@QuintonLucasKC Bar owner in Downtown KC here. That seems like a fair way to do it. Apply the same closing hours for all bars and I think you’ll get us all onboard. Happy to chat further.

I love betting on sports, reading about gambling (of all kinds) and betting, and think it should be legal. However; the adds/promos make it addicting. It’s predatory, like giving cigarettes to every sixth grader. This won’t end well. (I like Miami +7.5 in the natty btw)

Online sports gambling is destroying a generation of young men.

@BenSasse Thank you for your books sir!

I will never not find it silly that government officials decided the taxpayers should pay for professional sports teams’ stadiums, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. Impossible to get off that train now though

After reading through the 33-page term sheet for the Chiefs' new stadium in Kansas, I think it's one of the most lopsided stadium deals in NFL history.

Kansas is essentially giving the Chiefs $3 billion (stadium funding + mixed-use development funding + tax incentives), yet getting virtually nothing in return.

The Chiefs get to keep 100% of the revenue from all stadium activities, including ticket sales, concessions, sponsorships, naming rights deals, personal seat licenses, and more. That applies to NFL games and all other events (concerts, basketball games, etc.).

Kansas will own the stadium, with the Chiefs paying $7 million in rent annually. But that money doesn't go back to the state; it goes into an account the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operational expenses.

That means the Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security, parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season.

I know Kansas had to offer a great deal to get the Chiefs to leave Arrowhead, but this is worse than I expected.

Here's a full breakdown of everything I found in the term sheet: https://t.co/vtJ6S8DwOx

@PeterMallouk Thank you for introducing him to me via your X feed. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer one month after him and his writing helped me cope with her battle. She lost her battle last October but I’ve been checking in on and rooting for him. He was great, sorry for your loss!

@molzer It’s hard to prioritize time with your little, you just have to do it. I met mine when he was 8 & he graduated high school in May. I don’t regret one minute I spent with him! Now I have kids of my own but still keep in touch and see him. You will change that young man’s life.
