Chiefs Haters, Have Some Wings, Get A Life
by Kevin Burton Here’s my super-cordial, Super Sunday invitation, going out to all you Chiefs hates out there. You are invited to take all that refs-and-Chiefs bellyaching, and put it in a place where the sun doesn’t shine, namely the Louisiana Super Dome, venue for tonight’s Super Bowl LIX (59)! You thought …

Crazy Great News, Then Bad News In Fantasy
by Kevin Burton Something truly bizarre happened to my fantasy football teams last week. They won, all six of them. My K&J Tornados team won by 35.08 points. All the others won by more than that! Now maybe that’s not such a great big deal. After all, one point – or in fantasy …

My Shifting Sports Team Allegiances
by Kevin Burton Time and location, location, location, can change even the most fervent loyalties when it comes to sports fan allegiances.

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, …

Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, Jumping The Shark
by Kevin Burton America, do we hate the Chiefs yet? On second thought, let me extend the question to the rest of the world, since the NFL plays games in London, Mexico City and Frankfurt, Germany. World, have we had enough? It seems as usual I am behind the times, late to …

A Moment With Mom And Sweet Victory
by Kevin Burton My mother doesn’t know anything about fantasy football, but she knows a lot about perseverance. Both truths were evident Monday night. I was watching Monday Night Football when she called, and she was still on the line with me when the game ended. To set the scene: …
