WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

Ask any leader of a large organization, and they’ll tell you that the first 100 days of their tenure set the tone for the direction in which they want to take those they lead.

New Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves has called upon three of her best majors to serve in an elevated position as deputy police chiefs, hiring only the second Hispanic man to serve in the role. Deputy Police Chief Luis Ortiz joined two other officers in a ceremony celebrating the deputy chief promotions. It’s Ortiz’s fourth promotion in the 23 years he’s served the Kansas City Police Department.

The thing about post season play is you can hardly catch your breath and celebrate the moment before the narratives change depending on the day and the game. The total domination by the Cincinnati Bengals over the Buffalo Bills is a case in point.
