Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

    It's a simple slogan that's probably meant to be snarky, but when I saw a post from a reader of a story that simply said, "The final variant is Communism," it really stood out to me.  Today, we compare what Dems want to do with government through the lens of what they've done with a virus.
   Another week, another judge hammering away at Joe Biden's illegal mandates.  Ten states, including Missouri and Kansas, won't be losing healthcare workers to Biden's rule.  He loses these things at every turn.
   New USC coach Lincoln Riley is getting $110 million at his new gig, but it's the bonuses and perks that will make you shake your head.  It would take a lot of nerve to ask for the things he got... but he did it.
   And there's a new king of college football on television... and it isn't close.  SEC on CBS?  Nope.  ESPN, right?  Nah.  Fox Sports is the new king of the sport with it's Big 12/Big Ten combo.

   With Lincoln Riley giving Oklahoma the shaft that OU gave to the Big 12, it's time for the Sooners to consider crawling back on their hands and knees.  Stan Weber discusses the disaster in Norman and it's effect on college football across the country.
   Also, we break down the playoff picture for Chiefs in the AFC and identify a strong favorite in the NFC.
   Hey, there's a new Covid variant and the doctor that discovered it calls it "extremely mild."  So of course, Dr. Fauci is hitting the panic and calling it "extremely contagious."  So are colds.  Liberal pols are lining up to lock us down.
 

K-State and Mizzou lose their regular season closers, as they await their bowl game matchups, it's time to ask the question as to what K-State's future looks like at QB in the post Skylar Thompson era. Also, MU has some key players returning next year, do they scare anyone in the SEC east?
The Titans play at New England, The Chargers play at Denver, the Browns play at the Ravens, plus Indianapolis has their biggest test thus far as they host Brady and the Bucs, all while the Chiefs are on a bye week. Seems like this Sunday we may get some clarity on who the pretenders and contenders are in the AFC.
Riley Gates of 24/7 Sports joins.

   Happy Thanksgiving to all and if you're like us, you're mixing in plenty of sports the next few days.  Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his Turkey Shootout for us this weekend.
   Also, we remember the fiercely quiet competitor Wade Davis.  Davis has hung up the cleats but will always be remembered for transitioning from starter to closer and winning a trophy with the Royals.
  And the Kansas Jayhawks open play in a basketball tournament at Disneyworld... it's a tourney they are heavily favored to win.
 

   Its sad we have to ignore two days worth of reports about stories like the tragedy in Wisconsin where 6 people were killed and 47 injured, before we learn the real facts.  The truth here is this never should have happened and an elected Democrat is responsible.
   NBC News has some suggestions on how to beat Bidenflation on Thanksgiving Day.... Just eat Spaghetti.  You have to hear this.
   T-Mobile Center is dirty and could be a bigger health risk for you than some virus.
   Sporting KC hosts Salt Lake this Sunday in the MLS playoffs in an intriguing matchup.  We explain why this match is different.
   And a man bet $50 to win $1.1 million hitting the great sports bet in the history of sports betting. You will be astonished how this happened.

   In a sure sign the election year has started, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has conceded to Republican lawmakers and will sign the Kansas "freedom" bill which means an employee in Kansas does NOT have to get the jab.  It's really a state law that backs up federal law and Kelly knows it.  But it's an election year for her now, she had no choice.
   The CDC, as quietly as the Chiefs report settlements, released some stunning numbers of how many Americans have had Covid.  This alone should be the stats that mean the pandemic is over.
   Joe Biden is releasing 50 million barrels of oil which isn't nearly enough to bring prices down much.  But it's yet another sign the election year is on and Dems are really feeling the heat.
   Fox Sports has announced the formation of the new USFL football league and they will start play in the spring of 2022.  We discuss if it has a chance.
 

   Nobody's asking the important question about the Chiefs financial payments to little Ariel Young and her family.  This was announced, as all murky news is announced, late on a Friday afternoon.
   Why did the Chiefs pay all this money?  The low level, addict employee that got drunk and injured the girl has been fired and is likely headed to jail.  What do the Chiefs have to do with this?
   You know how mad this stuff makes me and this is as ugly as it gets.  I'll share the column I wrote for our Patrons on Saturday and play my guest appearance on The Chris Stigall Show concerning this topic.  It's not for everyone, but it's real and it's truthful.
   Also, I'm never going back to my long time vet clinic with my dog.  Wait until you hear how nutty Covid  made these whackos and I'm naming names.  Bye Bye never felt so good. 

   It's impossible to remember an NFL defense improving this much "in season."  We've never seen anything like it as Chris Jones is back in the middle blowing everything up, the corners are settling in and the rush ends seem to know their roles.  This is amazing as the Chiefs beat Dallas 19-9 and have sent a message to every team in the AFC that they can beat you with something other than 400 yards by Patrick Mahomes.
  Stan Weber joins us to analyze the Chiefs, Mizzou's complete season turnaround the last two weeks and job openings at LSU, USC and Florida and how they make dramatically change the Big 12. 

   There are families and children in need in our community this holiday season and we are blessed to have people like Brigette Chirpich and everyone at Catholic Charities to do God's work.  In fact, there are dozens of organizations that step up year round and you may already be affiliated with one or have your own family tradition to help others.
  If you do, we still think you'll be enlightened hearing about Christmas Shining Star and what the program does for kids in Kansas City and St. Joseph.  If you don't, we'd love for you to join the effort.  And if you'll indulge me just a little, this episode is quite personal and emotional.

   It's been almost two months since Beth Reams lost her job at Pembroke Hill for posting about the vax on her personal Facebook page.  We discuss her comments about how she believes she's a victim of bias that liberal teachers don't endure.
   Also, we have special message about our upcoming podcast on Friday.
   And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his Chiefs/Cowboys pick and our favorite college selections.
