Stretching the Bandwidth Closely
A wild weekend full of photo finishes, seventh games, and rubber matches is in the crosshairs. David Lesky from Inside the Crown talks Royals. Plus a potpourri of Chiefs, SKC, Current, Nascar at Kansas Speedway, the Kentucky Derby, NHL, NBA and more. Phew!
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!
A Soul Stirring Right of Spring
Yes, the Royals did fall to the Twins in their first game, but still Opening Day has a special feeling. From the GM, to the manager, to the players past and present, and most importantly the fans, a sunny spring day marks a beginning. Let’s bring you the sights and sounds of a special sports moment in time. Enjoy!
Potpourri Away From Football
A huge Monday Nighter for the Chiefs moves our football chat to Tuesday, and there’s a bunch coming after a crazy college Saturday and the NFL , but Sporting KC, College Hoops, and the Royals have plenty to offer up. Dig in!
Conquering Life’s Curves
A standout young athlete who became a World Series champ as a rookie, Ed Hearn from that time forward has fought the odds through career-ending injury, multiple kidney transplants, and other health issues. Public speaking has provided an inspiration to others, and a motivation for him. An uplifting and emotional conversation.
Greinke, Growth, Hope, and Change
Visits Sunday, for a game and Tuesday, for a press conference, at Kauffman Stadium, provide the setting for my analysis and ruminations, and those of Zack Greinke, GM J.J. Picollo, and manager Matt Quatroro, looking back and ahead.
The Road Rolls Forward
Appropriately enough, Negro League Museum President Bob Kendrick was prominent in last weekend's "Salute to the Negro Leagues" event at Kauffman Stadium. It provides a perfect reason to revisit our wonderful conversation from a couple years back. His own history and that of one of baseball's greatest stories make for great listening. Enjoy!
Successes By The Score
A truly fascinating and entertaining conversation with Matt Cunningham, who with his wife Laura have operated the award-winning Cedar Crest Lodge in Pleasanton for over two decades, Kansas. Both of their backgrounds are in television, and the story of their personal and business journey is amazing and enjoyable.
A Special Day to Reflect
Ned Yost was inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame Saturday night, which is a perfect setting to hear from him, players like Escobar, Greg Holland, and Wade Davis, as well as adding some personal reflections on a special championship era for the Royals.
Different Stages
It's on to the regular season for the Chiefs with the roster to be set Tuesday and no sign of Chris Jones, a very big W for SKC and Peter Vermes weighs in, Royals fighting hard...yet losing, a dominant Hovland, and more. Let's crank up the week!
