Of the recent list of Forbes “America’s 20 Most Miserable Cities” Kansas City Missouri is number 13.
High taxes and crime rates hurt Kansas City’s standing, but what moved them up our misery list were its two awful pro sports teams. The Royals and Chiefs combined finished outside of last place only once in the past three years.

So if you live local and haven’t heard about this yet maybe you watch the Today Show? The Olathe Northwest High School Basketball coach, Joel Branstrom, was supposed to be victim of a practical joke. However, he became victorious over his pranksters.
Branstrom was a participant in a school pep rally. The setup was that he would win Final Four NCAA Basketball tickets if he could make a half-court basketball shot blindfolded. Guess what…He made it! Jokes on you Jack! The assemblers of the prank asked the crowd to cheer for Branstrom no matter what, but there was a little confusion when he made it. Oh, and there were no tickets. It was assumed from the very beginning that he had no chance to make the basket. As Vegas could teach these kids, there is no such thing as a sure thing.
