Why in the world do you think Bally’s would stop and negotiate with one team - in the #30 market - when they’re in the midst of these proceedings, losing money hand-over-fist, and their lawyers and contract people are trying to manage that whole mess?

They’re not negotiating anything new with any single team. They’re desperately trying to get out of/and or survive the contracts they DO have.

I’m sure the Royals would be willing to negotiate something like what you suggest with Bally’s. I would also be willing to negotiate Alexandra Daddario joining Mrs. Idaho and I in a throuple. Neither one of those things is based in reality.

I don't think they're going to go back to Frank White unless they absolutely have to.

Jackson County had their chance. They said no. It should surprise NO ONE that the Chiefs are exploring their options.

Yeah, but bullshit. Chiefs threw a one-time chance into the ring with a doomed Royals downtown stadium plan. They owe KC a second and better attempt.

This is strange. From what I can gather online, this guy isn't actually a Chiefs lawyer in the sense that he's actively employed by the Chiefs. The Chiefs' lawyer is a guy named Christopher Shea.



This guy is a KC real estate lawyer that seems to be speaking on behalf of the Chiefs' potential possibilities in this situation rather than for the Chiefs in an official capacity. Any backstory on how he is legally representing the Chiefs?

I'm not saying JACO isn't, but in the grand scheme of things JACO gets shit from Jeff City while JOCO and WYCO are the only two counties all of Kansas seems to have to drop their pants for. IOW, I've heard the KG Governor chime-in very politically correctly on the effort, but it's key that KS is working the effort with Topeka in mind. Meanwhile I've heard nothing from Jeff City about how to keep MO teams in MO, Why? Because we're not St. Louis.

Perhaps after Missouri loses the Rams, Chiefs, and Royals they'll rethink how much the state wants Pro teams. Either way, if the Royals and Chiefs are in WYCO and/or JOCO, I can still attend all the games I want to and the citizens of KS can begin their journey with these teams.

Here's hoping the Chiefs move to Douglas County I would never stop laughing
