RDM Random Remarks

  • On your Mark…get set…

    Go. Go now. The pressure to fire KU football coach Mark Mangino has gone to another level.  In this struggling economy, you would think it would almost anti-American to see so many people publicly calling for a guy’s head.  Yet, I work with a couple of people who are flat out stealing [...]

  • Fat meat greasy

    Mark Mangino is in some deep trouble.  Everybody is piling on the football behemoth this week.  Forget the fact that he brought winning to the KU football program.  No, they’re getting ready to slam this dude for getting “physical” with players.  Yeah, call it the Bobby Knight Syndrome. In Mark’s defense, [...]

    Mark Mangino is in some deep feces right about now. The no-neck-having football coach has eaten his way to the top and fallen just as soon as he got there.  What was supposed to be a good year, following many (sike) in the line of great KU football teams (est 2008), [...]

  • They told, and they were outtie

    Gheys in the military.  I saw them.  Worked along side some of them.  Watched them win high level military awards and honors.  Deployed in support of the war with them.  Yet, some of them are getting the boot for being ghey.  The USAF was by far the most dismissive of lesbians in [...]

  • Former KS resident dies after accident in FL home

    Jane Bissey, the wife of an Orlando Magic (NBA) executive, passed away after suffering a fall at home.  Bissey fell off a ladder as she tried to get Halloween decorations.  She was only 42.  Such a tragic story, especially when you realize she left behind a spouse and two young children. Via [...]

  • Time to strike up the Fire Pinkel beat?

    If you were up last night and not watching anything more exciting than the rain out in Columbia, you witnessed an utter collapse by the 24th ranked team in the nation.  The Missouri Tigers laid down and allowed the Nebraska Cornhuskers not only to get back in the game, but [...]

  • Mizzou choking late

    Sorry to say, I was sleeping like a baby earlier this evening. Well, I woke up to catch some of my regular Thursday shows and I turned on the MU/Nebraska game. From the looks of it, it was a snoozer. Nine to zero? Thankfully, there has been some scoring. It’s now [...]

    Number of comments: 1

A recent ranking by The Sporting News lists KC as the 49th best sports city.  Do you think that’s a fair assessment?  I mean, it’s not [...]
