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)!

Celebrate Your Victories, Even The Small Ones
by Kevin Burton Mitch Holthus is the radio voice of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s really good at his job, in the overheated manner of the hometown play-by-play guy.

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: …
Kev’s Fantasy Football And Stupid Draft Tricks
by Kevin Burton I just broke the all-time record for fastest to drop a player off a fantasy football roster. If you know fantasy, you know this is not a happy occasion. Footballs have not even begun to fly yet. That comes tomorrow when the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs host Detroit. …

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 …
Quibbles And Bits: Chiefs An Evil Empire?
by Kevin Burton Today, some updates, passing asides and leftovers from previous posts. When I cook these up together, I call them quibbles and bits. Come and get it!: From my two posts about favorite duets: I can not overstate how much I love much of the work of Paul McCartney. …
