Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

    My mistake... let's try this again and thanks to everyone that alerted me to the silent hole at the 30:00 minute mark!
 Defense is sexy.  There, I said it.  The new look Chiefs are frustrating some KC fans and I can understand why.  It doesn't look like Patrick Mahomes will win and MVP award, the Dolphins offense is like a video game but what do you know?  KC hasn't played well and they're 5-1.  How?  KC has the 2nd ranked defense in the NFL.  Warning:  Nobody is taking out the champs if Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have the second best defense in the league.
   Campus protests and big city gatherings filled with students, scholars and BLM members supporting Hamas in America are sickening.  We've got two great responses from a pair of men in sports you may know that sum this pathetic situation up perfectly.  Hamas is literally occupying Gaza now, keeping citizens from moving to safety.  This is so one sided, Hamas is the devil.
   Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com joins us with his point spread picks for the weekend including KU, KSU, MU and the rest of the NFL.
 

   It's old fashioned and seemingly out of touch in our high tech society but a perfectly written letter by the President at the University of Florida crystalizes how would should all be acting in light of the madness we are seeing across the nation after the attack on Israel. 
   Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has it right again as he's calling for the US to make a bigger, faster commitment to getting our citizens out of Israel, fast.  And he's right when he says we should redirect Ukraine aid to Israel.
   Looking for some part time work?  Well, you can make some cool cash standing outside Trump rallies holding anti-Trump signs.
   The Broncos are #2 in the NFL in fast offensive starts.  When Sean Payton's guys are on script, they're pretty good.  This could actually be a high scoring game.
   Taylor Swift has been sneaking in and out of KC to visit Travis Kelce and rumors are swirling she's here again tonight.
   KU schools the NCAA on how to fight a major infractions case.
   And all three of our local teams hit the road this weekend...... it could get bumpy.

   The Chiefs have a 15 game winning streak over the Denver Broncos that's been going on longer than we've had White Claws or  Tik Tok.  Patrick Mahomes is 10-0 against the so called rival.  But they haven't always been easy as this isn't college football.  The Broncos are showing signs of improvement and it will be interesting to see if they can hang with one of the league's elite teams.
   Aaron Rodgers now says he wants to debate Travis Kelce about the Pfizer covid shot.  This is turning in to silliness even though Rodgers has been right all along.
   The NHL season is starting and the headline is they are banning Pride tape on hockey sticks.  But the rest of the story is the real context.
   As Israel fights back against Hamas, videos are surfacing everywhere of Republicans everywhere that warned this would happen under Joe Biden.  Now, there's even a video of Biden himself saying on the campaign trail that America can't do what he did as president.  This is nuts.
   The race for speaker of the house is getting silly for the GOP and Taylor Swift makes a big donation to a local charity.

   The horrific pictures we are seeing from Gaza City and Israel are beyond barbaric and we fully support Israel to defend itself and destroy these brutal terrorists called Hamas.  But make no mistake about it, this fight is coming to America.  This isn't Russia and Ukraine.  Palestinians are already taking to the streets in Chicago and New York and Sydney chanting, "gas the Jews."   You'd better believe our open border has allowed in hundreds, if not thousands of really, really bad people that want to kill Americans.  All our fake bickering about race and homophobia seems pretty silly right about now as we see what hate really looks like and face the prospect of dealing with it in our streets.
   Chiefs tight end is nursing his ankle to get ready for Thursday night's game and taking shots from all over the internet from doctors and scientists.  Not Pfizer shots, truth shots.
   A Chiefs rookie is improving rapidly and just the right time and the Arizona Diamondbacks take MLB by storm in dominating the heavily favored Dodgers to go up 2 games to none in their best of five playoff series.

   Stan Weber joins us to wrap a bow around a wild weekend of football that saw the Chiefs clean up so many facets of their game in a 27-20 win over Minnesota.  Then we talk contenders and pretenders and who the MVP of the league is so far.  Brock Purdy, superstar?  You bet.
   It was going well for the Tigers in Columbia Saturday until LSU finished strong with a 22-7 fourth quarter.  Stan explains exactly what Mizzou needs to do to finish stronger.
   KU rushed for 399 yards against UCF in an easy win and the schedule ahead looks great for the Jayhawks.  KSU flat out flopped at OSU Friday night as Will Howard tries to force passes to receivers that can't get open and we talk SEC and Big 12 races for the top.

