Mellinger Minutes For Your Ears: Gordon, Chiefs-Ravens, and a really good question

Lots to get to this week. Alex Gordon is retiring, and the Chiefs are playing the Ravens.

Gordon debuted during the first full season I covered the Royals full-time. I can’t say I know him incredibly well — who can? — but I can say I’ve known him a long time. Wanted to share some thoughts on him as a man, and then we go heavy on Chiefs at Baltimore, including an enlightening conversation with the voice of the Ravens.

We are constantly trying to think of new ways to deliver you information, entertainment or something else you won’t get anywhere else. Part of that is evaluating how you and I can connect. My hope is this can be one more way — a podcast you can listen to whenever and wherever you like.
