Greatness is Boring at the Open, Royals Season Over at All Star Break, Barstool Coming to KC, Good Guys with Guns Save Lives

   Is it possible in sports to watch absolute greatness and find it boring?  I'll answer that question emphatically with a YES and explain why the 150th Open Championship fell flat.

   The Royals season has been flat from the start and now they are 20 games under .500 at the All Star Break.  If the Royals were just a below average team they'd still be alive in their division... what a shame.

   There's an announcement coming Wednesday about a  Sportsbook opening at Hollywood Casino and the smart money says it will be affiliated with Barstool Sports.  This is going to be really cool.

    And thank goodness for good guys with guns.  This weekend a mall shooter in Indianapolis and a would be robber in St. Louis were shot dead by legally armed citizens.  Way to go good guys!
