Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   When you have a mayor and police chief that can't say the word "gang" at a news conference and shut down reporters who ask about it, you have no chance fixing our city's real problem.  That shooting Wednesday WAS what KC is.  There just happened to be hundreds of thousands of people around.  It happened at Crown Center a few weeks ago, heck, there was another shooting during the parade a few blocks away that nobody is talking about.   Now, my inbox if filled with people that think a downtown ballpark is the worst idea they've ever heard.  Will that stick or will it fade?  More importantly, why can't we get serious about a criminal behavior crackdown on gang members running around with illegal guns?
  In Georgia, Fani Willis and her case against Donald Trump turns into a Saturday Night Live sketch.
  In sports, KU coach Bill Self spent the week coaching defense, defense, defense with his road struggling Jayhawks.  They expect a full roster of players as they visit Norman, Ok Saturday.
   Iowa star Caitlin Clark set a bogus record Thursday night but only needs a couple more games to get the legitimate scoring record and Tiger Woods is a shankapotomous. 

   The shooting at the Chiefs parade rally was right in front of us and I'll detail for you exactly what we saw and experienced.  Law enforcement were brilliant and two men and one woman were absolute heroes tackling and holding one of the alleged shooters.
   While we don't yet know exactly what happened, we are certain, and could see it all day, that our society is crumbling.  Somehow we seem ok to accept so many things that no moral and just society would allow. 

   It's a miracle we can pull off a parade in this city.  When the City Manager told government funded radio that he pretty much told Tay Tay not to come to the parade, Mayor Q apparently reacted Swift-ly saying that's not true as KC is so inclusive.  At the same time, the Star runs a story with the CEO of the charity putting on the parade telling us we can't bring beer because it's against the law.  I'm sorry, exactly who is in charge in this town?  Elected officials?  Police?  The dude in the yellow vest?  It's a good thing the football team is better than KCMO.
   The poor Royals had their big moment to show everyone their final/final/final/final decision on where they say they will build a ballpark and it got a little buried with all the other stuff going on.  The stadium has no view of downtown and what looks like a really small "entertainment" area but there's still a lot to like here.  I'm on board with the idea... I'm not on board completely until somebody explains the $2 billion needed to build.
   We have a couple awesome Super Bowl post scripts featuring Patrick Mahomes and Nick Allegreti.
  In the news, Mayorkas is impeachd, Joe Biden turns down a cease fire with Russia, Joy Behar says Trump will draft 13 year olds to fight in Europe and CBS News cuts 20% of its workforce.
 

   123.4 million people watched the Chiefs beat the 49ers and we're betting that overnight number will be adjusted higher.  It's a new record for Americans watching anything.  In the aftermath, Andy Reid delivered the quote of the year... it's going to make you chuckle.  The Chiefs top rated player in the game was a linebacker that was part of the incredible draft class a couple years ago that has led to a complete makeover of this team.  Incredible.
   The Royals are set to announce plans for a new downtown ballpark in the Crossroads District.  I like the site and only have one question.  But it's a big one.
   KU gets bombed in Lubbock Monday night as Bill Self gets kicked out of the game.  There are two things that are really, really different about KU this year and I will share those with you.
   Joe Biden is going to the doctor so they can put out a report telling us he's ok.  This after a new poll shows 86 percent of American say Biden is too old to run.
   Trump has his pick for Chair of the RNC and plans to attend a Fani Willis hearing in Atlanta Thursday.  I can't wait.  And environmentalists are telling us not to buy flowers for Valentines Day because flowers are bad for the environment.  I'm buying twice as many!

   We often say we're not sure what we just saw but it really applies to Super Bowl win number 3 for Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs Dynasty Era.  Millions of people and most of the players on the field didn't know the overtime rules as the clock was running out and Mahomes was tossing the ball to Mecole Hardman to win the game.  It was drama times ten in a game dominated for 3 quarters by the defenses.
   Then, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan must have thought he was in the regular season by taking the ball after winning the coin toss... handing Mahomes all the fourth downs he may need to kick the Niners tail.  And that, he did.  What a win, what a moment, let's have a parade.  Stan Weber is here to break down the closest of matchups that in the end swung red because of one player.

