Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Well, what do you know?  The Royals are on fire with a four game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, a team with far too many former Royals to be taken seriously.  But Royals pitchers give up only 5 runs in four games and that's insane.  This is fun.
   The owner's wife took to Facebook to just beat up on Jackson County, Missouri after the failed stadium vote.  Marny Sherman says the Royals and Chiefs are both DONE with Jackson County officials.  Uh oh.
   As the National Title game approaches, reports are that Kentucky's John Calipari is leaving to take the job at Arkansas after KSU coach Jerome Tang turned it down.  And you thought an eclipse was unusual.
   It's Masters Tournament week and I can't wait. A very unique player won on the PGA Tour Sunday to qualify for the Masters and becomes the first player ever to play in a kid's event at Augusta National and then qualify for the Masters.
   Donald Trump puts out a video on his abortion policy that dodges the whole issue, Joe Biden continues to crater with young voters and Morgan Wallen is arrested.
   Our Final Final is a tip of the hat to long time KC sports reporter Karen Kornacki as she's retiring after 45 years.
 

   Before Gary Lezak joins us with everything you need to know about Monday's solar eclipse, we dive into a few tasty issues including Mayor Q's proclamation that KCMO will be home to the Royals and Chiefs in 2040 and beyond.
   The Royals just crush the White Sox Thursday night behind more great starting pitching.
   Rashee Rice admits he was driving the Lamborghini in that crash last Saturday.  Dems stop registration drives according to a leaked memo.  Oregon is "re" criminalizing drugs as their previous policy turned into disaster.  The Boulevard Drive in opens for its 74th season. 
    And long time friend and meteorologist Gary Lezak joins us with everything you need to know about Monday's solar eclipse

   The Royals have a season crushing problem in their bullpen.  This team has starting pitching, superstars in the lineup and absolutely no ability to hold a lead.  Will Smith looks like a middle reliever, not a closer, and we don't care what the team promised him.  If you want to be taken seriously, sign former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer and convert him to closer.  Bauer has been completely exonerated of any crime and MLB says he can play.  What on earth are the Royals waiting on?  Is this because he's an outspoken Trump supporter? Or are the Royals just as bad at this as they are election campaigns.
   It only took a few hours for Kansas officials to pounce on the Chiefs to start negotiating with them on a new stadium, likely near the Legends in Wyandotte County.  Kansas has so much money and laws in place it's hard to see how the Chiefs will be able to say no.
   The UCONN Huskies are favored to win it all this week at the Final Four in Phoenix but they'll have to do it on less sleep.  The team's plane got stuck in KC and they didn't arrive until 6:15 am.
   Gas prices are soaring on Joe Biden even as he says he won't refill our strategic reserve, details emerge about the killing of a local celebrity and pigeons die hard.

   The stadium vote for the Royals to go downtown just got crushed by voters 58-42 and you not only respect the outcome, you have tip your cap they got it right.  The Royals plan was a mess, residents downtown didn't want it and residents in the suburbs are afraid to go to games downtown in liberal America's record crime wave.  This was a perfect storm anybody could see.
   The KC Star is freaking out that Lee's Summit has two new school board members after Tuesday's election that want to "get back to basics" in the school district and say goodbye to "diversity champ" board president.
   DEI is gone from the University of Texas and Axios has authored a piece that has their hair on fire that Trump could win and kick DEI programs out of the Federal Government.  Amen.
   Yellowstone actor Mo Brings Plenty, who lives near Paola, is asking for the public's help to find his missing nephew Cole Brings Plenty.
   The Royals starting pitching, one time through the rotation, is the best in baseball.  And Caitlin Clark delivers huge ratings for women's basketball.
   

   It's hard to tell who's in more trouble, Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice or Kansas City media.  Columnist Toriano Porter of the KC Star completely botches an opinion piece, sports guys ignore any crime and start trashing the NFL for likely wanting to suspend Rice and a podcaster's video on X, well, fans didn't want to hear it.  So here we are again with local media doing the Chiefs work for them in order to protect their access and press passes to Super Bowls.  Go figure. 
   RFK jr is climbing in polling and CNN allowed him in to the studio for a sit down interview Monday.  Oops, the host started in on that liberal talking point that Trump is the biggest threat to democracy and RFK took her apart like a surgeon.  We'll play it for you.
   I'm not sure I've seen a team with a pair of star players on fire and insanely good starting pitching go 1-3 to start the year but that's your Royals.  This bullpen will determine the whole season and right now it looks like late loss after late loss.
   The Chiefs may have quite a plan for backup qb Carson Wentz, Caitlin Clark scores 41 for Iowa, the golf merger has created a great new event and baseball's first no hitter is a really great story.

