Some will say Chamberlain, others will say Russell or Magic or Bird and the list goes on but IMO, there's only one man that deserves that title and that's Michael Jordan.
I feel exactly the same way. Whether you like him or not, the man absolutely changed the game. People say no one can be bigger than the game, but guess what.......MJ pulled it off......bigger than the game. People actually watched the game based on whether or not he was playing. Look at the ratings for his comebacks.
As far as his comments, who cares? I never knew him not to be arrogant and cocky. That's how I want to remember him. That's part of what I loved about him. It's his "I'm Michael Jordan and Your Not" attitude that makes him sort of special.

I'd love to post something about how I hope everything works out well for TG. Or that I understand wanting to leave this place for a contender. Or how lucky I feel just to have been able to watch, in person, the greatest Tight End of all time play the game.......but I'm just sick to my stomach at the thought of what I'll be watching next season.

I for one would be a fan of a salary cap in MLB. This all reminds me of something Steinbrenner said in and interview a few years back when they upped the revenue sharing and luxury taxes, which hit teams like the Yanks pretty hard. As you may or may not know, David Glass, owner of the Royals and ex Wal Mart executive, was leading the push for more revenue sharing. When the press asked Steinbrenner to comment, he said...."If Kmart goes broke, do they ask Wal Mart for money?" Of course he was defending his right to run a business within the rules of the MLB. He also pointed out that if any other owners wanted to pour that kind of money into their team, there are no rules against it. I'm not a Yanks fan by any means, but they go about business the way the way they want, pay their revenue sharing and taxes for it, and I agree that some other owners could let go of some money if they wanted to put a similar product on the field.

I wonder how they'll spend those picks. Lot's of holes to fill and they don't have a history of great drafts. I'll cross my fingers and sit with hope like an idiot every year, even though the last SB they went to was the year before I was born. Anybody remember Carl Peterson's 5 year plan he had back in '88 when Hunt hired him?

Earlier this season my daughter changed out of her Priest Holmes jersey at halftime........of the Raiders game.....and everyone knows how this season ended. I haven't spoken to her since. My hands are shaking as I type this. Oh, and none of my black friends beat thier kids.

I've sort of had some experience with this (jacked up kid of a very close family member). When I blasted the man for what he was allowing his kid to do and get away with while living in his house, I was told that I won't know until I have kids myself. Well......low and behold, I have kids and still feel the same way about it. The Reid boys are grown men and need to be shown the door at this point. There is the possibillity that Reid feels somewhat responsible and guilty for the way the boys have turned out. I wish the best for them all.

You're right Weedy, but honestly, after I peed my pants, I would then engage in some unchecked aggression without thought toward that coach. Seriously though, you do make a good point. But all this is after the fact with time to cool off. Plus the fact that none of this actually happened to any of our kids, so it's pretty easy to sit back and say exactly what we would do. I like to picture myself as the bad ass though, so please don't ruin that for me.

I do see your point, bd, and maybe my comment was a bit of a knee jerk reaction. But I've coached this age level, and seen some pretty nasty things, and going to the official would still be the first thing I would do. Understanding this was a scrimmage, then you go to the other kids coach and tell him to straighten it out. All the post said is that the looney coach's kid got blocked and knocked down. Buy him a tennis raquet and move on. Sorry, but I've about had enough of Youth Sports Coaches getting this kind of attention.

You're right, jay. And if I'm this kid's Dad, this story would become a whole lot more interesting. (or violent) This clown needs severe punishment.

No doubt if Gates continues his phenomenal play, he could catch Gonz. But then again, Gonz has only played 10 years, and is still quite healthy.

Hat's off to T-Gonz. One of the finest Human Beings to ever suit up for the Chiefs. It's been a pleasure watching him. He'll have a spot on the Ring of Fame at Arrowhead, and hopefully in Canton as well.

We'll see in the long run how Arod holds up, but he sure is on a tear now. The way the single season home run record falls every couple years lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see him break it. I wouldn't be dissapointed, either.

