Happy Fourth of July, wherever you may be tonight.
---Dave Hansen is off the Pump because he's on the DL*.
---If Ryan Franklin loses tonight, should we start a "20 Losses Death March"?

Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Hank Stram is dead at the age of 82.
Younger fans like myself will remember Stram as a color analyst on the radio broadcasts of Monday Night Football with Jack Buck. Here's hoping that current Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil wears a blazer with the KC logo during the Chiefs' home opener this fall. Oh wait, that's not going to happen, because of the NFL's deal with Reebok. That's too bad, because I think it would be a great tribute.
Happy Fourth of July.
