Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to the Danny Clinkscale Reasonably irreverent podcast, insightful and
witty commentary, probing interviews and detours from the beaten path.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome to Monday Musings Danny and Friends. Sports Rap. It's
always presented by Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture
eight locations all around the Kansas City area for you
to see doctor Brad Woodell and his fine team and
make you feel better. Schedule an appointment today and if
you haven't ever done it, you'll really have a revelation.
If you've done it before, you'll pick up where you're
(00:35):
left off and feel better. I get to go there
every week and it certainly keeps me fine tuned, as
fine tuned as I can be at my advancing age.
We only have a few days left of summer and
it's been a pretty amazing summer for me. In most
recent journey was off to Boston to see my family
a little bit, and then upstate New York most of
the time for a reunion of a radio station I
(00:58):
worked for back in the late eight in early nineties.
It was really a great time. Went to Cooper's Town
that was really, really, really amazing and always is can
highly recommend the area so beautiful, the museum just amazing.
You can do it in two and a half hours
or two and a half days, whichever you like. It
certainly is a little bit high on the misery index
(01:19):
for this edition. And of course that trip is why
we're here on Tuesday instead of Monday. And we may
be morphing right into Danny and Stan's football weekend because
the Royals basically have a point one percent chance of
making the playoffs. So that's you're saying, there's a chance. Well,
our last home stand starts tonight and we'll check out
(01:39):
what we think there might be going on there. But
first off, we're going to visit with Stan Weber about
really some grim things. The Chiefs a row in too
and have looked pretty bad doing it. Kansas State Wildcats
certainly have not looked good at all. That's probably the
major story so far. Looked at a listing in the
Athletic and they were eighty seconds in America, not exactly
(02:01):
what they thought they would be before the season. The
AFC West is looking extra tough, and the next game
for the Chiefs is against the Giants. Stands a Cowboys
fan as you know, so he got a good look
at the Giants who looked pretty darn good and maybe
should have won the game against the Cowboys. And so
there's all kinds of things to talk about there, a
little bit of soccer, all kinds of stuff to get
(02:23):
after right here. Start it off with Stan Weber talking football,
trying to create some smiles. The Missouri Tigers have been
responsible for most of those so far. Stan Weber up
next on Monday Musings Danny and Friends Sports rep presented
by Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture.

Danny and Friends Sports Rap. Obviously it's not Monday, and
but we do have friends. Dan Weber I was away,
so we pushed this to Tuesday. We'll do that probably
(04:44):
sometimes based on the Chiefs and Stan the Royals have
conspired to mean that we're probably going to be starting
up Danny and Stan's Football Weekend a little bit earlier
than we might have planned. But we talked football the
last two weeks, and it's always great to do so,
even if we have something to talk about where we're
trying to solve problems rather than heap praise. And let's
(05:05):
start with the Kansas City Chiefs and they've got problems.
I mean, this is not good. And you know, Chiefs
fans can complain about the tush push and everything else,
but the Chiefs really that both games were closer than
they could have been. To me, the Chiefs could have
got run out of the gym in both of these games,
although their defense was pretty good in the second game,
(05:27):
but their offense looks like nothing that we have seen
in the past. Even last year they probably were a
little better than they're looking right now. Certainly a couple
of injuries to wide receivers, but I don't think that's
enough of an excuse. Everybody gets injuries to be as
bad as the Chiefs have been so far on offense, well.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
It is a continuation of last year.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I'm a big believer Danny, as you know, saying every
year is a new year, and you got to resort
out who your players are and your strategies, and you
a little older or younger depending on your roster. So
twenty twenty five should be looked at US twenty twenty five.
But there's no way that we can do fair analysis
of the Chiefs in twenty twenty five without hearkening back
(06:11):
to twenty twenty four. If you listen to the podcast,
I'm sure we were saying things that were realistic, like, boy,
you're you're barely winning these games, and there's a lot
of things lacking with the chief but you know, knowing
how to win, scaring the opponent, intimidating them into stupid decisions,
letting them lose the game, making plays at the end,
(06:33):
out coaching them in critical situations, game management, all those
things are great attributes to have. But that those great
attributes were played out in twenty.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Twenty four to any but it still defied odds.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
I mean, were these they'd won what seventeen straight one
score games, I mean it could have been thirteen and
four and it would be dominant. Okay, So we couldn't
spend too much time out than saying why can't.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
The Chiefs win a third Super Bowl? Last year?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
They're playing with fire, but I never would want to
lose that. You know, Michael Jordan's ability to hit that
last shot in the clutch. Why can he do it
and others can't. I don't know, but that makes him
Michael Jordan and the Bulls continue to win back in
the day, you know, the Chiefs have been like that.
So those things are great to have. What's interesting is
(07:21):
the deficiency. Deficiencies in the offense were showing up big
time last year. The Chiefs had to be unbelievable on
third down conversions. They had the longest drives in the NFL.
They took forever, they didn't throw the ball downfield, the
running game, didn't scare anybody. All those things were true,
and yet the Chiefs continue to motor on down and
win the games. They're still true, and like you said,
(07:43):
maybe a little worse right now.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So I think that.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
The magic that they had last year that got him
over the hump to win games that maybe they shouldn't
have or most teams wouldn't have Danny was still there
in the first two games.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't agree with you.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
They got really beaten up and should a lot by
two touchdowns in each of the first two games.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Agreed that Chiefs magic showed up.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
I mean the intimidation and some of the things that
happened late in the game to make them close were
still on display. It's just they were fighting back from
two scores down instead of one. If Patrick Mahomes would
have touched the ball in either of those first two
games with a chance at the end only down by
one score, I think the Chiefs would have went down
(08:26):
and won. I think the opponents would have expected to
happen the Chiefs would have expected to happen, and we
would have seen it. What we saw, though, is that
they were down by two scores when they fully put
on their late game magic. That throw of forty nine
yards is incredible by Mahomes. I mean he missed two
passes in the game that were unbelievable and won on
that drive obviously, but still to the score from forty
(08:49):
nine yards. And then to make that Charger game close
right at the end and make it scary for the Chargers.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That was crazy because I thought the Chargers had control
of the game.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
So the Chiefs are still doing but that'll be less effective, Danny,
especially the intimidation factor and the mistake by the opponents
will less than tremendously once they realize that.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
The Chiefs aren't going to always win.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Okay, And that's what gets scary about the future games.
