SportsBeat KC: Watching NFL season through Chiefs prism. Who else looked good Week 1?
If you didn’t find sports to watch this weekend, you weren’t trying. The NFL, college football, baseball, NBA playoffs, Stanley Cup playoffs, U.S. Open tennis, MLS soccer and more were all in action.
Late summer is always a busy time on the sports calendar. The coronavirus has made it even more so. That made for plenty of discussion topics for columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger, starting with how the NFL and sports are handling attendance. The consensus: The Chiefs did it well for their opener last Thursday.
Also on the docket: how we watch NFL games through a Chiefs prism, the rough start for Kansas State and Kansas football, and sizzling Royals and Aldaberto Mondesi. We talk about it all on this episode of Sportsbeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.
