LARRY THE CABLE GUY

saturday

If you're looking for a romantic Saturday night out, definitely do not buy tickets to see Larry the Cable Guy. The redneck comedian, real name Daniel Lawrence Whitney, is best known for making fart jokes, talking about how horny he is, and slinging barbs at Obama. Oh yeah, he says "Git-r-done" a lot, too. But hey, if that tickles your funny bone, you might want to fork over the $53.50-$64 a ticket and head over to the Independence Events Center, 19100 E. Valley View Parkway in Independence, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Who needs romance when you've got a night of excellent people-watching and pee-your-pants funny fart jokes, anyway?

SUNDAY

CHIEFS VS. BRONCOS

sunday

We want a do-over. Two weeks ago, the Broncos stampeded the Chiefs 49-29 in Denver, trampling hopes that the Chiefs were becoming one of the NFL's best turnaround teams. The loss was a tough one — especially for coach Todd Haley, who afterward refused to shake the hand of Broncos coach Josh McDaniels (the moment in question is pictured above). But things have turned around since then: The Chiefs won their last two games and currently hold first place in the AFC West. Tune to CBS at noon Sunday or buy tickets ($30-$265 at ticketmaster.com) to watch the rematch firsthand at Arrowhead Stadium.
