name on it.

****, you bump this thread last week and the hands would have spun right the off the clock.

Probably depends on the people, to be honest.
