The D.A.'s Office. As a rookie, Taylor Tankersley entered the Marlins bullpen with filthy stuff and a great triple-word-score. D.A. sat down with Tank before the '08 season.
Know this Guy? Attn: Hurricanes fans. Yes, this crazy old coot will become your go-to-guy over the next month, like him or not (mostly not).
Dancing With Retreads. With recent reports surfacing that Jason Taylor and the Dolphins are splitting amicably (kinda like Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd), DolFan is worrying where the franchise is headed. If true, is this a full-fledged implosion of a pitiful 1-15 roster or a career Build-A-Bear to J.T. for all those seasons of faithful service?
Rocket Grounded. In the case Rocket v. The Mitchell Report, we were all losers. Incompetent politicians, sleazy liars on both sides and cotton-mouthed lawyers made the day one to remember and forget. The Clemens camp came out looking desperate and unbelievable, his legacy still tarnished.
Giant Moment. Because of the Patriots marquee, Super Bowl XLII will be remembered more for the loss of history than the Giants incredible win. Which might just be perfect for a Giants team that knew all season it had severe deficiencies, but ignored the second-guessers, non-believers and Patriots-obsessed talking heads.
Orange Classic. Saturday marked the final football inside the venerable Orange Bowl, a rusting, creaking, dilapidated hunk a metal in the middle of gnarled Miami. Damn, I loved that place.
D.A. Does Florida. The DA Show has finally landed after airline peanuts, two in-flight movies, screaming kids and three bathroom breaks. The good people at WQAM in Miami have signed the show on as their nighttime wattage.
The Mighty Midwest. At 610 Sports in Kansas City the DA Show had over four years, 1,000 episodes, three Hall of Fame ceremonies, almost $10,000 raised for Kansas City charities and one Crazy Ray. I would like to send along a big fat thanks to the good people and great sports fans of the Mighty Midwest.
Welcome to Miami. For Dolphins fans sick to their stomach about a potential 0-16 season, I provide you an alternate perspective. Enjoy it. I know, crazier than the love child of Tom Cruise and Lindsey Lohan on quaaludes. But hear me out.
The Ghost is Gone The most prolific running back in Chiefs history has finally stepped away after a strange and winding return. Unfortunately, the yards and touchdowns have faded while the weirdness never will.
Follow These Birds No matter how it ends, Kansas football has been on the move. Whatever the marketing slogan, regardless of the final month, the key here is Kansas football truly mattered for one glorious season.
Going on the Offense The Chiefs offense has been difficult to watch the first five weeks of the season. But who is truly at fault? With this much putridity, there is plenty of blame to pass around.
DA vs. King Carl Terrible? Awful? Does it matter? DA confronts King Carl in a heated exchange, which made Chiefs fans either cringe or cheer across the Midwest. You be the judge.
Corn Fed and Loving It There was a silver lining in traveling to Iowa City and watching the Orange get pimp slapped by 35: Hawkeye fans know how to party. DA's trip to the Land of Corn ends in a blog.
An Era on Hold Brodie Croyle will not yet be handed the starting QB job in Kansas City. That is probably a good thing since he is not the best quarterback on the roster. DA analyzes why.
DA-Disaster DA spent his weekend throwing no-no softball and getting chummy with some former Chiefs greats. Oh yeah, he almost got decapitated by Neil Smith, too. Extra extra, read all about it!
Young and the Restless This month two of the Chiefs biggest stars are unhappy with their contracts. One will get paid. One will not. But is either one worth it? DA examines the financial decisions staring at the Chiefs front office.
Home of the Free (Safety) On Independence Day, we Americans owe it to this great country to not only celebrate the wins... but the losses, too. Enter DA.
Off-Broadway Musical The Royals are toying with turning third basemen/rightfielder Mark Teahan into third basemen/rightfielder/first basemen Mark Teahan. The sense in this decision is obscure at best. At worst, its idiocy.
The TV Kneel Down Dissatisfied? That sums up the collective attitude of Sopranos fans after a jaw-droppingly anticlimatic final episode. A series that has always been prided on carrying itself above the television norm, left its fans hemming, hawing and most importantly, seething.
Gone Fishing Just because the deal is done, does not mean the ordeal is over. Trent has finally been traded to Miami. But what about those left behind? DA dissects the after effects of the deal.
