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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
According to mlbtraderumors.com and Sports Radio 810 WHB, the Kansas City Royals have traded pitcher Billy Buckner for Alberto Callaspo from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
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 ......
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 ......
After watching Oregon lose to Arizona last night I started thinking about the big picture in college football. Assuming the rest of the top 5 take care of business this weekend, the rankings would be 1. LSU, 2. KU, 3. OU, 4. MU, 5. WVU. How weird is that? Three big 12 teams in the top 4 (assuming everything pans out). How weird is it to see KU and MU that high? I know the national scene is used to seeing Oklahoma that high already. Me, being a Missouri Tiger fan, I am just so excited about the coming ......
I love sports! If you read my earlier posts, I think that is a common theme. There are many reasons why, and I'll get in to them in a different post when I feel like writing a lot about will power, confidence, character and all that good stuff. But this one needs to be short and sweet because I am getting ready to head out the door. Running up the score: Good, Bad, or Indifferent? I guess this is my first survey type of blog post. I want some feedback on this one. I'd like to see what kind of thoughts ......
