I'm all for #FuryWilder3, but nothing makes you look like a bigger clown than blaming your loss on a 40 pound costume YOU CHOSE TO WEAR. If Wilder comes down wearing anything more than a robe for the next fight all smart bets are on @TysonFury. https://t.co/25d7IRhO3Q
After #SuperBowlLIV I think we all just have to agree that after all the suffering and nonsense KC sports have put its fans through for a very long time, it’s been a fairly solid decade for the @Chiefs, @Royals, and @SportingKC. Let’s hope the 20’s keep that trend rolling.
Can't wait to see who they come up with. Exciting times!
The wait is up! Today is #UnionOmahaSigningDay. Stay tuned for updates. https://t.co/8JYcpjJS6c
