• What next, Clark Hunt in granny glasses and track suits?

  The 2-10 Chiefs are a bad team. But are the Chiefs a bad franchise?The question came to mind during the telecast of yesterday's Raiders game. As the Chiefs struggled to score an offensive touchdown, the stats for Baltimore's quarterback, Joe Flacco, appeared on the crawl. Flacco, a rookie from the University of Delaware, led the Ravens past Cincinnati, 34-3. The win pushed Baltimore's record to 8-4, not bad for a team with a starting QB who played in the Colonial Athletic Association a year ago.

  Photo courtesy of the Kansas City Convention & Visitors AssociationFirst, they say dating sucks in KC. They they say we're fat. Now, Pew says no one wants to live here. No shit. If you can't get a date, and everyone is a bunch of fat asses, then who's going to want to live here? OK, maybe 15 percent of people do. Still, beats living in Detroit, Cleveland or Cincinnati.

• Rooftop Vigilantes' tour truths are stranger than fiction.

  By RICHARD GINTOWT Wherever the Rooftop Vigilantes go, hilarity seems to follow. The Lawrence garage-pop outfit hit the road this month for a cross-country tour. We checked in with guitarist and singer Zach Campbell en route to Cleveland, and he relayed the following highlights from what's turned out to be a zany tour. Missoula, Montana - "There was this coked-out dude who invited us to stay at his house, and when we showed up there were five guys with machine guns listening to mariachi mus

• Kansas City struggling to be one of America's Favorite Cities

  Last month, we told you about Kansas City's quest to join Travel Leisure's list of America's Favorite Cities of 2009. The travel mag is only going to add five cities to the list, and back in April, KC looked like a lock, sitting in second place and trailing only our dreaded neighbors to the east in St. Louis. Things have changed. Kansas City's dropped to sixth place, still trailing the fifth place Gateway City. And Providence. And Cleveland. Freaking Cleveland? Sad. The polls close at midnight

• Kansas City somehow trails Cleveland, Houston, three other shitty cities for favorite

  Last month, I posted a piece about how Kansas City is one of the ten finalists for Travel Leisure's list of America's favorite cities. My mission was to get Kansas City voted into the top five, thus guaranteeing it a spot in the magazine. To be honest, I wasn't that worried about the voting. After all, with cities like Detroit on the list, KC looked to be a sure thing. Not anymore.

• Ambulance stolen from Research Medical Center ... again

  By my count, this is the second time a drunk guy has allegedly swiped an ambulance from Research Medical Center. This time, a guy reportedly facing DUI charges was waiting for a blood test when he decided to borrow an ambulance leading to an hour-long chase with police that ended with stop sticks popping the ambulance's tires and a crash into a light pole at 67th and Cleveland (I'm guessing it's the pole below).

  Krystal Myers​This is the worst thought out robbery that I have ever heard of. Imagine the pitch: OK, ladies, you're going to give these guys blowjobs to distract these two guys. Then we'll come up from behind and rob these guys -- or shoot them (while you're blowing them) and then rob them. Then we'll take the money and drugs and run.That's the story alleged in court records about a shooting early Wednesday morning at 2713 Cleveland. Police found two men shot several times in an alley.

  ​This Kansas City Chiefs' season is just one kick in the ding ding after another. The New York Giants laid the smack down on Sunday, and the Cowboys are coming to town this week. So we're wondering when the Chiefs will snap this four-game losing streak. (I'm looking at you, Cleveland; nothing like waiting until week 15 to break the skid.)Our friends over at the Riverfront Times gave us this idea. (Hey, did you hear who might buy the Rams? God save the NFL.) So we're asking you: When's the blee
