I wanted to see a sporting event in KC and Sporting KC came to mind but Sporting KC has been on a Losing streak with Sporting and thats not too sporting so for now going to see a sporting event in KC eliminates Sporting KC. Got that?

My record for Royals games is 1991, when I went to 48 in KC and one in Chicago. I have to pay for tickets now, so I don't go as often.

Hollis, I sure hope you aren't pretty.

my uncle took me to the horse races when I was 12. that is it for professional sports. I attended a Jr high football game 50 years ago. kind of boring.

Been to 3 Royals games this spring. They won all three. It was fun watching them kick Yankee butt last night on the tube. The times, they are a changin'.

We go to a couple of Royals game every season. My husband is a big Royals fan, in fact our son's 1st birthday party will have a Royals theme to it. I enjoy going to the games, especially when we got to sit in the crown seating, but I'm not big on watching them on t.v.

Several MLB games every summer. Our goal is to visit every MLB stadium - but we've only been to ten so far. Used to go to a Chiefs game every year when my dad could get good tickets, but that dried up quite a while back. No interest in ever seeing a NBA game.

This morning on a Topeka country and western radio station, the call in question was "Should Pole Dancing be allowed as an Olympic event"? Evidently they had a lot of people call in about that one. Now if Hollis was here, his comment to that one would probably get disappearded.

Nah, multi you know Mrs Roe would never let me have that many tattoos. Finally after forty years of not smoking she allowed me to get this one. I still haven't figured out why everyone who sees it burst out laughing. Lotsa people smoked that brand.

Prospector, it's not right to out Roe on the OTS!

Hollis, don't plead on the trumped up charges. You have the right to ride your bike around town wearing a thong.

I heard Hollis was caught dancing to "Common" on the lawn at Cedar Crest without a shirt on. Mrs. Brownback got a serious case of the Vapors. Hazmat was called in when security "would not touch him with a ten foot pole" because he hasn't had that bath yet.

After seeing that, Smillin' Sammy wants Menninger back across the street for a quicker response next time.

Suns vs Celtics in Phoenix so long ago, I've lost count.

Bob Harvey 2 years, 11 months ago

Chiefs for the last 20 years. If they strike it will like the Royals since 94. Not again.

Hollis? Where are you? And it seems somebody might have gotten lost in the tofu patch this morning. Tofu is French you know. It means "soft yucky crap".

"The Brew to Brew Run. You have to be a pro to run it drunk." Prospector

I always did the first leg from Boulevard Brewery to the old factory. Drank the rest of the day!

I used to go to the gym six days/week, had my own bench at home and rode my bike daily for one hour, mostly hill country out here. Once you start benching 315# you start getting noticed at the gym. By the time you get to 365# there gets to be too much man to man grab a$$ congratulations. That cr@p makes me uncomfortable. Especially when they follow you to the shower

Babboy -

Don't listen to Autie. Embrace your hate. It is quite humorous to the rest of us.

autie 2 years, 11 months ago

CW, then they must not got no internets in jail like the lieberry does cause he wood had been on it if he could.

Babboy you need to embrace the new karma dude....too much hate isn't good for you.

BABBOY 2 years, 11 months ago

I go to about 8 college football games a year. More if bowl games are of interest.

But, have not been to a Chiefs game in long time. Hate the NFL because they pass the ball way too much. The Chiefs like to run so maybe I will go this year.

I went to a Royals game two years ago went they started off good and might go this year if they keep it interesting ......

Oddyly, I did go to ladies US open way back.....

Hate basketball and never go. Hate hockey even worse......
