The Kansas City Chiefs are trying to solve right tackle after moving on from Jawaan Taylor this offseason. The name suddenly running with the first-team offense in June isn't a draft pick or a free-agent splash; it's an UDFA who had to earn his contract on a tryout. 📝
The absolute worst part of The Last Jedi is that the childish backlash to a genuinely good film led directly to The Rise of Skywalker, which is an absolute abomination of a movie.

That’s why they’re stuck.
Kyle Isbel may have to move up to the 4 spot in the lineup if he keeps this up. Another trip to #DongTown, made possible by the #Royals shortening the porch a bit in right field.
#Royals win their home opener, 3-1 over the Twins. Bubic had a great game, and runs came courtesy of trips to #DongTown from Collins and Isbel. The #KCMagicNumber is now 160! #HEYHEYHEYHEY
