Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   For the near future, KU hoops are in limbo waiting to find out what legendary coach Bill Self is going to do.  If you're not in the camp that believes Jacque Vaughn is here to take the job as a given, well, things just got even murkier for KU as North Carolina parts with Hubert Davis and has an immediate opening.   In an incredible admission, Royals GM JJ Picollo says not too long ago, Royals executives thought Maikel Garcia was a better shortstop than Bobby Witt Jr.  We will play the audio.   The Royals also announ...

   Even MSNow hosts are seeing through Chuck Schumer and other dems that just can never, ever admit President Trump does good things.  Morning Joe got right up in Chuck's grill and set the record straight for him.    Election reform is in focus in many different ways right now and none of them seem to be doing anything but crawling slowly toward tiny gains.    The Royals are in Texas for a little last minute fun... and tune up for the regular season.  It was the fun part that sent the Royals on a sick ride.    Tra...

   The Kansas Jayhawks were consistently inconsistent all season long and they were the same in a wild game against St. John's in the round of 32.  This game was ugly, painful to watch and it appeared KU would die without a fight.  Until they punched back in wild fashion the last 6:00 min only to be denied at the buzzer.  Now what for KU?    There were some other wild moments including Nebraska's crazy game as they advance and ISU rolling Kentucky without the Cyclones' best player.   The Royals have broken camp and have games in Texas against the Rang...

   The Kansas Jayhawks coasted home after building a 26 point lead in their opening game of the NCAA tournament.  It gets tougher from here.  Meanwhile, Mizzou was Mizzou storming back to take a lead with less than 8:00 to play against Miami... and then falling apart.  Is Dennis Gates the long term coach for the Tigers?    Faves went 16-0 on Friday.  Has paying players and unlimited transferring killed Cinderella?   The Royals have their full team back and playing together and none too soon. The season opens Friday.  I've got some thoughts on Jac Caglianone that may not make you v...

   Did you know Kansas is ground zero for an underground nuclear test?  It's not the kind you might think of with explosions and all that, no, this is about a new age of nuclear power generated a mile below the surface.    As TSA has staffing shortages, Senator Ron Johnson is calling for the agency to be privatized along with Air Traffic Control.  The post office is broke, maybe we should look at that, too.    The buzz on the Royals is real folks and it's so hot right now we're now going to be disappointed if the Roya...

   It looks like you could say President Trump has made Venezuela great again as Salvador Perez and his teammates win their first every World Baseball Classic for their home country.  It was a great tournament with a ton of twists and turns and it may just offer up a chance for our president to draw us even closer to Venezuela.  Oh, and Salvy is on KC's Mount Rushmore of sports without a doubt.    Paint a clown face on arrogant Derek Jeter who's trying to talk his way out of being a sloppy broadcaster.  He should start by apologi...

    At first reaction you probably thought, "what in the world do the Chiefs want with Justin Fields as backup quarterback?"   Then, as we start thinking about changes to the offense, something becomes pretty clear.  But I'll take it to another level.  What if Andy is going all mad scientist on us and is about to do something no coach has done before?    We had a wild off road experience in the Sonoran Desert on Monday and nearly stepped on a critter with venom 4 times more potent than a rattlesnake.    The World Baseball Classic is set... Bobby juni...

   Golf season is in full swing with the Masters just around the corner.  Today, you'll hear the story of a young Missouri golfer from the KC area that already has her ticket punched to Augusta National as one of only a select few to qualify for the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.   Bryan Minnis is the founder of Maxim Golf and he and his team at Tiffany Greens are doing something to help out 12 year old Desirae Larson and her entire family to have the greatest golf week ever.    Then, we play a piece of an inc...

   What if I told you a small town Kansas boy became an all state running back and then walked on at Kansas State as a.... punter?   What if I told you he wound up becoming an All Big 12 performer while all through college was playing his guitar but kind of afraid to sing in front of anyone?  It's true.  Then Nick Walsh had a pro day in front of the Chiefs and a few other NFL teams and while running the 40, pulled a hamstring.    It was time to turn to music.    Well, fast forward a few years...

   In an absolutely shocking twist in DC, longtime wishy washy Republican John Cornyn of Texas has come out in favor of blowing up the filibuster in the Senate to fund DHS and pass the Save America Act.  Hmmm, where have you heard that idea before?  Well, it's hard for Cornyn to look sincere in this as he faces a runoff against conservative Ken Paxton to determine November's GOP candidate.. but we'll take it.  Sometimes, even when the will of the people is heard, it feels hollow.    Meanwhile, President Trump and Marco Rubio have offered Cuba's leadership an off ram...

