I DROVE UP TO THE CITY TO GET A LOAD (6 BAGS) OF CAT FOOD ON SPECIAL AT SAM'S CLUB. THIS WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THEIR LATEST INSTANT SAVINGS, OFFERING $3 OFF PER BAG. OF COURSE THERE WAS NONE TO BE FOUND IN THE STORE. ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING TRIP TO THE CITY. AS I WAS LEAVING, I SAW ALONG LINE OF CARS WAITING TO GET TO THE GAS PUMPS. THEIR GAS IS ABOUT 25-30 CENTS CHEAPER THAN IN MY LOCAL AREA. WHEN I DROVE OVER THAT WAY, THE GAS PUMPS HAD LOTS OF OPENINGS AT THE PUMPS. SO I WENT BACK AROUND TO THE LINE OF TRAFFIC TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THERE WAS A POLICEMAN IN THE ROAD DIRECTING TRAFFIC OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO GO TO WHATABURGER. APPARENTLY THIS IS PATRICK MAHOMES'S FAVORITE BURGER PLACE AND JUST OPENED UP IN KANSAS CITY. TALK ABOUT MERCHANDISING CLOUT, HE HAS IT!

I BELIEVE BRET VETCH IS THE BEST GM IN PRO FOOTBALL. HE HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB BRINGING IN PLAYERS FOR THE CHIEFS. HIS LATEST DEAL WITH TYREEK HILL WAS PAINFUL BUT MASTERFUL AT THE SAME TIME. HILL, LIKE MAHOMES IS IN A CATEGORY BY HIMSELF. NO RECIEVER IS AS MUCH OF A GAME CHANGER AS HIM. KC COULD HAVE HAD HIM FOR ANOTHER YEAR UNDER HIS CONTRACT, BUT NEXT YEAR WOULD LOSE HIM TO FREE AGENCY WITH LITTLE COMPENSATION. SO THEY GOT 5 DRAFT PICKS FOR HIS LAST YEAR OF HIS CONTRACT. WITH VETCH'S TALENT FOR FINDING PLAYERS, THIS IS HUGE.

UNTIL NEXT TIME