DA vs. Herm: The Sequel Another stormy moment between coach and I has once again called into question our relationship. Like any married couple, we have our share of confrontations. I would like to believe it is merely an emotional spat, something to be patched up over cherry cobbler.
Deal Another Day No one quite knows when the deal to send Trent to Miami will be completed. Not many trades are so glaringly obvious that you can name the teams involved, the compensation and the timetable. But there are more certainties in the Trent-to-Miami deal than a Bond sequel.
Soccer for Dummies The first-place Wizards invited me to handle the sideline reporting duties as FC Dallas came to town. My first concern? I needed to brush up on my MLS. Second concern? How would my ivory bisque foundation hold up for three hours?
Buddy the Blunder Summer debate now focuses on the future of Buddy Bell. His pluses? The losses obviously bother him. His minuses? Well, he loses. A lot. All the time. With every team. He is, well, a loser. In the best definition of the term, of course!
Grading the Draft To grade the Chiefs immediately after the draft would be an exercise in futility. It would be assigning definitive value to hypothetical results. DA, however, hands out the report card on the job done this past weekend addressing the areas of need for Kansas City.
The Reign Is Over Draft day will dawn with Chiefs Nation again torn like bi-polar disorder. Optimism reigns because of Herm Edwards. Pessimism seeps in as we all realize Carl Peterson has final say. This is life as a Chiefs fan.
True Youth Movement This summer, the DA Show is throwing caution to the wind and sponsoring a co-ed tee-ball team in Kansas City. Sure, they are young. But so is the rest of the league. The age-limit is six. We will be there. Will you?
Needing More Hugs As Bob Huggins departs for the mountains and coal mines of West Virginia, the trail of tears he left in Manhattan is obviously emotional. But let us not live in denial. Who could really blame him?
Planet Zack On Planet Zack, Chipotle can be eaten every day, wine is consumed straight from the bottle and girlfriends have good mouths. Confused? So is the rest of the clubhouse. On Planet Zack, the art of pitching is also a little too easy.
California Cred After UCLA beat up on Kansas 68-55 Saturday, the common refrain of fans and media was just how poorly the Jayhawks played. While much has been made of what Kansas did not do, DA says it was more about what UCLA did.
Sheer Bedlam The state of Oklahoma has given us the Bedlam Series. Of course, that term is used to describe the in-state rivalry of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The same term could be used to describe this past weekend and the Big 12 Tournament.
Trent and Damon. Again. The winters loudest crash in Kansas City was not last months 30-car pileup on I-435. It was the Chiefs career of Trent Green. The signing of Damon Huard is still reverbing up to Arrowheads 300-Level.
Fresh Frosh Amazingly, the responsibility of leading the 2007 Jayhawks past the first weekend of the tournament falls to a freshman: Sherron Collins. Despite his youth, the 5-11, 200-pound bowling ball from Chi-Town is clearly most fit for the task.
Tiki Torched I have long tried to dilute my passion for the Giants by smothering it with a reporters cap. As a member of the media, its vital for me to stay objective and detached from the sports I cover. To hell with that right now. Tiki has me bent.
The 2007 Hometown Hotties Like the SI swimsuit issue thawing sports fans out of their winter freeze, each February we hand over Valentines to the hottest of the Kansas City television personalities, just to make sure they feel loved (and stalked). Here is the complete class.
Buffalo Chips The 16,300 Kansas fans that fought traffic through the two-lane streets of Lawrence should have simply stayed in bed according to the Colorado media department. The Buffaloes media notes read SURE THINGS IN LIFE: Death, taxes and a loss in Saturdays game at Kansas. How is that for inspiration?
The 300-Level Charity From the DA Show to all of you in the 300-Level that made it possible, thanks. Friday, the staff had the opportunity to deliver toys to the children at KU Med, all purchased with the donations from the first ever Holi-DA Dinner for the Kids.
Dayton Flier Some scoffed at the hiring of Dayton Moore as Royals GM. Could a guy who had never been a GM before, actually resurrect this woebegone franchise? DA examines why he has all the tools to make Kansas Citians believe.
Herm's Ego Held Scoreless The Chiefs best play call of the season was made by Herm Edwards last Tuesday. It kept everyone off balance and fooled an entire city. It probably also cost the Chiefs their season. Why wasnt Damon Huard inserted into the playoff game? Its Herms new math.
