Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Chiefs blew an 11 point lead in the 4th quarter to fall to the Ravens 36-35 in a thriller Sunday night and there's plenty of blame to go around.  But there is no bigger problem for KC than a super soft defense that allowed 251 rushing yards.  Stan Weber tells us this has to change.    The AFC West is home to the only undefeated teams in the AFC... the Raiders and Broncos.  Really?  Sounds c...

24/7 Sports' Riley Gates is back on talking all things football. Spencer Kietzman thinks the NFL has brought back it's fans from the far-right, who tuned out last season. The Chiefs face their first road test in Baltimore on Sunday night. Mahomes has not lost to the Ravens, and that shouldn't change. K-State is facing an uphill battle without Skylar Thompson at QB as the schedule toughens up. If K...

   Everything you need to know about the Chiefs vs. Ravens is right here.  First, we take a look at how Patrick Mahomes gets motivated for each game.  Spoiler alert.... last year's Ravens game tells us what we need to know.    Then we hear from Frank Boal on how the Chiefs keep hitting big plays out of nowhere and Stan Weber on whether the Chiefs can improve their below average run game and dreadf...

   22 year old Independence police officer Blaize Madrid-Evans has lost his life after a shootout with a violent criminal that had just been released from jail.  Blaize had only been on the  job for 2 months and the criminal had only been out of jail two weeks.  How is this possible?    Joe Biden can't remember the name of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison at a live news conference they had...

    As we've watched the FBI, CIA and most of DC go woke and move left, it was hard to imagine our military brass would ever lose sight of America first.  But it has happened, if a new report is true.  Can you even imagine the highest ranking military official calling China behind the President's back?  We have a huge problem with Mark Milley.    Liberal comedian and political host Bill Maher says...

   Seven weeks ago, Dayton Moore appeared on Kevin Kietzman Has Issues and we talked about him stepping away from his duties as General Manager and becoming team president.  While nobody else in the media wanted to discuss this, Dayton didn't shy away and told us he'd do whatever Chairman John Sherman wants.      Today is the day Moore moves to President and J.J. Picollo takes over as General Mana...

   Peyton and Eli Manning, after a rough start, settled into something so raw and revealing, they may have just changed the way all analysts talk about pro football.      In the process, Travis Kelce was a guest and he was brutally honest.  Kelce says when the game is on the line, he just gives Mahomes a certain look in the eye that he's going to run around "to make some shit up."  This is the the...

   This episode is a football geek's dream.  Stan Weber joins me as we cover it all from the Chiefs thrilling win over the Browns, both good and bad.    Two teams went thud on Sunday, most spectacularly Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.  But the Bills were awful, too as Josh Allen threw 21 incomplete passes.  We go around the league.    Stan had the call for K-State's win over SIU Saturday night and...

   One huge play from Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill lit Arrowhead on fire in the fourth quarter and in the process... ramped up a KC defense that had been bad all day.    It looked bleak most of the day, but with Arrowhead rocking, the Browns bumbled their way to three second half turnovers and the Chiefs win it 33-29.

   Our full interview with Kevin Harlan on the NFL season, the future of tv sports and more is up for Patrons Only. On this episode, we play a clip of Kevin's thoughts on the Chiefs and Browns Sunday.    Also, Spencer Kietzman is back with his weekend previews and his friend Riley Gates from 24/7 Sports joins him to talk KU, K-State, Mizzou, the NFL and Big 12 Expansion.

  The opening night in the NFL almost makes you feel sorry for other sports as the Bucs/Cowboys game was just a thrill a minute.  Even though Tampa Bay seemingly will continue to get all the calls, this sport is so much fun and so American it's not surprising the left loves to attack it.    The Chiefs and Browns should be just as much fun and if that's true, how can the computer say the Chiefs hav...

   Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has a first ever, 50 unit selection in week one of the NFL and handicaps a slew of games for us including the Chiefs-Browns, Tigers-Wildcats and Cyclones-Hawkeyes.    I also share my thoughts on what Sunday looks and feels like at Arrowhead and more on the matchup.