The twenty twenty five season may have already created a
mark in the minds of every one of the opponents.
The other fifteen opponents the Chiefs are going to play
may look at the Chiefs differently, like, oh, they aren't infallible,
we may not fail and they win the game because hey,
(09:32):
I got some tape where the Chargers finish it off. Hey,
I got some tape where the Eagles finish it off.
So I think that's the number one thing we look at.
It looks a little bit like twenty twenty four. To me,
the running game is non existent. Patrick Mahomes is carrying
the whole team on his back, Danny. I mean, I've
given him other than a couple of throws, and yeah,
(09:53):
the deep throws were missed, but still this guy is
running for first downs and touchdowns and everything else and
trying to do everything he possibly can to win the game.
So right now, it looks like Patrick Mahomes and other
people that aren't living up to the level they need to.
And I'll quickly say, in my opinion, for the Chiefs
(10:14):
to be one of the best teams in the NFL,
they've almost have to have a flawless.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Performance by a few people.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And it starts with Patrick, and then I think it
goes to Steve Spagnola second. When he didn't have a
perfect game against the Chargers, they fell behind, he's got
to call the game.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Well.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
He did against the Eagles, right, I mean, he shut
the Eagles down with Barkley in a great receiving corps
and the tush push and everything else. He did everything,
but he has to every week for them to win.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And then Andy red is next.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
And right now, Danny Andy Reid is not put on
an offensive coordinator clinic for what this year, last year,
and maybe the year before.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I wanted to point this out. Courtesy of Sam McDowell.
This is a great parrock. Well, it's not a great
paragraph if you're a Chiefs fan. The Chiefs haven't scored
more than thirty points in a game since twenty twenty three.
One of just three NFL teams on that list, the Bills, Ravens,
and Lions, reached thirty one points Sunday. That's the eleventh
time for each since the start of last year. The
(11:20):
Chiefs have topped four hundred yards of offense just once
since the start of last season. No team in the
NFL has done it fewer, and that's Andy Reid's offense.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yeah, so I think that's an area. Then Andy Reid
is a head coach.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
You know, he is so important because he plays both roles,
and we are supposed to accept as a pendulum has
swung so far to any that you should go for
fourth down almost any time and every time, and if
you don't, you get criticized. I mean, Lance Leipold is
a KU coach, took a little heat because he punted
on fourth and seven in his own territory against Maszoo,
(11:57):
Like what the heck?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
But still I.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Proposed to you in the Eagles game going for fourth
down in his own territory and missing, okay, and missing
gave the Eagles a free three points in a low
scoring game.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
And also proposed to you this, Danny, that a lot
of people aren't talking about. They want to bash Travis
Kelcey for, you know, popping the ball up in the
air and having an interception at the goal line. But
the Chiefs went for fourth down back near what the
thirteen or fifteen yard line a few plays before that.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
If they would have just settled.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
For an old school field goal, Danny, Right, that's another
three points just because you go for fourth down if
it's not at the goal line, Danny, I proposed to you.
It may sound like it's the right thing to do,
and it may sound like you did the right thing
if you make it, I propose, not necessarily not if
you end up kicking a field goal a little later,
or you don't make it all the way to the
end zone. That interception did not have to occur. So
(12:52):
I think if Andy would have managed the game as
a head coach a little differently, I think you can
make a case the Chiefs would be ahead at that
last minutes and the Eagles and Chiefs battling it out
with who's the tougher mental team would have been amazing.
But the Eagles are generally the better team all day.
And I think you're going to see a lot of
this where Patrick Mahomes, Steve Spagnola, Andy Reid are going
(13:14):
to have to be so on their games. And next
guy up probably is Chris Jones to say, you know,
blow some things up on defense, and then Travis Kelsey,
and Kelsey has had ups and mostly sideways are downs
in the first two games, and they need him because.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And the frustration is showing finally for him and Mahomes yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
And Chris Jones yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
So I think that's a little bit scary right there,
because they've had such a great locker room and I
always am pointing out that these things are so fragile.
Almost no locker room in any college or pro football
facility is in good shape.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You just hope you win the next week.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So no one builds another level of negativity into the
pro You don't notice it, but it is right there.
And the Chiefs were the one team that was defying
that for multiple years now, from Clark Hunt all the
way down.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Give Andy Reid.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
A ton of credit, but give Patrick Mahomes and Travis
Kelcey a ton of credit for not getting ego driven.
So anyway, the Chiefs have been right in line. But
when we've seen these guys, you know, yelling at each other,
throwing helmets, whatever it's done by your stars, that's not
a good sign.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Danny. That's not all those guys are leaders. Oh those guys, Yeah,
I don't think so. No, that's not right, Danny.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Because the cancer or whatever that is infects every football
program is going to be true for the Chiefs as
well if they don't win games.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
So this has not been good.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
But it's really a continuation of the twenty four issues.
And maybe the most surprising to me is not Andy's
game management. I think that's kind of an aberration and
I may be putting too much stress on that, but I.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Think it's worthwhile.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
I just think Andy has not been drawn up play
as they get guys open. You know, we saw many
years where they were high school open yep, like are
you kidding me? And I really haven't seen that.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Now.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
They're a methodical team and no team is scared of
their running game at all. They are going to play
the pass every single down.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, and that's smart to do. Next up is the Giants.
