Kansas City Chiefs suing their ‘official tequila’ provider for $4 million. Here’s why | KC Star via Yahoo

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.

Thanks Dee Ford for making that more difficult.

Tragically, shortly after this picture was taken, he fell into a wood chipper.
not politics – or as I say polishits!!
this post is about looking out for others (save your $$$ just in case)

Better hope the clowns in DC — bump up the us debt ceiling, by June 1st. Especially for the peeps that are retired & need that social security $$$$$…….potential delay in payments.
..
..
If the U.S. defaults, “it is unlikely that the federal government would be able to issue payments to millions of Americans, including our military families and seniors who rely on Social Security,”
..
..
Good part: U.S. has never defaulted on its debt
..
..
doesn’t matter who’s in office (democrat or republican). USA is on its 46th President — the us debt ceiling been raised MORE than 46th times.

personal well-being will always be more important than sports – that’s the purpose of that post.
I love USA, just not the greedy clowns in DC.
maybe there should have been doubt

The Detroit Lions Are A Team On The Rise For 2023

DeAndre Hopkins, Budda Baker absent on first day of Cardinals OTAs: Was this expected?
our game against Detroit to open the season looks like a “trap” game to me! Don’t sleep on Detroit
I say that for EVERY game of the season. Don’t ever sleep on any team.
no doubt, people around here will comment on this and skip over the football stuff
what is this “football” of which you speak?
methinks someone doth protest too much … Talking Heads, Ridiculous Opinions and “Pretend Scenarios” (omg we MUST have HOPKINS!) and even OTAs do not qualify as “football”
(my 3 cents)
Just as I predicted, a comment from you about non football stuff. I think that 10 football posts to every music video entitles me to the football-centric category. Just looking over all the comments this morning and after a great huddle with no less than 11 well put together “headlines” by NOVA. There was 27 comments with none being about football. 1 comment about football, which no one responded to. Then add to those comments, another member talking the debt ceiling. Today is typical for a morning huddle.
Chiefs blog? Give me a break
Just my 2 cents, asswipe
it is indeed a great MH … so, how many OTHERS have you jumped on today about “non football comments” … RIP? Hoosier? Pompano? Nova?
none of them??? oh, I get it …
you’re ENTITLED!
(whatever)
yes, you’re entitled to your own opinion … and pretty much everything on this blog is opinion (including what someone thinks about DeAndre Hopkins or the Chiefs roster or JJ Watt {wait, JJ Watt isn’t with the Chiefs!!!}
you’ve often said “if you don’t like it don’t read it and don’t comment” … you REALLY should take your own advice (at least on that)
as for your 12 yo “asswipe” comment … shove it (no personal attacks, remember? oh, I keep forgetting: you’re ENTITLED!)
On one hand, it’s a Chiefs blog and OTA’s and what-ifs are still related to football. We also agreed to leave politics (at least) out of the MH.
On the other hand, even the MH has notes on political and non-football events that happened on this date.
So… I say “you do you”.
thank you, cuz I can’t do anyone BUT me (whatever me is) … or, ummmmmmmmmm … you get the (rough) idea
goes live at 1;00pm
Nice! I wonder if the Chiefs might see him as also a RB.