   It has always looked easy to be a fan of the best team with the best player.  So why do I have such a hard time believing it's just going to be easy for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs?  He's undefeated in September, undefeated against Cleveland and I'm afraid of this game.  We'll break it down for you.    The Royals had an epic fail in the 8th inning against the Orioles blowing a 5-0 lead.  By...

   Just like so many things in life, we are learning to accept Covid and are moving on.  Of course, some industries are relying on millions of people to stay hooked on fear and they are losing.  Americans, by their actions, are clearly saying they are done with Covid.    It's so great being a Chiefs fan these days as there is never, ever any quarterback drama.  But it's a normal part of the game f...

   It was an epic four day weekend of college football fun as KU, KSU and MU all win.  The Cats were the big surprise with their new look defense totally shutting down Stanford but there are plenty of other story lines.  Clemson lost and one coach actually lost his job after one game.  We've got it all.    The Chiefs got Monday off because they have a great kicker.  This is the kind of story that...

      Kevin Harlan hates parking garages.  Confused?  Don't be.  We have a clip from our NFL Preview episode for patrons at www.kkhasissues.com that will have you rolling on the floor.  You're going to love this and agree with him.    And our conversation is with a Kansas City financial planner that switched from investing for others to teaching others how to find their path to financial well bein...

      The Big 12 looks like it's together and looks like it has a good plan to add four schools.  But you can still see the cracks if you look close enough.  This crack is more like a fault line.  How in the world is Dr. Doug Girod one of two chancellors on the expansion committee when he's presided over the disaster that is KU Athletics?    There's personal problems, there's technical problems, t...

   Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is a national handicap champion and on air partner of mine for 20 years.  This is an opening week, college football bonus from Lee as he discusses a few Big 12 games against the spread. 

   Watching Joe Biden stumble around, actually unfit for office, proves that while America is great... there is a real weakness in a democracy.    The name Black Bob is officially ok to use as the Kansas City Star points out it was the name of the man who led the Shawnee "Indians" in the Olathe area.  Wait, I thought "Indian" had been cancelled by the Star?  And Black Bob is ok?  So hard to keep s...

   College Football week one is here and Stan Weber previews the Wildcats and Stanford battling at Jerry World in Dallas.  The Lance Liepold era begins at KU against South Dakota while Eliah Drinkwitz has his first non conference game at Mizzou.    Scott Frost is melting on the hot seat at messy Nebraska and #3 Clemson faces #5 Georgia this week.  It's game week on KKHI.

   It's time to become a fan of Urban Meyer as he refreshingly speaks his mind.  The latest?  Meyer says of course the Covid vax is a factor in whether to keep a player or not, it's the NFL's silly rules.  Now the NFLPA is investigating the Jacksonville coach.    The Chiefs cuts didn't turn a lot of heads, but they did do something with a player they've never done before.    A pair of baseball gre...

   Joe Biden is giving a big speech now that we are out of Afghanistan where he's going to try to convince you that the greater good of getting out justifies the disaster we just witnessed the past two weeks.  Just remember, the most important call in their playbook is controlling the message.  And that's about to start.    These are the same people that have controlled our Covid policy for two ye...

   It's so sad to lose service members the way America did last week and at the same time, it's heartwarming to see how everyday folks remember them.  So many great tributes all over the land this past weekend reminds us that most Americans are truly great people.    Now politics, well, that's a different bird.  Mayor Q as a councilman and candidate railed against the city doing deals behind close...

   With all the bad news and chaos in the world since the start of the pandemic, I was reminded by a listener named Jim Smiley that there is greatness in our communities if we just take the time to see it.   Jim sent me a video of incredible young kids that benefit from the great work at www.ballardcenter.org in Lawrence and put me in touch with Becky Price, the CEO.  She's carrying on a nearly 60...

   It was the worst day for America since 9/11 and it leaves us with a choice to make.  Do we care?  Do we want to remain the greatest country on earth or do we want to leave it all  behind for things that entertain us and make us feel good?
