Previous Cowboys/Mavericks/Stars parades were in Dallas. I guess because they're the *Dallas* teams verses the *Texas* team. Maybe Ft. Worth would have a fit if the Texas Rangers chose Dallas? I assume Dallas and Ft. Worth are as petty as Kansas and Missouri. After some Google searches, the closest ...

Kind of looks like the sign is missing a tooth.

I think Sporting KC really missed the mark by not moving downtown.

But they could do that in the same election, could they not? Call it Question 1 and Question 2, and campaign to say yes on both?

It's been there for a few years, pre-COVID. So hopefully it's doing well.

I don't know that trash collectors have a "more dangerous" job than police. But it's certainly a dangerous job. Maybe we should defund the trash collectors because #ATCAB (All Trash Collectors Are Bastards). Then we can wonder why nobody wants to be a trash collector like it's some big mys...

All MLB stadiums face North or East, or some variation there of.

Looks more like a Southwestern conference than a Midwestern conference. But not too shabby.

But I suspect the movement overall discouraged people from becoming police officers. Thus, I think it has to be at least part of the reason for the current staffing shortages.

But on the other hand, a lot of places are short staffed these days, not just the police. So what do I know?

We just had a nation-wide "defund the police" movement. So the staffing issues we're seeing now aren't that surprising.

I know this is just talk, but I'm not sure that will fly with some folks. Chiefs are ok with renovating their stadium, but the Royals need a brand new one?

And I’ve noticed that their cleaning schedule has all the bathrooms being cleaned at the same time. So, one’s closed so you walk to another and it’s also being cleaned. Just seems so strange. Has happened on multiple occasions when I’m flying and in more than 2 bathrooms at a time. Odd. I thought t...

I guess the myth that "if Mizzou joins the SEC, the Big 12 Tournament will leave KC" can offically be laid to rest.

What would the Chiefs get out of this?

After having to explain to a visiting friend about the whole KCI/MCI thing, I've noticed it looks as if they've completely abandoned "KCI" branding. They appear to be using "Kansas City International Airport" or "MCI." Even the website has headlines like, "MCI welc...

Royals confirm they're down to 2 stadium locations. (NKC and East Village) https://fox4kc.com/sports/royals/royals-confirm-theyre-down-to-two-stadium-locations/ I'm surprised NKC is such a serious contender for this. The big problem with AlthingsKC's premise is that, unlike Oakland, the Royals aren...

Exactly. Which would put us at step two:

You can replace Nashville with any non-MLB market. If there is a market willing to pay up to lure a MLB team, the Royals have the be high on the list as teams that could possibly relocate. I don't think an ASG from 11 years ago and ASG voting from 10 years ago is best argument to show how much KC wo...

Looking more and more like KC is getting the St. Louis Rams treatment from team owners. Step 1: Tank the team to discourage attendance. Step 2: Float some stadium proposals that have no chance at passing because people aren't interested due to the team tanking. Step 3: Say you tried to get stadium d...

The Big 12 is adding Mexico, for basketball and football.

"Mexico is a natural extension to the Big 12 footprint..."
