Political Pinch Hitters Save Day, Biden Sets Land Mines for Trump, Mahomes Full Go at Practice, Kelce Retirement Tip, Gruden Shares Andy Story, Tang Slammed in KC

   It's a whole new world where our mostly incompetent politicians need outside help to get things done like a baseball team needs a pinch hitter or relief pitcher.  Congressman Cleaver was so embarrassed in front of his fellow Tax Gone Wild Dem friends in DC that he had to broker a deal to make Jackson County spend $70 million worth of 3 year old covid money.  Oh, and Elon Musk came off the bench to shut down Congress from a pay raise filled resolution.  What clowns these bodies are.
  Joe Biden is setting one land mine after another to handcuff Trump in his first few months.
  Patrick Mahomes is a full go, again, at practice and we have no idea why people are talking about him NOT playing.  Travis Kelce hints at retirement on his podcast.  Jon Gruden tells a phenomenal Andy Reid story and we will play it for you.  And K-State hoops coach Jerome Tang, in KC, was in the wrong place and the wrong time to make excuses and bash his fan base.

Mahomes Should Play, Tang Complains to Deaf Ears, New Trump Just Counts Wins, Jax Co Spending Chaos, NY Mayor Drone Info, Hawley Rips NCAA

   What's up with all the Chiefs fans that want Patrick Mahomes to sit it out on Saturday?  It's shocking really as Mahomes has described this "mild" ankle sprain as less of an injury than he's had in the past.  Saturday's game is huge for KC... He needs to play.
   K-State is 6-4 this hoops season after losing in OT at T-Mobile Center in KC to Drake.  After the game, coach Jerome Tang and a couple players complained they are receiving unfair criticism.  Boo hoo.
   A fair assessment of President Trump as he meets with the biggest business leaders in the world is all he cares about now is piling up wins.  It feels like they are coming.
   Jackson County has a whopping $70 million in Covid money to spend and can't figure out how and Josh Hawley unloads on the president of the NCAA at a Senate hearing.

Trump Has the Answers, Van Jones Calls Him The GOAT, Biden's Team "Frantically" Scrambling, Mahomes Injury Sounds Mild, Mizzou Doubles Tix Price, Randy Moss Tribute

   You've heard the saying, "that guy has all the answers" and it's always used as an insult:  Except for Trump, who apparently does have all the answers.  He sure showed that off at his news conference Monday.
   Former Obama official Van Jones has spoken the truth and it must have been liberating.  Jones says Trump is the smartest and greatest president of our lifetime and is exploring how and why and what Dems can do to bottle up some of his magic.  Amazing.
   Members of Joe Biden's National Security team are having a hard time finding new jobs and it's creating "depression" as they "frantically" search for a soft landing.
   Patrick Mahomes injury doesn't sound nearly as bad as feared, so what's going on here?  Mizzou football is doubling the price of many tickets and the average price is going up over 50%.  And a touching tribute occurred Monday for legendary receiver Randy Moss as he fights cancer.
 

Mahomes Injured in Chiefs Win, Questions Remain, Buffalo Won't Go Away, KU and MU Strong, Trump Beats ABC, Kansas CEO Has Drone Theory

   The Chiefs took the ball away from the Cleveland Browns 6 times Sunday while playing clean on offense.  Not efficient... clean.  KC had no turnovers and no sacks despite constant pounding on Patrick Mahomes who left the game with an ankle injury.  It was an easy win and that's different.  But so many questions remain about where the Chiefs are headed.
   Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills rolled into Detroit and shredded the Lions for 48 points in a game they led the entire day.  KC is going to almost certainly going to need to win 2 of its last 3 games to keep the #1 seed.
   KU bounced back from their rough road week and Mizzou gets another easy win to make it nine in a row.  This is getting good.
   Trump sued fake news ABC and Political Director George Stephanopoulos and the corporation caved and agrees to pay Trump $15 million and all his legal bills.  That's not even the best part.  Trump wins in style... wait until you hear where he made them donate the money.
   The CEO of a Kansas Drone manufacturer has a wild theory about the drones in New Jersey and I've got something to share with you about your birthday.

