The Kansas City Star

Absolutely loaded paper this morning. Too loaded, realistically, to read it all but you should try by going to the main sports page and the All-Star page.

But, since I’m just a ridiculously swell guy, here’s a friendly service with seven links you should make sure to check out.

Your boy writes about the awkward disconnect in a game that has potentially enormous implications but is still played like an exhibition.

Also, your boy writes about the Kansas City man who’s banned from the Olympics despite being our country’s best amateur superheavyweight boxer.

Kent does a really nice job with this essay on the All-Star game’s meaning beyond baseball.

Blair takes a really interesting and deep look at the financial state of college sports.

Check this link out throughout the week.

Somehow, I don’t think I’d ever heard the story of how close Andre Dawson was to being a Royal.

I heart Bo Jackson.
