Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   I don't believe in moral victories but I was proud of a Mizzou team I didn't recognize for almost winning their bowl game against Army.  MU had more players out than the Cleveland Browns and it wasn't because of covid.  Bowl games are really strange now.
   A couple dems that want to defund the police are carjacked in Philly and Chicago within 24 hours.  We don't wish this on anyone, but its newsworthy it happened to a pair of dems that want fewer cops.
   And Santa is here today handing out gifts to Patrick Mahomes, Dayton Moore, Joe Biden and even Mayor Q.  We'll have some fun with this Christmas list.

   NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and KU coach Bill Self essentially said out loud what most Americans have been thinking.  Covid fear is over and it's time to move on.  As the White House peddles panic, sports leaders are speaking out that this thing is over.
   The NFL could do the Chiefs, 31 other teams and fans everywhere a favor by letting players play if they are not sick.  Period.  They've already made some changes, will they make the one that matters most?
  It's time to hold Senator Liz Warren accountable for slamming a high profile African American for not paying enough taxes, this should be an outrage.
   And in 36 years of covering sports in the Midwest, I've never seen a team head to a bowl game with as big of a shakeup as the Missouri Tigers as they prepare to play Army in the Armed Forces Bowl.

   It's Christmas week and all Joe Biden wants to do is scare Americans talking about the weakest virus yet.  Even Kamala Harris things Biden and his team are tone deaf and is not on board with their messaging.
   Bill O'Reilly says Donald Trump is running for President in 2024 and he should know.  He's been on tour speaking with his friend, the former prez, and says he will run on his excellent record.
   The Chiefs add Travis Kelce and two others to their growing Covid list.  Who knows how it plays out by Sunday.
   And as the Jayhawks get ready for Colorado, Ochai Agbaji is the leading candidate for national player of the year. 

   America won big this weekend and Senator Joe Manchin announced there is just no way he can support Joe Biden's bloated spending spree when we already have out of control inflation.  Thanks, Senator.  Too bad those in your party are cursing you.
   The AFC playoff picture just got really rosy for the Chiefs as the Patriots and Titans both lose.  Stan Weber is here to to break it all down.
  And we take a look at the matchup between Mizzou and Army in the Armed Forces Bowl.
 

   The Chiefs walkoff thriller over the Chargers is such an instant classic, I get carried away in the analysis and forget there are actually sponsors to take care of on this podcast!  The Chiefs were simply breathtaking entertainment Thursday night in the Entertainment capitol of the world.  This is how the West is won.
   The Cleveland Browns have a virus problem with their Quarterbacks and they are livid at the NFL rules changes.
   College football signing day was this week and it created some raised eyebrows with players getting paid.
   And www.paramountsports.com has KSU and MU Bowl picks and this weekend's NFL.

   It seems impossible, but Jackson Mahomes is once again a big distraction for the Kansas City Chiefs.  This attention seeking, spoiled brother of the star QB is now the target of a local restaurant that has just blistered Jackson on Facebook, for good reason.
   The story broke as the Chiefs were traveling to LA for the Game of the Year against the Chargers.  And KC is without some key players.  We break it down.
   My favorite KU player, Devonte' Graham hit what is maybe the shot of the decade or century in the NBA Wednesday night and credits his time in Lawrence.  You gotta hear this.
  Prime Time Deion Sanders has landed the #1 football recruit in America to play at Jackson State and the news and circumstances around it are really, really strange.
   Joe and Jill botch their assignment consoling victims of hurricanes and terrorism by bringing up the vaccine.  So classless.
   And some war hero veterans are arrested in Queens, NY for not having vax cards.

   Joe Biden accidentally slipped up and said the truth.  In a speech with a prompter, Biden goofed up and says it's not whether democrats are eligible to vote, it's "who counts the vote" that matters most.  Are you kidding me?  All other crazy dem control issues we have now are just trickle down from this.
   Elon Musk is attacked by Senator Liz Warren and in classic Trump fashion he hits back 10 times as hard.  Musk used to be a hero to the left but they've now figured out he's more conservative capitalist than socialist and they are freaking out.
   Michelle Tafoya has been AWOL from NBC's Sunday Night Football since speaking the truth on the View.  Her crime?  She said there is no slavery in the NFL.  Wow.
   And the Chiefs have a couple Covid cases and it's mind boggling for fans to try to figure out what the rules are and whether Chris Jones or Josh Gordon will play against the Chargers.  This is so bad for the NFL.
 

   Kansas City Star columnist Sam Mellinger is leaving to join the Royals as Vice President of Communications.  A typical reaction may be that it seems a little slimy to have a journalist selected by a team but that's far from the case here.  Mellinger has been tougher on the Royals than anyone through the years and they recruited him for this position out of respect.  This story has many layers.
   Over at Arrowhead, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is feeling so cocky about his defense, he's pointing out to the media things he's not good at.  When that's happening, you know he's a confident coach.
   And another news crew has been targeted by criminals in the bay area as these thieves no they will not get locked up long even if they get caught.  It's suddenly very dangerous to be in the media.
 

   Was the 48-9 beatdown of the Raiders the single best game the Chiefs have played under Andy Reid?   If it isn't, it's in the discussion.  This was as complete as it gets in the NFL as the Chiefs just flat out did everything right.  And that's scary for the rest of the league.
   Stan Weber is here to talk about the game, the division and the AFC Playoff picture.
   Also, what exactly was in that game Saturday for Mizzou?  Yes, the hype was fun and the scene was wild for a few minutes.  But there was no payoff for anyone anywhere except Jayhawk fans in Kansas City.  The Border War was more like the Border Surrender. 

   It's the most lopsided outcome in series history as the Chiefs beat the Raiders 48-9.  The Chiefs did everything right, the Raiders did everything wrong.  Simply glorious.
