We use the word "history" way too much in sports media. But Monday night was historic at Allen Field House over the most dramatic regular season three hours in years. We got a sad little whiny superstar sitting out sick, a staffer on press row texting that Darryn Peterson said, "Eff it" to playing and a wildly enthusiastic Bill Self after knocking off the number one team in the country. Oh, this made up for all the lack of fun at Super Bowl 60.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark was at the game and says big changes are coming to the Big 12 tourney. Are they about to pay players for performance?
Bad Bunny's halftime show would NEVER have been allowed in English, that's for sure. So why doesn't the FCC go after the NFL/NBC hard for all the violations in Spanish. It could be happening.
175,000 KC residents are now eligible to get their Amazon packages delivered by drones from KCK. Americans gobbled up a record amount of been in 2025. Kid Rock hits #1 on the charts while a lesser known artist records an anti-Sprinsteen song for the ages.
The Royals do the cheapest thing ever and a small plane lands on traffic filled road in Georgia and the pilot must have been very hungry.
It was a rough weekend for patriotic Americans if you turned on your tv to watch the Olympics or the Super Bowl. What used to be events that showcase the excellence and pride of the greatest nation in history were anything but that this year as it seems people just want to hate the country Trump leads.
The Kansas Jayhawks phoned in a win over Utah on Saturday and now host the undefeated, #1 team in the country Monday night and we all know how this will go.
At just 34 years old, former Royal Terrence Gore passes away from complications during what was supposed to be a routine surgery. The Super Bowl was a bad game and the halftime show was even worse. It was clearly an NFL season to forget for Kansas Citians.
Before we tackle the big game, we ask Stan what the Chiefs can learn from watching the Seahawks and Patriots and how they got here for Super Bowl 60. His answer will surprise you, not because it's detailed and thorough. It's because it involves asking Patrick Mahomes to be different kind of quarterback as we start KC 2.0.
As you may know, Stan famously created a mathematic, interesting and fun board game decades ago that plugs in an entire season's stats so he can play teams against each other with his friends the entire off season. He's played a bunch of games between Seattle and New England and he will share his results.
As analyst for the K-State Network, Stan has been courtside for most of the really good teams in the Big 12 and he will rank them in order for us. Spoiler... KU is really climbing.
And he shares what it will take for the Missouri Tigers to make the NCAA Tourney.
NBC Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie, along with her brother and sister, recorded and released a video where they appeal to possible kidnappers that they are willing to listen about a ranson for their mom Nancy, but they need proof of life. It was one of the most real, raw, shocking and heartbreaking videos you've ever seen in your life. This story had all the markings of being historic right from the beginning and it has now captured the attention of an entire nation.
President Trump called Savannah Guthrie and told her he is throwing the full support of all federal agencies into the investigation as it appears authorities at all levels believe there is a chance Nancy is still alive. This could be so many things.
In sports, I've got one player that is more important than any other in Sunday's Super Bowl and have some some easy to understand numbers that back it up.
Then, are you ready for some silly and fun action at your watch party? Lee Sterling is here to help us out from the national anthem time to passing yards for qb's. Only the Super Bowl.
And our Final Final is a building being torn down that matters a great deal to my family.
The Olathe City Council approved a 165 acre area for a local STAR bond district to be the new corporate home and practice facility for the Kansas City Chiefs. This was a no-brainer for Olathe. Officials held a meeting in WYCO as well on Tuesday and will vote to approve their local area for STAR bonds on Thursday. They say it's small and only includes the new Chiefs area. We'll see how bit the state of Kansas bond district is somewhere down the road.
It's ticking me off that KSU media and fans are just now on board with what I told them three years ago... Jerome Tang is an awful basketball coach. Nothing personal, I wouldn't be any good at it either. But with an $18 million buyout, these people are focusing on the wrong man. AD Gene Taylor is the person that should be fired and they should cut off all funding to Tang and let him lose horribly for at least another year. Oh, I've got the right plan for KSU but who knows if anyone in charge is ballsy enough to pull the trigger. And all the KSU media types that have ripped me for three years over this... I accept your apology.