And obviously you watched the Giants closely because they played
the Cowboys in a crazy game. Giants maybe should have
won the game, and they certainly looked pretty good, I mean,
especially on offense, and their defense is usually better. So
this no pushover for the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
No, and the Giants will be excited about playing in
New York on Sunday night football.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
They really haven't got.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
That feature opportunity very often. And you and I have
talked about this for many years now. Every team gets
fired up when they see the Chiefs uniforms trot out
on the field. I mean, maybe it's respect and nervousness.
Maybe it's the fun of being in on the feature
stage that the world is looking at the Taylor Swift
fans are even looking at. I mean, so I fully
(16:07):
expect the Giants to give you the full bore, best
version of themselves out there, which makes it scary.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
It is the NFL. The Chiefs were way better than
the Giants.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
They might only win by ten points, right, this is
not college, So yeah, it's going to be scary. I
think the biggest thing for them is Russell Wilson played
with more confidence and more of his old school self
in the game against Dallas than he has in three
or four years, maybe even what are.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Two years of Seattle.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
He really threw the ball on target to the right guy,
was great under pressure, I mean third and twenty two
and he throws a strike to the right guy on
time and gets the first down. Just amazing play by
Russell Wilson. And obviously elite Nighbors is a scary wide receiver,
so they And at the running back position, I think
(16:55):
Cam Scattaboo is a wild card. He may not hurt you,
but there could be a critical third or fourth down
play where the Chiefs defense at pretty well and Scataboo
is at this young age still able to have so
much energy and power to run over somebody and keep
up drive alive. So yeah, and the Giants defense is
really their strength, Danny. It's not the offense, right, so
(17:18):
we can brag about the offense a little bit, but
the defense is a strength.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
So it's going to be a real game, and I
think the Chiefs are going.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
To, you know, not run in there with a ton
of confidence and swagger. They're reeling a little bit, you know,
they're looking in the mirror, they're wondering themselves.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
So this this is a super dangerous game.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
But yet I still think if you had to pick
thirty two teams to pick from, who you want to
play on the road, this would be one of my
first choices. Okay, okay, because these guys don't know how
to win. They make the dumbest mistakes. They should have
beat the Cowboys, and they had, oh, I don't know,
one hundred and sixty yards of dumb penalties that just
(17:58):
gave the game.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
To the Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
And a kicker, you know, the Cowboys kicker makes fifty
one and sixty four yard field.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Goals under pressure. Look like no big deal, right, So anyway,
I think I think the Chiefs are favorite.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
I think they'll win the game. If they don't, then
we're going to be I don't know how much time
the Royals are gonna give us next weekend. But we'll
be talking about some we'll be talking about splitting some
hairs on some some negative situations that they lose that game.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
But here's the thing that from the positive point.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Of view, if they were to beat the Giants and
they match up well with the Ravens for some reason
all the time, right, Lamar Jackson just doesn't make the
great plays against the Chiefs. Steve Spagnola Trump's, Lamar, you
come back and win at home against Baltimore. You're two
and two and you've gone through this murderer's row of
schedule and you're.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Two and two. The Chiefs will be fine, right, But
they got to go out and win this. Yeah, they
got to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Let's let's turn to the colleges. And as many problems
as the Chiefs have, the KSU Cats have every bit
those problems, and it's been not good. They've been searching
for answers. The answers aren't there. I know you've talked
about it, and it's sort of, you know, seventy five
percent good place, but the bad plays are hurting you.
(19:10):
More happened again, another game that just didn't look that
good much of the day, but was winnable. It's really
a circle of the wagons with a little extra day
after a Friday game, and you know, a worthy opponent,
not a great opponent, but a worthy opponent on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Well, they they are in a situation they haven't been
in a long long time. Chris Climbent's in his seventh
year and people have spoken about, you know, he loses
an early season game that you just wonder, how did
that happen once in a while, and they bounced right back.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
That's not the situation. Now.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Case States gets off to, for whatever reason, a one
and three start, and that hasn't happened to any A
one in three record to start the year hasn't happened
since Bill Snyder's first year in nineteen eighty nine. So
this is new ground and it's a lo a lot
different than what were the.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Vegas odds such.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
I believe that Caseate was favored in each of their
twelve games right at.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
The start of the year. Now super close NFL style deal.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Not a dominant Alabama or Ohio State's going to crush everybody.
Case Date was a slight favorite over everybody in what
was expected to be a multitude of close games.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
All but one was supposed to be close, and.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
By the way, that one was close North Dakota that
was in the book.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Then only win right now? But when you get back
to it, can.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
They cleanse themselves with the week off and get ready
to play UCF.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I think they've lost their confidence, Danny. It started out with,
you know, the twenty five percent plays like we spoke about,
like where did that come from?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
And seventy five percent of the plays are really good.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Case State's been really poor on money downs, kind of
the fourth down game. If you just took out fourth
down plays this year, case Theate would probably be undefeated
because they've been dominated on fourth down by Iowa State obviously,
Army obviously, and the lack of success on fourth down
when they the ball really cost them against Arizona.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But that's just what we talked about with the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
They've been flawless at the money downs and if you
don't do it, that's a big part of being a
winner or loser. Can Case State get their confidence back
because they they individually were all looking around when it
came to a big play. They were looking around like
what's going to go wrong against Arizona?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Like what's going to happen next? There wasn't a level
of confidence. Swagger is more like, Oh, I.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Hope we don't mess up. I hope we don't mess up.
And so they're in a spot right now. It's really hard.
The thing that the disappointment is going to be giant.
The fans are going to be super hard on them
if they go to social media. But Danny, when they
lost to Iowa State, one important thing was put on
the resume that has been there for a few weeks.
