Hell it is not the 4th yet?

It has been the 4th for the last 4 days in this small town where I live south of KC!:)

Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

That's nuts!

My friend made some sparkler bombs with electric tape holding them together but he used wood sparklers. They were awesome. Super loud! The only problem is that it is hard to find wooden sparklers.

That's why I live in the burbs.

Kids have been shooting since the first. Oh, and less crime.

No Kidding

“Our bomb and arson unit will be called to destroy them”? Why not also promise to waterboard perpetrators and send them to Gitmo?

If that’s the kind of thing the bomb and arson unit are called on to do in KC, then I think I know somewhere else Kansas City should be looking at slashing its budget.

Predictions for 2009

1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.
4. Larry Johnson has already played his last meaningful game for the Kansas City Chiefs. He's gone before the 2009 season starts.
5. Larry Johnson will gain 0 yards rushing for the 2009 Kansas City Chiefs.