The Week 17 Wonder At this point anything is possible. The Chiefs needed half the AFC to lose at home. When Joe Nedney is your Week 17 MVP... well, you backed in. But who cares? Tis better to be lucky, than good. Here is the rundown of the most improbable weekend in franchise history.
DAs 2007 Sports Resolutions Monday at midnight we will all consider our 2007 resolutions. But for all the promises about starting diets, assuming better work ethics and swearing off swearing, there are sports resolutions too. Here are a few of mine. In 2007, I, DA, will...
The Cool Old Guys Its kinda quiet right now. The ballrooom is clearing out and honestly its getting a little boring. Theres George Brett. Hes cavorting with one of the gorgeous martini girls, joking about Quizs mustache or Freddie Pateks size-seven cleats or something. Whatever it is, its working. But something is still missing.
F-I-X the B-C-S I now submit a classic episode of Diffrent Strokes to the BCS Committee. Dear Committee, during season four Arnold dressed up as Mr. T just to impress a girl named Angie. When Mr. T learned of the mess, he sat down and taught Arnold to simply be himself and the girls would follow.
Props to Team Roc LaDanian Tomlinson is shattering records and Tiki Barber is going to retire. The headlines are going other places late this football season, but theres reason enough for the national scribes to keep their monocles turned toward the Mighty Midwest: Team Roc.
DA Gives Thanks Its the time of year for DAs annual Thanksgiving column. Time to run down all things good in the life of DA, including, but not limited to Crazy Ray. Boys and girls, hug your loved ones. Its time we held hands and hugged.
The 2nd Annual HOF: Incoming They said it couldnt be done. By they I mean 610 Sports management. Bring hundreds of DA Show fans together to celebrate the show, its callers, emailers and drink at 6:00a? They were right. We started drinking at 5:00a. The story of the 2nd Annual HOF.
Perfect Strangers How diametrically opposite are the two state line football programs? If Missouri is Paris Hilton, Kansas is playing Nicole Ritchie (with plenty more weight). Like the two starlets, the Tigers and Jayhawks couldnt be more different right now.
Buck, Luv Ya Not only did Kansas City lose a legend with Buck ONeil. The entire sports world did. DA has a final Valentines Day card for the man who was all about love. Mmm hmm.
Toughness of Trent Not long ago it was popular opinion that Trent Green wasnt tough enough to lead the Chiefs. As he battles back for a spot on the field, one can only ask: Is anyone else as tough as Trent?
Hall of Fame: Again The 2nd Annual DA Show Hall of Fame inductions are just around the corner. Like the veterans committee deliberating deep into the night, this years class has us debating daily. Whos got the legs to pull it off? See if you agree with our picks.
Cincin-awful What went wrong on Opening Day? Just about everything. Loss in the standings, loss at the most important position on the field. How quickly can Herm and the Chiefs get it straightened out. DA has the answer.
Absolut Fantasy My name is D.A. and Ive been playing fantasy sports for nine years now. No, I have never won my league. But this year is different. I can feel it. Im drinking now. Heres the draft diary.
Pigskin Power Everywhere you turn this month you will see it. This is truly a national phenomenon and is annually growing bigger and stronger, until eventually we will all just be eating John Maddens Turducken sausage for breakfast.
Road Kill in Jersey The Chiefs say theres nothing to worry about after the 0-2 start to the preseason. No the sky isnt falling yet. But it might be easier to believe had the Giant not run freely through the Kansas City defense. Again.
Human Joystick Reloaded Three years ago he was a national sensation. Now, Kansas City is wondering if Dante Hall can do it without his old coach, mentor and running mate. DA sits down with the Human Joystick and tells us why Chiefs Nation should be dusting off the 82 jerseys.
Postcards From the Edge The DA Show is back in the Great White North for the third straight year. The Chiefs arent the only kids taking two-a-days. Big Willie, Junior and TD Tony top the postcards DA is sending back from training camp.
Lawful Entry After a two year courtship with more plot twists than a daytime soap, Ty Law is a Chief. But how much difference does one guy make on a defense that's been getting lit up for years? DA pens the answer.
Crazy Rays Crazy Idea People think Crazy Ray is exactly that for attempting a tryout with the Royals. Unfortunately, what they dont realize is sometimes ideas like this one are so crazy, they just might work.
