        This column is not intended as a rationalization of Dwayne Bowe&amp;rsquo;s mistake relating to performance-enhancing drugs. Nor is it intended to be a demonization of Chiefs head coach Todd Haley. My perspective on the world is colored by my football-playing experience and my belief that most of the media tends to see the sports world from the perspective of coaches and executives.

        The one thing you get used to in Kansas City is learning how to appreciate athletes who perform valiantly when there isn&amp;rsquo;t much at stake. Still, we should take special joy from Royals pitcher Zack Greinke, winner of the 2009 American League Cy Young Award.

        Even as losses piled up, Kansas wasn&amp;rsquo;t part of the late autumn coaching-carousel discussion. Mark Mangino, the thinking went, banked enough equity in the program&amp;rsquo;s successive bowl seasons, to withstand even a last-place finish in the division. But this week&amp;rsquo;s revelations have altered the outlook, and Mangino is no sure bet to reach a ninth season in Lawrence, or even finish this season.
