Kansas City Sports Monitor

The Royals made some big news this week with a trade for Andrew Benintendi.

We have seen all three local colleges play this week, Kansas twice. Missouri had a bad one. Kansas won back-to-back games for the first time since early January. And even though Kansas State lost, they played much better than we have seen most of the season.

The Super Bowl is slowly coming into view. We are just a few days away. There is always talk from one player or another, and with nothing else for the media to talk about, things get way overblown. I’m going to talk about what exactly this Super Bowl means to Patrick Mahomes, the other players, the coaches, the franchise, and the city. And it means a lot.

I’ll also discuss the Kansas win over Kansas State on Tuesday, and the Missouri win over Kentucky on Wednesday.

Can the Browns beat the Chiefs? They won 11 games in the regular season and put up 48 points in a playoff win over Pittsburgh last weekend. But can they beat the Chiefs? I’ll give you my opinion.

I also have some other NFL news along with college football and a little from Major League Baseball.

Thanks for joining me for the Thursday night podcast episode.

It’s a New Year’s Eve (Eve) episode of the Kansas City Sports Monitor!

The Chiefs are going to rest some players this weekend. I will tell you what we know.

We have one week left in the NFL regular season. I discussed the playoff picture.

Excuses were flying for Florida just minutes into their game against Oklahoma tonight. I want to explain my view of the opt-out, sit-out, and the leave early crowd.

The Royals signed a free-agent pitcher.

The San Diego Padres are making big moves for starting pitching, and the traditional baseball media is whining that more teams aren’t doing the same. I will explain the problems with those arguments.

In college basketball recently, Missouri lost big to Tennessee, and Kansas State just got by Omaha. Let’s discuss these games.

The MLS could be headed for labor problems.

And ESPN+ is increasing its price.

It’s a full episode of the Kansas City Sports Monitor. What a way to end 2020.

Kansas faced a tough challenge on the road to start Big 12 play and the Jayhawks pulled it out. I’ll talk about that game. Let’s also look at the NFL playoff picture and this weekend’s games. I have solved the college football playoff puzzle. I will also talk about all of the schools skipping bowl games and why it’s just quitting. National signing day in college football this week kicked off the December signing period. I have that and more in a packed Thursday night podcast episode.

This episode is packed with all kinds of interesting information. I discussed Missouri's win over Liberty. I talked about the Chiefs and Tigers games this weekend. I talked about the joke the Big Ten is by changing its rules and the jokes Mike Krzyzewski and Duke are for their recent actions. I touched on Royals Rule 5 Draft information and their new minor league affiliate possibilities. I congratulated Matt Besler for living a dream by playing for his hometown team. I wrapped things up by discussing the MLS losses this past year and how they cannot financially afford another year like 2020 and ESPN's new contract with the SEC for football. There was a lot.  Enjoy! I loved talking about these things.

Sporting was beaten down at home by Minnesota, and now their season is over. The Royals made several moves this week because of the non-tender deadline. Missouri won a big game against Oregon.

Kansas played terrible defense but actually did ok on the offensive end but lost to Gonzaga to start their season. Missouri looked good in a win over Oral Roberts. Kansas State has a long way to go if they don't want to finish at the bottom of the Big 12.
