Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Taliban have circled the airport in Kabul and the only thing that matters is finding a way to get Americans stuck in Afghanistan through that circle and onto planes to fly them home.  Period.  Hopefully this can be done peacefully, but if not, a military option has to be on the table.  We cannot leave Americans behind.    We also break down what went wrong and have some audio clips and stat...

   The world watches in shock as thousands breach security at the Kabul airport desperately trying to get out of Afghanistan now that the Taliban are in charge.  Clinging to planes as they take off, people fall to their death in one of the worst moments for America in years.  The Afghan president has already fled and the American president is on vacation.      A teacher in Overland Park won't teac...

   It was baseball's best night in years at the cross section of sports, family, the heartland and drama.  In short, we love Americana and baseball delivered in a giant way with the Field of Dreams game.    The name Arrowhead is getting hard to find as the team has sold name rights to the field in big bold letters on the stadium.  Bring your glasses or squint because you can barely see the word "A...

    It's rare we get a truly special sporting event, but we have one this week and it should be epic.  And I'm an emotional guy when it comes to this as I open up with something deeply personal that you likely feel, too.    Most news around the Chiefs is boring and mundane.  But Patrick Mahomes has opened up in an interview with the Ringer and basically blasts his own play last year.  Mahomes says...

   The Chiefs begin the pre-season against the 49ers Saturday and my wish list is short.  One thing on each side of the ball is where the team needs to improve to dominate the league this year.  And they're dealing with an injury on the offensive line, what's new?    Salvador Perez celebrated his 10 year anniversary of his MLB debut Tuesday night with two more home runs and a single.  That's 29 fo...

    "I will be a firewall from liberals taking over the suburbs."     Yep, that's what Mike Czinege told Overland Park voters walking door to door as he professed his support for the conservative Republican agenda.  In a four man primary race, where you are not "supposed" to declare your party, Mike did so proudly.  A 44 year career business executive with AMC Theaters and Applebee's, Mike is now...

   In a sport where so many games don't seem to matter much during a season the Royals are dealing with disappointment, the Boys in Blue played a game for the ages against the Yankees.  At least three Major League records were set it this instant classic.    The sports media covering the Colorado Rockies were downright giddy when they thought they heard a racist fan use the N word at a game Sunday...

   We've learned a lot about our government, it's agencies and politicians during this pandemic.  Perhaps we've learned more about Dr. Tony Fauci and his NIAID than anything else, and we don't like what we see.  Now it's learned through a FOIA request that Fauci approved the sickest, most inhumane treatment of 28 healthy beagles that you could ever imagine.  Fauci must go.    The media are having...

   We've learned a lot about or government, its agencies and politicians during this pandemic.  Perhaps we've learned more about Dr. Tony Fauci and his NIAID than anything else, and we don't like what we see.  Now it's learned through a FOIA request that Fauci approved the sickest, most inhumane treatment of 28 healthy Beagles that you can ever imagine.  Fauci must go.    The media are having a ba...

    The Pro Football Hall of Fame is better than the baseball hall.  There, I said it.  Everyone in sports media will disagree with that and baseball purists would cut me entirely out of their life for saying it.  But I will back it up and prove it.    Then we ask, which current Chiefs will make the Hall?  I have four locks, three that probably will and a couple that could.  Isn't that more fun th...

   Kansas Senator Roger Marshall wants the DOJ to investigate ESPN for possibly breaking the law while trying to break up the Big 12 Conference.  This is nice that Marshall is trying, but we get the feeling this is going nowhere with the Biden DOJ.    The president is having a bad week as Ron DeSantis has just obliterated Biden's Covid policy as hundreds of thousands of illegals are allowed to wal...

   When Tyreek Hill took his pads off and received treatment on a sore knee, it was no reason to panic.  It looks like it's going to be ok.  But it is a very, very early reminder to all of us how difficult it is to reach three consecutive Super Bowls.  This season is no given.    In a very strange business deal with the state of Kansas, Cerner is leaving it's campus by the speedway.  And it could...

   President Biden has called for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign after an investigation reveals Cuomo is creepy, really creepy around women in the workplace.  But should hair sniffing, girl touching Joe really be our compass as to who is too creepy to keep their job?  The cannibals are out... and Cuomo is running for his political life.    As a guest on the Chris Stigall Show on KCMO 710...

