   It's a big weekend of races at www.kansasspeedway.com Saturday and Sunday and the sport has a record $7.7 billion media rights deal in hand.  Things are great, right?  Team owner Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player ever, says the whole thing could crumble and die if NASCAR doesn't work out a permanent deal with team owners like other sports have done.  Is he right or is he just trying to make more money?  It's unfortunate this is happening right around the races in KC.    The...

   Just when it looks like the Royals are fading, they amaze you.  And yes, their 19 wins already is nothing short of glorious.  They are a ridiculous 19-6 when they score more than one run!  But many fans can't see the games on tv right now as Comcast/Bally Sports are fighting over money.  We have your solution.    A lawmaker in Jackson County now wants a sales tax vote on the ballot in November... for the Chiefs only.  He maybe should have thought of that a year ago instead of trotting out...

   The Kansas House failed to even vote on a STAR bond proposal to fully finance the Chiefs and Royals before their session ended April 30 and there's a pretty understandable reason.  The veto happy Dem governor keeps getting in the way of tax cuts as the state operates at a massive surplus and until cuts are passed, lawmakers don't want to vote on sports teams.  It makes sense.  It's also nearly certain now a special session will be called by the governor as she's the only thing standing in...

   After 3 years of chaos between the Royals, Jackson County and KCMO, the state of Kansas is about to vote on new language in their STAR Bond laws that would finance 100% of a new stadium for the Chiefs and/or the Royals.  100 percent.  The catch?  Well... Kansas wants the project to cost at least $1 billion each  and have at least 30,000 seats.  This is swift and effective and there will be a deadline for the teams to take the money and run from Missouri.    So what a great time to have...

   Just as we first said when we saw the Chiefs release some stick figure renderings of a "reimagined" Arrowhead, the owner wants a shiny new stadium.  This weekend, as the team was putting together another stellar draft class,  Clark Hunt now says he has a "sense of urgency" as he parts ways with the Royals as a partner and is looking for a brand new stadium for his team.  Smart man.  May the best state win.    Sporting Manager Peter Vermes is just a flat out stud.  He believes in...

   The Chiefs got their perfect fit at wide receiver with the fastest player in the draft, Xavier Worthy out of Texas.  How in the world did this happen?  Well, the Buffalo Bills are idiots and should never have answered the phone when the Chiefs called about a trade.  It used to be teams on your division would never do business with you but let's ask the very real question:  Why would ANY team in the AFC trade with the Chiefs?  At the same time, the AFC was loading up on guards and tackles...

   The University of Texas is a liberal school in a liberal city but even they know how to deal with Hamas protesters and rioters.  The school president had over 30 people arrested on campus and released a strong statement saying this campus "will not be occupied."  Well played.    Joe Biden is somehow still our president even though the man literally can't read.  Wait until you hear about his latest gaffe trying to read a speech.    An excellent story in the KC Star explains just how...

   I've long argued spending a ton of draft capital on offensive linemen is a loser's strategy and now we have the data to prove it.  Wait until you hear the teams that emphasize OL in the draft versus teams that don't.  Spoiler alert, the Chiefs are nearly dead last in using draft capital on the line and have three trophies to show for it.    Bobby Witt Jr got a chance to be a hero after a Blue Jays error Tuesday night and he makes them pay.  The Royals snap a 3 game skid and our dear...

   The  NFL Draft begins Thursday night in Detroit and Andy Reid and Brett Veach will be making their picks with fat new contracts in tow.  Andy becomes the highest paid coach in NFL history and he's earned it.  Stan Weber will join us to talk about Mizzou, KSU and KU players in the draft and where the Chiefs may be going.    Mayor Q is trying to back off his comments asking for the overcrowded illegal alien centers in other cities to send those people here.  Oh, his Dem power brokers aren't...

   The Orioles really brought the Royals down to earth Saturday and Sunday and we're left hoping this is just a little bump in the road.    KU Athletics Director Travis Goff challenges Tim Fitzgerald of www.gopowercat.com to come to Lawrence for an interview about the football stadium renovation after Fitzgerald pointed out some uncomfortable things about the financing of the project.     A major league team and United Airlines are investing why and how a coach wound up in captains seat in...

   The popup ad that started playing in front of this podcast Wednesday was a surprise to me, too.  I'll explain fully what's going on and I'm asking for your input.    Conservative writer Jack Cashill at www.wnd.com has authored a column asking if the George Floyd era is over after he snapped a picture of a giant mural of Floyd on a building near his office being painted over.  You have to hear this.    It's too late for many suspended athletes from this past year but the federal government...

     Former Attorney General  William Barr is no fan of Donald Trump but says he'll vote for him in November.  Barr made the comments as he was speaking truth about the dangers of the Biden administration and weaponizing our justice system.  You gotta hear this.    The Kansas City Star writes a headline that makes it look like Josh Hawley stole campaign funds to buy himself a car and then explains in the story it was a business move that any Missouri voter would see as brilliant and...

