Hall to the Raiders......

darenstevens — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:51:22 -0000

I think Hall is worth a 2nd round pick. If you look at our 2nd round picks we've made, I'd rather take my chances with a sure thing even with his baggage.

The Chiefs are purging people left and right and yet we're not bringing any quality back.

I would really like for the sports writers in KC to start to ask the tough questions and take the Chiefs leadership to task on a shrinking payroll and increased ticket prices.

Does anyone remember when the Hunt's said they were ponying up more money for the renovations? Amazingly enough, they failed to mention at the time they were jacking up the club level prices to offset it.

The reporters responsible for asking these questions are too concerned with getting their passes revoked from the press food table. Gretz, Rand, Whitlock, Flannagan (who just as well be Hearne Christopher these days) are no better than teenage girls at a Justin Timberlake concert.

RR and Bay Area Royals Fans.....

I'm planning on hitting at least one but probablty 2 of the Royals game while they're in Oakland (Apr 18-20th).

My first priority is the Saturday day game. As it stands, my girlfriend, my friend and his wife are planning on going. If anyone else is interested, let me know.

RR, I know you all are making a local event at the K but I think it could also be cool (for lack of a better word) if we could try some informal get togethers as the Royals go on the road.....just a thought.

Great Bannister article.....

Not sure if this has been posted or not but a pretty good read regarding Bannister.

I always appreciate an article on a Royals player for better or worse during Spring Training......that said, anyone have any thoughts on what Passan wrote?

Getting to Arrowhead

Ideas appreciated!

I'm coming back to KC to see my first game at Arrowhead in about 9 years. I actually just got to see them here in the Bay Areas last weekend. Anyway, I am staying in South Kansas City with my girlfriend and we already have tix to the Packer game. The one thing I am still working on is how to get there.

Does anyone know of any bars that send buses to the game....I'm going to check on city busses as well but a bar bus where I could just pay for the ride would be great, especially if there is beer on that bus.

Thank you in advance for your time.
