Preaching to the choir

It's been a rough, rough couple of years for sports fans in Kansas City. We haven't won an NFL play-off game in a long, long time. (And this clearly won't be the year that streak ends.) Not counting the strike-shortened 1994 MLB season, we've only had one winning baseball season in about 20 years. Both the Chiefs and the Royals as organizations appear to be nearly unmitigated disasters. At this point, it's pretty hard to be optimistic that any "rebuilding" efforts will ever be successful.

Thank the sports gods for college basketball! At least when the Kansas Jayhawks have a "rebuilding" year, they still win their conference and make the Sweet Sixteen. Only two weeks until Late Night and the beginning of the season that reminds me it's actually possible to enjoy being a sports fan.
