Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   When Tyreek Hill took his pads off and received treatment on a sore knee, it was no reason to panic.  It looks like it's going to be ok.  But it is a very, very early reminder to all of us how difficult it is to reach three consecutive Super Bowls.  This season is no given.
   In a very strange business deal with the state of Kansas, Cerner is leaving it's campus by the speedway.  And it could leave, believe it or not, Sporting KC on the hook for $15 million in paybacks.
   A newcomer to politics ran as a tough on crime, fiscally sound Republican in the Overland Park Mayor's primary race that is supposed to be non partisan.  He put elephants on his signs.  He blew away the field.  Lesson learned... I'll tell you who this bold conservative is that's now the frontrunner to be mayor.
  And with the Covid-19 mortality rate at an all time low, a Stanford doctor has declared the covid emergency is over.  That sounds like science... nobody's dying anymore and we have record lows.  Why is the news coverage so different?

   President Biden has called for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign after an investigation reveals Cuomo is creepy, really creepy around women in the workplace.  But should hair sniffing, girl touching Joe really be our compass as to who is too creepy to keep their job?  The cannibals are out... and Cuomo is running for his political life.
   As a guest on the Chris Stigall Show on KCMO 710, I get just a little worked about about Mayor Q's lack of real leadership in KC, you want to hear this.
   And it's official.  I have a favorite gold medal winner in Tokyo and I didn't even see her win.  But I heard her right after she won and I couldn't be prouder to call her a fellow American!  We'll play her emotional reaction. 

   While it may just be a bunch of sore losers venting, it sure was fun to watch UT President Jay Hartzell just get skewered at a public hearing in Texas.  AD's , the commish and politicians took turns mocking the university and it's wildly underperforming football program.  There was also some real news we address.
   Royals GM Dayton Moore says he's considering his best player, Adelberto Mondesi, to be a bench player going forward as he builds next year's team.  I guess that means Bobby Witt Jr is the new starting shortstop unless Mondesi somehow is healthy and available.  This is really odd.
   Mayor Q takes another shot at KKHI on Monday and I'm not responding back.  He slept all night and was still hurt in the morning?  Pretty sure we tapped into something on a typical liberal politician that can't believe somebody would criticize his policies.
   And Children's Mercy is taking steps to respond to fake news reports that they are overrun with Covid kids.  We mentioned this first a couple weeks ago and local, liberal media still got the story wrong.  No surprise.

   After I sent a harmless tweet Sunday night questioning Mayor Quentin Lucas' mask policy, it clearly touched a nerve.  Q tweeted back using Jesus' name and called me a racist.  I guess this is how high brow Ivy League educated leaders are in 2021. I've got the whole story for you including other Dems joining in making fun of me for starting my own business.  These people need help.
   Former Chief Anthony Sherman is making strong, conservative, public comments about the NFL's woke Covid policy and liberals in the media can't believe it.  I mean, Sherman has really angered the KC Star and others, we have his comments.
   The Buffalo Bills are threatening to move, the U.S. Women's soccer team loses again and, thank goodness, Simone Biles is now well enough to work.  What a relief.
   

   It's a perfect day to start with something completely positive.  A listener has pulled his kids out of public schools and sent the to Christian schools and you won't believe how incredibly great their Covid rules are.  We have hope!
   It seems we know the reason Mayor Q has waited a week to implement his mandate... and you will laugh when you hear it.  This is the funniest thing you will hear today.
   Joe Biden sends 27 Cuban rafters back to Cuba while allowing over 1 million people to just walk across the southern border.  This should outrage every American as these Cubans are likely to be jailed, beaten or worse. 
   Simone Biles is a complete embarrassment.  She just keeps talking and apparently has the yips but has convinced the woke world she has a mental health crisis.  I'm going deep on this one because its so bad on so many levels.
   And the Pac 12 commissioner has called for a stop to the discussion about an expanded football playoff after the SEC raids the Big 12.  Other commissioners are speaking anonymously as the Big 12's Bob Bowlsby clearly has allies that think ESPN and the SEC are trying to execute a hostile takeover of college sports. 

   Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby just continues to hammer away on behalf of the remaining 8 schools in the Big 12.  After his cease and desist letter to ESPN, Bowlsby now says the AAC is trying to lure all 8.  This should embolden the schools as they ramp up the rhetoric that their 99 year agreement with OU and Texas is a legal juggernaut.
   Patrick Mahomes didn't take long at Chiefs camp to fire off a no-looker and make national news.  This one was an absolute beauty and stunned a pair of Chiefs defender, including the linebacker he totally faked out.
  Aaron Rodgers was a winner in a different way as he held the best news conference by any athlete in a long time.  We certain he won back a ton of Packers fans and it's clear he's a very smart man.
  And every dem everywhere is implementing a new mask mandate.  They're all different depending on where you live and they are getting major pushback.   Mayor Q and Governor Kelly's mandates are silly and just political.  While Joe Biden's for all federal employees has already received a response from postal workers who said they will not follow it.  Hysterical. 

   In a stunning development, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby has outlined for everyone just how ESPN orchestrated, along with OU and Texas, their departure from the Big 12.  And it's deeper than that. Bowlsby says he has irrefutable evidence ESPN is courting at least one other school and working with another conference to take 3-5 of the remaining eight.  
   There's about $1.2billion at stake over the next four years and it feels like this dirty and awkward crisis is just getting started. 
   Thursday, it's expected SEC Presidents will vote 14-0 for OU and Texas to join their league.

   If the face of the Olympics, Simone Biles, has a mental health issue and is being treated by doctors at the Olympics, she should fly home and seek immediate help.  Could somebody please make sure this doesn't end in a tragedy?  If that's not what's going on, she needs to shut up, suck it up and get out there and try her best.  There's no dishonor in no longer being the best.  But wishy-washy, sitting out and asking for sympathy at news conferences is a terrible look.  And yet everyone just praises her for it.  If you have a mental health crisis, please go home.
   We ask the question what if all of America lived like our spoiled Olympic athletes?  Kneeling, complaining, blaming their coach, whining about pressure... they are embarrassing those of us that grind and fight every day.
  And the mask monsters are back despite the numbers not justifying it.  Mayor Q and the likes can't wait to tell you what to do because they're so smart.  KC has a .001% covid positive rate as of the third week of July.  And we're still freaking out?

    This is NOT a drill.  Last time around, it seemed like KU and K-State would be ok in conference realignment.  This time, it's obvious they are both in trouble for different reasons.   Do the people running the state have what it takes to lead and help the state's flagship universities?  A former Governor doesn't think so.  Dr. Jeff Colyer believes current Governor Laura Kelly is asleep at the wheel and doesn't care because, "she's a New Yorker that never went to a Kansas school.'  Dr. Colyer is our conversation.
   Also, I've been doing radio shows all over the country on the topic and one show in St. Louis was particularly interesting.  Frank Cusumano is a man I've known for decades and as he pointed out on 590 the Fan, Mizzou sure is in great shape.  But what about those Kansas schools?  I've got it for you.

   College sports used to be all about the players and fans.  Now it's just a giant corporate machine run by an even bigger media corporation that's ruined everything from Mickey Mouse to Star Wars.  OU and Texas leaving the Big 12 and heading to the SEC isn't good for any fans anywhere.  And the powers that be, couldn't care less.
   The Royals are surging behind Jorge Soler, Aaron Rodgers is ready to suit up for the Packers and Simone Biles is hurt at the Olympics.
  Jim Sterk, surprisingly, is out as AD at Mizzou and the SM School district votes overwhelmingly to make 5 year olds wear masks.