It wouldn't be Super Bowl week without a grandpa Mahomes alcohol arrest, a Lions fan seems to have a legitimate lawsuit against a whole bunch of people that have given him the Jussie Smollet treatment. There's a crime podcaster reporting a new break in the Nancy Guthrie mystery. Chris Cuomo comes clean on complete botching his Covid coverage and a new steakhouse is coming to KC that I'm betting is a better night out than 1587.
The mystery around the abduction of Nancy Guthrie from her bed while she slept sounds worse with every passing hour. NBC's Savanah Guthrie has released a statement of hope even as authorities say they found blood and signs of a struggle in the home. We don't know a motive and they haven't named a person of interest. This is awful.
A whole bunch of singers said crazy things about ICE and such at the GRAMMY Awards Sunday but one in particular stands out as the dumbest. Now she may get visitors to her house taking her up on her offer that there are no borders and nobody is illegal on any property. This could get good.
Dan Bongino returns to podcasting and made a statement that's as lame as his work at the FBI.
In sports, the Royals have a new tv deal that should work out for you. KU is rolling as Darryn Peterson drops two huge three pointers at the end of the game at Tech. But Flory was the story of this one as KU's defense is just ridiculous right now. Watch out for this team!
Mizzou has two McDonald's All Americans for the first time. Kelvin Sampson laments the current rules of transfer and NIL, Roger Goodell is asked about Bad Bunny playing halftime and former Royal Chris Getz is now GM of the White Sox and announces an interesting change he made in the plumbing of the team's locker room. It's our Final Final and you have to hear this.
So much buildup and so little sizzle as Mayor Q is a panelist on CBS Face the Nation and I'm really disappointed. We were hoping he'd be asked about KC being the per capita homeless capital of America or his police chief declaring "drastic" measures to cutback the force because the budget is whacked. Instead, he almost got edited out completely.
The word around the cowtown is the Chiefs will be announcing the exact location of their new stadium this week... we'll tell you where the smart money is. Meanwhile, the Royals say they will be announcing their decision sooner than later where they are going.
NBA coach Steve Kerr has been forced to apologize for his outrageous lies about the Trump administration and ICE. It was real. But another coach won't back off and is worried ICE will start kidnapping international players and sending them home. What a fool.
KU star Darryn Peterson sits again after KU built a huge lead over BYU. He's healthy for tonight's game so maybe this was something else. I have a new theory.
Mark Turgeon is the new basketball coach at Kansas City (UMKC) and this is a great hire. Goalies throw down at center ice and one of the world's most famous musicians makes a video in the middle of the Tallgrass Prairie reserve in the Flint Hills.
What if I told you there's a conservative broadcaster that owns his own media company and is seen as a controversial outsider by members of old school, liberal media and politicians? What if he was the kind of plain spoken truth teller unafraid of what anyone thinks?
If we aren't talking about your humble host, you'd probably think this would be a really great person to have on KKHI.
Meet Scott Faughn, publisher of www.themissouritimes.com. He just purchased three more newspapers in Missouri and has his finger on the pulse of everything going on in the Show-Me state. He knows the governor well. And yes, he's a Cardinals fan. You may even hear us spar over the 1985 World Series a smidge. But we also talk about no income tax, the state of life in KC vs. St. Louis and Trump's tariffs upsetting Missouri farmers. You're going to enjoy this one
A new video of left wing agitator Alex Pretti was released by the BBC and it shows Pretti spitting at federal agents, screaming eff you's, flipping the bird and kicking out the tail lights of their car. Peaceful protest indeed. Pretti, carrying a gun, was taken to the ground and according to CNN suffered a broken rib. Amazingly, the didn't see the gun and let him go. Agents drove away. It's no wonder these thugs think they can get away with anything.
Bruce Springsteen has a new song for the people of Minneapolis and my inbox is filling up with listeners that are deleting him from the playlists.
Mayor Q says on radio that he was listening to our reporting about the Royals on Tuesday and I"m actually very happy for him. If a mayor found a way to get baseball downtown without a public vote, he deserves a statue at the new park.
