Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Phil Mickelson dunked all over Lebron James Sunday with a tv audience bigger than the man former known as King James... who was playing in the playoffs.  It's time to re-think niche sports.
   Adelberto Mondesi is back with a bang and Brad Keller is back from the dead.  Put those two together and the Royals get their best win of the season Tuesday night in Tampa.  It's all good news for KC as they are back to .500.
   The Mike Tyson documentary on ABC is addictive viewing, just sensational journalism and filmmaking.  So Why can't we do this with fair and honest documentaries about, let's say, Clinton, Obama or Trump.  I'd watch.
   And Joe Biden is so good, his spox Jen Psaki says she can't keep up with him some days.  At half Biden's age, I'd say Psaki needs to get to a doctor immediately.
 

   The tired old narrative of racism in America is taking a beating as real racism takes over the headlines.  People waving Palestinian flags are beating up Jews while the number one hate crime category continues to be black on Asian violence.  Defunding the police, closing prisons and opening the borders don't seem to be helping much.
   The GM of the Boston Red Sox that traded away Andrew Benintendi is taking some heat from the media, and he should.  Benny is on fire while Franchy Cordero is hitting .179.  As the Royals get ready to open a series at Tampa against a red hot team they almost never beat, it may be Benintendi they need the most.
  Phil Mickelson's mom fired off a series of tweets to Phil's sister during the PGA Sunday asking her to text Phil while he was playing. "Don't hit bombs," she implored... just make pars.  You gotta hear this story.
   And McDonald's, like so many others is trying to hire good people.  The private sector always figures out a way as this company is luring in applicants with something better than money.

   To find the big stories today, you have to look at stories being buried by the left.  Two such stories happened this weekend as Dr. Anthony Fauci admits the virus is man made from a lab and he funded the work in China.  At same time, he still says Rand Paul is a dangerous liar.  The only danger is burying the truth in America.
   In England, a very well known 27 year old BLM leader, Sasha Johnson, is shot in the head at 3:00am near a party.  She's been organizing a new "black led political party" and there are theories all over the place why this happened but nobody knows yet.  Still, if a black party is built in England, you can bet one is coming to America.  This is a really big deal.
   The Conservative crowd at the PGA Championship went wild Sunday for several reasons... including being locked up for a year by the woke left.  I think it's just the beginning of the new normal being wild crowds all over America at sporting events and concerts.
   And if you ever wondered why NASCAR doesn't race in the rain, we found out after a slew of crashed on a wet road course in Texas.  Drivers are livid.
 

   History is made at the PGA Championship as 50 year old Phil Mickelson becomes the oldest player ever to win a major championship.  It was epic, he's a legend and its not every day you watch a sporting event you will never forget.  This is as good as it gets in sports.
   The fans lost all control at the PGA and it seemed to me this is a glimpse of things to come, post covid.  It's obvious there was a lot of pent up frustration in a crowd that was probably 80 percent Republicans.
   And the Royals get outplayed all day before one big swing by Carlos Santana in the bottom of the ninth end it in walk off fashion.  Special Sunday indeed.

   If you appreciate great politicians, you have to admire the brilliance of Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.  At just 36, he has his sights set on the Senate and of course, the White House.  He's so good he can defund the police in secrecy in just two hours with a Council vote and then turn around and go on Fox News and convince some Republicans he didn't defund the police and he stands for local and smaller government.  Some people are mad, but most people just buy what he's selling.
   Patrick Mahomes wants a chip in the ball to decide touchdowns when it crosses the goal line.  Did you know there is already a chip on the ball?  We tell you why it's in there and discuss if PM2's goal line idea is a good one.
   The Royals and Tigers are both on winning streaks as a three game set begins at the K.  The Royals are doing it with a a better bullpen, the Tigers got a no hitter this week.  And Adelberto Mondesi is close to returning... what are we waiting for?
   And Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw says 6 no hitters so far this year is bad for baseball and makes a great case why.

   The suddenly surging Kansas City Royals have bounced back from an 11 game losing streak by beating some of the top starting pitchers in baseball.  The Royals have won by winning the last three innings of the game.  Sound familiar?  It should, and it's become obvious now which Royals player is the biggest key to 2021 and beyond.
   Former Royal Lorenzo Cain is one of my favorite players ever but, wow, is he wrong about instant replay.  He lashed out in the media, just like Royals manager Mike Matheny did Sunday, and they are both way off base.
   GOP house intel reps are calling for a real investigation into how the Covid virus got out of a lab in China and our lives could literally depend on whether we figure this out, or ignore it all for political reasons.
   And Joe Biden tried to steal a line from Ronald Reagan at the Coast Guard graduation ceremony.  It wasn't enough that he botched it, then he insulted the grads.  Biden is a mess, I will  play the clip from Reagan in 1988 and Biden today.  It's embarrassing.

   Chris Stigall has been a national figure in conservative talk radio for years and knows a lot of players in DC.  In this KKHI Conversation, Chris says he thinks Joe Biden works part time because he has very little to do.  We also talk about how media coverage has changed in just four months and how Chris once hosted the Mayor's Christmas Tree lighting.
    The PGA championship starts this week and Danny Clinkscale shares what he thinks will take to win it.  And as we talk about the best player in the world, Justin Thomas, we ask why he didn't get cancelled for his offensive slur on live tv.  And why a Kansas City high school coach did. 

   The Royals have decided masks are optional at Kauffman Stadium, this is a good step.  A local columnist on the left now says it could have been done earlier and we can make our own choices.  We agree, but that would have been a lot smarter and more insightful months ago during football season.
   KU lands a big time hoops transfer... if he doesn't go pro.  Now the question is, could he make more at KU than going pro?  There's a quarterback in the Big 12 projected to make $700,000 in endorsements this year.
   Joe Biden called for Israel to stop defending itself then went golfing and hit a ball backwards. He didn't know where it went... what a metaphor for what's going on with his presidency.
   A CNN anchor pulls a childish stunt at the same time the company is changing ownership.  Makes us wonder if changes are coming with how CNN does business.
   And Melinda Gates wants a pile of money out of Bill Gates in their divorce... for her kids.  Bill has famously said they will only inherit $10million each and that won't fly with her.  This is classic.

   Its the first real criticism of Royals manager Mike Matheny after the Royals blow a chance to take 3 of 4 from the White Sox.  It was bad enough he trotted washed up Wade Davis out to save the game, but what he said after the game should have you concerned.
   The Chiefs get the on field part of 2021 started with Rookie camp and it went well for players like former Mizzou linebacker Nick Bolton.  But it went very poorly for one rookie in Atlanta at Falcons camp who was the victim of a really, really mean hoax.  You gotta hear this.
    A Cincinnati Reds player is the talk of every other player in the game after hitting a home run and then embarrassing Commissioner Rob Manfred during the post game interview.  This is classic.
   And Joe Biden is sitting on the fence with chaos in the Middle East.  His Secretary of State is saying, on foreign soil, that the U.S. wants proof Israel's retaliation is justified.  Uh oh. 

   Spencer Kietzman has issues with the new "Vax or Mask" announcement.  The NCAA shanks it off the tee by ending the college careers of some scholarship golfers who were stunned when their event was cancelled.  And the Royals have made a little rebound in Chicago.
