Hey CBS, Get That Clown Romo Off The Air
by Kevin Burton Look, I am not the only one who can’t stand Tony Romo on NFL broadcasts. I can only hope somebody more important than I gets the message. Until such time as Romo is removed, for me, CBS stands for “Clowns Broadcasting Sports.” At some point late in Kansas City’s …
Note To Cincy’s Tee Higgins, All Is Forgiven
by Kevin Burton My Kool & The Gang tape doesn’t play so well anymore. Found this out Sunday. I had the greatest hits record on CD, but I lent it to one of my neighbors when I lived in Ohio and never got it back. But I had to hear the song, Celebration, …

Turning My NFL Sunday Inside Out
by Kevin Burton I don’t know what that was last Sunday, but it was something, and it was personal. Was it a self-boycott, playing hooky, a tantrum ( I am good at those)? I guess it was the fantasy football version of the line “I’m just tired and bored with myself” from …

How Many Fantasy Teams Are Too Many?
by Kevin Burton If having one fantasy football team is great fun (which it is), wouldn’t having more than one team be even more fun? That is the question I asked last year, in my second year as a fantasy manager. I answered it in the affirmative. Yes indeed, great big ridiculous fun! …
Will Bengals Say Goodbye To Eli Apple?
by Kevin Burton There were storms in the KAKE-land viewing area Thursday night, so I made a choice right away. I said and I meant it, that the very FIRST time our local ABC affiliate broke away from the NFL draft for something as frivolous as a storm warning, I was out. I …
My Grudging Acceptance Of The iPhone
by Kevin Burton The cell phone, or more specifically, the cell phone call, turned 50 recently. It’s a story I almost ignored. Here is part of a CNN Business story on the anniversary: “On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper stood on a sidewalk on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan with a device the …
