Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   About a week ago, I heard somebody say that President Trump is doing such a great job that, "we don't deserve Trump."   I immediately understood what the man meant and agreed with him.  Until I didn't.  We absolutely deserve this and have absolutely earned it and it really came into focus watching all those families welcoming home family members that were hostages.  Incredible.
   As the world celebrates the peace deal, Liz Warren tried, somehow, to take some credit for the deal.  That led to JD Vance just dropping a whopper on her via social media.  Hysterical.
   We have a new front runner for most cringe worth Dem politician video, this one is really, really bad.
   The Browns and Bears release information about their brand new stadiums they are building and you won't believe how much better the Chiefs offer is than these.
   Rashee Rice is back on the practice field this week, the Bills lose again, the Lions punch thrower is suspended and more in our NFL roundup.
   Lance Leipold says it's not tortilla throwing that got his ire Saturday night in Lubbock, it was a knife that was thrown.
   We had an insane double play in the NLCS game Monday night, KU hoops gets a surprise as the AP poll is released and Nebraska's coach does anything but calm his fan base about a possible job opening.
   Our Final Final is the Baldwin brothers out for a drive in their Range Rover in the Hamptons when a tree gets in the way.  Hilarious.

   The Football Feast is filled with story lines as the Chiefs, quite possibly, are playing better than any team in the NFL.  I'll give you my thoughts on how they've turned this offense around and the Stan Weber will join me to discuss where it's going the rest of the season.
   Also, the Missouri Tigers certainly had plenty of chances Saturday against Alabama but come up short.  It's a loss to Alabama, so everything is still possible for Mizzou.   K-State pounds TCU in a game that looked a lot more like a Chris Klieman kind of performance.  And KU's defense gets abused by a really, really good looking Texas Tech squad.
   And our Final Final is one of the most touching football and family moments anywhere.

   I'm not on the train with folks saying Sunday night is a must win for the Chiefs, I've seen them win way too many games in a row to believe that.  But I think the team may approach it like a playoff game and that could be real trouble for the Lions.
   You can't ask for a better setup for the Missouri Tigers to host Alabama.  This is the perfect storm and you should change your schedule and block off three hours or so Saturday at 11:00 and watch this one no matter who you root for.
   The Phillies season ends in shocking fashion.  Super college basketball fan "Sister Jean" dies at 106, we'll remember her grace and charm rooting her team to the Final Four in 2018.
   Me and Jessica spent a couple hours visiting some old buildings downtown Thursday that gave us chills hearing the history of it all and seeing what the new owners are doing to turn a couple city blocks into an entertainment area.
  Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has our football picks for the weekend and our Final Final is a fast food chain stepping outside their lane.

   The Nobel Peace Prize has a choice to make.  Give their once prestigious award to Donald Trump or go out of business as he just brokered a deal for peace in Gaza.  Their are celebrations all over the world.
   Trump got news he was needed to finalize the agreement when Marco Rubio interrupted a forum the prez was holding at the White House with reporters that have been injured by ANTIFA members.  One reporter told the story of how being abused by ANTIFA flipped her from a person with Trump Derangement Syndrome to full on MAGA.
   Climate change had nothing to do with the wild fires in LA last January and it wasn't an accident.  The feds have filed charges against a Dem supporting donor that fantasized about burning a city down for years.
   The IRS is about to get cut in half because of the shutdown.  Great!   Masks are back in a rich, blue part of California.
   Andy Reid says it's a week to go back to the basics.  Patrick Mahomes is suddenly among the best passing downfield.  Eli Drinkwitz crashes a call with Alabama's coach.  The Yankees season is over and the NCAA will allow athletes to bet on pro sports.  Then, it was the right "Time" for a singer to make a big announcement.

   It was Ladies Day Tuesday in the Trump administration as Pam Bondi was the most prepared witness ever in front of the Senate and Kristi Noem takes on criminals and officials in Oregon.
   The mayor of Chicago has declared he's developing ICE free zones so it begs the question... can I run for mayor and develop IRS free zones?
   We have multiple stories of media racing to the bottom as Nicole Wallace is on the hot seat and NBC News contradicts its own reporting.
   The Chiefs have the highest paid kicker in the league and he's struggling more than anyone else on the team.  This has to change fast.
   Mizzou has a 15 game home winning streak on the line Saturday as they host Alabama.  But they also have a steak of 5 SEC losses to the Tide.  Something's got to give.
   The MLB playoffs serve up some real drama and a man in Canada gets the strangest DUI ever.

