As I'm sure you've heard, today is the first Sunday without NFL football since September. Normally, we'd be in the middle of our third or fourth game thread of the day but alas, no football is being played today.
Use this open thread to talk about whatever you want. How are you filling the time on Sundays now?

I look forward to the draft season
Life of a Chiefs fan
And I actually have a good feeling about the Royals this year. Need more pitching, but our lineup should be potent if our prospects continue to develop
RememberDelaney37 - February 12, 2012 via mobile
I don't know how but the Royals manage to draw me back in every year.
Thinking man we could really be good this year if we just pull a few minor things together. I’m trying to avoid that this season but I am optimistic for this team. If Hoch plays like he did after the all star break, Duffy progresses, Paulino plays like he did last year and Sanchez has a good season this team could easily be in the playoffs.
Jonathan Hake - February 12, 2012
ups will be happy soon he will be getting his chiefs peyton manning jersey soon
and his boy decastro will be the chiefs first pick in the draft
niageriannit1 - February 12, 2012
Probably replacing a hot water heater.
Ugh.
TRSChief - February 12, 2012
its not so bad, I made sure to put in these 1' flexible pipes so I wouldnt ever have to do anything but twist some wrenches.
being flexible its a breeze to put in also, twist some wrenches and bam your done. I recommend doing this to make it easier next time and probably this time.
kc-twitch - February 12, 2012
Not a bad idea at all.
First time really messing with one. Been that, and painting a bathroom for this month’s project. Cuts into my AP time though, dammit.
TRSChief - February 12, 2012
word of advice, dont start a project until you finish a project.
usually my girl starts projects for me and I have to finish them. just got done painting the whole house two months ago I know painting sucks. painting a bathroom sucks too getting behind the toilet I just took the whole toilet out and painted behind it, then put in a new seal and put it back on cost like maybe 10 dollars for the seal but so much easier to do, only bad thing is once my girl seen me do that next thing you know im putting a new seat on the toilet just cause, then a new shower curtain to match, then new rails for towels cause she just wanted to with towels to match the color of the bathroom, and all the other small but somehow expensive other things to match.
more i type the more im beggining to think being single would be cheap and a easy way to be lazy.
kc-twitch - February 12, 2012
Hopefully i'll be logging a lot of overtime

Mom is visiting San Diego
Took her to the beach. About to eat some teriyaki steak sandwiches at a local pub. A must eat if you ever visit.
Cass street bar and grill.
BJ Kissel - February 12, 2012 via mobile
The beach is for bums...
Hard to beat the beautiful weather here in the Midwest right now. I bet you’re jealous.
joplin chiefs fan - February 12, 2012

I lost the beautiful part somewhere? that was last week.

Mas Cervezas - February 12, 2012 via mobile
Fred's and coyotes are both pretty good in old town
Teo Leo’s is really good too. There’s one about 3 blocks from us. Prob my top choice.
BJ Kissel - February 12, 2012 via mobile
freds is where we went 3 years ago when
We did the trip from vegas to ca. Sat on patio and was great time. My ’ol lady was fucked half way through her margarita(shes smaller,but also not a big drinker). I rec. That spot for sure. Ill try coyotes next time .
TheScreenName - February 12, 2012 via mobile
Naw man
Old Town Mexican Cafe. Just down the street from Fred’s. Trumps them all! I eat there at least once a week.
Buck'O - February 12, 2012

Then i heard how long the line was so went to freds.

No Football until next fall
That Really Really sucks
ArrowheadHunter - February 12, 2012
But we've still got College basketball and the draft.
April is when I really start to go into withdrawal.
MtHammer - February 12, 2012
True I enjoy the bball but today is just sloooowwwwwww
ArrowheadHunter - February 12, 2012
Draft!
It is kind of funny how NFL has basically become a year round sport with the combine, draft, FA etc. Still dominates sports talk shows
BigRoz - February 12, 2012
All my porn just flew out the window!
Tarkus - February 12, 2012
Went into work and did an hours worth of paperwork,
Watching St johns and Georgetown now. Gonna start in on my mini keg of Newcastle in a bit and looking forward to the first new episode in 2 months of The Walking Dead tonight.

