BCS Championship and Super Bowl dreaming

Being a sports fan is tough. Being a sports fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Missouri Tigers Football and Missouri Tigers Basketball has been a tough ride. I thought I'd take a second to dream after this past weekend. I spent my weekend in Columbia, MO and Kansas City, MO watching my two favorite football teams. It all started with an early trip to ESPN College Gameday in Columbia, MO. It was amazing. 18,000 of us cheering and hooting and hollering. I watched a great homecoming...

KC Chiefs are fine and Cassel is not a problem?!?!?!?!

After the Kansas City Chiefs lose yesterday to the Indianapolis Colts 19-9, why does everyone think Matt Cassel was the problem? I am no Cassel apologist and he did not play a good game, but there are many reasons why a team wins and why a team loses. Here are a few points on why KC lost and Indy won: Failed on-side kick to start the game. This wasn't the kiss of death, but I like our chances of holding Manning and Co. to 3 or less from 80 yards rather than 37 or 38. We held them to 3, but by the...

What's new in my world?

Wow.... where to begin? First, I must say that it has been only a couple weeks and here I am blogging again. Whoo hoo! It took me less than a year to write another post. Well, first off, I am very happy with the Kansas City Chiefs win this week over the San Diego Chargers, 21-14. Actually, on my facebook account and maybe even my twitter account, I predicted the score to be 24-17. So I was just a field goal off for both teams. I hope the Chiefs do a good job this week and beat the Cleveland Browns...

Again, Long time no post! :)

Hello blogosphere! Hope everyone is doing fine! This has been quite a hectic year. In particular with work. I'll start with golfing. I have played much better this year, and finally won my first event since 2007 last week at Falcon Lakes. This week is the Kansas City Championship at Shoal Creek. I hope to do well. In a couple weeks I'll be off to Ponta Vedra Beach, FL to play TPC Sawgrass in the Golf Channel Amateur Tour National Championship. It is my third year in a row playing. I hope to contend...

Carl Peterson out as President/CEO/GM

To quote Cinderella, the 80's hair band, not fairy tale character, "Don't know what you got till it's gone". If you haven't heard, Carl Peterson, after a 20 year tenure at the Chiefs helm, has resigned from his positions with the team. Now after giving myself the evening to reflect, I wonder if we, as Kansas City Chiefs fans, will be singing the Cinderella ballad after we give it time to sink in? I know the popular opinion in this town is that this is long over due and I don't disagree. I think it's...

MU Falls in Title Game

Yuck! The Tigers had a great season but tonight wasn't their night. MU loses the Big 12 Championship game to the Oklahoma Sooners 38-17. It was a tough one to watch. OU dominated the second half and Missouri never really had a chance. This loss drops MU from the #1 ranking and will kill any chance Chase Daniel had at winning the Heisman Trophy. I feel like I've said this before, but I guess there is always next year! Technorati Tags: Sports MU Missouri Tigers Big 12 NCAA College Football...

KSU's Bill Walker Pees In a Towel

When you gotta go, you gotta go. Last night in the Kansas State vs Oregon game, Bill Walker was seen peeing in a towel or two right on the court in between plays. Here is a clip. It isn't the greatest, but I haven't found anything better. From what I hear, the towels just sat there by the bench and no one would touch them. I feel sorry for whoever had to clean that mess up. Couldn't he just find a bottle or something? If you find any better clips let me know! Technorati Tags: KSU Kansas State Wildcats...

MU Big 12 North Champs

It's official. The Missouri Tigers beat the Kansas Jayhawks 36-28 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO for the Big 12 North title this evening. They played in front of a packed house, split nearly down the middle between KU and MU fans. They obviously were not bothered by the Kansas fans, ESPN Gameday crew, and the national television broadcast. Missouri got on the board first, jumping out to a 14-0 halftime lead. Kansas missed 2 field goals in the first half and Todd Reesing threw his first interception...
