KC and the Sunshiney Building

…a.k.a. the new Sprint Center in KC. Within the next month we’ll find out if penguins can live in the warm climate of KC as apposed to their natural habitat of Pittsburgh.

I just really rather not see the Pens move to KC. Don’t get me wrong, KC is a great place and has brought use great things like, KC Masterpiece and William Least Heat-Moon. Yeah, I don’t know either but, I did read that the city’s tap water was recently rated the cleanest among the 50 largest cities in the United States, containing no detectable impurities. So, good for them. They get a gold star for the year.

If by chance KC gets the Pens, please change the name of the team. Bring back the Scouts. Or even go gay and call them the Jazz. How about rivaling the Hurricanes and name them the Tornadoes, since KC is in “Tornado Alley”. Watch out NASCAR, the NHL might creep in on some of your most precious ad real estate spaces. During the 6 o’clock news, on the front of a t-shirt, on the guy whose trailer was shockingly and unexpectedly thrown five miles during the summer months, only because, he never thought it would had happened to him.

No, I’m sure KC is a great place.

Mario Lemieux has already been out to visit the new arena. The Anschutz Entertainment Group, who will run the arena, doesn’t seem to be stuck on the Pens. They said they’ve gotten calls from other cities. If the Pens can’t get a new arena from Pittsburgh, they might just be calling KC back. Who knows. The NHL would have to final says on if KC can host a NHL team anyways.

Second rumor is the L.A. Clippers have looked at KC.