I've already lost 17 pounds since January 1st (Week 17)
Depression is in full swing, especially now that P & C reported today for the Mariners, so there’s more reason to be depressed. Haven’t shaved in a few weeks, despite my supervisor telling me to do so. Rewatched the Ravens & Chiefs game from last postseason.
I need help.
CharlieConway - February 12, 2012
hey you did the first step already.
admitting you need help. lol.
kc-twitch - February 12, 2012
I'm down 16lbs
Have a bet going with my girlfriend that I can lose 30 before she can lose 20. She didn’t realize it’s easier to lose weight when you have more to lose. She barely has 20lbs to lose and I could stand to easily lose 50
RamX21 - February 12, 2012
Yeah, percentage is always a fairer bet.
Tarkus - February 12, 2012
That's where I'm at - I could lose a lot.
I’m oddly shaped, God had some fun with me. I’m 5’6" on a great day, but as of now, weigh 228. I graduated HS in 2009 and when I did, I was around 190. I usually played sports at around 180-185, so when baseball was over and I knew I was never playing sports again, I made it very well known that I would start eating whatever I wanted, whenever, thus leading me to gain over 50 pounds in 2.5 years.
Football season, like most guys, always traps me into putting on weight. Pizza/burgers during the game, food at the stadium, lots of soda, etc.
CharlieConway - February 12, 2012
We graduated in the same year.
Except I was 3 inches taller and 40 pounds lighter and have managed to only gain 30 pounds before realizing I was becoming fat. Hopefully when I graduate I’ll have more time to get back in shape.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 12, 2012
My whole life I could put on weight extremely easily and lose it just as easy
I’m 5’7’’ and for most of my like I was in the 155-165 range. I could get up close to 2 and drop back down. I’m usually pretty active but playing semi-pro football the last few years really broke me down physically. I’m in good health now, well I have been for some time but just to damn lazy to get back in the swing of things haha, so now its time to get back to a normal weight
RamX21 - February 12, 2012
Is that you, Todd?
I thought you shaved for your new gig.
Tarkus - February 12, 2012
Its getting pretty crazy in Greece
They’re throwing Fire Bombs at their lawmakers in session…
ChiefWarPaint - February 12, 2012
that whole entire area is crazy right now, we are truly blessed to be in the U.S. when you think about it.
kc-twitch - February 12, 2012
Its only a matter of time
The system can’t be propped up forever, we’re very similar to Greece and if the EU due to the domino effect caused by their stupid decision to unionize were to fall, we’d go down with them.
ChiefWarPaint - February 12, 2012

It's cool.
McDonald’s is no longer using pink slime in their burgers.

Tarkus - February 12, 2012
Well, that was interesting...
We’ve been joking about McNasty’s tasteless burgers being low-grade dog food forever. Who knew that all this time, we were pretty much right.
Scott B. - February 12, 2012
HAHAHAHAHA!
You’re such an arsehole! Hahahahaha!
Buck'O - February 12, 2012
But damn, that pink slime sure tastes good!
ExRoyalsFan - February 12, 2012
Fun Fact
The Only burger that they cook fresh to order is the Angus 1/3 Pounder, why? Because if its left under a heat lamp it will turn green.
ChiefWarPaint - February 12, 2012
actually false
i work at mcdonalds and angus burgers are kept under a heat lamp for up to an hour before being thrown away and the other meats have timers on them from 15 minutes to an hour. so basically when you go to mcdonalds the meat for your sandwich could be made right that moment or up to an hour ago….
kcchiefs19 - February 12, 2012
So they say
And don’t forget they still use that shit in the chicken. Don’t know how people eat there.
KCinIL - February 12, 2012
Its not even cheap enough to make sense anymore
ChiefWarPaint - February 12, 2012
pink slime?
That was the good part. It was the hiddin food the employees gave as “extra” that they need to get rid off

II'm sitting here wondering why we signed a special teams player instead of,you know,
Carr or Bowe.Can’t we sign our FA’s?
chiefs63 - February 12, 2012
Because special teams players are a lot easier to sign.
Signings aren’t necessarily done in order of importance.
Tarkus - February 12, 2012
yes we can
quite a few Re-signings league wide last week and cuts to
Steve_Chiefs - February 12, 2012
Speaking of players that could find their way to & from the Practice Squad Blindfolded...
I’m bummed WR Jeremy Horne & TE Cody Slate didn’t make more of their opportunties…( Well OK…The Whole Offense for that matter …But specifically these young fast guys w/ hands …Ya think deficiencies @ QB played a role here ?…Damn …Where is that Sarcasm font ?…)…
KCChef - February 12, 2012
I'm working on a presentation for my lab class, and the stuff is too simple.
This is a lab to prepare Junior and Senior Physics majors for performing experiments as grad students and scientists, and so they have us work on an experiment for a couple weeks and then present the results.
The problem is that my group has an experiment that was designed for high school students, so we’re struggling to spice it up.

took my 6 year old riding today
She ate shit but kept trucking, so i was happy. Shes been riding since 3 but she ate shit bad this time. I didnt expect her to get on right after but she did..
as far as that, my lady burned my breakfast(not a good cook), failed to blow me before kids got up (her promise,not mine), and my new welder took a shit.
Karma?

Nothing better than trying to entertain 3 kids under 6 years old. I need a beer….
GetRight - February 12, 2012
?
I know about everyone’s love affair with DeCastro but what does everyone think about Peter Konz C Wisconsin? Big physical center who can handle NT’s by himself. Seems a little more valuable than a G & yeah yeah I know he’s really good. Between the two thought I think Konz may bring more value. Hudson can be an athletic pulling G
HIT34MAN - February 12, 2012
Konz is a beast, i'm a huge fan
We drafted Hudson to play C though. Not saying he couldn’t stay a guard but DeCastro is the best G to come around in a long time

Should I ask why?

Because it's so fast, it's on fire.

anyone watch the college prospects do those little workout obsticle coarse things today?
they had foles, moore, and keenam at QB and bunch of other guys on defense and WR and one RB pead. it was kind of cool considering it had to do with a football.
