You guys should see the tweets I don’t send. 😂

My drafts folder is straight 🔥🔥🔥

That said….the insider trading is tempting. 🤣

Today is the last day to file for office in MO. With recent Congressional retirements, I briefly considered running for office again.

However, I determined that winning that election would mean actually serving in this Congress. I’m too happy and at peace for that mess. 😎

RIP @SouthwestAir 1967-2026. This new system is an absolute joke. You’d think going from choose your own seat to ticketed seats, like literally every other airline, would be easy. You’d be wrong.

Has any player longingly watched more confetti than Stephon Diggs?

@onadraw @KrisKetzKMBC @Chiefs 1. It’s you’re.
2. Context matters.
3. Lamar never left KC, as we knew he wouldn’t.

Merry Christmas. Time to go spend time with family instead of fighting with rando keyboard smart guys. 🙄

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

Fun Fact: 20 yrs ago, @Chiefs wanted state $$ & threatened to move. We didn’t have the $$, called the bluff & they re-signed.

We knew:
1. Arrowhead traps sound by design and can’t be replicated now due to the ADA.
2. Lamar would NEVER leave.

Clark is no Lamar.

It's been a while, so here is the letter from '05 where we said no to state money for KC stadium renovations.

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@onadraw @KrisKetzKMBC @Chiefs The NFL Cowboys were in Dallas and Lamar was trying to grow the upstart AFL. He knew Dallas couldn’t support both at the same time.

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@ZouandOrder28 Agreed. It clearly doesn’t work without good faith actors. Unfortunately, most politicians aren’t good faith actors.

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

As the author of the “Border War Truce” legislation, I can say that this article nails it. The whole point was to keep KC taxpayers from wasting billions to move a business a few miles away with no real impact to the community.

Hobo Hunt played KS like a fiddle.

For a half-century, the Chiefs have transcended what separates us. On Monday, they drew the line themselves.

Because the money always wins. And so do those already flush with it.

@AskPerplexity what are the top 10 most iconic stadiums in all of American professional sports?

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

Guys, after sleeping on it I’ve come around. Nevermind that Arrowhead is a cathedral in American sports mentioned in the same breath as Lambeau, Wrigley and Fenway.

GEHA Field at Nebraska Furniture Mart Stadium, here I come!

@Slamp_says @Chiefs Sitting on my hands? Dude, I left office 8 yrs ago 🤡

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

As the @Chiefs leave MO, I have to say: Stan > Clark.

Stan, didn’t hide it, didn’t beg for public $ and built what he wanted, like a billionaire Boss.

Clark pitted 2 states against each other for months, made them jump through hoops & left with his hand out like a hobo.

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@RyanSublett1 @Chiefs Be the exception. 🤷‍♂️

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@RyanSublett1 @Chiefs Lambeau Field would like a word. But if somebody HAS to subsidize the Hunts, let it be Kansans 🤷‍♂️

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@TheSeigeDFS @Chiefs No. He should use his billionaire wealth to do billionaire things like the Rams & Broncos owners. Begging taxpayers to subsidize vanity projects is gross.

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@RyanSublett1 @Chiefs Right. As a fan, I’m only upset that Arrowhead, and that whole experience, is going away. Practically, it changes nothing in the fan/media market. But while Denver & LA build what they want without public funds, Clark is apparently too poor to act like a real billionaire.

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

@RyanSublett1 @Chiefs Not bitter. Just an observation and respect where respect is due. I had a front row seat to the Rams leaving and after watching how the Chiefs handled it, Stan was more honorable than Clark/Donovan 🤷‍♂️

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

What amazing baseball tonight! Was pulling for the underdogs, but can’t ask for better baseball than extras in game 7. 👀

[Ryan Silvey @RyanSilvey]

Never, ever, ever sleep on the @Chiefs
