The local State Theater near where I work (90 years old and haunted) every so often shows an older movie and has one of the people responsible for the movie attend and answer questions after the showing. There have been some big names in the past who have attend. They don’t show movies unless a character from the movie is in attendance for a Q&A. They usually have musical performances, stand up comedy or other type of live performances. I was listening to the radio this morning and they will be showing Monty Python and the Holy Grail with John Cleese in attendance on 9/18***. The DJ had John Cleese on a phone call to talk abut his upcoming visit. He asked Cleese what he doesn’t like about America. His response was what we call football here in the USA. He doesn’t understand why only one person on the field is allowed to use his foot to kick the ball and that is only done rarely in game. He finds it humorous that we send a guy out to kick a ball and then lock him up on the sidelines until he's needed again. He said we should call it handball because calling it football makes no sense.

The last time the Chiefs routed the Patriots, well, we all know what happened - CBSSports.com

"The 2014 New England Patriots started the 2014 season 2-2, including an embarrassing loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in primetime by the score of 41-14. After that game, the football world lost its collective mind with people asking if Tom Brady was washed up. After the game, Bill Belichick said four words that should have chilled Bengals fans to their core: "We're on to Cincinnati." When the Patriots move on, they move on, in that case to the tune of a 41-17 drubbing of the Bengals at Gillette Stadium the next week. The Patriots would then go 10-2 over the course of the rest of the reason, and then went on to win the Super Bowl."

My son, a football nut and Broncos fanatic, said much the same thing last night as we watched the drubbing. We weren't completely happy, because the Chiefs are in our division, and it looks like Kareem Hunt is a new, powerful weapon of theirs. Best performance ever for a running back's first day in the NFL. He sure was entertaining to watch.

...can't recall his name, but the young fella that fumbled on his first possession as a Chief....that was rough to watch because he had been like money with ball control in college...might've been Hunt....I was only watching with one jaundiced eye....
