MLB has zero financial interest having us do well.

The NFL cares only about money, even at the expense of the product. MLB, at least not now, hasn't lose sight of the product.

I've had more fun watching the Royals the last couple years than I've had watching the Chiefs for over a decade. And I'm not even a baseball fan.

Of course it doesn't help that the Chiefs are a dumpster fire and the Royals are the complete opposite.

I went to Target and Home Depot this morning because I'm married and was surprised by the number of randos that commented to me how exciting that 9th inning was last night. I wouldn't figure anyone outside of KC, Toronto, and New York would be watching on a Friday night, especially after a rain delay.

Kansas City has flipped the royals switch
The Chiefs are the financial victims of the royals success

The Chiefs are victims of their own stupidity.

There is no single position in baseball as vital as a QB1. Not even a front line starting pitcher is that important to the success of the team. Add to that the fact that out of 32 NFL teams only 12-14 teams actually have a good to great quarterback, and you have lack of parity that cannot be easily overcome.

The advantage teams used to have with elite hitters is gone. So yeah, you have teams that can buy their way into the playoffs but they look like the redskins. A dysfunctional mess and a ****ed up team culture. The Yankees made the playoffs, interestingly, by following more of the Royals model. Investing in scrappy players who play excellent defense.