Oh to one in Big twelve Conference play. Okay, that's
(21:55):
really no different than today. It is super hard and
not what anybody wants to hear. But if they're going
to have any success this year, Dandy, they've got to
just turn around and go. It doesn't matter if we
won those three other games. We get a week off
to cleanse and get focused for the grind.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
We're owen one, that's all.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
We're over and one, and we can compete with these
teams in our conference. Just find let's go see if
we can turn this thing around. I think an example
is kind of crazy, but that you can relate to
and your listeners. Danny is, Kansas had everything go wrong
last year, and I thought they were a pretty good
football team, but everything went wrong early and it counted,
and it broke their confidence and in our.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Quarterback didn't play great.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
I'll give you all that, but you remember how k
you played the last forty percent of the year, right,
They were really good and you were going like teams
did not want to see them play in the Big
Troll Championship game against them. They won three straight games
over three ranked opponents, and you know.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
They completely turned it around. It was too late. They
didn't go to a bowl game.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
All those things could be the case for Case State
right now because these four games count and they are
one and three. But that's the mentality they got to have.
At some point, I think they'll kick it into year,
become more of the self that they should be. I'm
not saying that's dominant, but it could turn into some
momentum and win games. But they have got to have
that mentality that they're only zero and want that they're
(23:12):
going to get it done. Because right now, no one's
mad at each other. They're not pointing fingers, but I
don't see anybody on the team looking in the mirror
saying I got this. You know, I'm going to go
help this team win the game. They just keep saying,
let's stay together, let's stay together.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
But the real.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Confidence that you have to put on the field is
not there right now.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
It is not.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
They have a week off this week and then play
UCF to follow at home. Kansas is coming off their
week off, obviously lost to Missouri. It was a loss
that was expected game. It probably went just about the
way you would expect. Now you start things up with
West Virginia, a team that bounced back in their last
game with a win, so they've got a little bit
of momentum just to restart for the Jayhawks.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah, and a real good opportunity because I think the
stats don't look good against Missouri, and Missouri fans are
quick to point out, you know, hey, we had almost
six hundred yards of offense and Kansas didn't run the ball,
and it quickly make it seem like it was a
dominant game. But the fact is Kansas knows deep down
that they fought and had the lead in the fourth
(24:19):
quarter and Missouri had to convert on fourth down on
the next drive.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Or k you would have the ball and the lead.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Okay, and when K you punted that, everyone said Lance
Leifhold shouldn't have punted.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Jalen Daniels put the ball right.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
On the fingertips of the receiver for a twenty five
yard gain in the Missouri territory.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
So I think it's.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Fair for the Kansas fans and their football team to
not look at the stat sheet and just look at
the overall game and feel very good about themselves. And
I think that's what they'll do. That's what they should do.
And then they gear up for a very manageable schedule, Danny.
They can really get some momentum going right now with
the schedule that they have West Virginia at home, Cincinnati
(25:00):
home at UCF. Why couldn't you put together a three
game winning streak. Why couldn't you do it?
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Danny?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
And the excitement level and the veteran quarterback could get
this done. West Virginia is really in disarray right now,
and K you missed an opportunity because they were down
by ten in the backyard brawl. Okay, if you haven't
followed West Virginia, they lost to Ohio at Ohio.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Ohio's a good Mac team, but they lost to a
Mac team. Unacceptable.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
They came home and we're ten behind Pitt and somehow
got those ten points. They were rotating quarterbacks because they
can't find the guy that they want to play. They
literally rotated quarterbacks around in a circle and went back
to the starter. Somehow tied the game on one of
the last plays of the game in one in overtime.
So right now they have their head above water and
(25:50):
are saying, Wow, we beat the hated Pitt and our
fans are on our side again. They've forgotten about the Ohios,
so that gives West Virginia some hope. But the oddsmakers
are sit and they're saying Kansas is a two touchdown favorite.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Right I say favorite. That seems a little extreme to me.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
But West Virginia is really not playing that well, Danny,
so I feel pretty comfortable that it'll be a surprise
if Kansas doesn't win this game.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Missouri had almost six hundred head round six hundred yards
of offense against Kansas. Well, they did it again in
their last game. Obviously it was a lesser opponent in Louisiana,
but the Tigers can only play who they played, and
they looked great again and they've got some real momentum
right now.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Yeah, and this whole who's going to be our quarterback?
That was not that long ago we were talking about that.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
You know, Sam Horn unfortunately gets injured, but Prabulah, he
has put on a show. And the Kansas game was
where I thought all the pressure is on him, and
he put on a show.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
And they've just continued that.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
And then the running backs to surprise us with their
excellence as well. I mean, over one hundred yards rushing
by two backs two games.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
In a row has got to make you feel good.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
And then Eli Drinkle Whi's team in Bazoo is just
the opposite of what happened to Kansas Kansas. If West
Virginia would have lost that game, would they would just
roll in here and say, please please beat us up
and let.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Us go home. We don't want to play football anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Well, South Carolina was considered a top ten team sellers
or quarterback has thought of as what maybe a top
five pick. He gets injured in the game on Saturday
night in Columbia, South Carolina, so he has a concussion issue,
I believe. I'm not sure what his availability will be
this week, or if he'll be full speed. You know,
sometimes they'll let you come back and play Danny, but
(27:36):
your brain cells aren't functioning perfectly.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
You know the story. Well, they got whipped by Vanderbilt, whipped.
