And so, the World Cup’s stay in Kansas City has come to an end. And it ended the same way it began 25 days ago, with an Argentinian celebration.

The greatest sporting event in the world outside of the Olympics came to our city and we did more than just hold our own, we dominated. We didn’t just host the party — provide the venue, the refreshments, the music — we did a stage dive right into the middle of it. And our guests took note. Teams, fans, media, everyone was over the moon about Paris of the Plains.

This was a transformational moment in the history of this place we call home. So many people fall in love over one summer with someone they never met before. I feel like we’re going to look back at this as the summer when the world fell in love with Kansas City.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@tsnmike Yeah I can agree with that. We differ a bit on the level of criticism he deserves for not making that sacrifice but enjoyed the discussion. HNY!

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@tsnmike Coaches are going to change jobs. Esp as the PO expands I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect a PO coach to never take a better job. Something systemic needs to change to avoid this kind of drama. We’ve kept this goofy calendar to preserve bowl traditions? Seems an easy fix.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@tsnmike Fair point but also another reason to move to a place where he can expect more consistent success.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@tsnmike I’ve seen numerous coaches suggest calendar changes. The tournament should end in early January with signing day and portal opening after so coaches don’t feel obligated to choose between finishing their old job and starting their new one. No other sport forces this choice.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@tsnmike Timing sucks but that’s not his fault. I just don’t buy an argument that a guy can’t change jobs just bc his team made the tournament. System is forcing this decision to happen before the tournament begins. Dumb.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@tsnmike No dog in the fight. No fan of Lane. But he’s been unfairly dragged over this. He has built a perennial playoff contender. He’s never allowed to leave if they’re in? How about when PO is 16 or 24 teams? G5 coaches exempt? He did what he thought was best for him and his fam.

[Penn State Football @PennStateFball]

Excited for today’s progrum 🤝 @PatMcAfeeShow

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

Planes break. Unavoidable delays happen. But basic operational competency to avoid wasting at least an hour of your customers time isn’t too much to ask.

@SouthwestAir flight 1903 from MCI to MSY today has been a mess all afternoon. And now when finally loaded up ready to go we have to deplane because YOU FORGOT TO DO A SECURITY SWEEP?!? Who’s running this place? 🤡 Embarrassing.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Every single parent should read this story. It’s terrifying, incredibly important and handled with exceptional humanity by @DanWetzel.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

Awesome moment in a great concert. The band was top notch and Mother Nature was pretty cooperative.

Mumford and Sons performing the Ted Lasso theme song LIVE with the crew of Ted Lasso in #KC 🥹🤩😍 #tedlasso

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

I’ve been mixing several baseball road show series this spring out at The K. All have been enjoyable but the Detroit crew is particularly awesome. This is hilarious.

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

Come for Jason Benetti learning about Love Island, stay for Daniella Bruce working it into a home run call, and savor Andy Dirks fist-bumping himself.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The NSF’s proposed FY26 budget request includes a staggering 50% reduction in funding. It’s alarming that leaders can’t- or won’t -grasp the long-term damage this will do to our research, innovation, and the future of America’s scientific workforce.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@LCLoudmouth Kamala wouldn’t have either. Just saying.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@awfulannouncing It was Marcus Mariota with Mahomes and Cousins in the first season, not Jalen Hurts.

[Dick Vitale @DickieV]

Wow I am so thrilled to be part of a fantastic game like @AlabamaMBB vs @AuburnMBB - the emotion - intensity - competitiveness was UNBELIEVABLE! 2 weeks in a row Bama involved in a buzzer beater. Today it goes their way as their PTPER STAR wins game at buzzer in ot 93-91!

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@Jefster6579 @PatrickMahomes Yep, they scripted an uninteresting blowout that nobody wanted to watch in the 4th quarter. You should be a detective.

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

Audio nerd alert, but I really liked that dramatic alternate theme CBS used to roll out to the 4th quarter. Perfectly captured a tense moment!

[Nick McCabe @kcnickmccabe]

@OShowKCJared @jazayerli But his point is why would airlines schedule crews so tightly so that a 20 minute delay causes a cancellation? They’re either poor at planning or lying.
