FCS: Best of 2023
For me, this edition of Fountain City Superlatives is always special as I get a chance to recap the year that I had. However, after a year of focusing on almost-exclusively barbeque, I worried that I may not have much more to give. Thankfully, that was not the case. This breaks down the best new things I tried in Kansas City in 2023. Some of the categories you know and love are missing. Some others are brand new. But here lies a, mostly, non-barbeque recap of my year.
Lucky 63
In a football-crazed town like KC, the NFL draft is always a big deal. Of course there is excitement since Kansas City is the reigning Super Bowl and AFC champs, but more than that - the NFL Draft will be in Kansas City! Brett Veach and company have a whopping 10 picks this year. In exploring those picks and the best player ever taken at each of these picks, I found a pattern that bodes well for KC in this year’s draft.
A Chance Encounter
It seems that everyone in Kansas City has a Patrick Mahomes story and in that regard, I guess I am no exception. This may not be the best Mahomes story that you have ever read, or your favorite. However, it’s my favorite because, well it’s mine. What it may in fact be is the first Patrick Mahomes story that any Kansas Citian has ever had, and that’s why it must be told.
Stop the Chop
There is so much to be proud of in Kansas City. Here in this city that constantly disproves the myth of “flyover country”, we have always been passionate about our sports. While our fandom and teams are something to take pride in, not all of the traditions associated with these teams are.
