Probably a little bit less.

In case you missed the big news, we've been talking about it for most of the rest of the afternoon.

A couple of good stories.

One good story, one bad story when it comes to the Royals.

But the good story first.

Kansas City City Council has passed the ordinance to authorize the city manager to negotiate a term sheet and earmarked $600 million toward a Royals downtown stadium at Washington Square Park.

It passed by an 11 to 1 margin with one person not voting.

Afterwards, a very happy Quinton Lucas talked to reporters.

That is a man who is happy and should be, KC Moe Mayor Quinton Lucas, after the Kansas City City Council passed the ordinance to authorize a city manager to negotiate a term sheet and earmark $600 million toward a Royals downtown stadium at Washington Square Park.

11-1 was the verdict with one abstention.

And so there are a number of hurdles that we've expected to be cleared easily, and they've been cleared pretty darn easily.

We'll come back and we'll give you the kicker.

We wrap up the program next.

And by kicker, we don't mean the kicker to the stones that the Royals just took in Detroit.

Man, that is going to be one quiet plane ride to the Big Apple this afternoon, into this evening, 10-9.

Royals give up three in the ninth.

We'll talk more about that later this evening on your show.

Yes, I'll be glad to be a fun guest there.

Interesting, NCAA recommending an earlier start to the football season in 2027.

Beginning next year, college football could have an earlier official start to the season as the NCAA's Football Oversight Committee today recommended a standard start before Labor Day weekend.
