Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   It was Ladies Day Tuesday in the Trump administration as Pam Bondi was the most prepared witness ever in front of the Senate and Kristi Noem takes on criminals and officials in Oregon.
   The mayor of Chicago has declared he's developing ICE free zones so it begs the question... can I run for mayor and develop IRS free zones?
   We have multiple stories of media racing to the bottom as Nicole Wallace is on the hot seat and NBC News contradicts its own reporting.
   The Chiefs have the highest paid kicker in the league and he's struggling more than anyone else on the team.  This has to change fast.
   Mizzou has a 15 game home winning streak on the line Saturday as they host Alabama.  But they also have a steak of 5 SEC losses to the Tide.  Something's got to give.
   The MLB playoffs serve up some real drama and a man in Canada gets the strangest DUI ever.

   You may not like my take on the Chiefs super disappointing loss to Jacksonville Monday night but I actually feel better about this team than I have all year.  Yes, there were a few plays in this one that you just can't have... ever.  But, for the first time in a couple years I feel great about the offense and expect it to get better.  Hang in there, this is going to be a bumpy road but nobody is running away with the AFC West.
   Chiefs President Mark Donovan shares plans for a what a renovated Arrowhead would look like and you won't believe how little $800 million gets you today.
   Trump and his admin are cracking down on all these thugs spitting on feds and firing bricks at buildings.  Let's move this up through the court system and get the full on green light please.
   A once popular country singer apparently doesn't like selling music or tickets as he's decided to release a song blasting ICE and the United States.  Oh, my.
   Mizzou and a couple of other former Big 12 teams are undefeated in the SEC and this week's game against Bama feels like the biggest moment in a long, long time for the Tigers.  
   And remember the Phillies fan and his son that crazy Karen ran up to for a baseball home run ball?  Remember he gave it to her?  Well, he got something a lot better this weekend.

   The rest of the league is allowing the Chiefs to get right back into the thick of things now that every team has at least one loss.  Will the Chiefs kick the door down or was the performance against the Ravens not that impressive?
   Stan Weber is here to talk about what KC needs to do in order to top a much improved 3-1 Jaguars team on Monday Night Football.

   
We have a little bit of everything today as we head into a college football weekend.  Mizzou is off and so are the Chiefs... sort of.   KC is at Jacksonville Monday night but we still have a couple games that really matter.  KU and KSU are on the road with must wins if they want to be part of a Big 12 Conference race.  www.dannyclinkscale.com is here to talk college, Chiefs and even a bit of golf and baseball.
   Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your point spread picks.  And, we have a chat with Missouri Congressman Mark Alford about the growing political violence from the left.

   A listener turned me on to a little known podcast for men dealing with addiction.  It's as much therapy for the guest and listeners as it is anything else and the latest conversation is with former Chiefs coach Britt Reid who is out of prison and building a new life.  I was skeptical at first, thinking Britt would not come clean and try to create an appearance that all is well.
   Instead, he tells all on "That Sober Guy" podcast.  You're about to hear him say things about his life of guns, drugs, addiction  and prison.  He chronicles living at his dad's house, working for his dad as a coach and using and abusing for decades.  Contrary to news reports, Andy Reid knew everything and warned his sons they are in a family filled with addicts.  This is gut wrenching and it explains a lot about why the Chiefs have been so secretive.  Not anymore.  Britt smoked pot and got drunk at Arrowhead and nearly killed a little girl.  He thought his worst days were behind him as it was only marijuana and booze and not heroine and cocaine and opioids.  This is the story of a family dealing with addiction and tragedy all while living a high profile life at the top of the NFL.  There is no other football story like this and Britt shares it all.
  Then we lighten things up with some football fun for Mizzou fans as Jon Gruden is on the band wagon and the great Stephen Miller says Memphis is about to be liberated.