Winning By Losing Anti-soccerites have more ammunition after the Americans quick exit from the World Cup. But DA tells us, all is not lost for the Beautiful Game in this country. In fact, this World Cup might have been more successful than you think.
Touch of Death The Crypt Keeper is at it again. Its not enough to run a once proud franchise into the ground using the sinister touch of a blood-sucking vampire. Now, he's silencing dissenting opinions. All hail Kim Jong-Glass!
The Futbol Channel With the World Cup around the corner, we found our own way to make soccer history at The DA Show. Forget barrel rolls in open cockpit fighter planes. The most nervous I've been? A corner kick in front of 10,000 soccer fans.
Pay That Man His Money The offseason has rushed by in a flash and now its time for the Chiefs to step up. Before training camp even gets going, lets avoid any problems. The Chiefs need to pay LJ his money. Here's why.
The So-Called Baseball Man The axe should have fallen on Allard Baird's head a long time ago. Sure, he's been hamstrung by awful ownership, but how did he ever get titled a "Baseball Man?"
Drafts of Hazzard How did you grade the Chiefs 2006 draft? DA breathes a sigh of relief for a commitment to a pass rush, but unless theres a few surprises this could be another average day for King Carl.
Draft Week With Herm The old regime is out, the new one is in. The Chiefs are now led into the draft by the young, militaristic Herm over the old, coddling Dick. For better or worse? DA thinks better.
Dropping It Like Its Hot Everyone has a mock draft. Not everyone drafts their own soundbites in a week-long ordeal. If three years of The DA Show has taught us anything is that conversational sound clips taken out of context are what makes the world go 'round.
Really Good Sports Throwing a celebration and not sure who to invite? Well, Google Edmontons zip code, because youre putting the Oilers on the guest list! Dont worry, they dont eat much and theyve got nothing going on until at least October.
Opening Act All that talk about baseball apathy in Kansas City is nonsense. How else would you explain everything we saw opening week for the '06 Royals? Powder Blue: start your engines.
Postcards from the Desert The DA Show is pimping Royals Spring Training in style here in the Valley of the Sun. The hotel were staying has no bars on the windows and can not be seen from the nearest railroad tracks. These are all good things for a pair of guys going on the air at 4:30a local time. We present, the annual DA Show Blog.
Emergency Exit Row Bill Self and the Jayhawks were ousted once again in the first round by a double-digit seed. How did it happen? What does this say about Self? Is it doomed to happen again? Here's the coroner's report on Kansas-Bradley and the first round of the Big Dance.
Bubblicious Did that dentists receptionist from Pidgeon Forge, Tennessee actually predict all 64 games correctly? Did I really pick nearly all 64 games incorrectly? Is that Digger Phelps real hair? Of course, its that -mad- part thats become an accepted phrase of American lexicon, so I guess we knew all this already.
From Russia, With Love Either Masha Lopatova is the coolest chick to walk the face of the Earth or shes a sinister criminal mastermind. Most believe the man known as AK-47 has just struck the lottery. Incorrect! Buyer beware: this is merely a coy trap to put the safety on this assault rifle.
Wrong Way, Royals Whos ready for their cold shower? Ive got the bucket of ice water ready and waiting. Im dousing this brand new seasons optimism before Buddy Bell can even break a sweat! Im apologizing in advance, but someone has to say it: the Royals have hoodwinked us. Again.
Guess Who? Its the Roos Its perfect timing for a UMKC program looking for street cred. Mizzou fans are disenchanted with the buffoonery within their athletic department and the Fightin Roos have a Kansas City kid stirring the pot. Could UMKC be dancing while the Tiggers are sitting at home?
Clean Up in Columbia An athletic department in shambles. An embattled coach ousted. A program that smells rotten. Will Mike Alden survive long enough to take out the trash in Columbia? Or will the whole mess get one big Spic-n-Span?
Having a Riot in Detroit We laughed. We cried. We all developed Black Lung after 23 hours in the car with Rhonda Moss. From the game to the 610 Sports Real World house the station would never be the same. This was Super Bowl week in the Motor City for KCSP
Sour Patch Kids KU basketball fans could find themselves very bored come March. This edition of KU hoops is a little like an early version of Windows. Sure, you can see the potential, but it sill has some serious flaws.
