As a boy I watched Amos Otis a lot playing the Yankees whom I liked while growing up outside NYC. He was a terrific part of those great late 70’s Royals teams.

@nwhawkfan glad you’re back.

@AsadZ said in Rodgers-to-Denver deal still alive ?: I would not mind Chiefs to go after him with a reasonable offer. he is a hell of a player

What’s struck me is the recent influx of former NAIA schools into the mid-majors. A lot of those one-bid NCAA conferences now have members that I remember watching years ago at the NAIA tournament in KC. NBA stars Willis Reed, Scottie Pippen, Lucious Jackson, Jack Sikma and others all got their first national exposure there. With NAIA membership decreasing at a rapid rate, good luck finding pro prospects at that tournament nowadays.

Not taking anything away from Bengals, Chiefs just choked. I think that coaching staff blew this game away, that play right before halftime was the turning point.

I was about to post this one when I saw yours. https://news.yahoo.com/kevin-garnett-credits-warriors-culture-180625961.html

Tough end to a great season, losing to Pitt in straight sets. Still, with a young team, there’s lots to look forward to next year. Congrats to the ladies and Coach Bechard !

@Kcmatt7 said in Not exactly a work of art, but...: @nwhawkfan Absolutely need to see the offense find some sort of mojo. Still unbelievable to me that we haven’t been able to do anything for 3 weeks. Have to wonder if some of it is bad luck (i.e. calling a deep shot play for cover 2 but getting a shell cover 4 look instead and vice versa). Have to wonder how much is Pat just not looking like himself. If maybe he is a little gun-shy from all of the picks. Patrick is really struggling/ forcing a lot of things and it’s costing. Some are saying Chiefs gave that huge pay increase to early. - -Lots of others I’ve talked to or heard on sports shows saying that these NFL teams are figuring him out

@nwhawkfan said in Dead money article: And that doesn’t even count what we’ll be paying Les Miles for God-knows-how-long. Look for us to move up on that list. I think Les only gets paid through the end of the year or whereabouts

He’s kind of an under the radar all time great. Since I don’t follow the NBA as closely I guess I didn’t realize he’d be in that upper echelon of players, of course 75 all time greats gets to be a big number. Funny too is that there’s already a place for all time greats called the Hall of Fame.

@mayjay said in Mr. Bean goes to Carolina game thread: @jayballer67 Why are you resurrecting this thread??? why not ? no where else to put what I had to say and was Coastal Carolina. - -Better yet though - -mainly cause I can lmao

Way to go Pooka! Two Father’s Day ago I found a kitten living under one of my sheds with a fish lure in his mouth. A trip to the vet and $300 later we now have a healthy house cat named Pooka. Everyone was like where on earth did you come up with that name?

Royals need help everywhere - hitting, pitching, bullpen. They really need to 2018 draftees get developed quick to contend - Singer, Lynch, Kowar and Bubic. Lynch and Bubic are looking much better in the 2nd MLB stint though, positive sign. I am hoping to see Witt, Pratto and Melendez get called up before the end of this season.
