Summary

Skylar Thompson is well known throughout the Midwest from his football stardom at Ft. Osage, Kansas State and now, the Miami Dolphins. And boy, oh boy, do we have a lot of football to talk about. It has been a crazy year for the late round draft choice who found himself starting in the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills and almost pulling off the unthinkable before falling 34-31. Now, this week, Skylar is coming home to raise money for the Thompson Family Fund and KSU's Johnson Cancer Research Center. If you'd like to attend "A Night with Skylar Thompson" at Goolsby's in Manhattan on March 4 or if you'd just like to donate to the cause after hearing from this special young man of faith, just call 785.473.7091 for more information. You're about to be impressed with one of the finest young people in all of sports.

1:15.8	with everyone. And that is, the receipts are in from the new sports books in the state of Kansas.
1:22.7	And what happened during the Super Bowl? During the Super Bowl this year, the sports books in Kansas
1:27.0	lost $14.5 million because everyone in the Kansas sports books bet on the Chiefs. Now,
1:34.6	that was just Super Bowl weekend. Goodness knows what it was like over a three-week period
1:39.2	where the Chiefs covered the spread against the Jaguars and covered the spread against the Bengals.