Lazy Saturday I settled into my DA-z-Boy for a historical day of sports viewing. I would attempt to watch both NFL Playoff games and both local Big 12 hoops games. I had a responsibility to my town, my team and to myself.
Herminator 2: Judgement Day I guess itÕs understandable. Now that Dick Vermeil has stepped down, we all need to pick up the slack and lose our minds for him. The bread crumbs of the latest Chiefs coaching search lead toHerm Edwards' house.
The KC Sports Fans 2006 Resolutions The New Year is the perfect time to look back at past twelve months and learn from our mistakes. But for Kansas City sports fans in 2006, are there any lessons left to learn?
2005 Caller Hall of Fame The inaugural DA Show Hall of Fame class was recently enshrined during a morning remote at Nick & Jake's in Overland Park. Many thanks to all listeners who turned out and helped make the event a huge success.
The 2005 DA Showies
It's time to reflect on the best, worst and most memorable events and performances in Kansas City's world of sports. We present to you: The 2005 DA Showies.
The Arrival of a Star
He should be canonized after his 30-carry, 140-yard, 2 TD Instant Classic against the hated Broncos. Yet, there are Chiefs fans who are still loathe to warm up to Larry Johnson. Why? Check out DA's interview with LJ.
There's Something About Anna
I’m targeting the league's most valuable off-season move and hoping the Royals wise up and get the deal done. An innings-eating veteran pitcher AND a city free from terrorists! Go out and get Mets pitcher Kris Benson. And his lovely wife Anna.
DA's Fearless Playoff Forecast
Can the Chiefs sneak their way into the playoffs? Do they have to run the table to get there? Are we just biding time until the next defensive debacle? I, omnipotent DA, provide the answers.
Show Me... More
Gary Pinkel’s season five and season three of “The O.C.” should be sold as a holiday box set this month. Like the hurried story lines and paper thin acting on "The O.C." Tiger fans know it should be better than this.
Seeing Red
My first trip to Lincoln was a classic Husker gameday experience. Complete with Coach Callahan almost giving the game away. But, that was nothing compared to how the Chiefs handled themselves in Buffalo.
DA's Chuck n' Duck November 8th
The Space Cowboys got one right on Sunday. Then again, Mizzou and the chicks in Tampa didn't. So, maybe it was a wash, huh? Gals! Just let 'em be.
Slashing and Burning
Bill Callahan says he didn't mean a "throat slash" with malicious intent. He says this is being blown way out of proportion. Well, judge for yourself. Either way, I'm guessing this isn't what Husker nation had in mind.
Code Blue
After 106 losses, don’t we deserve a respite? Now that the World Series is over and the 2005 baseball season is mercilessly behind us, it’s time to answer the most important lingering question and then move on: should Allard Baird be fired?
DA's Chuck n' Duck: October 24th
We learned a few things this weekend. The National Lampoon's Chiefs Vacation ended up not being nearly as bad as anticipated. A kid named Eli made new fans in KC. And Marty couldn't believe his eyes. Again.
DA's Chuck n' Duck: October 17th
Apologies for the week off, but I took a BYE like the Chiefs. Actually, the week away was good for us all. It prepared us to say hello to bickering in Lawrence, good bye to the Wiz and "screw you" to the Chiefs coaching staff. It's Kansas City in mid-October. Yee-hah!
Lighting the Lamp (Again)
When the Sprint Center opens in 2007, should Kansas City target an NBA or NHL team? Which sport could attract a crowd to come downtown forty nights per winter? With September's exhibition hockey game at Kemper, I solidified my answer.
DA's Chuck n' Duck Week 4
Football. Exhibition Hockey. Skunked beer. Antwan Randle El. What a long, strange weekend it was.
DA's Chuck n' Duck Week 3
The good, the bad and the ugly of September's third weekend. Unfortunately, I was scared out of my mind for most of Saturday and Sunday. And not because of Nebraska's offense (but good guess).
DA's Quick Slants: Week 2 Forgive me. These "quick slants" might turn into rambling, incoherent Cal-Stanford kick returns. Why? I've been relegated to the DA-Z-boy for five days, sick as a dog, watching Dave Wannstadt torture another city.
DA's Quick Slants: Week 1 After every weekend this football season, DA will bring you a bag full of his quick thoughts. That, of course, assuming he isn't still in Lot C at Arrowhead with the Chiefs Super Fans and a thermos of Tequila-Lemonades.
