From Frescoe's Facebook

David Glass told the AP that he expects Dayton Moore to being long term contract discussions this year with Moose and Hosmer. What young guys do they HAVE to lock up quickest?

Royals Review RRCCA Super Mega Happy Fun Time part 4


Not gonna lie... this came out better... And yet worse than imagined. There is really only one maybe two of these songs you'd have to sit me down and force me to listen to.

Two of the songs can't be viewed in a playlist (I don't understand why). So I had to take some liberties to get them to all play

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE72B586C9BD12CEC

I spent quite a bit more effort into this one than the last one, but I also received twice as many submissions than I got last time. I received 22 emails (including the one I sent to myself) but the playlist is 23 songs long, so someone snuck a second video into the playlist, and I gave up trying to figure which one.

Royals Review RRCCA IV


So apparently croooooooooooooooooooow is desperate for another one of these. I took on the "massive" task of this effort before, but fortunately for the enjoyment of all the dedicated Royals Review readers I have plenty of time to burn...

Without further adieu the theme for this Royals Review Community Compilation album will be to submit one song that is a guilty pleasure or a song that you wouldn't typically like. This could conceivably blow the doors off the previous compilation albums or it could be a steaming pile of pig vomit.

The rules are simple send a youtube link to the email address in my profile and please put "RRCCA" in the subject line, and this time I will actually attempt to put this playlist in some sort of order instead of haphazardly throwing it together in the order they were submitted. The goal is to be able to throw this up in time for the Friday work day... Or until I get at least 12 or so entries

One last thing... Shouldn't this have been originally called the Royals Review Community Mix Tape... Of course I doubt the youngins even know what a mix tape is.

This guy just can't leave me alone... First ND, then Kansas City, and now he is the head coach at the only other university that I check the box scores to...

This should really help that atrocious Jayhawk defense.

Royals Review OT: Royals Review Community Compilation Album, Vol. 2



Okay...  So I missed out on the "Royals Review Community Compilation Album, Vol. 1"  And then I made the mistake of asking about it, and apparently the first rule of Royals Review Community Compilation Album club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT ROYALS REVIEW COMMUNITY COMPILATION CLUB!!!  And so because of this I was give the task of setting up the second one...  Well I still don't entirely know what it is, but I guess I will give it a try anyway...

 

So I guess I am suppose to just "assign" a theme or whatever for this compilation album thing, and I have actually spent hours deciding what I theme to go with, from favorite cover song, go to song when nothing else sound good, to just a song that puts you in a good mood...

 

Well I have been playing Forza Motorsports 4 for the last day and a half now, so I've decided to go with, favorite song to listen to whilst driving.

I guess send the youtube clip to my email address with the title "Royals Review Album whatever" @c.a.scholes at gmail dot com.

 

Now get off my back crooow.

Arrowhead Pride What kind of production do you expect from Jonathan Baldwin this year?


So Im trying to put together what the Chiefs fanbase thinks Jonathan Baldwin will do as a rookie WR this year.  This will be the first part to a much larger post I am working towards, where I try and predict what we can expect from our first round draft pick

Feel free to say in the comments what you think he will do, depending on the response I may average those numbers and include that with the follow up post.

Looks like a Legit 2012 All-Star logo to me. 

If so... I really like it too.

Royals Review Friday Open Thread


Oh happy day...  I've been itching to ask some of these questions for awhile, though I probably should have called dibs on a different weekend, one without a holiday theme. 

 

1.  What is your Biggest Pet Peeve

2.  Do you have any Hidden Talent

3.  What is a Useless Skill you would like to have

4.  What are your plans for 4th of July Weekend

 

Bonus Question:  Does anyone have any idea where my keys are?

Royals Review The two year Anniversary of the glorious $11 Taco Bell meme


It all started with billybeingbilly's glorious comment " hmm...im starving....  tonite is definitely a good night to play my over/under game on my taco bell order….the number is $11"

That comment can be found here.

This comment has become somewhat of a Tall Tale, not so different from those of Pecos Bill, Johnny Appleseed or Paul Bunyan, and to celebrate this meme on its cotton anniversary I have challenged myself with the task of taking down $11 worth of cuisine from my local Taco Bell.
