Arresting Conversation
It’s another high energy and smile-filled banter session as we dive into Scottie Scheffler’s event-filled Friday, the rollout of the Chiefs schedule, the Royals long term viability, trivia fun and other enjoyable detours. Come on along!
Reloading and Reflecting
Our NFL draft friend and expert is Jesse Newell of the KC Star, diving into a weekend of reloading for the Chiefs. I'll check out the rest for you as the Royals hit a speed bump in Detroit and Sporting does the same in Minnesota, Current keeps rolling, NBA and NHL playoffs and more. Let's dive in!
Local Outhouse, Others in the Penthouse
It was a sad sack Saturday locally as Kansas got drilled by Gonzaga, and Sporting KC spit up a lead in losing. Bill Self and Peter Vermes will weigh in. But there was electrifying entertainment to be found elsewhere in the Big Dance, the Chiefs make their Sneed trade, the Royals are ready, an emotional golf win for Mizzou’s Malnati, and more. Enjoy!
Super Adaptive Achiever
A compelling Super Bowl connection as we catch back up with Matt Bollig. His KC Chiefs wheelchair football team just fell short of three straight championships this week in the 2024 national title game. An enjoyable update, and inspirational reprise of his KC Profiles conversation.
History and His Story
On the eve of the playoffs, it's a perfect time to reprise our conversation just before the season with Rustin Dodd. The KC native and writer for The Athletic released his book "Kingdom Quarterback" in August. A great read, it adroitly combines Kansas City history with Patrick Mahomes story. An absorbing conversation on multiple levels. Enjoy!
Turning Up and Feeling the Heat
It was no work of art, but the Chiefs bag a vital win against the Patriots. Multiple issues still on board to break down there. The statements were made elsewhere in the NFL, with more teams looking dangerous, even as defense continue to rise up. Great analysis and good fun!
Angst and Opportunity
Controversy rules a wild weekend that we probe and discuss. The Chiefs drop a thriller in Green Bay, and the college football playoff selections are a mess after Championshiop Saturday, while the locals get their bowl destinations. Join us for all of it!
Shaking it Off, and Shaking it Up
A fascinating weekend in both the NFL and college. The Chiefs shrug off a slow start, Missouri and Kansas dominate, and the snow bowl goes against the 'Cats. Great analysis and lots of fun!
Bouncing Back and Looking Ahead
Not surprisingly, the Chiefs reacted to their lackluster preseason opener by stomping the Cards and Patrick Mahomes weighs in on that, the Royals are competitive but W's aren't there as Witt sizzles, compelling golf, Messi, and more!
Historical Perspectives and a Personal Path
An enjoyable conversation with the former reporter for the Kansas City Star, and currently senior writer for The Athletic, and now the co-author with Mark Dent of "Kingdom Quarterback". The book has dual narratives combining KC history along with the story of the Chiefs star QB. An engaging chat about Rustin's life and times and the new project.