   Please don't go, Joe.  Please... just stay in the race until November!  America needs you to hang in there, stumble, bumble get angry and confuse world leaders.  Please scare us all and botch the border and don't worry about inflation until you're retired.  Please Joe, we're ok with a "well intentioned elderly man with poor memory."  What an historic day in America as we are watching a presidency crumble in real time.
   The down side?  There's an easy plan for Obama and company to execute in the next few weeks that would almost certainly save the White House for them if they just want to do it.  I'll explain.
   The Supreme Court heard the ridiculous argument from official in Colorado to keep Trump off the ballot and it did not go well for the Dems.  This could be headed for a 9-0 decision to KEEP Trump on the ballot.
   Amazingly, Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin was only the third biggest story of the day... but it's a doozy.
   And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com joins us with all the fun Super Bowl prop bets including his daughter's money pick on the Star Spangled Banner.

   It's a podcast worthy of a Super Bowl champ in a Super Bowl city.  Forget all the side shows and hype and celebrities, this is the Football Feast.  All the matchups, all the strategy and all the players that will decide who wins Super Bowl 58.  Stan Weber is here and we cover every single thing you need to know about the Chiefs matchup with the 49ers.  Hang on tight.

   We didn't see this coming and apparently Chiefs players didn't either.  According to NFL Network, Chiefs players were "jacked" when Andy told them to grab their pads and hit the practice field for a full contact workout.  It's not unprecedented but the message being sent was clear.  We'll tell you why Andy did this as it's the biggest key to the game.
   Clark Hunt appeared on 610 Sports Radio and gave insight into Andy's future as head coach of the Chiefs.  Meanwhile, a Chiefs assistant is hoping to win his SIXTH Super Bowl ring.  Amazing.
   ESPN, Fox Sports and Turner Sports announce they are partnering for a new streaming service that will put almost all of your sports in one place.
   Ronna McDaniel is out as chair of the RNC in 6 weeks, we'll tell you who's replacing her.  Ted Cruz wants the Turtle out as leader of Republicans in the Senate and Bud Light's Super Bowl ad is perfect in every way as people are finally starting to accept their apology.

   It was the Chiefs versus the world at the opening day media blitz at the Super Bowl.  Constant boos, heckling and jeering seemed to get the Chiefs fired up.  This is getting fun.
   In Kansas City, the local CBS station is reportedly charging 3 times as much for a 30 second commercial this week as they do for regular games on CBS.  Imagine owning a business where something good like this just falls in your lap.
   After losing 4 in a row and looking awful doing it, K-State somehow was good enough to beat KU.  Maybe the Jayhawks will never win on the road after blowing an 11 point lead against a team that committed 15 mostly unforced turnovers.  KSU stays alive while KU lands in unfamiliar 5th place.
   The Royals lock up Bobby Witt Jr. to a massive long term contract.   Joe Biden sees dead people while giving a speech and we remember the great American Patriot Toby Keith who passes at age 62 after a battle with cancer.

   The Chiefs arrive in Vegas for the Super Bowl with the fresh news the star quarterback's dad got popped for his third DWI and may serve real jail time now.  What a first family we have in KC, the news cycle just never ends.
   The Kansas Jayhawks have officially turned the corner on their season with a beautiful beatdown of the Houston Cougars on Saturday.  Johnny Furphy is the fire they were missing as this kid is now an absolute difference maker.
   Tucker Carlson is reportedly in Russia to interview Putin and it has people on the left in a total panic mode calling Carlson a traitor and saying the US should not allow him back into the country.  These are the same people that used to cheer their lackeys for doing interviews like this.
   A rapper named Killer Mike blasted Joe Biden Friday on Bill Maher's show.  Then he scored three Grammy's Sunday night and now more had them in his hands that the cops in the arena grabbed him, cuffed him and hauled him to jail.  What's this all about?
   And after 31 years, Billy Joel has written and recorded his first new song and performed it as the closing act at the Grammy's.  We'll share the back story of a young man that talked him out of retirement.
