Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

As a conservative working in a liberal bubble, sports journalist Jason King was an outcast. Now he's with Outkick.com.  King has covered sports in the midwest and beyond for years but  almost quit the business because of the things he was asked to write about.  In this KKHI convo, King opens up about what he was asked to do, why he thought about leaving the biz and what it's like to be with Clay T...

It's pretty easy to see Kamala Harris being president sooner rather than later if Joe Biden wins, so this VP debate should actually matter.  The Chiefs are sandwiched between the Patriots and Raiders on the schedule and both those teams have new cases of Covid.  And  NBA commish Adam Silver apparently thinks all social justice causes are solved because he's taking BLM off the court and returning u...

We dive into the decision by the Park Hill South principal to have his volleyball players remove t-shirts that read, "Together we Rise".  Can I get a bet in Vegas that Trump doesn't lose by 14 points as a fraudulent poll shows?  And how does Patrick Mahomes stack up thus far to the other 4-0 quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen?

The Pats had a perfect game plan and mostly executed it.  The seemingly invincible Chiefs still won by 16 to become the first team in NFL history to start 4-0, four years in a row.  It's also 13 straight dating back to last year!

I'll be on KCMO Talk Radio each Monday at 11:00 to talk football, but somehow when me and Chris get going... it leads to all kinds of other stuff.  Enjoy it here if you missed it live.

The NFL has done a nice job handling this as the Chiefs and Pats are now scheduled to play Monday at 6:05.  Can you believe how many people were actually calling for this game to be cancelled?  Why?  I share my thoughts.   Also, the line on this game has moved to KC-11, it's hard to believe how fast the Chiefs have taken over the Patriots as the beast in the AFC.  President Trump continues to reco...

Spencer Kietzman Has Issues on the weekend, including the Chiefs/Pats postponement.  Also, ESPN featured Alex Charlton last week on College Gameday.  He's the football coach that left his program to be a nurse in the Covid unit in NY at the worst time of the pandemic.  Just so happens, Alex Charlton and Spencer have been the best of friends since they were toddlers.

President Trump and first lady Melania have tested positive for Covid-19, continuing a year that just gets more unbelievable.  It's unlikely this becomes a big medical issue, so we discuss what it means going forward with a month to election day. Some media on the left believe it could be a hoax or that if he has it and is just fine it will boost his campaign.  Their immediate reaction was not wha...

Grab a steak knife and fork and dig into some big bites of pigskin... it's the Football Feast with Stan Weber.  The NFL has a ratings problem and it's not all social justice causing it.  The Chiefs have a seriously big game with New England, if KC lets up and loses this thing, the Pats will be ahead for the one seed.  Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers have a tough game they can win Saturday at...

Lee Sterling was 6-6-1 last week for his first non-winning effort.  This week, he talks about his new gig on a national MMA podcast where he's been winning big and we talk Chiefs -7 v the Patriots and all our area college team point spreads. 

Depending on who you ask, the Chiefs opponent this week is either going to be great, or flop, this year.  We'll dive in on what challenge is ahead for the heavily favored Chiefs.  And Eli Drinkwitz and his Missouri Tigers will get a chance to show us what they are all about in their second game... at Tennessee.  Plus, the NFL is threatening fines for coaches not wearing masks so it looks good on t...

Ryan Derks, politically speaking, is trying to do the impossible.  Derks is a young Republican trying to beat Cleaver in Missouri's 5th for the U.S. House and he's got a new playbook.  He's not working for suburban votes, he's walking door to door and barbershop to barbershop to court black voters in KCMO where he has lived for years.  The big Dem Machine is pushing back hard and Derks is not happ...

Tim Fitzgerald has covered sports for over 35 years.  He's a business owner, dog lover, cancer survivor and just about the best multi media sports journalist you'll ever find.  In this episode, of course we'll talk some KSU football.  But Fitz will take us around the Big 12, cover Mizzou and Nebraska and even share some Mike Leach stories.  We even save time for his thoughts on a pair of his perso...

Your football fix includes Patrick Mahomes announcing he and his fiance are going to have a baby, creating KC's first family.  OT Eric Fisher had a wild explanation on the bench Monday of what it was like to catch a TD pass.  Also,  Aaron Rodgers has a secret trick to calling his own plays and a Royals nemesis gets rocked in the post season.

This was a free for all from the start and as we predicted, moderator Chris Wallace was all in against President Trump.  Two against one led to a WWE tag team match.

The Chiefs must have looked like a horror show to the 30 NFL coaches watching MNF, good luck stopping KC.  And longtime sportscaster and my professional mentor, Frank Boal talks about his passion for mountain climbing, the state of media today and those amazing Chiefs.

I'm done hearing comparisons about Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson like some sort of Brady v Manning thing.  Lamar Jackson is a mess as a pocket passer as KC continues its dominance of wannabe Baltimore while Mahomes has a game for the ages.  We should have known it was coming.  Chiefs are 3-0!

President Trump couldn't lose by calling for a drug test before or right after Tuesday's debate.  The media, of course, were going to gobble it up and Biden could never give in and do it.  But the seed is planted in what is another brilliant, instinctive political move by the President.  And have you seen Sharice David's T-shirt?  It's not new but I'd never seen it until a new commercial by challe...

The Chiefs and Ravens have a lot of pressure to deliver on all the hype for this huge AFC showdown... the one seed has never been more important.  Alex Gordon left the field for the final time Sunday, where he went next was one of the classiest things I've ever seen.  And what did we learn about Mizzou Saturday against Alabama?  We'll break it down along with K-state and KU.

Stan Weber was in Norman for K-State's win over #3 OU and shares his thoughts on the game.  Also, K.J. Costello throws for 623 yards and 5 TD's as Mississippi State beats LSU.  Quite a day for college football.

Well, it was bound to happen... Junior takes over the podcast for the weekend.  This is likely the best episode yet.  Sports. Politics. Life.  Don't believe everything he says about me but know that he and young pros like Riley Gates of 247sports.com will lead the next wave.  I published this without listening to all of it.  If he curses or does something bad... or if a miracle happens and you lik...

It's a huge football weekend with the SEC starting play and the Chiefs/Ravens topping it off with a Monday night matchup for the ages.  Stan breaks it down and we remember the great career of life long Royal Alex Gordon.

Kansas State Athletic Director Gene Taylor has his hands full.  Dozens of football players out BECAUSE of Covid, not WITH Covid.  Like everyone else, declining revenue and now some upset fans about the BLM logo on KSU's uniforms.  But you won't find anyone more open and honest to speak with... which makes him perfect for this conversation.  He's proud the Big 12 paved the way for CFB in 2020.

Paramount Sports' Lee Sterling is 3-0 on Thursday nights for KKHI Patrons and you can get his Thursday pick by signing up right now.  Sterling nailed his biggest play of the year last week when UCF clobbered Georgia Tech and he joins us to talk about the Chiefs/Ravens and other games that may or may not be part of his service.

The second biggest superstar in KC is just crushing it, does anyone notice?  Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson spent the offseason with a unique practice habit to fix his downfield passing, we dive in to whether it will work long term.  Cities all across the country had chaos Wednesday night after a grand jury ruled it's ok for cops to shoot back when fired upon.  Yes, you read that right.  And one...