   While it may just be a bunch of sore losers venting, it sure was fun to watch UT President Jay Hartzell just get skewered at a public hearing in Texas.  AD's , the commish and politicians took turns mocking the university and it's wildly underperforming football program.  There was also some real news we address.    Royals GM Dayton Moore says he's considering his best player, Adelberto Mondesi...

   After I sent a harmless tweet Sunday night questioning Mayor Quentin Lucas' mask policy, it clearly touched a nerve.  Q tweeted back using Jesus' name and called me a racist.  I guess this is how high brow Ivy League educated leaders are in 2021. I've got the whole story for you including other Dems joining in making fun of me for starting my own business.  These people need help.    Former Chi...

   It's a perfect day to start with something completely positive.  A listener has pulled his kids out of public schools and sent the to Christian schools and you won't believe how incredibly great their Covid rules are.  We have hope!    It seems we know the reason Mayor Q has waited a week to implement his mandate... and you will laugh when you hear it.  This is the funniest thing you will hear...

   Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby just continues to hammer away on behalf of the remaining 8 schools in the Big 12.  After his cease and desist letter to ESPN, Bowlsby now says the AAC is trying to lure all 8.  This should embolden the schools as they ramp up the rhetoric that their 99 year agreement with OU and Texas is a legal juggernaut.    Patrick Mahomes didn't take long at Chiefs camp to fi...

   In a stunning development, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby has outlined for everyone just how ESPN orchestrated, along with OU and Texas, their departure from the Big 12.  And it's deeper than that. Bowlsby says he has irrefutable evidence ESPN is courting at least one other school and working with another conference to take 3-5 of the remaining eight.      There's about $1.2billion at stake ov...

   If the face of the Olympics, Simone Biles, has a mental health issue and is being treated by doctors at the Olympics, she should fly home and seek immediate help.  Could somebody please make sure this doesn't end in a tragedy?  If that's not what's going on, she needs to shut up, suck it up and get out there and try her best.  There's no dishonor in no longer being the best.  But wishy-washy, s...

    This is NOT a drill.  Last time around, it seemed like KU and K-State would be ok in conference realignment.  This time, it's obvious they are both in trouble for different reasons.   Do the people running the state have what it takes to lead and help the state's flagship universities?  A former Governor doesn't think so.  Dr. Jeff Colyer believes current Governor Laura Kelly is asleep at the...

   College sports used to be all about the players and fans.  Now it's just a giant corporate machine run by an even bigger media corporation that's ruined everything from Mickey Mouse to Star Wars.  OU and Texas leaving the Big 12 and heading to the SEC isn't good for any fans anywhere.  And the powers that be, couldn't care less.    The Royals are surging behind Jorge Soler, Aaron Rodgers is rea...

   Thanks a million!    KKHI has over one million downloads in 10 months and we take a moment to thank all the listeners, patrons and sponsors.  There's also a surprise as I come clean that this whole venture terrified me and almost didn't happen.     Spencer joins us, too, as we talk a little football and conference realignment.  And the Royals have won five straight as a young pitcher has the be...

   The Big 12 had an emergency call with AD's and Presidents and OU and Texas skipped the call.  One admin on the call is speaking publicly without giving his name, we'll tell you what he said about it all.    The NFL's "mandate, non-mandate" for players to get the vax is all for show.  Collapsing on the field during training camp with a serious medical condition or even death is a much more serio...

   College athletics got a jolt when Texas A&M fed info to the Houston Chronicle that OU and Texas could be discussing leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.  A&M hates the idea.  So do most SEC schools and all the other Big 12 schools.  So what's going on here?  Well, there would be only one winner...  We tell you who it is.  And it isn't even OU or Texas.    Joe Biden's gaffe filled town hall has gone...

   Giannis scores 50 in a historic NBA Finals winner and almost 100,000 people take to the streets in Milwaukee.  Somehow it's good news there were only two shootings and three people shot... nobody died.     Did you even know the US Women's Soccer team started play in the Olympics before the opening ceremonies?  Well... they hope you didn't notice as America's woke team of social justice warriors...
