Jason Whitlock, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs OG Will Shields is talking line a man who wants to return to the team in 2006. Shields isn't doing anything all that special to commemorate his 11th trip to the Pro Bowl this weekend. He's also not measuring his words when asked about the possibility of retirement. "I'll know in a couple of weeks, maybe by March 3. Isn't that the first day of free agency?" Shields said to Whitlock early Friday evening, Feb. 10, at the Pro Bowl team hotel. "It all depends on my knees and back." Thursday night, Feb. 9, one of Shields' teammates assured Whitlock that this weekend's Pro Bowl would not be the last for Shields. The popular thinking among the players in Honolulu is that the Chiefs, with Herm Edwards pushing the buttons, are the non-playoff team most likely to make a 2007 Super Bowl run. Shields said Edwards' coaching style would benefit his ailing back and knees.

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports Oakland Raiders general manager Mike Lombardi and another Raiders official confronted the Week 9 officiating crew at their bus after the game. With 34 seconds left in the game, the Raiders were called for a tripping penalty after Kansas City Chiefs OG Will Shields held a Raiders defensive lineman and pulled him down in front of QB Trent Green. The penalty gave the Chiefs a new set of downs and they went on to win the game. That led to the heated exchange with the officiating crew after the game that needed NFL security to intervene and break up. The Raiders are not expected to be fined for the incident.