   I can think of a thousand things that if they were shutdown today I would notice.  The federal government isn't one of them.   So here we go, will this be another shutdown about nothing that we all forget about or will President Trump make this a shutdown to remember?
   Frank White is out as Jackson County Executive... wait until you hear how badly he got smoked at the polls.  Now, who's next and what does it mean for the Royals and Chiefs.  At the same time, a lawsuit in Missouri is likely headed to the state's Supreme Court to keep the Royals and Chiefs from using tax revenue to build.
   Kansas schools are becoming the embarrassment of the land as a young, portly principal with blue hair at an Olathe grade school takes a liberal stand.  And a sex ed teacher in Derby is arrested for child endangerment.  Why is this happening in Kansas so often and not Missouri?
   The teenager that attacked the usher at T-Mobile Center ten days ago has been charged on two counts of assault but his real punishment may be coming from his school.
   The Chiefs have the top cornerback in the league through four games and it's not Trent McDuffie.  Sporting KC makes a big, bold hire to run soccer operations.  Tom Watson has some very strong opinions about the fans at the Ryder Cup while Paul Azinger has strong words for Rory McIlroy.
   And our Final Final is a new bridge that is the highest and longest in the world.

   I had to wait a couple days to actually make sure the story of the Superintendent of the Des Moines School District is true.  It's so outrageously unbelievable that ICE picked him up and arrested him that it can only be the beginning of many, many more white collar scammers in our country getting caught.
   President Trump scores another big settlement against a media giant and is creating quite a large bankroll for his presidential library.   It comes on the heels of a possible government shutdown for "non essential" agencies and employees at midnight tonight.  Count me in. I voted for ending non-essential.
   The NFL appears to have an "effort" problem from several players this past weekend and its something they've never had to deal with.  They'd better get their arms around this fast or they would be risking the core reason people love the league.
   The Chiefs defense continues to get zero credit as they reached another milestone streak on Sunday, the baseball playoffs start with a couple epic wild card series and our Final Final is a celebrity couple on the rocks.
   

   Patrick Mahomes was as great as he ever was Sunday as Xavier Worthy returned to action.  The Chiefs never looked better.  Now, the Ravens defense may give the Cowboys a run for worst in the NFL but that doesn't matter right now.  The Chiefs have erased their 0-2 start with a pair of season saving wins and may have just flipped the bird to the world that had them dead and buried.
   Lamar Jackson turned it over twice and wound up on the bench with a hammy strain, I'd say the defense did its job brilliantly.  Meanwhile, the Chargers lose and KC is now only one back in the division.
   We recap a wild college football Saturday that saw Kansas State completely change its offensive scheme in an easy win over UCF.  KU is so easy to watch and Jalon Daniels was brilliant but Cincinnati took advantage of a KU defense that's acting like it wants to be the worst in the Big 12.  Beau Pribula sets a record in Columbia for the Tigers in a win over UMASS.
   The Ryder Cup turned into a crap show this weekend, boy do I have some grievances. Chase Elliott wins a double overtime thriller at Kansas Speedway and I"m here to save you some money today if you'd like a cup of coffee.

   It's a jam packed Friday episode as former FBI Director James Comey will reportedly surrender to authorities for an indictment on two charges including perjury in Congress.  
   President Trump will attend the Ryder Cup on Long Island in New York which is one of the wildest sporting events in history.  Wait until you hear what Irishman Rory McIlroy has to say about the United States of America.
  Then, we lock in on football as the Chiefs prep for the Ravens.  The stars of the singing show "The Voice" chime in chorus about their favorite team and Stan Weber joins us for all things football this week.
  Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has our point spread picks after going 5-0 on KKHI last week.  And our Final Final is a short personal note about what our Sunday afternoon will be like.

   Let's shift from all the bad in the world to a couple really great stories about two individuals that are the best among us.
   Then, a Wichita developer has made a huge purchase that could be related to the Royals, we'll tell you where.
  A gay website called "Queerty" has decided to attack Harrison Butker in the weakest of ways.  The Chiefs are clearly over scrutinized as a global website is quoting a lip reader about what Andy shouted at Travis Kelce Sunday night.  You have to hear this.
   The NFL is busting out record ratings after blasting Nielson Company for being inaccurate.  Tom Brady says something really, really stupid.
   Mizzou has the leading Heisman candidate 1/3 of the way into the season. This is the best regular season sports weekend of the year and a very mean squirrel is attacking people out on walks.
