Kansas City is Awesome and other thoughts

1.  Kansas City is a great place.  You need to come here.  Awesome nightlife.  Better food.  Great people.  We are having a blast here.  I have enjoyed Stroud's Fried Chicken, Gates BBQ, and Arthur Bryant's BBQ.  All of it was outstanding.  The Power and Light district is great as well.  No smoking and a 2:45 last call.  Plus Boulevard Wheat, one of America's greatest beers, on tap everywhere.  

2.  The NFL CBA could or couldn't be reached today.  I have no clue as to which way it's going.  I am hoping for a miracle.  Twitter is blowing up with contentious back talk.  GET IT DONE NFL!!!

3.  Chuck Greenberg is leaving the Rangers.  I thought he was a great face for the team, but now Nolan Ryan takes over as CEO.  Greenberg had a difference of opinion on some of the business matters with some other partners in Rangers Baseball Express.  It's too bad, but the team is in good hands.

4.  I am starting to enjoy the NBA again.  It has been a long time, but I am becoming more intrigued.  I can't tell you why, I just am.  Don't judge me.

5.  I have no idea who I am going to pick to win the NCAA tournament.  I have not seen one team this season that knocks my socks off.  I am interested to see Notre Dame in the tourney.  They run their offense well, maybe better than anyone in the country.  Maybe a 1 seed as well.  

6.  Men, go see Hall Pass.  It's hilarious.  I loved it.  Jason Sudekis was awesome in it.

7.  A little girl at the Lady Bears game just won Chik-Fil-A for a year.  I am jealous.  I love that place.  I'd have to do a 12 step program to shake it.  It's that great.  I wish they would let media members participate.  I would have dominated that race.  DOMINATED.

8.  Mark Cuban is talking to Charlie Sheen about doing a show on HDNet.  If they strike while the iron is hot, people may actually start watching HDNet. Charlie is ratings gold.  Unfortunately he spends that gold on coke and prostitutes.  

9.  I think I have a problem.  My parents are watching after my dog this weekend and I called to check on him like he is a kid.  Seriously.  Is that weird?  I know he's fine, so why did I HAVE to know?  I need answers to this.  Do all of the rest of you dog owners do this?

10.  2 weeks from now Smoaky and I will be in Surprise, AZ for Rangers Spring Training.   Where do I need to go in the greater Phoenix area?  Let me know.  Your tips will be awarded with a big smile from yours truly.    

This blog has been fueled this week by KC BBQ, Fried Chicken, and Boulevard Wheat.

That is all.
