The Defense Doesn’t Rest
The Chiefs continue their run fueled by that other side of the ball, the college football playoffs provides something unique, and something ultrafamiliar, and the coaches carousel continues.
Chief Concerns, or Lack Thereof
The weekly banter battle is on, and fun as always. Plenty of silliness, but substance, too, with the Chiefs, Mizzou hoops woes, college football fun, a little trivia, and more.
Embracing Challenges Far and Wide
Born in Japan, and later spending more time immersed in that culture, the former Jayhawk center has continually embraced challenges with curiosity and intelligence, from basketball to philanthropy to poker.
Travels and Travails
The buddies banter boys are back and in fine form with another wide ranging hangout. Road trips, Vegas, Arkansas, teenage angst, Sporting KC, Chiefs, the fact check, and way more on the docket.
Harris Park’s Momentum Rides High With Another Venture
Building upon a golf course and athletic facilities that have helped revitalize the area at 40th and Wayne is a new theater project set to open in the spring. A great chat with park founder Chris Harris, and his theater connection Robert Coppage III.
Assessment Monday
A Chiefs bye week allows for an NFL overview, while a three loss local college weekend brings different levels of analysis. That and the coaching carousel and the playoff situation in intense focus.
Electric Atmoshere Not Enough in Another Playoff Letdown
The juice in the crowd was not replicated by the players on the field for Sporting Kansas City as they were upset 2-1 on Sunday by Real Salt Lake, another upset in a crazy MLS Playoff season. My insights and Peter Vermes breakdown right here.
Decades of All Things Jayhawk
A great conversation with the Parsons, KS native who has been a fixture in his namesake community from playing days at KU, broadcasting for four decades, and making a mark coaching and teaching. Fascinating and fun!
Bubbling Streams of Music Enjoyment and Opinion
The always sharp and enjoyable musical discussion has a lot of streaming on it’s mind. Thoughts on Thundergong, The Beatles and “Get Back”, “tick, tick, BOOM”, Adele, Grammys, musical milestones, and much more.
Litmus Test Time
Somehow, all of a sudden the Chiefs look like a, if not the, Super Bowl favorites. Meanwhile, the college teams produced a mixed bag. Mizzou an emotional if flawed win, KU a feel-good close call, and K-State gets cooled off by Baylor.
