THE “REAL” FALL CLASSIC: COMING THIS SATURDAY AND FOR AT LEAST 3 MORE YEARS

By David Boyce

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Three more years!

The Fall Classic at Arrowhead will continue through the 2013 season.

Announcement of this wonderful news came Monday afternoon at a press conference at The New Arrowhead Stadium to promote the upcoming ninth Fall Classic at Arrowhead . Kickoff is 2 p.m. Saturday.

Both schools and the Chiefs agreed in principle to extend the series at Arrowhead, ending any worries that Saturday’s game would be the last at the NFL Stadium.

“It’s something we think will benefit the entire region and the schools,” said Mark Donovan, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for the Chiefs.

HAPPY VETERAN’S DAY!

The irrational partisans of the political left and the political right often forget that the only reason any of them have the luxury of sitting back and making pompous, self-righteous pronouncements is because of the men and women who actually go out and DO something. And they do it Continue reading →

TWO QUICK NFL OBSERVATIONS

**The Washington Redskins, apparently alarmed at the thought that there might still be one or two people in the world who take their franchise seriously, are trying out JAMARCUS RUSSELL at the quarterback position.

**The latest personification of why I prefer college football to NFL football: Randy Moss. Nothing more needs to be said, just … Randy Moss.

XENOGENOCIDE: NAVAJO MYTH PAGE UPDATED AGAIN

At last it’s the apocalyptic finale of the epic story of the Navajo war god Nayanazgeni battling the Anaye! I just had to title the chapter “Xenogenocide” Plus in the individual entry section I added a listing for the joint Navajo deity Tgaei.

HALLOWEEN SEASON DIVERSION: THE PERFECT HALLOWEEN OPERA

Yes, as if I wasn’t boring enough already I’m also into opera! Now, I know traditionally “the” Halloween Opera has always been Don Giovanni , but I’ve never bought into that notion since there’s really only one scene in the whole opera that qualifies as spooky and supernatural. At this time of year I prefer Offenbach’s Tales Of Hoffmann. Not only is it full of appropriately eerie and menacing elements, but it’s also Continue reading →
