Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs’ history, we have a null set. Hopefully, something will come to our attention, but since it’s always the offseason today, I’m not expecting it
Elsewhere, in 2020, George Floyd was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and all hell breaks loose.
1977: Star Wars was released. I saw it at the State theater in Falls Church, Va after standing in line for 8 hours, and it remains the only one of the 147 Star Wars movies that I have seen.
1969: Midnight Cowboy was released. Good song.
1961: John F. Kennedy commits the US to putting a man on the moon. Because it was hard.
1935: Babe Ruth hit the 714th and last home run of his career
1895: The trial of acclaimed Irish writer Oscar Wilde ended with him being found guilty of “committing acts of gross indecency with certain male persons”
1878: Entertainer Bill (“Bojangles”) Robinson, best known for his dancing roles with Shirley Temple in films of the 1930s, was born in Richmond, Virginia.
And to close today, in 1787, the Constitutional Convention opened in Philadelphia, where 55 state delegates, initially charged with amending the Articles of Confederation, later drafted the Constitution of the United States.
And now for some probably unconstitutional news…

NFL Rumors: A New Wide Receiver Trade Target Emerges | LWOS
“Justyn Ross is a 6′-4″ item of intrigue, but Kansas City rests in a unique spot. Player development is king, but trading for a plug-and-play star – maybe Tampa’s Mike Evans or this column’s oft-mentioned DeAndre Hopkins – would keep the Mahomes Machine a step ahead of the Bengals and Bills.”

Mahomes trivia for #ChiefsKingdom :
-Who are the only 2 NFL teams with a winning record against Mahomes (Regular+Post)?
-Who are the 4 teams with a .500 record against Mahomes?
-Who are the two teams Mahomes has not beaten?
As for where this goes next, I'd say the price will dictate that. Under current circumstances, unlikely KC or Buffalo go get him. If his price drops (both teams offered incentive-heavy deals), then ... maybe.
(Both KC and Buffalo talked directly to Hopkins, and liked him.)
🏈 More on @DeAndreHopkins 🏈
• The Chiefs and Bills were the only teams to have substantive trade talks with Arizona.
• As was the case with Kansas City, contract was the issue for Buffalo.
• KC made progress, but @OBJ's deal ($15M base) more or less blew that progress up.
Is there something supposed to be there? If not, I agree completely!
I didn’t know Andy Kaufman was from Indiana
You can’t see the YouTube clip?

Uh oh, Someone is not gonna be happy… 😉
Why would anyone be unhappy with that picture?
For a week or so there was a saturation (shall we say) of Gracie Hunt posts, so I can understand his consternation due to that oversaturation. I was in a bit of a rush this morning and so didn’t have time to do as deep a dive as I normally do when looking for SBLVII-related Chiefs photos that will render correctly.
I hope that PAM can forgive said haste.
You’re forgiven my son!!! 😉
