Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

    As we've watched the FBI, CIA and most of DC go woke and move left, it was hard to imagine our military brass would ever lose sight of America first.  But it has happened, if a new report is true.  Can you even imagine the highest ranking military official calling China behind the President's back?  We have a huge problem with Mark Milley.
   Liberal comedian and political host Bill Maher says liberals are embarrassing him as they are doing crazy things like segregating America in the name of control and power.  Maher says two national anthems before NFL games is nothing but a new iteration of segregation in 2021.
   Dayton Moore has been promoted to President of the Royals, we knew this was coming.  Frank Boal was on a patron's only podcast with me but I'll play a clip of what he thinks of the moves.
  The Saints have a bunch of covid cases but because they are all fully vaccinated they are calling this a cluster, not  a breakout.  The NBA won't require players to get the jab.  And NASCAR will open its season the week of the Super Bowl in a stunning new way.

   Seven weeks ago, Dayton Moore appeared on Kevin Kietzman Has Issues and we talked about him stepping away from his duties as General Manager and becoming team president.  While nobody else in the media wanted to discuss this, Dayton didn't shy away and told us he'd do whatever Chairman John Sherman wants.  
   Today is the day Moore moves to President and J.J. Picollo takes over as General Manager.  We also expect Dayton could oversee the move from Kauffman Stadium to a new downtown ballpark.  A completely different challenge.

   Peyton and Eli Manning, after a rough start, settled into something so raw and revealing, they may have just changed the way all analysts talk about pro football.  
   In the process, Travis Kelce was a guest and he was brutally honest.  Kelce says when the game is on the line, he just gives Mahomes a certain look in the eye that he's going to run around "to make some shit up."  This is the the most important thing about the Chiefs.
   KSU Coach Chris Klieman says his quarterback Skylar Thompson should play again this year but it will probably be awhile.
   A Navy assistant coach is fired for not taking a covid vaccine.  Joe Biden is booed at a rally as America is demonstrating by the thousands.
   And we've to a special song to play called, simply, "Joe".

   This episode is a football geek's dream.  Stan Weber joins me as we cover it all from the Chiefs thrilling win over the Browns, both good and bad.
   Two teams went thud on Sunday, most spectacularly Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.  But the Bills were awful, too as Josh Allen threw 21 incomplete passes.  We go around the league.
   Stan had the call for K-State's win over SIU Saturday night and we're learning more about the injury to quarterback Skylar Thompson.  
   Mizzou's defense couldn't stop the run against Kentucky as they played hard and just kept fighting back.  But this part of the Tigers game has to get better.
   We even have time for Arkansas' epic beatdown of Texas, Ohio State taking a home loss to Oregon and the terrific Iowa defense frustrating Iowa State.  

   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!

   Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has a first ever, 50 unit selection in week one of the NFL and handicaps a slew of games for us including the Chiefs-Browns, Tigers-Wildcats and Cyclones-Hawkeyes.
   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.
