Mellinger podcast: Tell your friends you love them + Terez memories from Brett Veach

Terez Paylor was always at home on the sidelines at an NFL training camp, particularly in Kansas City, his place of residence for the last 15 years.

The only show I had it in me to do this week is a show about our dear friend Terez Paylor.

We talk here about telling people we love them, listeners share stories and Chiefs general manager Brett Veach gives his memories of Terez — from the other side of the notebook.

Promise we’ll get to actual sports next week.

Please listen to new episodes every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

New to the show? Here’s what we’re doing:

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.

Join us every Friday for behind-the-scenes access to interviews with Kansas City’s coaches, fans and reporters. We’ve talked with Patrick Mahomes, Mike Matheny, Brett Veach — and more. You can get all the episodes in one place right here.

If you like our work, you can help support us by subscribing to the SportsPass. It’s the best deal in town: $30 for a year or, with a new promotion, $1 per month for the first three months. Either way you get access to all our work, including the best and most Chiefs coverage anywhere.
