    JACK: For Wiggins, KU gets a Rock Chalk!

    JACK'S SMACK | The bar has been raised on Kansas basketball like never before. Landing Andrew Wiggins has driven expectations beyond a point that’s hard to fathom. I ain't shy when it comes to barking out ... Rock Chalk Jayhawks.

    JACK: K-State about to pull a trifecta

    JACK'S SMACK | In this day and age in sports, we don't hear a lot about universities doing it the right way. But Kansas State should be commended for doing just that.

    JACK: Yost has to stop playing favorites

    JACK'S SMACK | Ned Yost will never admit that he’s wrong. Never. He's a lot like our weatherman in that regard.

    JACK: What this year could mean for Yost

    JACK'S SMACK | The way things are going with the Royals, Ned Yost is going to become the most-liked manager in this town since Whitey Herzog – or the most despised since Bob Boone.

  3. GETTY: JASON COLLINS

    JACK: I support Collins, as should you

    JACK'S SMACK: Jason Collins’ revelation that he is gay has a far-reaching effect on nearly every walk of life. No one should have to go through life in hiding!

  1. GETTY: ALEX SMITH 20130313

    JACK: Chiefs need competition at QB

    JACK'S SMACK | The Chiefs fail, yet again, to draft a quarterback. With no competition at that position, we can only hope that Alex Smith is not another Matt Cassel.

    JACK: Too much noise in Royals' TV booth

    JACK'S SMACK | There's been twice as many road games for the Royals up to this juncture, so there's been a lot of TV watching. I've come to the conclusion there's too much noise in the Royals’ TV booth, and I miss Frank White.

    JACK: Chiefs can't screw this one up

    JACK'S SMACK | Barring a draft-day trade, the Chiefs appear to be locked in on Luke Joeckel – and good for them.