They are in shock. Whipped.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Every time they said, oh, watch out, Vanderbilt. You know,
I know you have a lead, but we're going to
do this to you, Vanderbilt laughed and ax separated by
even more and by the end of the game, you're
looking at Vanderbilt could have beat them for three more quarters,
keep playing saying, well, look how great South Carolina is. No,
Vanderbilt was better than them, more physical than them, and
(28:06):
crafty and everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
So they are shot in shock. I mean, I know.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Something that's going on in South Carolina because my soide
used to coach there, know, Shane Beemer, and my daughter
in law, Natalie Baby said Beamer's kids. I mean, she's
a South Carolina grad, she worked with a football program.
Her dad's a big booster who knows all the coaches.
I mean, they had no idea that they would be
looking at this next week, going to Missouri, a team
(28:32):
that normally beats them. Right, it just seems like Missouri
always beats South Carolina. This was a dangerous game on
what is a great schedule by Missou right eight home games,
first time in Missouri history, six home games to start
the year out and the one fly in the ointment
was not Ku, because you should beat KU if you're Missouri.
It's oh my gosh, here comes South Carolina and could
(28:53):
they blow our momentum right now? Missouri's a two touchdown
favorite over them too, And I don't know, Missouri doesn't
have giant advantages. It's going to be a gutsy game.
But Beamer's team can bounce back and fight.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
They've not played well at Missou ever.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
You know, I Stanton was the coach there, and I
knew how good South Carolina was.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
And I previewing a game a couple.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Of years ago, I was going, oh man, this is
gonna be active a battle. And South Carolina act like
someone stole their uniforms. They don't play well against Missou.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And so I don't think they I think they think.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
It's cold here, Danny. I mean, just you know, coming
up all this way, who knows. So I don't want
to be I don't want to take my guard down.
I want to respect that South Carolina was thought of
it as almost a top ten team to finish last
year and up until last week, so they could bounce back.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
This is not an easy game.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
We're not blowing this off and acting like Missouri has
the easiest schedule in the world.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
This is big time SEC football. But still it worked out.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Perfectly for them. It couldn't have been better than Vanderbilt.
Just punch all the juice out of that program and say, now.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
What do you think about going on the road, and
if you can win this one.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Then you got u mass Yeah, I mean you've put
together five wins and Alabama's coming in to rock the
house and yep, how great is Missouri gonna play on
that day?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
So things are really looking good for Missouri.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Things fell their way for Kansas not bad, but boy,
if Pittsburgh would be West Virginia, then Kansas might have
been a play the backups and win the game.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
So they're gonna revived.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
West Virginia and a beating up South Carolina coming in
this week.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Cool stuff always Stan. We will probably do one more
semi full stand next week. We'll see how it shakes
out and go on Royals. Yeah, the Royals. It doesn't
really matter now what they do. But I'll be out
at the ballpark on Sunday because it's the last Sunday
of the year, so I want to do a little
bit about that. So anyway, Stan, always a pleasure, and
(30:50):
we'll talk again probably next week.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Thanks Danny. I always look forward to it.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
And we'll be together again on college football game day
nine o'clock on Radio A ten WHP.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
And when you're out there, if it's not inappropriate, tell
o Salve. I've loved him forever.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
I love him now, and I loved him when he's
a rookie, and I loved him when he was. My
son would say I love Alex Gordon, and I'd say,
I love Salvador Perez. If you want to give him
a big hug for me, I got a picture of
him and me together.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I can show you there. You go down at aarrawhead
when he hit the drum, you know, five years ago
or whenever it was. So I met Salve. But that
Hall of Famer is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, we will talk a little baseball, actually more of
the little baseball and a little bit more coming up next.
It's Monday Musings. Danny and Friends Sports Rap presented by ASFCA.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Thank you Stan, Thank you sir. Quick Looking ahead two
weeks more.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Of Danny's Reasonably Irreverend podcast. After this, we're.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Here with doctor Brad woodhell from Advanced Sports and Family
Chiropractic and Acupuncture. And one thing we like to talk
about is the wide range of services that can help
you out mentally and physically.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
We offer many services from chiropractic, acupuncture, nutritional work, and rehabilitation,
and we take care of patients of all ages from
young to old and customize the care to help them
stay well and stay active.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
What are some of the things that you can do
to help that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
The first thing we're going to do is we're going
to look at prevention. How do we keep you moving
and aligned? Ideally, just like your car, that expensive car
is going to have your top priority and maintenance. You
want to keep it in good shape. This body of yours,
it is worth a lot.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture eight locations all
around the Kansas City area, so you can find one
near you to do all the things that doctor woodhelld
has just stressed. It's as FCA. We're here at the
twenty third Street Brewery with Matt Llewellen all the time.
There's exciting things going on, new water feature, new beers,
and this fall football is back in Lawrence and that's cool.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Football back in Lawrence.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Can you imagine that we actually had to endure a
year without it? Well, it is back, it's back on campus.
We're so happy that they're here. Just like years past.
We offer a free shuttle coming from the twenty third
three Brewery an hour and a half before game time.
We partner with the Boys and Girls Club to do that,
so it's helping a good cause also, so come in
to the brewery early before the game. Free shuttle to
(33:19):
and from the football game. We love to have you
out here, excited to have the Jayhawks back in town
where they belong.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Great food, great beers, great fun during football season at
the twenty third Street Brewery twenty third and Castle in Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
If you'd like to join these and other great sponsors
and market your business to a growing and engaged audience,
contact us at Danny Clinkscale dot com. Look forward to
hearing from you.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Welcome back. Well, if you haven't gone out to the
ballpark too often, this summer, and this is your last chance.
Six games left starts up tonight with the Mariners. This
once upon a time looked like it would be a
really great series, a very important series. In fact, maybe
even two weeks ago, it looked like it might be
an important series. But not now. Even if the Royals
swept this, they'd still be in dire straits. They have
(34:04):
other teams they have to pass. Basically, they have no chance.
