Constantly Striving and Seeking New Challenges
Carmaletta has been an achiever through her life and career, taking on new and important challenges along the way. An educator to the core, her important work continues to this day with the fantastic archives.
A Mixed Bag For Our Times
A variety of sports topics that are in some cases vital, in some trivial, in many just the diversions we missed in sports. The Chiefs break camp as Patrick Mahomes speaks out strongly, the Royals knack for losing, Sporting toughs out a point, big drama in golf, and we lose some iconic figures.
Bidding for Sensibly Provocative
Sports operates far from a vacuum today, but a thoughtful conversation can be had about the issues enveloping our leagues. But there is still room for frivolity in looking at the Chiefs, the NFL, the Royals and MLB. Always fun!
Playing, Not Playing, and Playing Around
Weighty issues continue to resonate throughout the sports world, some inspiring positive change, some challenging the parameters of competition. Team name change is in the forefront, MLS is Back tournament provides important social commentary amidst its competition, which proved disappointing in the first outing for Sporting KC. College football dominoes continue to fall in their attempt to get back on the field as well.
Hurdles Popping Up Everywhere to Clear….and The Chiefs Leap One
Patrick Mahomes mid-day contract news results in a revised edition. It also includes return to play facing obstacles left and right with positive tests, players opting out, and some leagues looking at the viability of even trying. That while voices being raised is causing tangible change. Of course, we can still take time for goofy pleasures, and offbeat debates, too.
Efforting To Cut Through The Gloom
Troubling, although sometimes necessary, doses of bad news shroud
sports right now. Father’s Day provided a glorious reminder of some of the
good things that are otherwise hard to find.
Tuneful Conversation from the Vital to the Frivolous
Another informative, opinionated and enjoyable edition with Timothy Finn. Despite a restricted landscape, topics always abound, and Common, The Doors, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, and more are part of the mix.
Multiple Layers of Options, Foolishness, and Thoughtfulness
Every sports is handling it's challenges in different ways, navigating
paths for their return, or as they do. Getting it right always seems to elude
baseball, while others are having varying levels of success and
wisdom.
Voices Carry, Some Resonate, and Some Fall Flat
The weekly high-level sports by-play has plenty in its sights
this time around. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes speaking out,
baseball dropping the ball, KU doing the same, and some usual
fun detours in the mix.
Perspectives Constantly Adjust in the New Landscape
A foiled anniversary weekend seems more trivial in our current
climate, as real issues still resonate. But hopeful signs that some of the
more ordinary distractions of sport will also be part of our world view soon are
also around.
