We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise. [Reply]

Sure. But again, Pat can "spin" it in anything but he's at his pure best in good weather/indoor games when he has he and his receivers aren't limited by weather. [Reply]

The Dolphins game was obviously extreme (and I already mentioned arguably one that could have been moved), but the vast majority of games are not.
Games where the Chiefs could have used a dome....
That torrential downpour game in the 90s
The -30° wind chill game
....then... uh.... there was that other Dolphins game a decade or so ago that I went to and froze my ass off, but I was also pretty unprepared for it. I got rained on once during a MNF game, and surprise, I got wet.
I'm sure a few games exist, but the vast majority of the time being outdoors is highly enjoyable, and sometimes that does mean buying the right gear so you don't freeze your ass off... and if you can't figure out how to stay warm when it's ~20° while living in the midwest, then yeah stay home.

Imagine, having a penis so tiny that you need your football team to play "in the elements" to make you feel like a man. Pathetic.
It's another level of adversity. It's rising to the challenge. It's looking at the guy across from you and knowing you will beat him even if it's 110 degrees, or -15, or raining, or if your hamstring is tweaked, or if your cleats aren't holding, or if you are throwing up because of the flu. It's knowing you are going to dig deeper than that other guy.
I don't understand your "playing below their potential" comment, to me the weather just brings another level of determination.
There is always indoor soccer and arena league football for the folks that believe perfect weather equates to ultimate performance. [Reply]

Not only is this post just odd, it is factually incorrect at least in regards to the Chiefs.
In the Miami playoff game, which was the only one "losing your digits to frostbite" would apply to this past season, the Chiefs scored above their season average on offense and allowed a season low in points against (regular and post season). Explain to us how that is playing below their potential? [Reply]
Interesting report I just read on the cancer of concrete report by Populus for the Royals. Seems Shyster Sherman has removed the report from Royals website and backing away. Just not trustful this organization.
Not that we're there yet but if it happens what's wrong with the Royals moving out of JACO and giving JOCO or WYCO a few decades of being bullied/blackmailed by the Royals every few years? [Reply]

I never believed that bs from the beginning.

Concrete cancer is in remission. Was at stage 4 just a couple of months ago but there’s been a miracle turnaround [Reply]

Local news reported that Sherman has revived talks with NKC and Clay County. If I was them I'd tell him to go fuck himself. Don't be used like this. [Reply]

He wants a downtown stadium where the trust fund 20 somethings can walk to and pay for $20 beers all night. He is going to take these offers and shop them around for a better deal. [Reply]
