The Kansas City Chiefs have invaded their way into another Super Bowl, and by now the only thing that surprises me about this are the good folks who expect them to be booted out of the way to make room for a new AFC power. No, not yet. Oh, there have been the...
Hello, again. I am looking forward to Sunday. I’ll have some chili on the stove, cold beverages in the fridge, and the TV set will be ready to go when it’s time to snap the football. It’s AFC-NFC Championship Sunday, my favorite doubleheader on the annual sports...
