I understand my own dilemmas and there is nothing a bigger issue of hypocrisy in my life than sports. I grew up loving sports, especially baseball. I always cheered on our local teams in professional sports and my guilty pleasure in college ball has been the Kansas Jayhawks basketball program. And then I get intoContinue reading “The abuse in sports… and I can’t stop watching”

Sportsball
Over the years I have become less and less engaged with major American sports. The industry is saturated and can simply consume time. I still like them. I am a KC Chiefs fan in professional football, but even last night’s amazing game (one in which I would have been heartbroken had the Chiefs lost, butContinue reading “Sportsball”
The silliness of sports
I watched the Super Bowl for only one reason on Sunday: My beloved Kansas City Chiefs were miraculously in it. Fifty year drought. No lie. This was a once in a lifetime event for me and I decided not to miss it.
Personal rights and egos
In a COLLEGE basketball game last night, Oklahoma State powerhouse Marcus Smart when after a fan. I thought it was a NBA story at first. Smart is a great player.

HERE It’s par for government, andContinue reading “Government and Crazy Funding Mechanisms”

The game against the Bears today and the game against the Buccaneers a few weeks back showed something in the flawed thinking of the offensive coordinator fairly early in the game. BasicallyContinue reading “We interrupt theological thoughts for some thoughts on … football”
Gladiators
I am a football fan, and it gets harder and harder. One reason it’s hard is I grew up in Kansas City and the Chiefs are a lousy team. Other than than, though, the violence of the game and the bloodthirst we’ve created as fans has finally reached a point for me where I amContinue reading “Gladiators”
How Sweet It Is! Kansas to the Final!
Final Four, Baby!
I Love the Kansas Jayhawks, but…
I LOVE the Kansas Jayhawks. It is a great program. I know a lot of people don’t like their fans. I hope I’m not one of THOSE fans, but I love the Kansas Jayhawks. However, I have a request of the selection committee (even though I know this will go unheeded): Please do NOT seed KUContinue reading “I Love the Kansas Jayhawks, but…”
