Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The midterm blame game is full on between Republicans everywhere, even as they take over the House of Representatives.  But it's pretty obvious what needs to happen as we now allow elections "months" and weeks after to gather more votes.  Conservatives have to embrace the lunacy of the system and join the fray.
   The Chiefs special teams have been especially bad this year but now is not the time to fire Dave Toub.
   KU and Duke are set to meet in the Champions Classic without Bill Self and Coach K.  This will be fun... but a little odd.
   The UK has listed a whole bunch of funny laws in Qatar for fans traveling to the world cup... you have to hear what can get you in jail there.
   And Niners QB Jimmy Garapolo is quite the hit with the ladies at an NBA game.

   It's the Football Feast and Stan Weber joins us to talk about the Chiefs fairly easy win over the Jags and taking over the top spot in a crowded AFC.  
  Then, we talk K-State football as the Wildcats once again control their own destiny to make the title game in Dallas.  Has Will Howard finally taken over the starting QB job?
   The Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers each did some nice things Saturday but stopping or even slowing the opponent's offense wasn't one of them.  Could they be bowl bound to face each other in the post season?

Kevin joins Spencer for the weekend episode. K-State has their guy at QB moving forward, and coach Chris Klieman knows it. KU out-gained Texas Tech and lost by 15, that one was a head-scratcher. Missouri was clearly out-matched against Tennessee, and their defense regressed, can the Tigers still make a bowl game? All that and more!

   The countless counting in several states, not just Nevada and Arizona is just mind boggling.  I can't take it any more as we have to be a little worried something nefarious is going on here.
   We know about the 6 million vote lead for the GOP and we're learning more about where it came from.  Republicans made huge gains, again, with young black and Hispanic voters.  You'll like these numbers.
   The Chiefs are at home but Mizzou, KU and KSU are all on the road... we'll preview the games.
   Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com gives us his thoughts on a slew of point spreads this weekend.

   It may not make you feel completely better but this was a complete and utter beatdown by the GOP nationwide as Republicans got over 6 million more votes than Dems.  In voting for the House, the GOP leads 52.3% to 46.2% nationwide.  That's a beatdown almost as big as the historic 2010 Tea party movement.
   KKHI has conducted the first Trump vs. DeSantis primary straw poll in our area, non scientific of course.  It happened at our patrons party Wednesday night and you may be shocked by what happened.
   Saturday Night Live is going to get a huge ratings boost as Dave Chappelle hosts this week.  But some writers on the show have walked off because a free speech believing black man is hosting and that's just too much for these white liberals. 
  Chiefs coach Andy Reid faces former assistant Doug Pederson and the Jaguars Sunday at Arrowhead.  Andy has had 10 assistants become head coaches and his record against them is insane.
  A KC area high school basketball star that went to Mizzou, became a fan favorite and later became a coach is involved in one of the saddest tragedies ever as he kills his wife and then himself.
   And former KU Jacque Vaughn is rewarded for excellent work, loyalty and persistence to become the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.

   Before you start feeling a gloomy, remember, winning the House is winning the House.  And while there was certainly no red wave, there was a voter shift by people that aren't happy with what's going on.  We'll take it.
   The state of Missouri, like Florida, was a statewide sweep and beatdown by the GOP.  God bless Missourians!
  The biggest loser in all this is not Amanda Adkins in District 3 of Kansas, it's now obvious that seat is gone forever.  Johnson County has swung left and bad things are coming.... take it to the bank.  No, the biggest loser was Derek Schmidt who lost by just a few thousand votes after completely ignoring campaigning in the KC area.  It was a horrible strategy that still would have worked if not for two other also rans on the ballot that got over 30,000 votes.
   The Senate hangs in the balance but still looks like it's going GOP... hang on tight.

   It's election day and we're already hearing about a "red mirage" by ABC News as they expect it to take days "or even weeks" to count all the early votes.  What?  Shouldn't early votes be the first counted?
   I'll share a couple personal stories about why I love voting and how it began.
   Donald Trump announces he will have a big announcement next Tuesday, the 15th.  I think we know what that means.
   Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says the Chiefs were in compliance with NFL rules when Britt Reid got drunk at work.   Good for him, but it doesn't answer the question why they felt compelled to pay the family of Ariel Young millions of dollars.
   College basketball started Monday night... we'll talk about a couple players to watch.  
   And Kate Upton is having her best week ever with hubby Justin Verlander winning the World Series... in the process... she's making Giselle Bundchen look pretty bad.

   It's the football feast as the Chiefs set a couple NFL records Sunday night against the Titans.  It was never easy and took another Mahomes miracle, but KC moves to 6-2 and tied for the best record in the AFC.  Stan Weber was amazed, as we all were, and here's here to break it down.
   Then it gets a little chippy as I disagree with Stan about the quarterback situation at K-State.  
   KU is bowl bound after beating down OSU and Mizzou suffers yet another loss because a a totally whacky play. 

The Kansas Jayhawks are going to a bowl game for the first time since 2008, as they beat up on Oklahoma State. K-State is now on the outside looking in for a Big 12 championship game appearance as they lose to Texas. Mizzou drops another close one and their chances of getting to a bowl game are slim to none. 

   It's a ton of sports on this episode starting with the Chiefs opponent Sunday night.  Titans QB Travis Tannehill did not practice Thursday but I'd be surprised if he doesn't start.  His Titans are one of the most confusing teams in the NFL.  One computer has them as the 6th best team while another has them in the bottom ten.  We try to solve this puzzle.
   KSU, KU and MU are all at home this Saturday with games they can win... and all seem to be getting healthier.  The biggest stakes are in Manhattan where K-State can take a huge step toward a Big 12 Title game appearance.
   KU won it's exhibition game Thursday night and then Bill Self spent a few minutes after the game talking about his suspension.  And it was uncomfortable.  He admitted and conceded nothing and said he was in on the decision making process for the suspension.  It just gets stranger as he referred to the cheating scandal as something that "went down."
   Matt Quatraro is introduced as the new manager of the Royals as they are moving things in a whole new direction and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with his football point spread picks.
