Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star has what is, unfortunately, a valid question: Is this the worst day in Kansas City sports history? Just might be. Sam has a good column on that subject.
Also, make sure you're following those two SBNation.com links on the Big 10 and Pac 10 stuff. Should be another news-filled day. Besides, what are you going to do, work all day?

If today is when the Big 12 really ends, this is something bigger, something scarier, something more permanent. It’s quite possible that Kansas City’s college sports scene will never fully recover, will never again be as competitive or meaningful.

Naturally, some of the scribblers, yakkers and hairdos will reference the absence of veteran S Jarrad Page, the only player who has not been around during all the work that began in late March. But Page has remained silent, so there haven’t been any verbal, Twitter or YouTube bombs thrown into Chiefs off-season 2010. That’s not the case in a lot of other places around the league.