   You may not like my take on the Chiefs super disappointing loss to Jacksonville Monday night but I actually feel better about this team than I have all year.  Yes, there were a few plays in this one that you just can't have... ever.  But, for the first time in a couple years I feel great about the offense and expect it to get better.  Hang in there, this is going to be a bumpy road but nobody is running away with the AFC West.
   Chiefs President Mark Donovan shares plans for a what a renovated Arrowhead would look like and you won't believe how little $800 million gets you today.
   Trump and his admin are cracking down on all these thugs spitting on feds and firing bricks at buildings.  Let's move this up through the court system and get the full on green light please.
   A once popular country singer apparently doesn't like selling music or tickets as he's decided to release a song blasting ICE and the United States.  Oh, my.
   Mizzou and a couple of other former Big 12 teams are undefeated in the SEC and this week's game against Bama feels like the biggest moment in a long, long time for the Tigers.  
   And remember the Phillies fan and his son that crazy Karen ran up to for a baseball home run ball?  Remember he gave it to her?  Well, he got something a lot better this weekend.

   The rest of the league is allowing the Chiefs to get right back into the thick of things now that every team has at least one loss.  Will the Chiefs kick the door down or was the performance against the Ravens not that impressive?
   Stan Weber is here to talk about what KC needs to do in order to top a much improved 3-1 Jaguars team on Monday Night Football.

   
We have a little bit of everything today as we head into a college football weekend.  Mizzou is off and so are the Chiefs... sort of.   KC is at Jacksonville Monday night but we still have a couple games that really matter.  KU and KSU are on the road with must wins if they want to be part of a Big 12 Conference race.  www.dannyclinkscale.com is here to talk college, Chiefs and even a bit of golf and baseball.
   Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your point spread picks.  And, we have a chat with Missouri Congressman Mark Alford about the growing political violence from the left.

   A listener turned me on to a little known podcast for men dealing with addiction.  It's as much therapy for the guest and listeners as it is anything else and the latest conversation is with former Chiefs coach Britt Reid who is out of prison and building a new life.  I was skeptical at first, thinking Britt would not come clean and try to create an appearance that all is well.
   Instead, he tells all on "That Sober Guy" podcast.  You're about to hear him say things about his life of guns, drugs, addiction  and prison.  He chronicles living at his dad's house, working for his dad as a coach and using and abusing for decades.  Contrary to news reports, Andy Reid knew everything and warned his sons they are in a family filled with addicts.  This is gut wrenching and it explains a lot about why the Chiefs have been so secretive.  Not anymore.  Britt smoked pot and got drunk at Arrowhead and nearly killed a little girl.  He thought his worst days were behind him as it was only marijuana and booze and not heroine and cocaine and opioids.  This is the story of a family dealing with addiction and tragedy all while living a high profile life at the top of the NFL.  There is no other football story like this and Britt shares it all.
  Then we lighten things up with some football fun for Mizzou fans as Jon Gruden is on the band wagon and the great Stephen Miller says Memphis is about to be liberated.

   I can think of a thousand things that if they were shutdown today I would notice.  The federal government isn't one of them.   So here we go, will this be another shutdown about nothing that we all forget about or will President Trump make this a shutdown to remember?
   Frank White is out as Jackson County Executive... wait until you hear how badly he got smoked at the polls.  Now, who's next and what does it mean for the Royals and Chiefs.  At the same time, a lawsuit in Missouri is likely headed to the state's Supreme Court to keep the Royals and Chiefs from using tax revenue to build.
   Kansas schools are becoming the embarrassment of the land as a young, portly principal with blue hair at an Olathe grade school takes a liberal stand.  And a sex ed teacher in Derby is arrested for child endangerment.  Why is this happening in Kansas so often and not Missouri?
   The teenager that attacked the usher at T-Mobile Center ten days ago has been charged on two counts of assault but his real punishment may be coming from his school.
   The Chiefs have the top cornerback in the league through four games and it's not Trent McDuffie.  Sporting KC makes a big, bold hire to run soccer operations.  Tom Watson has some very strong opinions about the fans at the Ryder Cup while Paul Azinger has strong words for Rory McIlroy.
   And our Final Final is a new bridge that is the highest and longest in the world.
