Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   It took a few days but Donald J. Trump has taken off the gloves and fired back in a big way.  At the same time, Attorney General Merrick Garland is starting to look like a fall guy for Joe Biden.
   The Chiefs and Bears do battle Saturday to start the pre-season and quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he wants to get hit.
   Your emails about the Zambezi Zinger coaster at Worlds of Fun just blew my mind.  Two updates will make your day.
   Also, the Royals are rolling, Danny Clinkscale has a new tv show and Antonio Brown's tweet is the greatest thing ever.
 
 
 
 

   Iconic KC radio station WHB celebrates 100 years on the air Thursday night at the Midland Theater with on air hosts, callers, athletes, coaches and dignitaries in attendance... it's a big deal.  This legendary station celebrates an incredible history from it's humble beginnings in 1922 to basically inventing the the Top 40 format and then becoming a Sports Radio phenomenon in the early 2000's.  While it's not what it used to be, WHB should be celebrated.  They asked me to do a video interview instead of having us  (Jessica was an original and 23 year employee)  appear in person and I'll play some of the audio for you. 
   Royals rookies are putting on a show as the team is fun to watch again.  Is it for real or just a flashy burst?
   A gay race car driver is competing in the NHRA event in Topeka this week and the media are making him out to be Jackie Robinson.  He most certainly is not.
  And the all new Zambezi Zinger returns to Worlds of Fun next year, 50 years after the original was built.

   It's not enough for the FBI to raid Trump's house, now they are getting warrants to take phones from his allies.  Congressman Scott Perry was stopped by the FBI on vacation and took his phone from him right in front of his family.
   Elon Musk is moving forward to buy Twitter and has sold almost $7 billion in Tesla stock to make it happen.
   A longtime sports writer in KC announces on social media they are switching genders just in time to receive an award.
   Patrick Mahomes says the Chiefs will be "a lot different" this year and that's a good thing.  MU at KSU is just three weeks away... one poll has the Cats as big faves and we can all learn a lesson from a little league player in Oklahoma who lost a game but won big.

   We lost a piece of a great America Monday when the Dems in charge of everything sent the FBI to raid Donald Trump's house in Florida.  You know what this is all about as they are terrified what he will do to dismantle the Deep State if elected again.
    It's so scummy as the DOJ presumably got ahold of classified documents in the raid while they are defending a lawsuit demanding the DOJ to release documents Trump declassified concerning the Russia Hoax.  This is going to be a wild battle.
   And is there a chance Trump baited them into this?  He's told them he has documents and they are welcome to come see them or get a court order and will turn them over.  If reports are true, the safe the FBI cracked was empty.  Empty as in not a single item in it and it's reportedly fairly new.  That sounds like a prank to me.

   The Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, the single most misleading name for a bill I've ever seen. It's all environmental stuff and a doubling of the IRS and it will undoubtedly lead to more inflation.
    Dem mayors like New York's Eric Adams are fed up with busloads of illegal migrants being unloaded in their cities.  So why not send even more?
   The Chiefs have a new safety, Justin Reid, to replace the Honey Badger and Reid has a special skill he showed off Sunday wowing the crowd with a 60 yard kick.
   OU assistant football coach Cale Gundy resigned for reading a word off a player's IPad.  This is a bizarre story, you'll want to hear the details.
   And the Royals had 12 RBI's Sunday... all 12 by rookie hitters.

The Chiefs are in St. Joseph for training camp, and the AFC west is loaded with talent, especially at Quarterback. Stan Weber joins to discuss the difficult task the Chiefs have ahead of them and their path to getting back to the Super Bowl. The Pac 12 is fighting to hold the conference together, which could lead to some additions to the Big 12.

   Baseball is in quite a transition, especially in KC.  With teams like the Yankees now worth over $7 billion, it's obvious the Royals have to play catch up now with most other teams.  A new downtown ballpark will be a big step as the game changes toward pitch clocks and automated strike zones.
  Ryan Lefebvre joins us to talk about the future of the game, and our favorite team, in a rapidly changing landscape. 
  Ryan also shares some thoughts about Buck O'Neil being inducted into the hall of fame.

   Unofficially, it appears an incredible 180,000 people voted on the abortion amendment and NOTHING else on the ballot in Kansas.  Almost 90% of those were NO votes.  Don't be discouraged, GOP turnout was sensational although many voted NO.  This is democracy and it's clear Kansans thought this was about a total ban and very few want that.
   GOP turnout was nuts in Missouri as well and Eric Schmitt just rolls the field of Senate candidates.  We'll go over winners on both sides of the state line and take a peek at Arizona which had insane GOP turnout as well.
   You can't make up the Whit Merrifield story with the Royals the last three weeks... he gets traded to Toronto.  We have details and commentary about the Royals trade deadline moves.
  Eric Hosmer goes to the Red Sox, the Denver Broncos lose two offensive playmakers to season ending injuries and the great Vin Scully dies at the age of 94. 

   It's primary day in Missouri and Kansas with two votes stealing all the headlines.  There's drama in Kansas and a Trump effect in Missouri.  We analyze both.
   The Al Qaeda leader the U.S. killed over the weekend apparently wasn't all that smart.  Living in his "lockdown" safe house that he could never leave, he developed  a stupid habit of hanging out on his deck.  That's how we killed him and hurt nobody else.  What a fool.
   A new restaurant in a Texas town that voted 81% for Trump is open and simply called Trump Burger.  And business is good.
   The media reaction to Patrick Mahomes walking to the sideline with a "possible" ankle injury Monday was hilarious.  Was he trolling the media?
   And the NCAA has circled back and wants more flesh out of Louisville basketball and former coach Rick Pitino for his work with the same Adidas reps as KU.  It proves once again that KU has been an example for every school how to fight the NCAA and drag it out as long as you can.