They'd have to win every game and that might not
even be enough. And we'll check out our baseball round
up here in a little bit. A lot of things
pretty well decided, couple things to be decided, and what's
to be decided is what's at stake for the Royals. Tangibly,
(34:24):
I guess the thing that's at stake is a winning record.
Of course, the Royals are once you know, spent most
of the season at least a little bit over five hundred,
but now they are dead at five hundred, twelve games
to go, ten games out in the division. Cole Ragan's
is coming back. He's going to pitch a little bit.
They did have some fun events over the weekend. The
(34:45):
Philadelphia series certainly wasn't one that was good as far
as wins and losses was concerned. But a highlight moment
for Salvador Perez who got his three hundredth home run
and thousandth darbi and the same swing of the bat.
Those are two counting statistics that ob Lee bolster his
opportunity to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The
thing that's holding him back in all likelihood his is
(35:07):
on base percentage, which would be one of the all
time lowest ever to enter the Hall. But he's got
time and those counting stats are pretty darn impressive, and
I would say the winning record would make the season
feel quite a bit better. It's obviously doesn't matter that much.
You don't get a bonus or anything for it, but
it looks better to have won, have a winning season
(35:30):
after a playoff season, and so I guess that's on
the table for the Royals. As mentioned Cole Reagan's comes back,
you'd like to see him look good, be healthy, things
like that. Michael Walks coming back after concussion which happened
off the field. I guess we'll probably never know what
happened there, and so I would say that's probably it.
(35:51):
Enjoy baseball the last six games of the year, beautiful
weather at this time of year, and hope the Royals
can win a few games and perhaps get over five hundred.
I think that's going.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
To be tough.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Actually, this is a tough home stand and the Mariners
really need to win games, and then they go out
on the road for kind of a tough West Coast
trip to finish the season. So that's where we stand
with the Royals as they head into the final homestand
beginning tonight with the Seattle Mariners. Around baseball, Toronto Blue
(36:22):
Jays have a five game lead and seemingly the American
League East title not clinched yet obviously, Red Sox and
Yankees battling it out for a second and battling it
out for the second wild card. And that's a battle
actually that's been joined by whoever is not in the
West lead at the moment. And right now the West
lead is held by the Mariners and the Astros are
(36:44):
a half game back.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
There.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
We'll check that out in a minute. Tampa Bay Rays
have faded down the stretch a bit to picked to
They were, just like the Royals, picked a bad time
to start losing a bunch of games, which they have
eight out of their last ten, and the Orioles have
played pretty well for quite a long time. They actually
haven't even been eliminated yet, but they're seventy to eighty
for the season. If they'd started up the season in
(37:06):
mid May, they'd be in contention, but they played awful
at the start of the year. The Tigers have kind
of been in cruise control for a long while. Now
they've split their last ten games. They still have a
six and a half game lead on the Guardians, who
probably going to come up short. Even though they've gotten
red hot. The Guardians have been the streakiest team in baseball.
I would say they go on these long winning streaks
(37:28):
long losing streaks. They've currently lost one night out of ten,
won their last four. As they said, it's kept them
in the race, but just barely, and the Royals at
the break even point Twins have been in the tank
for a while. In the White Sox a slightly better
year this year, but still pretty bad at a three
seventy seven winning percentage, Mariners and Astros will take it
(37:50):
down to the wire. As mentioned Astros a half game out.
The Texas Rangers have surged, although they lost their last
two games, and one of those was to the Astros,
and the Guardians are still in it. We'll check out
the wildcard here in a minute. And the Athletics have
been playing good ball for a while, four wins in
a row, six of their last ten. They are respectable
(38:12):
four to sixty seven winning percentage, and they've given a
lot of entertainment. Sacramento scored a whole bunch of runs,
and the Angels have had their moments, but they end
up with another disappointing season. Twelve games under five hundred.
The Phillies have stepped on the gas while the Mets
have thrown it in reverse. But the Mets look like
they still are going to survive and win the wild card,
(38:32):
even though they just keep losing and losing. Hell, they
were like twenty games over five hundred at one time.
Now they're just four. Marlins have had a decent season,
but never really in contention. The uber underachieving Atlanta Braves
have fourth, and the Nationals will bring up the rear
Baseball's greatest story and should be told, and it's never
(38:53):
really told. The Brewers don't get much attention. They have
clinched their division playoff spot, five games up in the
division ninety one wins. They've sort of slacked off, splitting
their last ten games, and that makes it a lot
less likely they'll win one hundred games. We probably won't
have one hundred game winning team this year. In baseball,
(39:15):
Cubs are solidly in the playoff spot. Red's got hot
for a while recently, but they've backed off and that's
hurt them, and they're in big trouble in the wild card.
But the Mets keep losing, so these teams aren't dead.
And the Giants also have done the same thing. But
out West, the Dodgers have a two game lead on
the Padres that's still up for grabs. Diamondbacks on the
(39:36):
periphery of the wild card situation, so have the Giants,
who have been pretty streaky themselves. And the Rockies have
already lost one hundred and nine games on the season
last I checked. That's not very good, and one year
after the White Sox lost a whole pile of games,
the Rockies have done that too, although they've been better
(39:56):
enough recently that they're not going to surpass the absolute
dumpster fire that the White Sox were last year. Yankee
sold the top Wildcard by a game over the Red Sox.
A Houston has the third wild card spot. Now, Guardians
and Rangers are three games back. Those are the teams
in it, and of course the Royals mathematically, but that's it.
(40:20):
Cubs have the top wildcard in the National League Padres
five games back. Mets look like they're going to hang on.
They've dropped eight of their last ten. They still have
a game and a half lead on the Diamondbacks, so
that's hardly done. And if the Diamondbacks, the Reds or
the Giants went on a little streak, they could get
the job done. We'll see if that happens in National
(40:44):
League baseball. A couple other notes from baseball. Cal Rawley
the other day hit his fifty fourth home run That
set the record for primary catchers at fifty four, and
it ties and he'll likely break it the record of
Mickey Mantle for the home runs by a switch hitter.
