The VDown

On this episode of The VDown with Michael V.. We look at the last month of for two of Kansas City's teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals. For both teams it has been a month of up and downs but they both enter October on fire!

  The Chiefs enter October with a 2-2 record coming off a win on Monday Night Football in front of a record setting home crowd that set the decibel record for the world's loudest outdoor stadium where Michael V also helped contribute his voice. Sunday, Alex Smith returns to San Francisco for the first time since losing his job to Colin Kapernick and we will discuss that game as well.

  The Royals came into October squeezing into the playoffs as a wildcard, just falling a few games short of a division title. They then won a wild, wild card came in extra innings to earn a trip to the ALDS against the Los Angeles Angels. They have since won the first two games in LA, both in extra innings and are looking to sweep the series on Sunday in front of their home crowd in Kansas City.

  So join us this Wednesday, October 8th at 5 pm Central Time for a Kansas City sports edition of The VDown with Michael V. We are also available for download on iTunes and www.blogtalkradio.com/vdown.

There are dark days and on those days it is hard to see the light but it is there. Tune in today, at 3:30 pm to The VDown with Michael V. There will be explicit language.
