  • Ain’t that some spit!!!

    What can you say about 15 minutes of fame and some cache to go along with it?  The past 8 days have been an example of how low some people will go in order to get some greenbacks for doing tricks on their back. Yes, I am talking about the flood [...]

  • He can run, but he can’t hide

    Welcome to a new day, and more Tiger Woods drama.  It was back to work today and the water cooler conversations started on Woods before 6 am.  The consensus is that he’ll be fine.  The only negative for him is that the cops are going to make an example out of him [...]

  • Mangino throwing his weight around

    Mark Mangino lost a tough game against Missouri on Saturday, and he sauntered into the press conference and threw his  weight around as he told reporters that he plans on doing what he normally does, which is to prepare for next season. Huh? Next season?  Really?  Yeah, that’s what he said. I don’t [...]

  • Wichita might be the ‘City of Witches’ after all

    Number of comments: 1
    Not sure what’s in the water down in Wichita, but they’ve had a pretty horrible run of late.  I don’t usually jump on the smaller cities, but they have been in the news for some straight craziness for the past year or so.  You could point back to BTK.  You [...]

  • Send NASA to Afghanistan

    There seems to be a renewed argument surrounding the US war in Afghanistan.  People are jumping President Obama for Afghanistan.  It’s not like he started the war there.  Yet, he is getting advice from everyone.  Well, almost everyone.  Apparently, we have hit 8 years in Afghanistan.  There were local protests held [...]

  • Ghey rights don’t exist

    Number of comments: 7
    I have never understood the furor in which gheys attack society for failing to “honor” them as gheys.  The gheys took to the streets in Washington DC this weekend to make a statement.  The gheys are demanding federal protection for their gheyness.  Are you serious? There is no such thing as “gay [...]

  • A better way to lose

    Number of comments: 1
    The KC Chiefs have found new ways to stick it to the fans.  They did everything to give the game up and they did it well.  Do you remember my question last week as to whether or not the Chiefs should retire Priest Holmes’ jersey?  Oh, a couple of you replied [...]

A recent ranking by The Sporting News lists KC as the 49th best sports city.  Do you think that’s a fair assessment?  I mean, it’s not [...]