   After announcers told everyone the USA's win over Mexico Monday night put the Americans into the next round AND manager Mark DeRosa did interviews acknowledging their ticket was punched.... it turns out they were wrong.  Jac Caglianone homers form team Italy as they beat the USA 8-6 and now our Red, White and Blue await the outcome of tonight's Italy v Mexico game to find out if they advance.  How is this possible?    Travis Kelce credits Taylor Swift for his decision to return to the Chiefs for another year.  And it wasn't what she said to him.  This is...

   World... meet Bobby Witt Jr!   Monday night at the World Baseball Classic the Royals superstar put on a show for the ages in a game that could only be described as Madness in March.  USA vs Mexico... heck, there was even a fight in the stands.  This was wild and the reaction from people in sports and politics and everyone in between was pretty much total shock for how Bobby Baseball plays the game.    The Chiefs had a wildly great day off the field as Travis Kelce is returning, the Super Bowl MVP runningback is signed to the team...

   A report on Sunday indicates Travis Kelce has decided to come back for a 14th season but says he and his agent may be shopping around to play for somebody other than the Chiefs.  Seems unlikely but I think we'd understand why.    KCI was evacuated due to a bomb threat Sunday as would be passengers poured out of the terminal and planes onto the tarmac, the streets and cell phone lots.  It was a crazy scene.    Iran has chosen the son of the former Supreme Leader to take charge.  This seems like a death wish.  Former Whi...

   Well, your humble host has a pretty good nose for stink when it comes to what liberal law enforcement officials DON'T tell the public.  Our 22 year old man that dropped 20 bombs in a trash can at the World War I Museum is..... yup... wanted by ICE.  Of course he is and of course they didn't want to say it.  This is like "oh, there's children in the hospital" after the shooting at the Chiefs parade.  Ya, those children were the gang member shooters.  It's bad in KC folks, this should be a huge story but you should mostly be concern...

   We have so many questions about a man from California that is charged with placing 20 small bombs in a trash can next to Liberty Memorial and the World War I museum.  At the top of the list... why isn't this a bigger story and why don't we know anything about Owen Canizales Argueta?  Jackson County has announced charges against the man but that's about it.  This doesn't pass the smell test.    European countries are doing a 180 with president Trump and will now allow the United States to use their facilities to continue attack Iran.  The B-2's from Whi...

   It was a rough night in college basketball as a couple things become clear.  Kansas is not the typical squad that's easy to like.  Darryn Peterson has been a distraction, Bill Self lost control Tuesday night and got booted.  Then Jacque Vaughn got a T and Elmarko Jackson committed a flagrant foul.  It had a spoiled brat look we are not used to seeing.  Meanwhile, Mizzou's final week of the regular season starts with a dud of a performance at OU.  Mizzou is not predictable or consistent in any way and it's hard to understand why.    The World Base...

   Like many people, my daily schedule must run on time and has a routine.  While that's a great goal for a president to have, it must be nearly impossible.  We present to you today what we know about President Trump giving the command to attack Iran and the other things he was doing when he gave the nine word order.  It's truly incredible to hear and of course, finished with him ordering hamburgers for everyone at a Whataburger in Texas.  Amazing.    Trump also summed up what we discussed a little on yesterday's podcast... the Dems are going to criti...

   Nobody wants war but after nearly 50 years of killing Americans and chanting "Death to America" it was eventually going to happen with Iran and their radical, oppressive regime.  In an incredible show of military precision and strengh, Iran's leaders were taken out and their military operations have been pounded and are in chaos.  To be sure, President Trump did exactly what he said he would do.  He said it on the campaign trail, he warned them publicy and then he did it.  If this somehow creates peace in the middle east, it will be his crowning achievement.    A Kansas...

   It was a tough day for transgenders in Kansas and Missouri and the freakout is pretty funny to watch.  About 1000 Kansans may have to change one letter on their drivers license under a new law that is in place but won't really even be enforced... at least for a while.  My god, what has the world come to.  So triggering.  And in Missouri, the House passes a law that the overwhelming majority of Americans support as they aim to make it illegal for boys to play in girls sports.  Oh, the humanity.    A St. Louis tv station reports o...

   One day after Donald Trump declared he's putting VP JD Vance in charge of America's "war on fraud" we need a scorecard to keep track of all the federal raids, busts, arraignments and investigations made public in some of our biggest cities.  KC's Mayor Pro Tem is in really hot water over an FBI investigation that's been going on for a full year without her knowing it.  LA, San Fran, Boston, Miami and the mother of all fraud... Minneapolis.. all had big news yesterday.    That takedown on the street by ICE of a 19 year old American in Olathe...