Trump's Greatest Hits, KC Star Targets Butker, Argentina's Amazing Recovery, Chiefs Get Healthier, Belichick Has College Plan, UFC Fighter Hits LeBron, Holiday Steals and Deals

Assassin Reax Outrageous, Drone Mystery Smells, Caitlin Clark Sells Out, Mahomes Milestone, Burrow Burglarized, Hoops Recruiting Shocker, CFP Leak is Funny

   The aftermath from the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO is becoming a bigger story than the assassination itself and that is just sickening.  The shooter is now a hero in some circles and Senator Elizabeth Warren has even justified what he did.  You have to hear this... and... what happened to Nancy Mace at her office on Tuesday.  These poeple on the left are dangerous.
   We now have 7000 unidentified drone flights around our borders and the FBI says they don't know what it is.  Really?  This smells like a coverup and people are getting scared and want to know what's going on.
   Caitlin Clark wins a great award but it comes with doing a long interview and she has stepped in it big time with her comments about being white in a black league.
   Patrick Mahomes has another crazy stat to celebrate, Joe Burrow's house has now been burglarized and the head of the College Football Playoff is mad that his bracket got leaked.

Changed World Returns American Greatness, Smart Shooter Really Stupid, Gaetz to TV, Mizzou Loves Getting Fined, No Mahomes on Netflix?, ASU Coach Breaks the Mold, Congress Eyes NCAA

   It's crazy how much change there has been in America and around the world since Donald Trump was elected.  As Trump is basically acting as president, everyone everywhere seems to have stepped up their game.
   The smart, cocky rich kid that allegedly killed the CEO of United Health Care sees himself as something special.  But the truth is he's really stupid.  You'll only hear what his dumbest mistake was right here on this podcast.
   Former congressman Matt Gaetz is reportedly heading to tv for his next career, we have the details.
  The Mizzou athletic department gets fined for allowing students to storm the court.  The SEC has this policy all wrong but it feels so right.
   The Chiefs winning and Bills losing Sunday has Netflix a little freaked out that they could have a Christmas Day game without Patrick Mahomes.
   Arizona State's coach is doing something with his players that will shock you as they get ready for the College Playoffs.  A sportscaster is friends with speaker Mike Johnson and says Congress may fix the NCAA.  Oh, brother.  And Monday Night Football has a cuter love story than Trav and Tay.

Doink: Chiefs Win 9th Straight West Title, Bills Defense Implodes in Loss, Mizzou Shocks KU, Bowl Games Set, CFP Bracket Looks Good, Record Vegas Wager

   Blocked kicks, fumbled snaps and now a doink off the left upright and the Chiefs are AFC West Champs for the 9th straight year.  Amazing.  This was a really, really good win as the Chargers are a tricky matchup for KC.  And we saw something that's been missing all year.
   The Bills hit the road against the Rams and their defense was just awful making this a fabulous Sunday for the Chiefs and their chances of the top seed in the AFC.  They are in the drivers seat now.
   In Columbia, the Missouri Tigers shocked us all by racing out to a 24 point lead over KU with great defense.  You read that right, defense.  If the Tigers can defend like this, they've got something really good going on.  KU has now, incredibly, lost 8 of their last 9 road games.
   Mizzou and KSU have their bowl games set and the College Football Playoff loves a darling in the Big 12 while shunning Alabama and Miami.  Gotta love it.
   And our Final Final is the largest sports wager in Vegas history.

Mayor Q Lives for Perks, DOGE Meets Resistance, Chiefs Go for 9th Straight, KU/MU Showdown Sunday, Lee Sterling PIcks, Song of Week

   Mayor Q's idol, Barack Obama, would be so proud of all the slimy little grifts going on with our wanna be celebrity mayor.  Nothing illegal here as The Independent chronicles how our mayor flies to Europe and goes to Super Bowls with it breaking the "ban on gifts" rules.  And while it's juicy reading, it's the part we don't know that would really get this mayor in big trouble.
   The DOGE warriors met with lawmakers in DC and several conservative members left the meetings optimistic about what they can do through executive order but believe Congress won't go along with almost anything else.
   The Chiefs go for AFC West title number 9 in a row Sunday night against the Chargers.  We have the full preview.  KU and MU lace 'em up Sunday in Columbia and www.dannyclinkscale.com has some thoughts on what it will look like.  Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has our weekly picks and I didn't even tell him about the sweet surprise today.... our Song of the Week is Lee's daughter Brooke singing the Star Spangled Banner before a Chicago Bears game.  This pod has it all.
