Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

    This is NOT a drill.  Last time around, it seemed like KU and K-State would be ok in conference realignment.  This time, it's obvious they are both in trouble for different reasons.   Do the people running the state have what it takes to lead and help the state's flagship universities?  A former Governor doesn't think so.  Dr. Jeff Colyer believes current Governor Laura Kelly is asleep at the wheel and doesn't care because, "she's a New Yorker that never went to a Kansas school.'  Dr. Colyer is our conversation.
   Also, I've been doing radio shows all over the country on the topic and one show in St. Louis was particularly interesting.  Frank Cusumano is a man I've known for decades and as he pointed out on 590 the Fan, Mizzou sure is in great shape.  But what about those Kansas schools?  I've got it for you.

   College sports used to be all about the players and fans.  Now it's just a giant corporate machine run by an even bigger media corporation that's ruined everything from Mickey Mouse to Star Wars.  OU and Texas leaving the Big 12 and heading to the SEC isn't good for any fans anywhere.  And the powers that be, couldn't care less.
   The Royals are surging behind Jorge Soler, Aaron Rodgers is ready to suit up for the Packers and Simone Biles is hurt at the Olympics.
  Jim Sterk, surprisingly, is out as AD at Mizzou and the SM School district votes overwhelmingly to make 5 year olds wear masks. 

   Thanks a million!
   KKHI has over one million downloads in 10 months and we take a moment to thank all the listeners, patrons and sponsors.  There's also a surprise as I come clean that this whole venture terrified me and almost didn't happen. 
   Spencer joins us, too, as we talk a little football and conference realignment.  And the Royals have won five straight as a young pitcher has the best game for a starter this year.

   The Big 12 had an emergency call with AD's and Presidents and OU and Texas skipped the call.  One admin on the call is speaking publicly without giving his name, we'll tell you what he said about it all.
   The NFL's "mandate, non-mandate" for players to get the vax is all for show.  Collapsing on the field during training camp with a serious medical condition or even death is a much more serious than the virus.  And it's arguable taking an unapproved vax will create even more risk.  This league isn't doing this to help players, they're doing it for show.
   Mizzou coach Eliah Drinkwitz just owns SEC media days.  He's smart and funny and he clearly made headlines for Mizzou football all over the country.  That's a win for the Tigers without even playing a game.
   And Joe Biden in boxed in.  He badly wants to mandate masks again nationwide but it's a pretty tough sell to the unvaccinated to get jabbed, when you're telling people with the vax to mask up because the vax isn't that good.  This is why we're glad we aren't liberals trying to figure out how to execute our next scam.

   College athletics got a jolt when Texas A&M fed info to the Houston Chronicle that OU and Texas could be discussing leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.  A&M hates the idea.  So do most SEC schools and all the other Big 12 schools.  So what's going on here?  Well, there would be only one winner...  We tell you who it is.  And it isn't even OU or Texas.
   Joe Biden's gaffe filled town hall has gone viral.  What a joke.  And he dropped a couple whoppers saying you can't get covid if you get the vax AND democrats have never suggested defunding police.  This admin is a hot mess.
   And maybe it takes a common sense leader overseas to show us the ridiculousness of our leftist ways.  A leader in Italy has a common sense, honest vax plan that I think every American would believe and trust in.  We have it for you.

   Giannis scores 50 in a historic NBA Finals winner and almost 100,000 people take to the streets in Milwaukee.  Somehow it's good news there were only two shootings and three people shot... nobody died. 
   Did you even know the US Women's Soccer team started play in the Olympics before the opening ceremonies?  Well... they hope you didn't notice as America's woke team of social justice warriors get "bopped" 3-0 by Sweden.  What a disaster.
   The Dems officially have a super spreader in DC.  It's the Texas delegation, Kamala, the White House and Pelosi's staff.  But spox Jen Psaki won't say how many and nobody has asked the important question if anyone is dying.  Oh, wait, we really don't worry about healthy people dying, do we?
   And Jeff Bezos had a wonderful day in space until he turned it into a far left political rally, ruining it all for so many of us.  

   The worlds richest man left earth and floated back in under 11 minutes and it was remarkable to watch.  Yes, this sort of thing has been done before, but not quite like this.  Jeff Bezos' simple looking rocket performs to perfection carrying the youngest and oldest person ever into space.
   Did you know our Homeland Security Secretary was born in Cuba and his parents brought him here for a better life?  And he's now telling Cubans not to come here or he will send them back?  Same for Haitians.  But it's ok for Mexicans and Guatemalans to just walk into Texas and stay because they are likely Dem voters.  This is an outrage.
  Joe Biden is warning conservatives in South Florida not to have a boat flotilla to Cuba to help out, saying he will fine them $25,000 per day and up to ten years in prison.  More selective justice from the left.
   Half the covid patients in the UK have been double vaccinated.  UFC  President Dana White is right again.  Peyton Manning joins Monday Night Football and Sports Illustrated goes woke with it's swimsuit cover girl.

   The publicity stunt the Democrat lawmakers from Texas are doing is backfiring in a big way.  Now their trip to DC has turned into a super spreader as they flew without masks and at least five of them test positive.  What a disaster for these clowns.
    A U.S. Olympian has tested positive for Covid and of course that's a huge global story.  The athlete is reportedly Kara Eaker, a back up gymnast from Kansas City.
   The number one song in America this week isn't even being played on the radio.  It's a conservative anthem that has liberals in the music industry calling for singer Aaron Lewis to be cancelled.  But his record company's CEO stands firmly behind him.  What a refreshing change.
   A Cuban American UFC fighter blasts Colin Kaepernick and others that support the communist regime in Cuba... this guy has it spot on.
  Collin Morikawa is the next big thing in golf as he makes history at the British Open, Bobby Witt jr. gets promoted and Lebron James life of privilege takes a new turn at the NBA Finals.

  It took a week for the hard left to come up with something to say about Cuba as it's a no win situation for them.  They couldn't figure it out, so they take the easy and lazy way out.  The AOC crowd is blaming Trump.... who would have guessed?
   The forensic audit of ballots in Arizona is worse than expected as hundreds of thousands of ballots should not have been certified.  You won't believe all the different ways they got scam ballots tabulated.
   Patrick Mahomes and his other splurge on amazing gifts for their wedding party... it's pretty cool.  But we ask the question, if you get a $20,000 gift just for being in the wedding... what do you get the happy couple in return?
   And Seattle radio and tv haven't been afraid to pursue the Richard Sherman drunken rage story, now there's video of him at the front door of the house trying to get in.  Not a good look for Sherman.

     Dayton Moore tells me he still loves his job after all these years, even through all the losing since 2015's World Series title.  But in sports, we know nothing lasts forever.  Dayton is a Royals icon and says going forward he will do "whatever (owner) John Sherman wants me to do."  
   Dayton added, "I want to have a hand in it no matter what," and says he has a great relationship with the owner and is optimistic about the future.  In this candid discussion, we talk about several issues facing the club as the second half begins. 
  The Open Championship is underway and one star golfer is fighting with his club manufacturer.  Also, KU football coach Lance Leipold missed his first Big 12 media day because of bad weather.
