Riverside police cited Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe for speeding and possession of a controlled substance. Ironically, Bowe was cited for the two things he has trouble doing on the football field.
Bowe says he is taking this Mile HIGH thing seriously!
*******
The Chiefs have yet to comment, but they’re pretty sure Donnie Avery could do the same thing without getting caught. Continue reading

Just like that SoundFX, one of Kansas City’s two remaining high end audio video stores closed it doors recently. No fanfare, no fond farewells, just rumors of an ugly split between owners who reportedly were family members. Continue reading

About Chiefs star Dwayne Bowe‘s pot bust Sunday in Riverside…
On one hand, it’s no big deal, on the other, it’s ridiculously stupid, the truth lying somewhere in between. So says comedy club impresario and sports scribe Craig Glazer.
“What a moron,” Glazer says. “The bottom line is Bowe was selfish. He knew he had a big game coming up and he could have stayed home and smoked pot. You know, if you’re going to be an idiot and you want to party, get on a plane – he’s a rich guy, he can afford it – and go somewhere you can do all that and nobody cares. But here he is driving along late at night in a flashy car with three big guys in it . He was asking for it.”
The flip side of Bowe’s pot bust: Continue reading
Dedicated reader Chuck Lowe weighed in this morning with the following piece dedicated to Veteran’s Day…
“This Veteran’s Day we honor those who in peril on the sea, in harms way on land and guarding us from above, serve with distinction, bravery and dedication in the unceasing and necessary effort to protect our families and the families they left behind,” Lowe begins. “On far away beaches, mountains and deserts, under duress, under fire, under the weight of America’s hopes for a better world, we are there with them and they are constantly in our prayers.
“May a benevolent God, in wisdom and compassion, bring our sons and daughters home safe and sound in mind, body and spirit. God Bless America and God Bless You.”
It probably won’t surprise many of you that I can be a little cynical at times. Continue reading

My first story of the week was going to be about Saturday’s National Socialist Movement/Neo-Nazi protest at the Jackson County Courthouse…
It was about what you’d expect; 25 Nazi asshats on one side of the street and about 1000 locals on the other side of the street (with its fair share of asshats as well). Chief among them was one Deron Black who took his best shot at inciting a riot with his unintelligible chants, perched on a marble pedestal, high above the madding crowd.
As an added feature for the laaaaaadies, Black yanked off his white hoodie to expose his wife-beater and luscious biceps. Continue reading
“It was definitely not a pretty game for either team,” said Sporting
KC boss Peter Vermes after his squad played a knock down, drag out scoreless draw at the Houston Dynamo on Saturday. “It was an absolute battle. It’s good to get out with no goals scored against. We know what the return match will be. It’ll be the final because it’s the last game for both teams.”
Unfortunately, that last game of the eastern Conference finals won’t be for almost another two weeks, on November 23rd. And this game was a mere 3 days after Sporting went to overtime against New England to advance.
What the hell MLS? Continue reading
Was a time massive tropical storms that could kill as many as 10,000 people would have been but a blip on the local news radar…
No mas.
Kansas City may not enjoy the majesty of mountains or the allure of oceans, but when it comes to massive sea storms, it’s kinda nice being an inlander. That said, the combination of globalization, staff layoffs and outsourcing has driven the epic international tragedy in the Philippines to the doorstep of 18th and Grand and the Kansas City Star.

Seeing was believing…
And unless you’d witnessed the estrogens fueled wilding by the women of Kansas City who stormed Stanford’s Thursday night, you might not have believed it. Short of a full scale riot with multiple arrests, it was about as over-the-top as it gets. Never mind bullhorn toting Nazis, there ladies weren’t fooling around.
“It was insane,” says Stanford’s main man Craig Glazer. “Way beyond what I ever imagined. We sold out and we turned away women. At first it was just a mob scene outside the club, and I’m not used to that. Usually it’s just dates and married couples, but Thursday it was all women.”
From start to finish the “50 Shades of Men” show was a well-oiled machine.
“They have it down to a science,” Glazer says. “They come out before the show and sell autographed T-shirts and calendars, then they go in and we seated the room. And the girls were bouncing around like they were at a rock concert and they hadn’t even seen anything yet. We could barely seat the room because they weren’t paying attention, they were just screaming.”
So what was the crowd like? Continue reading
Well, the good news is the Chiefs are off this weekend…
That gives the team time to lick its wounds. The Chiefs have been the healthiest team in the NFL and many think, the luckiest. They haven’t played a single team with a winning record, thus far.
That changes next Sunday night when they face the Denver Broncos in Denver.
The 9 and 0 Chiefs are truly a Cinderella story to this point. The team scored zero touchdowns last week and their offense is below average at best. Their great defense is also fading with only 3 sacks in 3 games and numerous huge running and passing plays being given up against second and third tier quarterbacks. Hopefully, that will come to an end Sunday in Denver and they will improve.
A win – or even a close loss – will make them a legit Super Bowl challenger.
I’ll wait to see what Denver quarterback Peyton Manning’s health looks like after the Chargers game but at this point, Denver is a seven to eight point favorite, I would have to bet on the Broncos and give up the points. Hey, I want the Chiefs to win, I just think it’s going to be up hill. Go Chiefs! Continue reading
PETA’s Pious Panties in a Wad, Again?
Over Roaches? Well, not just roaches, but the RoboRoach product, a “backpack” kit from Backyard Brains. You place your order, it comes in the mail and then you perform a brief “surgery” on your cockroach. Attach the tiny backpack to the roach and you can then control its movement from your smartphone phone app until cockroach “adapts.” Simply return the cockroach to its cage for 20 minutes, he “forgets” and the stimulation and it all works again.
“We’re not breaking any laws,” said Greg Gage, the co-founder Backyard Brains. “These are roaches that people would easily kill in their apartments.”
PETA calls it a felony; practicing veterinary medicine without a license. I’m waiting for a “people” version to come out; I’m going to have me some fun.

