Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Well, it only took me ten months to do something as boneheaded as doing a podcast where I toss to a segment of the Chris Stigall Show and you didn't hear it.  It's my fault 100 percent, I goofed.  I know how I goofed and I will probably do it again at some point.
   Thanks to the 100 or so of you that pointed out to me that I have issues. 
   Here's some fun and of course, the missing piece from College Athletics at the Crossroads.

   Who doesn't love former Mizzou pitcher Max Scherzer?  He's gifted, smart, fiery and will grind until the job is done.  Scherzer has decided to grind on MLB commish Rob Manfred, umpires and even Phillies manager Joe Girardi.  Scherzer dropped his glove and hat and unbuckled his pants mocking the new substance checking system on Tuesday night and it was EPIC!
   Royals pitches got checked too, and while it's too early, some stud pitchers have struggled already knowing they will get checked.  Gerrit Cole of the Yankees walked a bunch of Royals as KC scored 6 and beat the Yankees.  It's going to be interesting to see if getting rid of a substance called Spider Tack creates more offense.
  In Virginia, a school board meeting is chaotic as parents are fighting back against crazy liberal board members.  This meeting featured arrests, a suspended teacher and left over 200 parents that signed up to be heard being silenced.  Public Schools are ground zero in the fight to keep America great.

   When the Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA in its latest case, the media rallied and declared amateurism dead.   Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.  I just know that I love college athletics and I'm scared to death where it's headed.  
   As the College Football Playoff Board of Managers has taken the next step toward a 12 team playoff, it begs the question if they are about to create another pro football league.
   We discuss the pros and cons of all this and we have a piece of an interview I did with Chris Stigall on KCMO Talk Radio 710

   We're dropping names on KKHI.  Four people in sports you know, in the news for four different reasons.  We have a lawbreaker, a Jerry Springer sage, a retirement and a broken record.  Find out who they are are.
   The WHO now says there's not enough evidence that minors should take the Covid vaccine.  Well, the Dems aren't going to like hearing this.  Seems the WHO now believes Covid is no real risk to minors.  Who knew?
   Dems are breaking all over the place with the whacky wing of their party.  The latest is Kyrsten Sinema, a Senator from Arizona.  She says the filibuster must stay to avoid repeated radical reversals.  And apparently thee are more Dems than you can count now that privately agree with her.
  And two more incredible hero cop stories.  One in Florida that's caught on video as police work with firefighters on a bridge over a busy interstate.  The other is a KKHI listener sharing his family's story of being victims of a violent robbery and how the police solved the case.

   If you want to know why the Olympics are not as popular as they once were, well, the globalists have taken over.  It played out right before our eyes during qualifying this week as two women made their teams.  The first is an American swimmer, the second is a weightlifter from New Zealand.  These two absolutely represent the best and the worst of the games.
   Adelberto Mondesi's play is off the charts, his availability is based on his medical chart.  Here we go again?  Who knows?  But when he plays, this guy is spectacular.
    Jon Rahm wins the US Open on Father's Day with a pair of dramatic birdie putts on the final two holes.  It's the stuff legends are made of.
   NFL players are coming out right and left blasting their union for agreeing to a bunch of silly covid rules, surely the NFL won't really enforce this stuff.
   And Thomas Massie, a congressman from Kentucky, sums up the vaccine hysteria at a fire Fauci news conference.  Massie can't be dismissed as some whacko as he has a Masters of Science degree from MIT.

   With the Royals in a complete free fall, let's talk about what the Chiefs have accomplished this off season and what we should look forward to as training camp opens in just 6 weeks.
    Stan Weber is here to talk about all things Chiefs, the new 17 game schedule in the NFL and College Football's soon to be 12 team playoffs.
   So much football... so much time... as we are feasting in June.

   Charles Barkley appears on a DC radio show and threatens to leave TNT because of cancel culture and his "jackass" bosses.  This could be a ploy to get more money, but Sir Charles makes some points every fair minded American should hear.
   The NFLPA has agreed to some insane rules for players that don't get the vaccine and the players are pissed.  You should hear some of the things non-vax players have to do.
   So you cut cable and don't get the Royals games on Bally Sports... would you pay $23 per month to get the games through streaming?  We go over the details of what's next for Royals fans.
   The Fed says inflation is going to be 3.4% this year which begs the question, what in the hell has gone up only  3.4% this year?  
   And Putin beats Biden 42-10 as a 17.5 point favorite at a neutral site.  This one was over before it started.

   This is clearly something we wish we didn't have to talk about, kind of like things that go on in your family.  You see them from the inside and deal with them, but when an outsider steps in and says something, it changes they way you think.  Vladimir Putin has basically said the killing of Ashli Babbit on January 6 and the continued jailing of trespassers for political reasons is worse than anything he's doing in Russia.  It really hurts coming from him.
   The Royals are reeling but they aren't as bad as one National League team that has now lost an astounding 21 straight road games.
   And Vegas just won't lower the odds on Phil Mickelson to win the US Open as they taunt bettors to just keep laying money on him at 50-1.  A win by Phil this week would be the biggest loss in Vegas history.

    The NFL has this one coming as a hero cop is suing for defamation after the NFL honored a criminal victim last year in a media campaign.  This black officer is a hero for his actions at his job and his actions filing this suit as a citizen.  The criminal he killed in a shootout was a dangerous threat to society and the NFL had no idea.
   If you worked in retail, would you take $4 more per hour to wear a mask?  One retailer in Kansas City is paying that much more to keep up the charade, we'll tell you who it is.
   Chiefs mini camp opens and the whole team is expected to attend.  If not, the fines are huge.  We'll take a look at one particular position group the Chiefs need to shore up before the opening in September.
   And a Monday morning qualifier for a PGA event in Wichita includes police responding and arresting a golfer for assaulting a golfer in his playing group.  You have to hear this story.

   Forget policy for now, Joe Biden looks terrible on the world stage as America's president.  Yes, he's my president and yes, I'm embarrassed.  Boris Johnson has to correct him, he snaps at reporters from other countries and at times he just looks absent.  And he's so comfortable playing second fiddle to others.  Bad look.
   A soccer player collapses in Italy and the reaction is that it's because he took the vaccine.  He hadn't taken the vaccine but it begs the question, why is the rest of the world so skeptical while we are not?
   Former Chiefs runningback LeVeon Bell bashes Andy Reid of the weekend.  Bell's had plenty of other run ins before but it does bring up a sore spot that Bell was active for the Super Bowl and didn't carry the ball once.  That game as a mess for a lot of reasons.
   Travis Kelce is a great example of getting better every day and we aren't talking football.  Kelce came to KC immature and was a little risky.  Turns out he does as much good off the field as anyone in the game.  You'll like hearing what he did in his hometown of Cleveland this weekend.