The Big Dumper has had a big dumper of a season.
(41:05):
He's dumped home runs into the stands at a prolific
rate and been a great story. So he's probably been
one of the really cool breakout stories as far as
baseball is concerned. This time around. We have two different
stories as far as our local soccer teams. They are
headed to the finish of their seasons and for Sporting
(41:25):
Kansas City it can't come soon enough. They lost the
other day at Utah two to one. It's been a
disastrous season. Carries A. Wagnin has presided over it. He's
been classy. I think he's shown real calmness and everything else.
But I can't imagine that they're going to go in
the direction of changing him from interim coach to full
(41:47):
time coach. I would think, in fact that he'll probably
be working somewhere else next year. That's just speculation by me. Meanwhile,
it was a draw the other day for the Kansas
City Current. It's been nothing but great stuff for them.
They're going to win the regular season and win a
Cup of sorts, but then it's all about the playoffs.
They've just been a great story trying to get healthy,
(42:08):
stay healthy, and continue to provide fantastic entertainment for people
out there at their beautiful CPKC Stadium. They have been
a great story, easily the best regular season team in
the NWSL and waiting for the playoffs, which still are
a few games away, and I'm sure there'll be a
lot of excitement out there. So a tale of two
(42:29):
different stories as far as our local soccer teams are concerned.
And over the weekend, if you didn't pay attention, Scotti
Scheffler won another golf tournament out in Napa. He was
just using it as a tune up for the Ryder Cup,
and tune up he did, and he won and come
from behind fashion and another Ryder cupp Ben Griffin was
caught in passed in the final round. Unbelievable season for
(42:51):
the best golfer in the world, Scotty Scheffler, who has
done some really really amazing things this year thanks to
Stan Weber. What a breakdown of football and hoping for
mostly better things or a continuation of good things for
the Missouri Tigers with a big one on Saturday against
a South Carolina team that needs bounce back. As we
(43:12):
talked about, I bounce back to the area. I'll have
a great music podcast this week and all kinds of
other good stuff. Great to be back in Kansas City,
had some concerts coming up, all kinds of good stuff.
My summer has been pretty remarkable and g if my
fall is half as good. That'll be in pretty good shape.
They'll do it for Monday Musings. Danny and Friends Sports

(00:35):
left off and feel better. I get to go there
every week and it certainly keeps me fine tuned, as
fine tuned as I can be at my advancing age.
We only have a few days left of summer and
it's been a pretty amazing summer for me. In most
recent journey was off to Boston to see my family
a little bit, and then upstate New York most of
the time for a reunion of a radio station I
(00:58):
worked for back in the late eight in early nineties.
It was really a great time. Went to Cooper's Town
that was really, really, really amazing and always is can
highly recommend the area so beautiful, the museum just amazing.
You can do it in two and a half hours
or two and a half days, whichever you like. It
certainly is a little bit high on the misery index
(01:19):
for this edition. And of course that trip is why
we're here on Tuesday instead of Monday. And we may
be morphing right into Danny and Stan's football weekend because
the Royals basically have a point one percent chance of
making the playoffs. So that's you're saying, there's a chance. Well,
our last home stand starts tonight and we'll check out
(01:39):
what we think there might be going on there. But
first off, we're going to visit with Stan Weber about
really some grim things. The Chiefs a row in too
and have looked pretty bad doing it. Kansas State Wildcats
certainly have not looked good at all. That's probably the
major story so far. Looked at a listing in the
Athletic and they were eighty seconds in America, not exactly
(02:01):
what they thought they would be before the season. The
AFC West is looking extra tough, and the next game
for the Chiefs is against the Giants. Stands a Cowboys
fan as you know, so he got a good look
at the Giants who looked pretty darn good and maybe
should have won the game against the Cowboys. And so
there's all kinds of things to talk about there, a
little bit of soccer, all kinds of stuff to get
(02:23):
after right here. Start it off with Stan Weber talking football,
trying to create some smiles. The Missouri Tigers have been
responsible for most of those so far. Stan Weber up
next on Monday Musings Danny and Friends Sports rep presented
by Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture.

so we pushed this to Tuesday. We'll do that probably
(04:44):
sometimes based on the Chiefs and Stan the Royals have
conspired to mean that we're probably going to be starting
up Danny and Stan's Football Weekend a little bit earlier
than we might have planned. But we talked football the
last two weeks, and it's always great to do so,
even if we have something to talk about where we're
trying to solve problems rather than heap praise. And let's
(05:05):
start with the Kansas City Chiefs and they've got problems.
I mean, this is not good. And you know, Chiefs
fans can complain about the tush push and everything else,
but the Chiefs really that both games were closer than
they could have been. To me, the Chiefs could have
got run out of the gym in both of these games,
although their defense was pretty good in the second game,
(05:27):
but their offense looks like nothing that we have seen
in the past. Even last year they probably were a
little better than they're looking right now. Certainly a couple
of injuries to wide receivers, but I don't think that's
enough of an excuse. Everybody gets injuries to be as
bad as the Chiefs have been so far on offense, well.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
It is a continuation of last year.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I'm a big believer Danny, as you know, saying every
year is a new year, and you got to resort
out who your players are and your strategies, and you
a little older or younger depending on your roster. So
twenty twenty five should be looked at US twenty twenty five.
