1k yards at 3rd target is pretty difficult, i read that having 3 1k receiving yards on a team has only happened 5 times

If there's ever been a QB/Coach combo that could spread it around enough to pull that off, I think we have it. However, we might spread it around too much for that to occur.

I hope Kelce/Rice/Brown are so effective that Mahomes just loads those three up.

I would imagine they load manage Kelce more this year and he doesn't get as many regular season targets.

99.9% that Reid is done after '25

Who you got as the replacement?

Right now Vrabel is my first choice. I'm curious why you're so sure he's done after 25?

Because a certain wife of a certain coach likes to chat people from Kansas City up on the beach when the coach and wife take their annual post season trip to So Cal.

Interesting

I can't imagine wanting vrabel. Why?

I liked how his teams played in Tennessee. Never had great personal and was in the mix. Who do you want?

Wait so who all has gone broke? Nike, the NFL, Disney. Who else?

Someone obviously told you fake news, because Nike, NFL, and Disney ALL had record revenue (sales) last year, which means that exactly the opposite of what you are saying is true. Whatever happened to those three companies was apparently really wonderful for them and the best thing ever.

Might be wrong thread but I was watching random fan reaction videos from the playoffs and the amount of people screaming "you're ruining football! no one is going to watch the super bowl" at T Swift is hilarious because it then was like the most watched ever lmao.

Does the Big 12 conference have enough leverage in basketball to throw their weight around in the CFP negotiations. Big 12 schools refusing to schedule SEC / Big 10 schools in basketball could have an impact.

never going to happen.

pretty sure I've said it before but it still boggles my mind that baseball is the first organized sport I played. It's boring, has confusing rules, and really difficult for little kids. Like the worst of everything for kids trying sports. I wonder how many kids got completely turned off of sports because they sucked at baseball when they were like 8 or 9 and that was their only option and they assumed they sucked at all sports. (granted that's changed but still)

baseball is the best to teach hand/eye coordination and unlike other sports, you can't start it later. I see what you're saying if its the ONLY sport you start playing, but I think it's a good one for littler kids because of the hand/eye stuff.

Eh I think you can totally start baseball later than age 5 and be fine if the kids are playing other sports. I could be wrong though. Also when I was a kid it was really the only available organized sport until I was in junior high. (No soccer where I was)

Perhaps.

Gay has a unique size/speed combo. With the way QBs run today I still think he's gonna get a good deal

I still wish it was in East Village, but even if this passes I think like everything that has ever happened to KC in the last decade plus I've been in it (thinking specifically street car and the airport) at first everyone hates it, and then once it's done everyone loves it, or can't believe we put up with the way it was before. KC is nothing but creatures of habit (and honestly more places are like that than not), and often just can't imagine it another way until it does happen.

this is not like the streetcar or the airport. the streetcar provides a service that did not exist and improves the downtown experience for people living, working, or visiting downtown. the new airport replaced an old one that was outdated, and improves the airport experience for people who live in kc or are visiting kc.

neither of those projects required the destruction of an already successful entity. if the royals get what they want yes of course "it will be fine" but we will have lost the crossroads as one of the few cool historic and walkable neighborhoods full of local businesses. it is inevitable that these will be lost to more surface lots / chains once the local businesses are priced out by the property owners looking to capitalize.

on top of that, as everyone knows this makes no fiscal sense. we are using public money to pay a billionaire to build a baseball stadium, losing the current revenue produced by the existing properties and businesses. the city will own the building (worthless for anything besides a professional baseball team), and the team will own the valuable real estate it sits on, but pay no property tax. this arrangement would be a lot more palatable if the stadium was going to exist in an undeveloped area (east village). the city would be getting something for that money. in other words, paying Sherman to build in EV is questionable. paying Sherman to build in the crossroads is indefensible.

this project feels a lot more like the 1950's construction of the highway ring around downtown than it does the streetcar or airport. there are only downsides, but we'll be able to say "downtown kansas city has a baseball stadium". i'm sure people that don't live or spend time downtown will love it.

"worthless for anything besides a professional baseball team"

mocat that part was a bit over the top

They went into a "soft lockdown" at my kids' school yesterday because someone had a medical situation in a bathroom so they wanted everyone out of the hallways while paramedics attended to the sick student. This just retraumatizes kids over and over (they just assumed someone was coming into the school to slaughter them). My kid's history teacher explained to the class how she has filing cabinets positioned so that they can rapidly barricade the door and towels ready to protect the students' hands if they leave the building thru broken windows. I have another kid whose kindergarten class was taught to arm themselves with scissors or hide on top of a toilet in the bathroom during an "intruder drill". Grownups (the legislators who refuse to do anything meaningful to stop gun violence) are failing our kids so badly. It is incredibly messed up.

In what school are they teaching kids to arm themselves with scissors?