Vahe Gregorian of the KC Star pens a piece on why he didn't vote for Bill Belichick for the Hall of Fame, the very first person to admit it. When you hear his reason, you will understand just how different liberals and conservatives are in the way they think.
Adam Schefter reports Gardner Minshew is 100% healthy and never did blow out his ACL. That means something bad was going on with the Chiefs, or their doctors.
And gentlemen, we're about to share something with you that isn't available anywhere but KC. Its a new concept called www.flexcaves.com and its a place for business, storing a car or boat or having your weekly poker game and smoking cigars in a condo-like storage unit. They break ground this year in Martin City and Brett Johnson is here to explain why he thinks his ideas will be a huge hit.
What if the Royals played everyone here and were actually the smartest, most brilliant business tacticians in all of this Kansas City stadium drama? It's either that or they are the luckiest outfit ever. We'll let you decide but there's no denying 5 years ago the Royals said they were getting a new stadium and they wanted it downtown. When that failed at every turn, did they use Overland Park and Kansas officials for leverage to get what they wanted? Did they let the Chiefs move first, something they know doubt knew was in the works, to let the freak out happen? It's possible. If not... wow were they lucky.
Hey, turns out Alex Pretti was known to the feds as a problem... we have some details. Also in Minneapolis, an agitator confronts Ilhan Omar and, get this, the Minneapolis local police arrest the guy. Go figure.
Bill Belichick fails to get the vote to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame and it shows just how absurd and petty the committee members are. The Chiefs name two local architecture firms working to design their new stadium. I don't think it's a competition. Darryn Peterson is ready to rock Saturday against BYU and their star freshman AJ Dybansta. K-State has a buyout problem with Jerome Tang, Mizzou gets drilled at Alabama.
A billionaire is paying our Olympic athletes and a man in New Jersey is ordered by his wife to return expensive orange juice to the store and it turns out your wife always knows best. You have to hear this Final Final.
According to Missouri lawmaker Mike Jones, KC Mayor Quinton Lucas has $500 million in the Port KC slush fund that he's offering the Royals to build a ball park in KCMO. Jones says this should require a vote... but that isn't how this game is played. There was no vote in Kansas. Give Q credit for finding a way, even if it feels wrong. And if this number is true, the Missouri offer could actually top the Kansas offer.
In Kansas, the Senate Democrats Chief of Staff has told people in his circle the Royals to Overland Park is a "done deal," but the announcement has to wait. Information obtained by KKHI shows that Cory Sheedy believes the city of Overland Park and T-Mobile are delaying the inevitable move. This would all make sense as the mortgage holder of the land has told T-Mobile they will not be renewing the lease when it expires. The Royals and OP, at all cost, must not allow 5000 T-Mobile jobs leave KC and relocate to Bellevue, Washington. This is tricky,
Tom Homan is on the ground in Minneapolis and set to meet with the Mayor to calm down the insanity in that city.
Andy Reid basically fired Matt Nagy and now he's lobbying to get him hired because Nagy is a "gem." The Royals sign a deal with Circa Sports Book for premium experiences with the team and at Kauffman Stadium. We have some tasty Super Bowl nuggets for you, a moment of silence at a hockey game goes wrong and the daredevil climber on Netflix last weekend got ripped off.
The problems in Minneapolis are created by leaders that are more than willing to sacrifice their own voters going to prison, getting injured or in extreme cases of attacking federal agents, getting killed. How is it that democrats break the law and act like those laws shouldn't be followed... and somehow that inspires people? This whole thing is insane.
Maybe not as insane as the man that climbed a skyscraper with no ropes or safety devices, live on Netflix. Wow was this hard to watch.
KU closes strong to beat a really awful KSU team as we predicted they would. But the huge celebration was a little beneath their once great status. Mizzou made history with a pair of buzzer beaters in a wild win over OU. Two former high school athletes from KC made huge news with the best game by a college player this year while the other make the Olympic bobsled team.
And Stan has a few minutes for us today to talk about Andy Reid's coaching hires and the NFL Championship games from Sunday.
