Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   One huge play from Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill lit Arrowhead on fire in the fourth quarter and in the process... ramped up a KC defense that had been bad all day.
   It looked bleak most of the day, but with Arrowhead rocking, the Browns bumbled their way to three second half turnovers and the Chiefs win it 33-29.

   Our full interview with Kevin Harlan on the NFL season, the future of tv sports and more is up for Patrons Only. On this episode, we play a clip of Kevin's thoughts on the Chiefs and Browns Sunday.
   Also, Spencer Kietzman is back with his weekend previews and his friend Riley Gates from 24/7 Sports joins him to talk KU, K-State, Mizzou, the NFL and Big 12 Expansion.

  The opening night in the NFL almost makes you feel sorry for other sports as the Bucs/Cowboys game was just a thrill a minute.  Even though Tampa Bay seemingly will continue to get all the calls, this sport is so much fun and so American it's not surprising the left loves to attack it.
   The Chiefs and Browns should be just as much fun and if that's true, how can the computer say the Chiefs have a nearly 70 percent chance of winning?  Well, there's a couple crazy September stats for both teams that probably has the computer on overdrive.  We'll tell you what they are.
   The second weekend of college football starts with a big mistake for KU and the Big 12.  Unless something shocking happens Friday night, the Jayhawks at Coastal Carolina on national tv is just bad business.
   And you think the Biden vax mandates are all about businesses?  Think again.  These crazy people want you to cough up your health records to get into football games, too.  The start of the season is just freaking out all the fear peddlers and they won't stand by idly like you're an illegal, a refugee or a postal worker.  No, football fans are largely conservative and YOU WILL COMPLY!

   I also share my thoughts on what Sunday looks and feels like at Arrowhead and more on the matchup.

   It has always looked easy to be a fan of the best team with the best player.  So why do I have such a hard time believing it's just going to be easy for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs?  He's undefeated in September, undefeated against Cleveland and I'm afraid of this game.  We'll break it down for you.
   The Royals had an epic fail in the 8th inning against the Orioles blowing a 5-0 lead.  By my count, the Royals, defensively, had 6 players out of position when they gave the Orioles 5 outs in one inning.  What the hell is going on?
   The Big 12 is about to add BYU, Houston, Cincinnati and UCF to the league.  Now it's time to relocate the headquarters from Dallas to Overland Park. 
   Reporter Alex Berenson is suing Twitter after they removed a post that turns out to be correct.  Berenson is America's actual authority on Covid-19 and when he tweeted the vax doesn't stop infection or transmission, he was correct.  Now the CDC has changed it's definition of a vaccine and agrees with Berenson.
  Also, Larry Elder gets egged and it's apparently not racist, Kellyann Conway rips the president in a letter and Biden plummets to 39% approval. 

   Just like so many things in life, we are learning to accept Covid and are moving on.  Of course, some industries are relying on millions of people to stay hooked on fear and they are losing.  Americans, by their actions, are clearly saying they are done with Covid.
   It's so great being a Chiefs fan these days as there is never, ever any quarterback drama.  But it's a normal part of the game for most teams that don't have a really good starter.  But one team has a top quarterback and they are fumbling their way through the drama of one of the strangest situations ever.
   Former Jayhawk Paul Pierce is headed into the Hall of Fame this week and has done an interviewing in advance of the big night, blasting his former employer ESPN.  While Pierce is no role model, he gets really high marks here for speaking his mind and telling the truth.  You'll love this.
  Some listeners think I'm slighting Mizzou by suggesting their schedule could lead to a 6-0 start.  So I'm going to try to re-state it more clearly and see if you don't agree.
   Also, props to Erin Andrews...  a Yankees announcer gets rescued from flood waters... and www.redwhiteandbluma.org is coming up September 25 and you may want to be a part of it.

   It was an epic four day weekend of college football fun as KU, KSU and MU all win.  The Cats were the big surprise with their new look defense totally shutting down Stanford but there are plenty of other story lines.  Clemson lost and one coach actually lost his job after one game.  We've got it all.
   The Chiefs got Monday off because they have a great kicker.  This is the kind of story that makes you love your team even more.
   The student body president at KU tweets out, "death to America" and is seemingly going to get away with it.  
   As crowds gather at games and concerts, organic anti Joe Biden chants are breaking out all over the country.  Americans are very, very upset right now.

      Kevin Harlan hates parking garages.  Confused?  Don't be.  We have a clip from our NFL Preview episode for patrons at www.kkhasissues.com that will have you rolling on the floor.  You're going to love this and agree with him.
   And our conversation is with a Kansas City financial planner that switched from investing for others to teaching others how to find their path to financial well being.  We're talking soldiers and NFL players and introduce you to longtime listener and all around good guy, Doug Spencer. 

      The Big 12 looks like it's together and looks like it has a good plan to add four schools.  But you can still see the cracks if you look close enough.  This crack is more like a fault line.  How in the world is Dr. Doug Girod one of two chancellors on the expansion committee when he's presided over the disaster that is KU Athletics?
   There's personal problems, there's technical problems, there's even drinking problems.  But the Royals have a "division" problem as they just lost their 11th straight game to the Indians.  More than anything else they have wrong with them, this has to change fast.
   Abortion has saved Joe Biden's political life.  After being on the ropes with Afghanistan, liberals have found a reason to pull together behind their president again as the state of Texas has saved Biden for now.
  And the KC Star says global warming has caused a hot, wet summer in KC.  Forget that our high temperature was 98 degrees and we got exactly 1 more inch of rain than normal.  These people must be bored.
