Chiefs are actively negotiating deals with Missouri and Kansas
'We've had more meetings, more discussions,' Chiefs president Mark Donovan said Tuesday, via Dave Skretta of the Associated Press. 'At this point it's literally — you're taking an agreement this long and whittling it down to this paragraph and this line, and we need an agreement on this, and we're doing this on both sides. You're in that process where you're not sure which way it will go.'
In other words, the Chiefs are fully seizing on the leverage inherent to having two options in order to get the best deal from each place. When there's resistance, all the Chiefs have to say is,"We're not sure which way it will go.'
And that's good business for the Chiefs. As long as Missouri and Kansas are allowing it to happen, why not do it?
'Our job, and the team around me, is to get the two best possible partnerships figured out down to the detail,' Donovan added. 'At that point we go to the Hunt family and say, 'Here are the options. What do you want to do?''
There's a chance the Hunt family already knows what it wants to do, and that it's playing its preferred option against Plan B in order to get the best possible terms from Plan A.
Again, there's nothing wrong with that. As long as Missouri and Kansas are allowing it to happen, why not do it?

Chiefs owner opens up on Taylor Swift ‘whirlwind' — and the complete change she ‘unintentionally' ushered in
The Taylor Swift effect has reached the Chiefs, according to owner Clark Hunt. During an interview on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Friday, Hunt discussed the effect Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce has had on his organization following her appearance on the tight end's 'New Heights' podcast. Hunt was nothing short of positive when discussing Swift — specifically citing her impact with female Chiefs fans over recent seasons. Advertisement 3 Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt watches practice during Back Together Weekend at the team's NFL football training camp, Sunday, July 27, 2025, in St. Joseph, Mo. AP 'It's been a whirlwind, I would say, for the organization over the last two years since Taylor literally stepped into our lives. She's done an amazing job, unintentionally, of increasing our female fanbase. 'We used to be about a 50-50 ratio, male-to-female fanbase, and now 57 percent of our fans are female, which I think is probably the highest in the National Football League. So there's absolutely been a Taylor Swift effect.' Advertisement 3 Taylor Swift joined the 'New Heights' podcast on Wednesday. @New Heights/YouTube Hunt also shared his support of Swift and Kelce's relationship, saying that the two make an 'amazing couple.' 'Let me just say how happy we are for their relationship,' Hunt said. 'They're an amazing couple, and watching the two of them together is really special. That podcast, seeing them side by side talking about their relationship, was absolutely amazing.' 3 Hunt says that Swift and Kelce make an 'amazing couple.' New Heights/Youtube Advertisement During her time on the 'New Heights' podcast on Wednesday, the 14-time Grammy winner opened up about her 'rookie' NFL season during the early stages of her and Kelce's relationship, revealing the moment that means the most to her from that year. Swift, who started dating Kelce in 2023, said she cherished the moment when Kelce's mother invited her down to the field to celebrate the Chiefs' AFC Championship game win in 2024. 'The first time I stepped on the field, which would have been when you won the AFC Championship, the first season that I was with you, and it was in Baltimore, and we're in the suite and you just won the AFC Championship, we're freaking out and everybody's screaming, and [Travis'] mom goes, 'Alright, let's go down to the field,'' Swift, 35, said during the podcast. 'I was like, 'What, we're doing, what do you mean? We're going where?' And she's like, 'We're going down to the field,' and I was like, 'Did he say that that's OK?' Cause we hadn't talked about this.'

Robert MacIntyre posts a 64, builds five-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler at BMW Championship
Scheffler spent the steamy afternoon trying to keep in range. He had to settle for six pars at the end for a 65 and was at 9-under 131, at least booking a spot in the final group. Advertisement Ludvig Aberg shot 64 and was another stroke back. It was the largest 36-hole lead at the BMW Championship since Jason Day led by five shots in 2015 at Conway Farms. Day went on to win by six. 'It's only 36 holes gone. There's a long way to go,' MacIntyre said. 'I'm comfortable with who I am. I'm comfortable with the team around me, and I'm comfortable on this golf course. Just go and play golf.' Bobby Mac woke up feeling dangerous. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) He has made it look as easy as it sounds on a Caves Valley course that has been renovated, lengthened, has new greens and still hasn't put up too much resistance without much wind. MacIntyre still putted well, except for the 5-foot birdie he missed on the 18th and another birdie chance inside 8 feet on the eighth hole. He has gained 6.8 shots on the field in putting through 36 holes to lead the key putting statistic. Advertisement But he was rarely out of position even when he missed a fairway or green. 'Yesterday the putter was on fire. Today I felt like my iron play was exceptional,' MacIntyre said. 'Obviously, coming from links golf back out to throwing darts is a bit different technique-wise, turf-wise, so it took a little bit of readjusting, but I've got the hang of it.' Scheffler had his 15th consecutive sub-70 round and pulled within five shots on No. 12 when he hit a 4-iron from 221 yards to 7 feet for birdie. But he had only two reasonable chances from the 15-foot range the rest of the way. Scottie Scheffler carded a 65 Friday to earn a spot in the final group for Saturday's third round at the BMW Championship. Nick Wass/Associated Press 'Bogey-free is always nice,' Scheffler said. 'I would have liked to get to have gotten a couple better looks down the stretch, but didn't hit as many fairways the last few holes, and out here with the way the holes are shaped, you've got to be in play. Did a good job of saving pars when I needed to on the back.' Hideki Matsuyama has yet to make bogey over 36 holes, even more remarkable because he has been feeling ill this week. That much was clear when he came out of scoring and headed straight for the car, a Japanese television crew hustling to try to catch up with him. He shot 64 and was alone in fourth place, still seven shots behind. Michael Kim had a 66 and was in the group tied for fifth that included Tommy Fleetwood (69), still eight shots behind. The position on the leaderboard is more meaningful to Kim than how far he is behind. The top 30 in the FedEx Cup advance to the Tour Championship next week, and Kim needs to finish around this spot to advance. Advertisement This game is a head scratcher sometimes 😅 — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) Kim and Harry Hall, who had a 67 and was tied for eighth, were the only two projected to move into the top 30 with 36 holes still to play. Hall, the Englishman who played his college golf at UNLV, has quietly had a good year and is turning heads with his efficient swing and improved putting. He has four top 10s and has missed only three cuts in 23 starts. Hall has finished out of the top 25 only once in his last 10 starts. As much as he wants to be at East Lake, he now is in the conversation for the Ryder Cup. He says he has received a few text messages from European captain Luke Donald, but he has not been fitted for a uniform. Rory McIlroy, playing for the first time since the British Open, was paired with Scheffler for two days. He overcame an early double bogey to post a 66, leaving him 10 shots behind. 'I think I'm just playing my own tournament at this point,' McIlroy said. 'I just want to try to play a good weekend and feel a little bit better about my game going into the Tour Championship. 286 yards to 7 feet 🤯 — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR)
