Rockin’ Back Into Summer’s Consciousness
The slow crawl back to musical normalcy has picked up a few beats with big shows and acts lining up. Looking back and ahead with names like Garth Brooks, Billie Eilish, Jason Mraz, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Foo Fighters, and other diversions as well.
In the Game, After Being Saved at the Game
In advance of World Stroke Day on Thursday, October 29, a compelling conversation with Kansas Citian Bill Martin, 54, who credits his beloved Kansas City Chiefs for saving his life. Stroke is the 2nd leading cause of death and 3rd leading cause of disability worldwide, and Martin’s story of fast medical action at a Chiefs game after he suffered a stroke is a unique one.
Grading on a Scale
The football weekend turned more fascinating when the Patriots unexpectedly had something for the Chiefs. A great breakdown of strategies to slow down Patrick Mahomes and his crew…but not beat them, of course. And college football in the area is working at mighty different levels.
Ignoring Obstacles and Achieving Over and Over Again
Raised in New Jersey as part of a large family, Deron Cherry was a star high school and college player, and then shrugged off being a free agent to become one of the great safeties in the NFL.

Chiefs Come Out Smoking, Royals Play With Fire
The weekly banter blast has plenty of fireworks, maybe not as maybe as the Chiefs rolled out in their opener, and also takes a look at Brady Singer’s no-hit bid and Royals handling of it. That and some fun trivia and other detours.
Two Kansas City Stalwarts Pen Chiefs Title Tales
Two great conversations with esteemed Kansas City Sports writers Adam Teicher and David Smale, who have each just released new books on the Kansas City Chiefs, their title season, and what led up to it.
A Mixed Bag For Our Times
A variety of sports topics that are in some cases vital, in some trivial, in many just the diversions we missed in sports. The Chiefs break camp as Patrick Mahomes speaks out strongly, the Royals knack for losing, Sporting toughs out a point, big drama in golf, and we lose some iconic figures.
Changing Policies, Odd Meanderings, and Rampant Optimism
The weekly enjoyable banter is at full throat again with the Chiefs testing the waters with fans in the stadium this weekend with new policies both logistical and political in place. Les Miles raises eyebrows with more unusual answers, the Royals and their decisions in a differing trade landscape, and more.
Chiefs and Fans Kick Back and Watch Them Fall
The champion Patriots meekly bow out, and now the Chiefs
plot revenge on the Texans and a return trip to the AFC title game. All that and
some college football in a nice mix.
