TODAY'S HEADLINES


THE KING OF LOCAL TV SPORTS, DENNIS PATCHIN BIDS FAREWELL WITH HIS TRADEMARK
HAWAIIAN SHIRT, A STILL-SPICY ATTITUDE AND AN INCREDIBLE LEGACY

What? Dinner in front of the tube with no place setting for Dennis Patchin?
Chiefs highlights and Zags recaps without his brisk narration? No more of him
giving high school touchdowns the Super Bowl treatment and making B tournament
3-pointers sound so improbable you'd think it was Steph Curry bringing home the
gold? The nightly sports without a whisper – not that he ever relied on that
volume setting – of Dennis Patchin? OK, altogether now: Are you kidding me?