Predicting what Trump will do next is a whole lot easier than predicting sports. Our president finished up Greenland, laid waste to the globalists at Davos and now turns his attention to Canada and their terribly disrespectful Prime Minister. Welcome to the next great theater.
Arrests have been made of the bullies that ended that church service in St. Paul a few days ago and guess what, they are paid professionals to organize such events. And its very, very illegal to interfere with worship. And these could be double hate crimes as they were chanting slurs about white people. But Don Lemon claims he was just a journalist there and so far, the courts agree he shouldn't be charged. Here we go!
A famous rapper sues the KCPD, Missouri officials (rightfully) meet in secrecy in Jeff City to try to save the Royals from leaving to Kansas. I'll preview the NFL title games and Bill Self is back on the court at Bramlage Saturday night... we hit on some KU-KSU hoops.
Then, I play a clip of my friend www.dannyclinkscale.com as we had quite a discussion on a Patron's Podcast Thursday. One of our topics was Carlos Beltran into the Baseball Hall of Fame. You won't believe how much Danny dislikes this.
And our Final Final is Mr. Wonderful turning to acting. It's true.
Let's call all the work president Trump is doing in Davos "Sovereignty over Globalism" as he tears down the old world order of socialist ideals. Greenland...check. Peace Board... check. Cancel Gavin Newsom's speech... check. This has been an incredible beat down of all the things wrong in Europe, with NATO and with he open border, climate freak crowd. I'm so happy.
We also have learned a story that Barron Trump is a hero of sorts as a friend of his credits him with saving her life last year. You have to hear this story.
Bill Self is back to work and was on the air of his weekly radio show Wednesday night. He's coaching Saturday in Manhattan and we have the latest on his health and the Darryn Peterson ankle injury.
KU and KSU's football schedules were released yesterday and they are polar opposites. One looks exactly like Mizzou's schedule last year, the other looks like KSU's. We'll sort it out for you.
Missouri lawmakers are deciding if they want to cancel proposition bets on college athletes. I hope they do and I'll explain why.
And our Final Final is the ultimate outlaw fishing charter from a company named Outlaw Fishing Charters.
Air Force One experiences electrical problems after takeoff to Switzerland and turns around to Andrews Air Base. All is well but the big plane is grounded and Trump and the press had to take two different planes to Switzerland. That's where Trump is expected to unload on the globalists and they may have already had enough after hearing from Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick the first day.
A famous sports reporter announces she is running for US Senate, this could work. A young, uninformed, crazy liberal on CNN step in it big time saying it's provably true that Trump was part of a sex trafficking ring. This could be a lawsuit... soon.
Jacque Vaughn wins for KU filling in for Bill Self at CU. It looked just like a Bill Self win... great defense late and a couple huge baskets. We update Self's condition as his return should be soon.
KC gets very good news about which World Cup teams will be based in our area. A Chiefs player is selling his car online because he's broke after making $2 million this past season. There is NFL news about a new schedule. Former Royal Carlos Beltran is the leading vote getter and makes the baseball Hall of Fame while Alex Gordon gets only one vote.
Our Final Final is an incredible collection of historical documents coming to KC for America 250.
For the third time in 33 months, KU coach Bill Self has been taken to the hospital with a heart condition. Self has had an aortic valve replacement, at least two procedures with stents and has worn a PICC line while coaching. The team departed for a game at Colorado without the Hall of Fame coach and we'll break down where they turn and what this all means.
Meanwhile, what's old is new again with the Chiefs as Andy Reid is bringing back Eric Bieniemy as OC. I hate this and if my emails are any indication, so do the fans.
Fernando Mendoza and his Indiana Hoosiers win the national title as the most celebrated college player in the land has a td run for the ages.
In Minneapolis, ICE is turning the table on the agitators in a way you're going to love. America has eyed Greenland since at least 1867 and Trump is going to get what he wants. And import/export numbers for the USA are insanely good and historic.
An elephant is killing people in India and is the CBS Evening News really trying to be better?
It's time to tell the truth about Denmark and Greenland. The Danes mistreated the land and the people in horrific ways until about 30 years ago. Scott Bessent is talking about it and you're likely to get a heavy dose of facts from people in Greenland that hate Denmark.
