That’s a nice story — seeing his shirt put to good use

And those Broncos sound awesome! Love that era. Although I could probably do without that shade of orange…ha.

@rockchalkjayhawk yeah that stuff is all regional. Facebook marketplace is pretty active here but 90% or more of the messages are from idiots/time wasters.

Average Facebook Marketplace msg: “Hi, I’d like to pay $2 for your 2026 Lamborghini, but you’ll need to deliver it to me.”

Good luck to everyone dealing with so many challenges. We are dealing with our own accumulated junk: We are getting ready to move and it has been chaotic trying to get the house ready to list on June 15th. Realtor's photographer coming next Saturday. Spent yesterday with her taking everything we love off the walls, evicting chairs and tables, and basically mutating the place into a vacuous HGTV showpiece. I understand it, but geez it is annoying!

Moving from our rainy coastal-SC cozy house to the deserts of the west, most likely Sun City in Las Vegas. The developers around here are putting up about 8,000 new homes within 5 miles or so, plus a new Buckees at the I-95 exit that already is backed up for half a mile every morning with workers going to Hilton Head. Gonna be a mess.... We would be a lot closer to the kids in Hawaii, and we have always dreamed of long trips through the west. Grand Canyon is my favorite spot on earth, and Her Loveliness has a lifelong desire to see the redwoods and other nat'l parks. In LV, maybe we will also get to see a yearly Chiefs game! And our sons will come for hockey.

Just have to avoid that seductive spinning wheel with all those numbers and we should be ok!

I have a buddy who lives down near you on John’s Island. Beautiful coastal community. That, to me, would be hard to leave!

I spent a drunken summer working on Hilton Head during college years at KU. Had a blast!

So if you move to Vegas, you’d be exchanging sweltering humidity for a dry heat

@rockchalkjayhawk I realized just how much crap I have after my brother passed away. Had to deal with all his stuff. A lot ended up at goodwill or the trash. There were some things that could be sold but that was a lot of work so the really cheap stuff got donated and much of the rest ended up at places that resell it. Obviously didn't get full value but the time and effort is worth more than the difference was to me. That did get me selling off some of my own stuff. Mainly giant book lots on eBay but I did pare back my DVDs and such a teensy bit.

Yea, not a great feeling having to deal with a loved one’s stuff, but it feels good in the end.

When I cleared out my mom’s home a few years back when she moved up toward us, wow, that was a ton of work. I mostly packed up the car, dropped stuff off at Good Will down the street, then rinse and repeat all day long.

I also sold a lot of things as well — using an App called Offer Up. Worked great down in LA, but when I tried to use it to sell off a lot of our things up here in the Bay Area … crickets! So I mostly donated everything.

So same deal, I didn’t get what I could have, but I have less stuff and a cleaner house!

@approxinfinity said in Roll Call:

@rockchalkjayhawk downsize downsize downsize! In the end i want the sum of my material belongings to be lighter than air, at least the ones no one else wants.

So funny you’d say that about downsizing! I’m in that mode now.

Sadly It all started after mom passed away. We started by donating a zillion boxes of her stuff to Goodwill. Then we decided to paint the inside of our house. You know how that turns into chaos with stuff everywhere in giant piles.

Time to downsize! We realized (or I did) that we had two massive bookshelves just collecting dust. GONE! The books and shelves. I read on a Kindle now anyway.

Anyway, a work in progress, but it’s a very good feeling to declutter, and to donate to those who need these things more than I do.

Ah, so sorry @approxinfinity awful news.
Yep, sounds eerily familiar. Best to you and your family. not easy.
My advice (if you haven't been thru this before): get everything in order that you can get in order.

@crimsonblu22 said in Chiefs offseason thread:

@mayjay if he wasn't on probation could he legally smoke weed? IDK.

Yea, weed, but it was part of his probation rules and regs I guess. No weed. I'm sure he was aware.

I mean he's an athlete, so not expecting scholarly behavior, but it pays to be smarter than the joint you're about to smoke.

Tough call on cutting him. He's the best receiver KC has.

Looks like the dumb ass of the year award goes to ... Rashee Rice.

Already on probation from the 400 mph car racing wreck, now he's broken the terms of his probation by smoking a little weed, and is headed to the pokey for 30 days.

And it seems like he had knee surgery. Not a promising start to the season!

@approxinfinity said in Roll Call:

@rockchalkjayhawk Im sorry about your mom. She raised a fine young man and I’m glad you are with us. We still have a World Cup ahead. Lets get this American fiasco started already haha. Speaking of which I havent looked at what Roger Bennett is doing this World Cup.

Thx @approxinfinity
And wow i haven't watched Men in Blazers in like forever and a day. I'll have to get back in the habit. Go USA!

Yea, like with many others, it’s been a rough year with loss and family tears.

Just lost my poor mom.

Not fully paying attention to the world outside my immediate focus, but still attempting to track roster construction.

Hoping by the time my misery clears, we’ll have a full team of players to discuss.

Cheers to all.

We’re getting to the point of starting lineup debate! But, I think we’re desperate for at least one more guy who can dribble and play point. Backup quality at minimum. Right now we basically have only two, who each are potential starters in Blyden and Kinney. And please don’t even start to argue that Stokes can bring the ball up the court under pressure.

Most years we at least four serviceable guys who can handle the ball.

Am I missing anybody?

Well, down to one, possibly two roster sports depending on the mysterious Thengvall.

I certainly hope DP’s story is true, and his cramping issues are behind him.

It’s just so hard to buy into any of this given the mystery and timing.

How a millionaire can have such a bad team behind him is a mystery.

Best of luck.

what's a Creighton Coover?

Anybody know if Will Thengvall is still on the roster? I’ve included him above, but other sites don’t mention him.

@BeddieKU23 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

KU still involved with Bashir.

Miller is not an option anymore.

Yes ku is still involved with bashir

well, he would qualify as a shooter we currently need. There's that. but, i don't recall much else of his game. Looks like a skinny dude.

So reading in between the lines here … sounds like we really have just two, maybe three legit starters so far?

Stokes, Dawes, Blyden?

No bueno

@BeddieKU23 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

Abdi Bashir has a zoom call setup with KU. Former purple cat, was injured a majority of Big-12 play.

Yikes

He's terrible. This can't be the last "impactful" addition. Fwiw, he doesn't move the needle at all on Torvik or Miya.

Is there anybody left who would move the needle? Or is this the cream on top of the steaming pile?

I hope we can fill out the roster with a few more experienced, quality players soon.

At the moment we don’t seem to have a top tier lineup.

Goodman comments on what kind of player Stokes is.
