Sporting Kansas City goalie Jimmy Nielsen described the first soccer championship of his career with a certain flavor of sentiment and passion. And perhaps some regret, too.

How in the world can No. 3 Auburn put Chris Davis’ missed field-goal return for a touchdown on the Iron Bowl’s final play in the rearview mirror and focus on No. 5 Missouri?

TopGolf, a high-tech driving range, bar and restaurant complex, is coming to the metro. The Dallas-based company wants to build a 70,000-square-foot, three-level center at the northeast corner of 107th Street and Nall Avenue in Overland Park. If all goes as planned it will open in the second quarter of 2015.

The lesson in the tragic Arrowhead Stadium death is clear: Don’t try to handle a strange or threatening situation on your own. Don’t make hasty judgments and don’t take the law into your own hands.
Like Elvis' no-hips-allowed appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," or the Beatles' arrival in America, or Woodstock, it is considered one of the milestone moments in rock history: Bob Dylan going electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