A murder at The Hawk in Lawrence is just a total shocker and stupid tragedy. We have the latest details of what went wrong.
A friend gave me the greatest idea ever for how to repurpose the Truman Sports Complex. You'll love it. Crazies storm a church in St. Paul, Minnesota with their anti-ICE chants. Wow.
The NFL didn't disappoint this weekend with two great playoff games, one very good one and one dud. And what do you know? The Chiefs and Patriots AFC title game appearance streak continues.
KU smokes Baylor and looks like they are figuring a lot of things out while Mizzou falls to LSU. KSU is so bad the only discussion is about when Jerome Tang gets fired.
Sporting KC has a new owner, England wants it's World Cup soccer operation in KC as a home base and 1500 men call the same phone number seeking companionship.
What an epic pod today as a psychotherapist has gone public and let everyone know that Trump Derangement Syndrome is real and he's seeing it in 75% of the patients he works with. This is astounding, you have to hear it and it explains so much.
Patrick Mahomes met with the media and says he's got a week one target date to play and opened up like he's shopping for a new Offensive Coordinator.
The Stanley Cup champs pay tribute to Trump at a White House visit that has dems losing their minds.
Stan Weber joins us as we are running out of football segments with our great analyst. First, we tackle what Andy Reid needs to do with his staff this off season and what this looks like going forward. Then, grab your spreadsheets, Stan's going to give you the best previews/predictions for the NFL playoffs and the College Football National Championship game.
Our Final Final is another story of just how hard we are working now to promote conservative values in America.
An ICE agent is attacked while trying to detain an illegal alien criminal in Minnesota and it was three on one. He's in the hospital and fired a shot a wounded the original suspect. That suspect is in custody as are the other two that came at the agent with a snow shovel or long tool handle. It's getting worse for politicians asking people to resist Trump.
A KC media outlet posts the locations of all ICE agents in the city, presumably so agitators could go hassle them while another outlet cries foul that the feds are looking into a reporter that's working with a person committing serious crimes to get her information.
That detention center for criminal aliens coming to KC is getting people riled up, but the dirty business dealing behind it is really nuts.
Josh Hawley has changed his mind on the War Powers act vote as Trump now has a clear path to do what he wants.
In Sports, it appears John Harbaugh will be the next coach of the Giants. Mizzou heats up after a slow start to take down Auburn and Jerome Tang is the worst coach in the Big 12. The NCAA has made good changes to the transfer portal and an ESPN announcer makes the strangest race claim I've ever heard. So sad.
I get to share something today I never thought I'd be able to say out loud. Alex Smith was my best information source about everything I ever knew about how Andy Reid coaches, hires and fires and thinks. On Tuesday, Smith let out what I've been saying about Andy and his staff and his OC's for years. It's good stuff and you want to hear this. Also, we'll play a clip from Smith on exactly why he dislikes the Denver Broncos and thinks they are a terrible #1 seed.
The Royals are moving the walls in for Bobby Witt Jr and a whole bunch more homers at the K and they explain why this will lead to more wins.
KU just destroys Iowa State at Allen Field House and everyone got to see what's possible with this year's team. We explore the big question... was this a one off or can this be repeated night in and night out?
We saw two Trumps on Tuesday, one exuberant about economic news another flipping off a heckler. Oh my.
There was a full on ICE freak out in KC as hundreds of ICE vehicles are parked in a giant lot in the Northland reportedly belonging to Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Oh, and we're building a detention facility! Yes, yes and yes. More, more and more please.
A famous Kansas City company is livid with the restaurant owned by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for being fraudulent and cheap. This is a tasty story.
The far left media take terrible pot shots at Dilbert creator Scott Adams who died at age 68.
Celebs are getting arrested and our Final Final is some bad news for Obamacare.

Great podcast.
Great podcast, I have some ideas for growing your subscriber base. You had the best local radio show for years and I'm sure a lot of people would listen if they knew about your podcast.
Glad to hear your analysis! Missed you bro!
