The voters of Jackson County did not merely reject funding stadiums for billionaires. They rejected a campaign that asked voters to trust what would come after the vote rather than what had come before it.

The story isn't that the Royals ballpark vote lost, it's that it was crushed. The 16-point gap is too big to be explained by poor messaging, the Chiefs' weird and pointless stadium remodel, or even Frank White. The vote lost because no one knew exactly what they were voting for.

Media literacy at an all-time low.

The Astros might be cooked.

cool for the bills to get to pick at 32 for once

“Tornado warning! Take shelter immediately!” Midwesterners:

they just punted for 20 yards of field position

thank god the ravens didn't get to start that drive at the 40

How the rest of the NFL is looking at the Bills for letting the Chiefs draft Xavier Worthy:

Mahomes on near-TD catch (overturned on review) by Ravens’ Likely: “Wear white cleats next time.”

the royals offense (derogatory)

Royals have real dead body energy now. Cadaverous vibes.

I believe a vulture was circling over Kauffman Stadium that inning.

guys nfl refs don't love the chiefs. they're just horrendous at their jobs. it's all a rorschach test.

Two horrendous calls against the Chiefs defense on this drive that you absolutely won’t hear about on any national show tomorrow.

The Chiefs are 3-0 with three weeks of bad quarterback play.
