The next day I was one who said it was a rebuild and McD needed to go also.
Right, right and right!!!This coach absolutely squandered our best chance in decades , multiple seasons in a row.
Now , here we are getting ready to rinse and repeat.
Never fear, at the beginning of the new season , I’ll pour some more salt in the would and point out that we will never win it all with McD.
Peace out till then, Boys and Girls✌️
Time to switch teams so you do not waste your next window and remember to bring Windex.

A developmental QB late in the draft would not be the dumbest draft pick ever.
I am sure you could come up with dumber draft picks.

Part of the reason they were combined because Arrowhead was going to expand to area where baseball teal is and baseball team was going to get a new stadium.
Chiefs can now come up with NEW plan without anchor of KC Royals affecting their plan. Some were adamant about new downtown stadium due to other things it would affect like the library and lack of parking expecting walking/metro to make up parking spots lacking. There were also tailgating issues with downtown stadium.

I'm not sure that's how it works. Players pay income tax where they play. For instance, if the Bills play in California, they pay income tax in California. I'm not sure how it would affect players if they would need to pay both Kansas and Missouri income tax in that case, but *if* that stadium was moved to Kansas (seems extremely unlikely), they players would pay Kansas income tax for each game played there. If they lived in Missouri and had pay there too (I don't believe they would).. I'd suspect that most players would move to the Kansas side.
Usually what happens if you work out of state/area you pay the the income tax where business exists and then [ay difference between business area income tax and local income tax but it depends partly upon state-to-state agreements. In case of DC the District wants to desperately to tax out of DC workers but attempts to DC have been blocked in congress repeatedly. It also depends on how long you work out of state for I was warned if If I stayed in California too long I would have started paying CA income taxes.
In sports you usually ae paid per game so you pay wherever you earn the money rather than than weekly/biweekly/monthly as some are paid so you pay in location game is held whether it is in East Rutherford NJ, or Orchard Park, NY or Kansas City, Mo.

No 58%, Yes 42q%

Before vote polling company stated vote favored approval by 1% with a good portion undecided. Vote raised percentage of people participating in vote and those against approval were much better at organizing supporters as opposed to supporters who relied on star power.

He will probably be in sports management post career. He managed the soccer team team while in college as well as being on team.
I also believe he was not a scholarship student being at several colleges / universities.

QuoteJackson County voters have resoundingly voted against a sales tax extension to fund stadium projects for the Chiefs and Royals.
Question 1 on the Jackson County April 2 ballot would extend a stadium sales tax to go toward building a new stadium for the Kansas City Royals and renovating Arrowhead Stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Barring a remarkable change, that effort appears to have failed.

Wait, how the heck does a dude get into any league not having made a FG since HS? lol. I don't think I have made one since then either.
He was a kickoff specialist and kicked in practice but was never needed in games.

Mark Cuban Attacks Referee but that was April Fools Prank
George Plimpton actually left an obscure hint that the story was a hoax within the article itself (the non-obscure hint being that the story was absurd). The sub-heading of the article read: "He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga —and his future in baseball." The first letter of each of these words, taken together, spells "H-a-p-p-y A-p-r-i-l F-o-o-l-s D-a-y."
Reminds me of issue I had in college. Professor of computer science in college would issue very difficult projects requiring printouts of code and results. I had my printout disappear from computer center printout rack so I reprinted it. I got a 50 on project because someone else turned in same printouts and professor told us "I am not responsible for stolen printouts and will not determine who stole what. if I get multiple projects with same work I will split credit between submitters. No amount of arguments would sway him and he responded "You are already top student in class and even if you got a zero on project you still would be based on grading curve."
Next project I did it again and once again I got a 50 with same person getting a 50 as well. This time I took it up with professor and told him the code in the project does not work - half a dozen errors and even if corrected would not generate results you expected. In addition if you take first letter of each comment it says "Stolen-from-Glenn-Host.--Theft is rewarded" He looked at it and looked up the person who also got the half perfect grade and after next class he told student to report to his office after class. He said another student has proved not only did you steal the printout , it does not work deliberately. Explain. Student claimed he tested code and had no idea why it failed. Student was told he got a zero for both projects and he left. Professor asked if I was satisfied and I told him no. I handed him a printout of the actual project, printed on a remote dot matrix printer, and stated issue happens every year and some are punished for doing no wrong.
I took evidence to dean of academic fraud and the thief was kicked our of computer science degree program. He also lost his job in computer center when I proved to them that he stole a student's work while he worked there.