My 10 year old is starting stunting classes next month, and both of my daughters have been involved in cheer for the last 5 years. Good article ole. This really opens my eyes, but you can't stop them anymore than you could if it were a boy playing football. You just hope for the best.

Bullpenpro-I think you hit it on the head. A new award would be the only way to go for Buck, as his on field performance is not deserving of the Hall. But, this guy is one Class Act though. We here in KC think the world of him. He is truly an extrordinary ambasidor to the game.

All the Royals jokes aside, these two reporters were asking questions that weren't relevent to the matter at hand. They were just there to get under ownerships skin. They have a rep for that here in KC, and I don't think the public cares one bit if they report on either team here again.

He was interviewed on the radio today, and they asked him why he turned down the 3.5 mil. the Dodgers offered him last year. After much stuttering, he declined to answer, stating that it was very complicated. Hmmmmm.....How much will it take for the Royals to sign him? Boras vs. David Glass. Not good for KC fans. We've been down this road before.

Is this really the first one televised? This happens in bar rooms quite often. If it's during league play you get a pin. Sweet.

A true fan doesn't "give up" his loyalty. He must never have had it to begin with. There are plenty of bandwagons around for that clown to ride on. He'll find one. By the way, has anyone else had to endure watching my hapless Royals this year? It is a little gut wrenching.
posted by kcfan4life at 09:43 PM on May 04
The Royals sent Hernandez down because he couldn't go past the 5th inning, and wasn't trowing strikes. They claimed that his weight had a lot to do with this, but maybe he just sucks. On the other hand, when all you have to do all winter is stay in shape for that kind of money.......Just Do It!

Good for Tiger. It's nice to see that side of him. I didn't think he had it in him.

Jordan was bigger than the game. People tuned in just to watch Mike. You can compare records all day, but Jordan single handedly destroyed franchises.

The Pat's are a class act, and my hat's off to them. They couldn't have boo hoo'd about the officials, though. They gave that game away themselves. But I truly believe we've not seen the last of them. But let's finally put the Brady/Montana talk to rest. As good as he is, Tom is no Joe!

During Chiefs/Broncos games we used to pass around an Elway doll and beat the crap out of it. It even got stabbed and burned a time or 2. I think it finally bit the dust about the time he retired. Ironic, huh? They both decided they had enough at about the same time, although one walked away with a couple nice pieces of jewelry and a reserved spot in Canton, and the other wound up in the trash.

I'd take Faulk as a 3rd down back, still. He still gives the opposing defense a fit when in the game. Good triple threat guy. run, catch, block.
posted by kcfan4life at 10:25 AM on January 21
You said it, jeeb! Our record setting offense here in KC for the last 5 years has netted us zero playoff wins thanks to a pathetic defense. And change is needed in the Rams staff to shore that end up. Good luck Rams fans, the future looks a little brighter now.

The Pats are a very playoff tested team, and always seem to have the right attitude and gameplan to win. I would not underestimate them. While Denver and Indy both have excellent teams, they could be simply outcoached.

I'm not sure Mariucci would be a bad pickup for anyone. He was in a very bad situation. Not his fault.

Hey, Dick Vermiel just retired for about the 10th time. Maybe he......ah, never mind. Never mind is right. I don't wish that on anyone. He must have gotten a little old. Good man, sub par coach.

Chiefs' Larry Johnson Flips Out on Twitter
He said during training camp that he was determined to distance himself from the "old LJ," the irritable player who had become known more for his run-ins and mood swings than his considerable football talent.
Well, as with most power runners at this stage of his career, the talent is gone. I believe he would have been traded if anyone would have shown interest. And the "good boy" he promised to be sure didn't last long, but at least he's not beating women at night clubs anymore.
The guy's a Head Case, though......obviously. Ahhhhhh, where have you gone Tony G?????? This offense really is lacking in decent character these days.