   If Rashee Rice was driving the car registered to him in that crash in Dallas Saturday evening, he's in big trouble.  But this is what the Chiefs are really good at.  Long before these Super Bowls, the Chiefs were better at keeping players out of jail and on the field than they were scoring touchdowns.  And this happened in the city the Hunt Family has been in power for generations.  Lucky kid. 
   Bobby Witt Jr is on fire but if you want to get excited about the Royals, look at their starting pitching.  Brady Singer dealt a show stopper on Sunday and this is the best thing possible for season long success in KC. 
   NC State is the cinderella of college basketball this year as coach Kevin Keats has gone from likely getting fired to getting a contract extension in the past three weeks.  We set the table for the Final Four.
   Denver has had enough of being a sanctuary city, Mizzou's Journalism School gives out a disgusting award and liberals and conservatives alike now agree the leftist Covid "experts" got it wrong and owe us an apology.

   There was no way a Royals loss was going to ruin the fun at the KKHI Patrons Party Thursday, we'll share a couple of the highlights from the event and the Royals game.  Cole Ragans was good and Andy Reid's first pitch was epic.  But the Royals really, really blew a chance with the group photo afterwards.
   The Sweet 16 is underway and we had a couple great finishes and one sweet surprise.
   Jackson County exec Frank White is already floating a great new idea for a stadium vote if this one fails on Tuesday... you have to hear this.
   Kansas AG Kris Kobach sues the Biden admin over student loan bailouts and has the greatest quote ever.
   Americans of all backgrounds are just fine with the term "illegal alien" in new polling, including a whopping number of Hispanics.
   The University of Wisconsin is being investigated by the Department of Education for discriminating against white people, a golfer sets a record and the NFL is have a Christmas Day auction of sorts.

   The Chiefs are on their way to winning the off season again as they win a scrum for rugby star Louis Rees Zammit from Europe.  This kid is an amazing athlete and reports indicate he's signing with KC this week to be a WR/RB and kick returner.  This is exactly why the Chiefs are so good at everything they do on the field.  I'll explain. 
   The Royals, five days before election day, have changed the plans for their new stadium.  Could they be a hotter mess?
   We've got a clip from MLB Network you're going to love and may have you believing Cole Ragas is a Cy Young candidate.
   Trump and Biden will be just a few miles apart today but you've gotta hear the contrast of who and what they are about in their appearances.
   Spokesperson KJP had a spokesperson lie for her about hanging up the phone on a radio reporter in North Carolina.  This is just biz as usual for these folks but if these were Trump spokespeople, this would be the biggest story in America.
   Comedian Jon Stewart says Trump over valuing his properties is not a victimless crime and has hammered the ex president relentlessly.  Uh oh, Stewart overvalued his townhome by 829%.
   A new movie about Reagan is coming out and a sort of famous son takes a fun jab at his really famous dad.

   The Royals Season opener is here and it's a whole new team.  We'll set the table for you for opening day whether you're going to the game, coming to our Patron's Party, watching on tv or listening on radio.  Play Ball!
   Patrick Tuohey of www.showmeinstitute.org just scorches Mayor Q in a new piece pointing out how wrong politicians are before a vote occurs telling us things we want to hear.
  KJP hangs up on a radio News Director in North Carolina because she didn't like being asked real questions.  This story is a big deal in that swing state.
   Caitlin Clark is wrong again as tv ratings show the men's tourney is AT LEAST ten times more popular than the women's. 
   The NFL has adopted the XFL kickoff rule and this is great for football fans everywhere.  And Columbia's Jontay Porter of the Toronto Raptors is being investigated for throwing gambling lines in his own games.

   Legendary Dem operative James Carville is speaking the truth to his party when he says "preachy females" are taking over the party and leading it to ruin.  I call them "Swifties" but you know exactly who we are talking about.  If you or me or Trump said what Carville said about these women, it would be the biggest story in America.
   When did the stadium vote become a giant liberal grift for "community benefits" that will lead to corruption and theft and no real benefit?  We used to call these things bribes and this one is right out in the open as the Royals and Chiefs try to get their billion dollars.  And the people getting the free money, of course, are complaining it's not enough.  
   A cargo ship in Baltimore loses power and tumbles the massive Key Bridge in the 9th largest port in America.
   The new look Royals look great on paper.  Now it's time to see how they look on the field.
   Shohei Ohtani seems to be hiding a lot in his gambling scandal and Caitlin Clark is wearing me out as the most annoying college athlete in the land.