   It hurts to say this but KCMO Mayor Quentin Lucas inviting illegal aliens unhappy in New York to set up shop in KC will likely get somebody killed.  And he's willing to spend tax dollars to make it happen while presiding over record murder rates he cannot fix.  While Mayor Q is three years behind other big city Mayors that are now changing their minds after failure, this man can't stand the idea of others moving ahead of him in the Democrat party.  So collateral damage be damned, Q is on...

   Donald Trump is on trial in New York for a crime not named because if they did name it exactly, it would be a misdemeanor and would be thrown out.  It's the weakest of all the trials and clearly political which makes me ask the question about one person missing from this topic who's sitting on the sidelines.  And it makes me really angry.    These pro Hamas protesters blocking roads to airports and closing the Golden Gate bridge should have the book thrown at them.  Lock them up and see...

   Greetings from Austin, Texas as we are wrapping up a visit to see my son and get a little sun.  We lock in on the brilliance of Scottie Scheffler's game at Augusta, the Royals falling in New York and a spectacle at Arrowhead Saturday night.    Then, a new poll show Americans remember the Trump years fondly.

   In our quest to promote Republican officials that drive the KC media absolutely crazy, today we chat with Mike Brown.    As the new chair of the GOP in Kansas, and his wife leading the Trump campaign in Kansas, this is a family affair.  Mike's just like a lot of us, a real radical that wants to enforce laws already on the books and make sure we have free and fair elections.      But what really stirs the dems is Mike just won't back down.  Compromise isn't very high on his list of priorities.

   Make it 6 in a row for the Royals who blow out the Astros on a night that all 9 starters scored at least one run and Vinnie Pasquantino broke out of his early season slump with a homer and 4 rbi.  Seth Lugo gave up 2 in 6 innings and the bullpen makes it 19 innings in a row without allowing a run.  What the heck is going on here?    Former Royal Jaime Bluma joins us to talk about the hot streak and the one time reliever gives his thoughts on whether the pen is legit or just hot.    We also...

   With a bombshell column by a journalist at National Public Radio describing a place where journalism has died and liberal activism has taken over, it's a reminder we must defund and end public broadcasting. Your tax dollars pay for over $600 million a year to fund NPR and PBS and we've now learned that NPR has 87 registered dems working there and no registered Republicans.     A democrat in Texas speaking to high school students before the eclipse set an unreachable new bar for stupidity...

   From record tv ratings to watch the sensational Caitlin Clark and a 38-0 South Carolina team led by controversial Dawn Staley,  to Dan Hurley's historic back to back titles at UCONN, this March was one for the record books.  It was filled with greatness but was also filled with individuals that many fans love to hate making this all one perfect storm.    The Royals have to be better than their record because they lead the American League in so many statistical categories.  Wait until you...

   Well, what do you know?  The Royals are on fire with a four game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, a team with far too many former Royals to be taken seriously.  But Royals pitchers give up only 5 runs in four games and that's insane.  This is fun.    The owner's wife took to Facebook to just beat up on Jackson County, Missouri after the failed stadium vote.  Marny Sherman says the Royals and Chiefs are both DONE with Jackson County officials.  Uh oh.    As the National Title game...

   Before Gary Lezak joins us with everything you need to know about Monday's solar eclipse, we dive into a few tasty issues including Mayor Q's proclamation that KCMO will be home to the Royals and Chiefs in 2040 and beyond.    The Royals just crush the White Sox Thursday night behind more great starting pitching.    Rashee Rice admits he was driving the Lamborghini in that crash last Saturday.  Dems stop registration drives according to a leaked memo.  Oregon is "re" criminalizing drugs as...

   The Royals have a season crushing problem in their bullpen.  This team has starting pitching, superstars in the lineup and absolutely no ability to hold a lead.  Will Smith looks like a middle reliever, not a closer, and we don't care what the team promised him.  If you want to be taken seriously, sign former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer and convert him to closer.  Bauer has been completely exonerated of any crime and MLB says he can play.  What on earth are the Royals waiting on?  Is this...

   The stadium vote for the Royals to go downtown just got crushed by voters 58-42 and you not only respect the outcome, you have tip your cap they got it right.  The Royals plan was a mess, residents downtown didn't want it and residents in the suburbs are afraid to go to games downtown in liberal America's record crime wave.  This was a perfect storm anybody could see.    The KC Star is freaking out that Lee's Summit has two new school board members after Tuesday's election that want to...

   It's hard to tell who's in more trouble, Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice or Kansas City media.  Columnist Toriano Porter of the KC Star completely botches an opinion piece, sports guys ignore any crime and start trashing the NFL for likely wanting to suspend Rice and a podcaster's video on X, well, fans didn't want to hear it.  So here we are again with local media doing the Chiefs work for them in order to protect their access and press passes to Super Bowls.  Go figure.     RFK jr is...