DA's Fall Cleaning The heat has subsided. The kids are back in school. The Chiefs will finally play games that matter. And the DA show is, well... the DA Show. Time for some Fall Cleaning to wrap up the memorable summer of 2005.
What I Learned This Summer Usually it pretty much stinks when we have to go back to school. But this September, I'm kind of looking forward to it, because it means Royals season is over. Here's what I learned over my summer vacation.
Blog: Camp Happy The rest of my media bretheren (as well as the coaches and players) think I'm crazy for writing this. But, I love Chiefs training camp. Practices are boring, River Falls is sleepy and the dorms are uncomfortable. It's perfect.
Surtain Splash (July 25, 2005) The worst thing Carl Peterson ever said about Chiefs fans, just might be the best thing that ever happened to them. Carl opened his big mouth, then opened his fat bank account. Patrick Surtain is a Chief and finally, it's a different ball game.
Fight Club Something's in the air and it's wafting over Kansas City. The Royals are fighting other teams? Chiefs fans are fighting each other? Anna Benson is fighting everyone? Dr. D.A. explains.
Derby: Fully Loaded Let's be honest. Baseball has its fair share of problems, But the Homerun Derby is not one of them. Leave well enough alone and just enjoy the Bobby, Papi and Pudgy Show.
Independence Excess July 4th, our national birthday party, has plenty of everything. So to celebrate our country, why not list off some of the excessive numbers in sports that spell A-m-e-r-i-c-a one hot dog at a time?
2005 Birth-DA Blog We laughed. We cried. We kicked the keg in record time. In between beers and pulled pork sandwiches, I kept a mental blog of my birthday party.
Minutes of Thunder I stared at the I-70 asphalt. I jumped in the race suit. I threw on the helmet. I floored the gas. I felt like Mario Andretti. I drove like Mario Cantone.
What The 'Stache Has Taught Me For nearly a month, my life has been consumed by facial hair. But instead of turning the Royals luck around, I've merely become their newest punchline. Therein, lies the lessons.
In The Kisser You want the worst marketing campaign ever? How about what the Royals are trotting out right now. Please, ignore what you see on the field! Now for Kiss Cam!
Together We 'Stache After the resignation of Tony Pena, the Royals lost not only their manager, but also the best facial hair on the team. Enter "Juntos Mustachos." Loosley translated: Together We 'Stache. The DA Show is going retro and bringing the groovy mojo. Boss!
Eagle Droppings Only in the nation's capital could three pro teams have the same mascot. DA tells us why the Nats' new "Screech" is just part of the insanity.
Lessons From the Beaneaters After a trip to Fenway Park, DA pops a hole in the Royals downtown ballpark balloon. If you saw what DA saw in Boston, you'd agree, the K can have it all.
DA Show's Prep Course It's almost finals time across the Midwest. So DA is here to help you cram for a DA Show Final Exam -- No-Doze, Red Bull and black market Jolt not included in course fees.
Survivor: Kauffman Stadium As the Royals open up a new season in 2005, everyone wants to know just how bad they'll be. DA is here to hand out the final roses.
DA's Spring Break Postcards The DA Show hit the road again. This time it was to celebrate Spring Break with the Royals. Here at the e-PostCards from Arizona!
Madness As An Understatement Kooky mascots? Check. Mind-numbing upsets? Check. A hotel with a skeet shooting range? Check. Yeah, this was the DA Show's weekend in Oklahoma City.
The Worst Year Ever The Roos were supposed to be the team that broke our city's sports jinx. But they played like Capt. Kangaroo Sat. night. Now, they're just part of the Worst Year Ever.
Marching Madness D-Day is here. The Chiefs snow globe has officially been shaken up. What's their plan? DA tells them what it should be.
The DA Show Strikes Black Too vanilla, huh? Too white, huh? Well, the DA Show is answering all the critics and celebrating Black History Month the only way they know fit. By adding a few of our friends.
Kangarooey Part Two-ey DA + UMKC = KARMA. It's the next DA Show class trip. Here's all the details.
The DA Super Blog DA spent Super Bowl week in Jacksonville -- check out his daily thoughts on life, food and chicks in Florida from the biggest spectacle in sports.
