I think if those traditions are minimized, the team name could still remain in 20 years.
Yeah Brooke - they're getting rid of seats and building a drum platform so they can phase out the Chop. Seems legit.
So who's family gave her the 'intel' on this gem? [Reply]

I paid for their sports coverage last year, as I really try and support journalism. (I subscribe to the Denver Post, Colorado Sun, The Athletic, and BSN - a local Denver sports outlet.) But I really don't think I can justify supporting the Star moving forward. It's worthless without Terez. [Reply]

I have access to the Star for free- and refuse to read it. Any Chiefs news- is old news. [Reply]

She's so bad...
I could see her putting her foot in her mouth like that -- then gnawing it off as a late night snack. [Reply]
Why would you the wonder "bigger" there. Perhaps you use the word "social". But to suggest those issues are greater than the game itself -- then you have no business being a sports writer. [Reply]
