Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Chris Stigall has been a national figure in conservative talk radio for years and knows a lot of players in DC.  In this KKHI Conversation, Chris says he thinks Joe Biden works part time because he has very little to do.  We also talk about how media coverage has changed in just four months and how Chris once hosted the Mayor's Christmas Tree lighting.
    The PGA championship starts this week and Danny Clinkscale shares what he thinks will take to win it.  And as we talk about the best player in the world, Justin Thomas, we ask why he didn't get cancelled for his offensive slur on live tv.  And why a Kansas City high school coach did. 

   The Royals have decided masks are optional at Kauffman Stadium, this is a good step.  A local columnist on the left now says it could have been done earlier and we can make our own choices.  We agree, but that would have been a lot smarter and more insightful months ago during football season.
   KU lands a big time hoops transfer... if he doesn't go pro.  Now the question is, could he make more at KU than going pro?  There's a quarterback in the Big 12 projected to make $700,000 in endorsements this year.
   Joe Biden called for Israel to stop defending itself then went golfing and hit a ball backwards. He didn't know where it went... what a metaphor for what's going on with his presidency.
   A CNN anchor pulls a childish stunt at the same time the company is changing ownership.  Makes us wonder if changes are coming with how CNN does business.
   And Melinda Gates wants a pile of money out of Bill Gates in their divorce... for her kids.  Bill has famously said they will only inherit $10million each and that won't fly with her.  This is classic.

   Its the first real criticism of Royals manager Mike Matheny after the Royals blow a chance to take 3 of 4 from the White Sox.  It was bad enough he trotted washed up Wade Davis out to save the game, but what he said after the game should have you concerned.
   The Chiefs get the on field part of 2021 started with Rookie camp and it went well for players like former Mizzou linebacker Nick Bolton.  But it went very poorly for one rookie in Atlanta at Falcons camp who was the victim of a really, really mean hoax.  You gotta hear this.
    A Cincinnati Reds player is the talk of every other player in the game after hitting a home run and then embarrassing Commissioner Rob Manfred during the post game interview.  This is classic.
   And Joe Biden is sitting on the fence with chaos in the Middle East.  His Secretary of State is saying, on foreign soil, that the U.S. wants proof Israel's retaliation is justified.  Uh oh. 

   Spencer Kietzman has issues with the new "Vax or Mask" announcement.  The NCAA shanks it off the tee by ending the college careers of some scholarship golfers who were stunned when their event was cancelled.  And the Royals have made a little rebound in Chicago.

   The "Mask-uerade" is over.  The CDC says we don't have to do this with a vaccine available.  No kidding... what in the world took so long?
   A private company with 36,000 is offering free college to all of them  and dependents.  And they are hiring and you don't even need a high school degree to work there.  So much for excuses in America that you can't get ahead.  The private sector is leading the way again.
   Hunter Dozier has become the poster boy for the Royals 11 game losing streak.  Dozier is 0-31 and everyone is all over him.  Remember when this happened to Alex Gordon and people said it's because of moving him around on defense?  
   And there's a sex scandal at Ohio State with the football team.  No surprise there.  But the NCAA says it's ok the players were paying for sex because the money didn't come from boosters or agents.  It came from the stipend Ohio State pays them, so it's all good.

   It's good to know somebody that makes every day count.
   Former Royals pitcher Jaime Bluma soared from high school baseball in Oklahoma to record setting closer during Wichita State baseball's glory days.  Two years later, just as he was settling into the Royals bullpen, a shoulder injury changed everything.
   Never a man to slow down, Bluma turned to working with kids and raising money for military charities.  His foundation, www.redwhiteandbluma.org is planning its next big event and you can join the cause.
   This conversation is with a really interesting man that got injured helping a child on the side of the road that was in a car wreck and went all the way to Alaska to be a pitching coach. 

   I loved when the NFL schedule came out long before it was cool.  But I'm not sure I've ever seen a Chiefs schedule like this.  The opener is Sept 12 at Arrowhead against the Browns and the playoff teams just keep coming.  The home schedule is incredible and if you want to travel, there's Vegas and Nashville.
   The Royals took a turn for the worse and made it 9 in a row, this is turning into a nightmare.
   Sporting KC is opening full capacity later this month and that news comes out the same day the NY Times blasts the CDC for basically lying to all of us.  Yes, the NY Times.  Let's all get outdoors, it's always been safe.
   Tony Fauci took questions from doctors Rand Paul and Roger Marshall on capitol hill and we've got a theory about where this is going.
   And does the Biden administration care about anything that matters or just the fluff that divides us?   We have a gas crisis, inflation, and bombs flying in the middle east.  Is Jimmy Carter back?

   The firing of Olathe North baseball coach Pete Flood was predictable after the media misreported that he called a player a racial slur.  All sides are in agreement now that the coach used the N-word about some disgusting music players were playing.  What's at issue here is exactly how he used the word.  Didn't matter, he's fired.
   With gas prices soaring and some stations out of gas, is Joe Biden the next Jimmy Carter?  If he is, we are on the verge of a conservative wave in America like we haven't seen since the '80's.
   There's one thing the Royals were good at earlier this year that led to a bunch of wins that they have been really bad at the past week.  It's the biggest chance for the this team to fix the losing.
   The Denver Broncos are making noise that they really, really want quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a trade with the Packers and the latest details have us slightly worried.
   A popular Saints player is putting up money to help New Orleans police, this is progress.  And a popular personality is leaving ESPN.

   It was a special day for my mom at Kauffman Stadium, even though the Royals lost again.  This was sort of our own personal finish line with Covid and it felt that way.  
   A week after Medina Spirit wins the Kentucky Derby there is controversy.  Big controversy as it's not possible this is the first horse disqualified from winning since 1968.
   The Los Angeles Times is losing money so its billionaire owner wants... you guessed it... government help to keep peddling liberalism.
  The NFL schedule comes out this week so maybe we can all make some travel plans to see a road game.  And Patrick Mahomes wins a worldwide sports award. 

   The Royals are in a free fall.  What's worse, this looks very, very real.  We take a look at what the Royals can do to turn it around.  Maybe.
   With a pair of letters to the Star and the racist "Shawnee Indian Mission" School District, KKHI has gone full blown liberal activist.  Will they respond?  And you get to decide if I'd make a good liberal.
   Why in the world do the Dems care about an audit of November's election in the state of Arizona?  They said it was all legit and there's nothing to see.  But judge after judge have said the audit can continue and now there are reports Joe Biden in sending in his Department of Justice.
   Also, a CNN anchor sees his ratings go up while he's on vacation and one easily identifiable physical trait could make you twice as likely to have a real problem with Covid.