Campaign efforts on both sides of stadium tax vote continue days ahead of Jackson County election
KSHB 41 News obtains poll results showing tight race in stadium sales tax
QuoteThe Chiefs have been making a big push on this. Stars like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid participated in an ad urging a “yes” vote. Both teams have made it clear that, if the measure fails, they could move out of Kansas City.

Publicly-filed court documents show that former Cardinals executive Terry McDonough has won $3 million from the team in the arbitration process he initiated last year.
The ruling happened on Friday. The arbitration award was filed in federal court on Monday.
McDonough’s claims included unlawful retaliation under the Arizona Employment Protection Act, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and invasion of privacy.
For now, the news is — and should be — that the NFL’s in-house arbitration process has resulted in a very rare award for a former employee of an NFL team, and a potentially unprecedented award of punitive damages against an NFL team.
Of course, if the facts were enough to trigger that kind of an award from a process engineered to favor the NFL and its teams, the verdict in a truly independent court before a truly independent jury likely would have been much, much higher.
I am very surprised by this. NFL executives are paid a lot of money but they are handcuffed as well..

This circles back to missteps in PR strategy by the Bills management regarding the new stadium.
But as it stands, the current strategy has arguably been the least effective approach possible.
You are a genius in Marketing! Anyone notice @Einstein after Russ Brandon left Bills? Now we see where the ideas for UFL are coming from.

“It’s just a very basic rule of negotiation that you have to have accurate and complete information about what the other side is working with before a negotiation can be real, before it can be done in good faith,” Raghuveer said. “If you don’t have that information from the jump, it’s a bad faith negotiation.”
Very appropriate to this. They were not open about the PSLs and how seniority would be discarded with seat selection before they went for funding for they knew it could alter the decision and might have put restrictions by the agency renting to new stadium to them.

Agree to disagree… I’m sure there are all kinds of people in the Billionares Club, a good one however, I’ll believe it when I meet one. The idea of an altruistic billionaire sounds great in theory, imagine what the world would actually look like if this were indeed the case. Glad you couldn’t let the “bold pass”, what the world definitely needs is the part of the 99% white knighting on behalf of the <1%…
If they were good people, they wouldn’t be billionaires. They would’ve used the overwhelming majority of their liquidity/worth to do good, and make lasting change to leave this planet/society better than the one they were born into, and then still live a life of luxury that the overwhelming majority could never fathom on a pittance of a couple hundred million $.

https://givingpledge.org/about
“In August 2010, 40 of America’s wealthiest people made a commitment to give the majority of their wealth to address some of society’s most pressing problems. Created by Warren Buffett, Melinda French Gates, and Bill Gates, the Giving Pledge came to life following a series of conversations with philanthropists about how they could set a new standard of generosity among the ultra-wealthy. While originally focused on the United States, the Giving Pledge quickly saw interest from philanthropists around the world.”
But please feel free to continue to lump people together by a single trait and judge them (incorrectly, I might add). They have a word for that.

Someone had to be Mr Incognito in doctor school on a Caribbean island.
Ralph Wilson was a billionaire and funding most of some hospitals in Buffalo and donated his assets to Detroit and Buffalo charities when he died.

I completely disagree... we are not a monolith, all the same. Men of passion and empathy many times react and show great emotion. I have dated women who were as cold as ice and didn't show enough emotion or empathy for me.
It is entirely possible that Vontae Davis was experiencing issues with CTE and suffering in silence and he needed a TERRIBLE way out. I myself at 50 sometimes think about what I have to be prepared for in case of a gradual debilitating disease, for I do not intend to rot away in hospice of dementia.
Robin Williams suicide was a good example. He had Lewy body dementia and knew it would get worse and decided he did not want to go thru with it. Quality of life would suffer too much.

Suicide doesnt mean CTE. Plenty of people commit suicide without CTE.
Suicide for some is best solution when life backs you into corner with no way out but the government criminalizes it and part of it is financial (IRS has specific statures). Death penalty still exists for some crimes but it is a crime to decide to take your own life.
I have had some friends who have taken their own life and in most cases I understood. One was in car accident from a hit and run which put her in bed for rest of her life with tubes supplying all nutrition since much of her digestive system was ruined. Driver was never penalized. She played online gaming for a while but discovered half a life is sometimes is no life and committed suicide. She had a number of in-game friends who were sad but owner/chief moderator of game told it was a bull story where her sister who was given her login/password tried to selling her items to donate to a charity which helped her.
Suicide is not always sign of mental illness but mental clarity.
