A Grip on Sports: The only thing we like about Kansas City right now? Nothing, other than maybe season four of ‘Fargo’

A GRIP ON SPORTS • “Squander” is a fun word to say. Maybe not the best “squ” word out there (we believe that one is “squab,” made even more memorable by the one “Two and a Half Men” episode we actually watched), but a good one.

A Grip on Sports: Why should we be limited to once a year holding up our Festivus pole and airing our grievances?

A GRIP ON SPORTS • Reading can be bad for you. Here’s proof. We once read a book as a kid in which the family celebrated a second Christmas every year. In June. Seemed right to us.
