KC Confidential

Well, we’re into the second half of the NFL and the last third of College Football…

And it gets harder and harder to pick the winners as the season moves towards its conclusion. Sure, you know who the better teams are, but injuries and long winning streaks that wear on teams like Atlanta in the NFL – and Alabama in the NCAA – sometimes make the outcomes difficult.

Things could get rough on the Crimson Tide today with Texas A&M. I believe Alabama will win, but it could be a hard fought game for them, like last week with LSU.

K-State not only has to stay unbeaten for its hope to play in the national title game, it must win with style points. In other words blast its foe. Which might be uphill with an injured quarterback. Let’s hope not. Continue reading →

When I was in prison there were so many young people in there with me doing 3-20 years simply for having weed…

For growing it in their basement or selling the dreaded marijuana. That for many of them was the real crime, that they were in there at all. Few had any  money, most had public defenders, yet were labeled “Big Time Dealers.”

It’s how our legal system has worked for more than 60 years.

We have over 5 million people in prison today, more than China and Russia together. Continue reading →

Obama wins, simple as that – sorry guys…

All the numbers said it was Obama. This close call was all about the media wanting you to watch. It was never really close….end of story.

Las Vegas doesn’t  make this big of an error – 6 to 1 – no contest. They knew all along it was never close. Le’ts hope the prez does a great job with our really important issues. Continue reading →

Finally, after all the talk, an insane upgrade of Woodside Health & Tennis swimming pools, bars and fun has begun…

The cranes are tearing up the old and construction crews will put in the new, upwards of a $2 million poolside luxury upgrade. It will make what was already one of Kansas City’s landmark clubs and upscale hangs No. 1 not only here but in the Midwest.

“We will be much more selective of new members,” says owner Blair Tanner. “We are looking for that boutique hotel type crowd today. The former idea of as many guests allowed as wanted will be over.” Continue reading →

Even CNBC‘s Squawk Box – which leans heavy toward Mitt Romney – was somber this morning…

They’re a sharp group that now is starting to feel an Obama victory is at hand. They had long interviews with guests talking about how the market would react if the president was re-elected. And the people asking the questions were not in a good mood.

Translation, Obama wins. Continue reading →

Yes folks, the big voice has spoken…Las Vegas!

Vegas screams out that the winner Tuesday will be President Barack Obama. The loser, Mitt Romney.

In fact, it was never even close. Just a few months ago, they had Obama as a 9 to 1 favorite. Yes, that means a $9 bet on the prez, brought back just a buck…plus your money. If you had Romney, a buck brought you back nine…HUGE ODDS. Continue reading →

We’re at the midway point of the NFL season…

For Chiefs fans it seems like it’s been over for a long time. Yet many teams still feel they’re SUPER.

So who really is in the hunt for the big prize?

The AFC is not as strong as it once was. Teams like New England and Baltimore don’t look as powerful as they did just a year or two ago.

These teams are my picks for the playoffs in order of strength: Continue reading →