One of the saddest figures in recent American history is Major General Edwin Walker…
A West Point grad with a brilliant war record in both World War II and Korea, he was the officer ultimately responsible for seeing that Little Rock Central High School was peacefully integrated in 1957. He had the task of protecting the young African-American students and their families from mob violence.
Despite his deep misgivings as a Southerner, he carried out President Eisenhower’s orders to the letter. Reassigned to Europe, he became a divisional commander but was relieved of his post for allegedly trying to indoctrinate his troops with right-wing propaganda. (He claimed to be trying to preemptively counter Communist brain-washing techniques he’d seen in Korea.) At least one of the charges, that he’d directed his troops which way to vote, turned out to be false when it turned out he only published directions on how to cast an absentee ballot, directions which are still in use in the military.

For those that don’t know (which is probably about all of you), my favorite band is
Richmond Fontaine. It’s a band, not a dude…
I know you’ve never heard of them.
They’re an alt-country (I guess) group from Portland who spend most of their time in Europe due to their critical success there that has surpassed the interest here in the US. They write songs about drunks, thieves, and other grubby aspects of life in the West.
I could write 10,000 words about their albums, their lyrics, why they rock a dog’s ass. But that’s not my purpose here. Continue reading
Last year, I didn’t do a “midyear progress report” on the Chiefs, because how do you even grade horseshit? It would have looked something like, “oh man, is this team bad. I mean, really, REALLY bad. F’s all around. The end.” It’s hard to see the light at the end of a tunnel littered with futility, tragedy and an environment of unparalleled negativity.
But what a difference a year makes, right?
Heading into the bye week, Kansas City is 9-0, leading the AFC West, and firmly in control of their own destiny. They’ll make the playoffs for the first time since they fluked an appearance in 2010.
And it all started with the March 12th acquisition of Alex Smith.

I had the chance today to spend some time with Tivoli Theater head dude and thirty year veteran of the film industry, Jerry Harrington…
And what a great conversation it was. This is a man who clearly loves what he does and he’s coming to find out how much others love and appreciate that too.
For those of you not familiar, Tivoli is Kansas City’s oldest indie film theater, screening a blend of community cinema, indies, classics, and foreign films as well as local festivals, film classes, performing arts broadcasts, and other special screenings.
The Tivoli began as a 104-seat movie house over 30 years ago. Continue reading
I hate to say it, but for me, it’s definitely more villain Lokis‘ film than beefcake Thor’s…
Heavy CGI effects laden THOR: THE DARK WORLD continues the Marvel adventures of the franchise. It’s enjoying a renewed interest by fans due to his Marvel(ous) appearance in last year’s THE AVENGERS blockbuster.
With a running time of just under two hours my biggest complaint lies with the film’s rather slow take off. Let me assure you though that its second act all but makes up for it with its final London showdown.
Here our mighty Avenger battles an intergalactic war to save the earth and all nine realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself—not to mention earthling hottie Jane Foster played by Natalie Portman.
Thor fighting to restore order across the cosmos, faces an enemy that even Odin and Asgard have major problems dealing with—or something like that……. Continue reading
The night was crisp and cold – scarf weather, perfect for soccer – as the teams took the field around 8:15. Sporting KC needed a 2 goal win Wednesday night at home against the New England Revolution to advance outright into the second round of the MLS Playoffs.
And that’s exactly what the boys in blue got, though it took 30 minutes of overtime and an unlikely strike from defender Seth Sinovic to knot things up in the last 10 minutes of regulation. Continue reading
It’s hard to write a correction when it’s someone else’s mistake…
That said, Mary Sanchez’s Monday column, “No Racial Agenda To ‘Slave’ Rollout” sure looks like a correction for a bogus letter that slipped through the Star’s editorial safety net late last week.
In it letter writer Denise Claiborne of Overland Park calls out local movie exhibitors AMC and Dickinson for racism for not screening Brad Pitt‘s movie “12 Years a Slave” in the company’s Johnson Country theaters .
“Olathe AMC 30 and AMC 20 Town Center informed me that depending on the reviews the movie gets, they will consider it,” Claiborne writes. “The Palazzo will not be showing it at all. I can’t believe in this day and age we are still acting like this but we are. This is not the first time.”
Claiborne goes on to allege that when “The Butler” was shown earlier this year, security was posted in the lobby of “one theater” where a lot of “elderly blacks” had come to watch the movie.
“How many all-white cast movies have these theaters shown with awful reviews or that went to video after a few months?” Claiborne asks. “They’d rather their prejudice make them miss out on huge profits that ’12 Years a Slave’ could bring. We are going to use social media to let everyone know Johnson County is showing its true colors.”
Hold it right there… Continue reading
