Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Royals spoke loud and clear at the trade deadline that they will not sit still.  The Royals have added outfield help for this year and pitching for now and the next couple years.  In the process, we wave goodbye to Freddie Fermin who is very close to Salvador Perez.  That's why, right after Fermin, Salvy was the first to know about the trade.
   Harrison Butker spoke at a news event with President Trump at the White House and is perfect for his new presidential role.
   The tariff deadline passed as Trump worked out a couple last minute deals.  China has two more weeks, Mexico gets a 90 day agreement as we work to finalize all the details and Canada get hammered with 35% and really harsh words from Trump.  
   Kamala Harris has no answers on late night tv, Liz Warren falls on the Senate floor and our Song of the Week is a mulligan.

   We had a wild day in our neighborhood yesterday as Homeland Security, NOT ICE, raided a Mexican restaurant a couple blocks away from us.  Protesters showed up and it was a total freak show.  What's worse?  The KC media botched this story on so many levels its frightening.  It was not an ICE raid, the restaurant was not in danger of burning to the ground and there was not panic or disorder.  I was there.  I have the truth for you.
   Barack Obama must be shocked he was wrong when he said the days of 3% GDP increases are gone in America and the new standard is 1%.  Remember that gem?
   Dunkin has an ad out with a sexy male actor just days after the Sydney Sweeney jeans commercial talking about her genes.  This dude says his genes help him have a golden summer with his genetic ability to tan.  Oh boy, here we go again.
   The Royals get their best win of the year, 1-0 in  10 innings and now face the trade deadline at 5:00pm.  Brian Schottenheimer made players, and so coaches, run wind sprints at practice on Wednesday.  KU has a very easy Big 12 schedule this football season and a pair of famous liberals are hooking up in Canada.

   It's becoming a trend for Missouri Senator Josh Hawley to offer up ideas that sound just like a democrat.  His latest is poorly timed and needs to be tossed to the back burner.
   ICE is looking for 10,000 new agents and employees and they are offering a $50k signing bonus to join. Count me in on this program... let's get the best of the best.

   Kelce and QB Patrick Mahomes got a chance to preview the steaks at their new 1587 Steakhouse in KC.  I have only one question.  What type of ketchup will Mahomes have on the menu to put on his steaks?
   The Royals are hanging in there despite a decimated starting pitching staff as they welcome a 37 year old former super star to the mound.  Former KU hoopster Marcus Morris is arrested for felony fraud at a Florida airport and our Final Final is a fish versus a Tesla.
 

   President Trump has signed an executive order banning third parties from paying college athletes to attend a school.  NIL is still in play beginning next year but paying just to select a school is supposedly out the window or your school risks losing federal funding.  Stan's back to discuss IF this will work and where college football is headed with expanding conferences and a power play between the SEC and the Big Ten.

   The Football Feast is back in a big way as all the teams around KC have reason to believe this year is about to be epic.  The Chiefs look to improve on a season that had them on the brink of history, Mizzou looks for another 10 win season with a new QB, K-State has the most accomplished player in is class at the helm and KU finally gets to play some home games with the coolest end zones in the Big 12.
   Stan Weber is here to explain how it could right for all and how it could go wrong.  Football is back Thursday night with the Chargers and Lions and KKHI is here for it!  Let's go!

   We learned Thursday that Bill Self was taken to the hospital again for another heart procedure making it at least three times in four years.  A full recovery is expected after two more stents were inserted.  But what we didn't know is that Self has been coaching with a PICC line... a catheter to deliver medicine and nutrition to his heart.  We have the details and the ask the big question about this legendary coach.
   In Columbia, Eli Drinkwitz gets a long contract extension but didn't take much of a raise.  Intstead, he got double the amount he can pay his assistants.  You have to love this guy.
  Trump is headed to Scotland for five days after touring the Federal Reserve HQ and Jerome Powell on Thursday.  We were surprised there weren't more fireworks.
   Chuck E. Cheese was hauled out of the famous pizza place in Florida and arrested by police.... right in front of all the kids.  
   And we remember the great Hulk Hogan and tie it in to the Song of the Week.

   The reaction from the same media that promoted Trump/Russia collusion for years is now suddenly saying there's nothing to see there and we shouldn't even be talking about it.  Incredible... but predictable.
   Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is escorted off stage after terrorist supporting pro-Palestine protesters interrupt his speech.  If these people aren't citizens, they should be sent to Alligator Alcatraz immediately.
   Ravens coach John Harbaugh flat out shrinks a reporter giving him a hard time for visiting Trump at the White House.  The Royals take two of three from the Cubs as Salvy makes more history.  Now a huge series with Cleveland looms.  
   NFL financials are revealed by the Green Bay Packers and let's just say business is good.  And NASCAR makes a huge announcement about joining forces with the Navy.
 

   After the Kansas Board of Regents ordered all DEI eliminated from state universities there was still a question if KU would try to resist the directive.  But on Tuesday, KU Chancellor Doug Girod issued a memo to all employees emphatically directing them to dump pronouns and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff by July 31.  What a great day for KU!
   Tariff deals are in place now with the Philippines and Japan.  The deal with Japan is massive and unprecedented and the Philippines deal is gloriously lopsided in the favor of USA.  
   Trump unloaded on Barack Hussein Obama Tuesday indicating he's guilty of treason and every other word you can think of and they have Obama "stone cold."   Well, there's no backing off this now.

   Adam Sandler is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 beginning Friday on Netflix and had some really great comments about Travis Kelce in the movie.
   Salvy's two home runs Monday night have a really great side story as he took two boys out of the stands after the game and gave them bats.  They were boys he didn't know and this story is the stuff of legend.
   The two candidates running for Mayor of Overland Park both indicate the Royals at 119th and Nall is unwanted by their residents.  One candidate goes as far as to say over 95% of people in the area hate it.
  And our Final Final is the SMU football coach blasting the SEC.

   Javier Milei is the new president of Argentina and many are describing him as Trump on steroids.  He's made hundreds of big moves already, but his latest Article 209 could be the most influential.  Let's hope what's happening in Argentina will happen in America.
    Former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele unloads on her former employer for silencing her about women's issues as it pertains to men competing in women's sports.  You have to hear this clip about swimmer Lia Thomas, who has a penis and a new girlfriend.
   Local cops perform a 10 sting operation to catch retail thieves and it should be a model for every police force in America.
   Holy smokes Patrick Mahomes is finally saying what I've been saying... he's reverted to his lazy, sloppy ways of quarterbacking like he did at Texas Tech.  I'm shocked he's admitted this and it's a huge step to solving the problem.
   The Broncos bench Russell Wilson to save money and a major university refuses to give their head coach his bowl bonus AFTER he won his 5th straight bowl game.  Wow.
 

   What a week of football as we are sandwiched between an ugly Chiefs loss and a record setting KU Bowl Game win.  Stan Weber is here for all of it as we ask what KU can be next year, what the Chiefs can be in the playoffs and preview the bowl games for Kansas State and Mizzou.
   It's all in one place.  Then, we tell the amazing story of a $5 wager on football pocketing nearly $500k.  It's the Football Feast!