   There's a lot of reasons Joe Biden is suddenly interested in building border walls in Texas as we predicted he would do.  Sure, there's criminals and terrorists and overcrowding and a million problems but the reason he's on it now is he wants votes.  Specifically, he's getting crushed on this issue with black voters who see all these illegals on their doorsteps and they aren't happy.  Hundreds rallied in Chicago to stop the illegals and it was quite a scene. 
   The Chair of the DNC is sounding alarm bells that a "rash" of Dems are switching parties including Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson.  Johnson, who is black, is explaining to his voters he switched because he wants the illegals out of Dallas and wants a bigger, better police force.  His voters love it.
   Spotify's number one podcast is no longer Joe Rogan.  It's New Heights with the Kelce brothers.  Spotify also says it believes the pod is the number one in the world this week.  Amazing.
   By playing the Vikings Sunday, Patrick Mahomes checks his last box and Lee Sterling from www.paramountsports.com joins us with his picks for the Chiefs, Mizzou, KU and KSU this weekend.

  This is the biggest week in years at 'Ol Mizzou and why not?  5-0 with a scorching hot QB and a game wrecking wide receiver the Tigers are poised to light up the board against a traditional powerhouse LSU team with zero defense.  Every arrow is pointing up... but how confident should Tiger fans be?
   In Lawrence, the quarterback situation is no clearer than it was a few days ago.  And K-State travels to OSU as a big fave.
   In the NFL, the Chiefs travel to Minnesota to play Kirk Cousins and the Vikings.  Cousins has had the turnover bug this year but this is a real team and a likable guy.  Cousins became even more likable this week at a Minnesota Twins playoff game.  We have the story.
   As we watch the mayhem in the House, one candidate is the odds on favorite to replace Kevin McCarthy as speaker.  But it has me thinking not just about the future of the Republican Party but parties in general.  We'll discuss.
   The Country Club Plaza's new owners and very close to the Hunt family in Texas, this has to be good for KC, right?  Joe Biden can't even own a dog so they took Commander away from him after biting a 12th staff member.  And LeBron James is lonely and begging to be on the Kelce podcast.

   I wasn't in favor of Matt Gaetz executing a coup on the Speaker of the House, but it has happened.  So, if Dems can impeach Trump over a phone call, claim he worked with Russia to rig the election, indict him everywhere to keep him from being President why not join them in making a mockery of democracy in America?  Let's make Trump the Speaker and let him oversee the impeachment of Joe Biden and have subpoena power to bring in any of the AG's after him.  It's the only way to fight fair. 
   The feds are about to send an alert to every single phone in America and they say it's about disaster preparedness.  Are you buying that?
   Pitcher Trevor Bauer has endured two years of Trump like persecution from the media, MLB and a fraudulent woman playing victim to extort him out of millions.  We must make this a crime in America as Bauer's case is the most unjust thing against men in our society.  And nobody else will pay a price for it. 
   Aaron Rodgers slams Travis Kelce with a new nickname and Jackson County, Missouri says they may have to separate the Royals and Chiefs stadium votes on the same ballot.

   Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar was carjacked in Washington DC Monday by three masked gunmen and it must have been terrifying.  It's just the latest in a series of representatives and staffers on the hill that have been crime victims this year.  I just have one question for Mr. Cuellar or any of the others and it's a doozy.
   The Trump civic trial is the one that really jumped the shark.  What the hell is this thing about?  It looks like Trump filled out some bank loan forms that the state of New York says were exaggerated.  But he paid all the loans and the banks are happy with him.  What's the crime here?
   Chris Jones did an interview on NBC after the game Sunday night we didn't see because they broke to local news and it's gone viral online.  Jones was great... but one of the NBC anchors got into it with the Chiefs star calling Jets quarterback Zach Jones "garbage."
   The game set a record as the most watched thing on tv since the Super Bowl.  Travis and Taylor pulled in 27 million viewers.  Amazing.
   Bill Self took the chicken exit speaking with the media and releasing a statement about his botched recruitment, signing and handling of a rape allegation against star guard Arterio Morris.
   The MLB post season is here and our Final/Final is a company trying to reinvent a product you use every single day. 

   No more Jets please.  Seriously, let's not have the Chiefs play against that defense again this year even though they scored early and hung on to win 23-20.  This was a great win and we're not joking here.  These rock fights out of division on the road have been a real problem for KC but they found a way to win this one even with a poor passing game.  
   The paparazzi are having a ball with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, now known as "Traylor", and Kelce is more than happy to feed it as he was photographed leaving Taylor's apartment 9 hours before kickoff wearing a profane tee shirt.  
   The Buffalo Bills served up an extra large portion of humble pie on the Miami Dolphins and make a statement in the AFC.
   Mizzou rolls Vandy on a record day for Brady Cook and now the table is set for a wild, wild scene in Columbia this week as LSU comes calling.  This is turning into something that feels special.
  The Royals lose 106 games but Bobby Witt joined the 30/30 club and Zack Greinke got a rousing ovation as he walked off the mound for perhaps the final time.
   The United States Ryder Cup team is a joke and I'm done watching if the Americans don't start taking this seriously and the Attorney General of the United States breaks down and cries on 60 Minutes. What the heck?