But there's no way that we can do fair analysis
of the Chiefs in twenty twenty five without hearkening back
(06:11):
to twenty twenty four. If you listen to the podcast,
I'm sure we were saying things that were realistic, like, boy,
you're you're barely winning these games, and there's a lot
of things lacking with the chief but you know, knowing
how to win, scaring the opponent, intimidating them into stupid decisions,
letting them lose the game, making plays at the end,
(06:33):
out coaching them in critical situations, game management, all those
things are great attributes to have. But that those great
attributes were played out in twenty.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Twenty four to any but it still defied odds.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
I mean, were these they'd won what seventeen straight one
score games, I mean it could have been thirteen and
four and it would be dominant. Okay, So we couldn't
spend too much time out than saying why can't.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
The Chiefs win a third Super Bowl? Last year?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
They're playing with fire, but I never would want to
lose that. You know, Michael Jordan's ability to hit that
last shot in the clutch. Why can he do it
and others can't. I don't know, but that makes him
Michael Jordan and the Bulls continue to win back in
the day, you know, the Chiefs have been like that.
So those things are great to have. What's interesting is
(07:21):
the deficiency. Deficiencies in the offense were showing up big
time last year. The Chiefs had to be unbelievable on
third down conversions. They had the longest drives in the NFL.
They took forever, they didn't throw the ball downfield, the
running game, didn't scare anybody. All those things were true,
and yet the Chiefs continue to motor on down and
win the games. They're still true, and like you said,
(07:43):
maybe a little worse right now.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So I think that.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
The magic that they had last year that got him
over the hump to win games that maybe they shouldn't
have or most teams wouldn't have Danny was still there
in the first two games.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't agree with you.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
They got really beaten up and should a lot by
two touchdowns in each of the first two games.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Agreed that Chiefs magic showed up.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
I mean the intimidation and some of the things that
happened late in the game to make them close were
still on display. It's just they were fighting back from
two scores down instead of one. If Patrick Mahomes would
have touched the ball in either of those first two
games with a chance at the end only down by
one score, I think the Chiefs would have went down
(08:26):
and won. I think the opponents would have expected to
happen the Chiefs would have expected to happen, and we
would have seen it. What we saw, though, is that
they were down by two scores when they fully put
on their late game magic. That throw of forty nine
yards is incredible by Mahomes. I mean he missed two
passes in the game that were unbelievable and won on
that drive obviously, but still to the score from forty
(08:49):
nine yards. And then to make that Charger game close
right at the end and make it scary for the Chargers.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That was crazy because I thought the Chargers had control
of the game.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
So the Chiefs are still doing but that'll be less effective, Danny,
especially the intimidation factor and the mistake by the opponents
will less than tremendously once they realize that.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
The Chiefs aren't going to always win.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Okay, And that's what gets scary about the future games.
The twenty twenty five season may have already created a
mark in the minds of every one of the opponents.
The other fifteen opponents the Chiefs are going to play
may look at the Chiefs differently, like, oh, they aren't infallible,
we may not fail and they win the game because hey,
(09:32):
I got some tape where the Chargers finish it off. Hey,
I got some tape where the Eagles finish it off.
So I think that's the number one thing we look at.
It looks a little bit like twenty twenty four. To me,
the running game is non existent. Patrick Mahomes is carrying
the whole team on his back, Danny. I mean, I've
given him other than a couple of throws, and yeah,
(09:53):
the deep throws were missed, but still this guy is
running for first downs and touchdowns and everything else and
trying to do everything he possibly can to win the game.
So right now, it looks like Patrick Mahomes and other
people that aren't living up to the level they need to.
And I'll quickly say, in my opinion, for the Chiefs
(10:14):
to be one of the best teams in the NFL,
they've almost have to have a flawless.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Performance by a few people.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And it starts with Patrick, and then I think it
goes to Steve Spagnola second. When he didn't have a
perfect game against the Chargers, they fell behind, he's got
to call the game.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Well.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
He did against the Eagles, right, I mean, he shut
the Eagles down with Barkley in a great receiving corps
and the tush push and everything else. He did everything,
but he has to every week for them to win.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And then Andy red is next.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
And right now, Danny Andy Reid is not put on
an offensive coordinator clinic for what this year, last year,
and maybe the year before.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I wanted to point this out. Courtesy of Sam McDowell.
This is a great parrock. Well, it's not a great
paragraph if you're a Chiefs fan. The Chiefs haven't scored
more than thirty points in a game since twenty twenty three.
One of just three NFL teams on that list, the Bills, Ravens,
and Lions, reached thirty one points Sunday. That's the eleventh
time for each since the start of last year. The
(11:20):
Chiefs have topped four hundred yards of offense just once
since the start of last season. No team in the
NFL has done it fewer, and that's Andy Reid's offense.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yeah, so I think that's an area. Then Andy Reid
is a head coach.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
You know, he is so important because he plays both roles,
and we are supposed to accept as a pendulum has
swung so far to any that you should go for
fourth down almost any time and every time, and if
you don't, you get criticized. I mean, Lance Leipold is
a KU coach, took a little heat because he punted
on fourth and seven in his own territory against Maszoo,
(11:57):
Like what the heck?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
But still I.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Proposed to you in the Eagles game going for fourth
down in his own territory and missing, okay, and missing
gave the Eagles a free three points in a low
scoring game.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
And also proposed to you this, Danny, that a lot
of people aren't talking about. They want to bash Travis
Kelcey for, you know, popping the ball up in the
air and having an interception at the goal line. But
the Chiefs went for fourth down back near what the
thirteen or fifteen yard line a few plays before that.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
If they would have just settled.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
For an old school field goal, Danny, Right, that's another
three points just because you go for fourth down if
it's not at the goal line, Danny, I proposed to you.
It may sound like it's the right thing to do,
and it may sound like you did the right thing
if you make it, I propose, not necessarily not if
you end up kicking a field goal a little later,
or you don't make it all the way to the
end zone. That interception did not have to occur. So
(12:52):
I think if Andy would have managed the game as
a head coach a little differently, I think you can
make a case the Chiefs would be ahead at that
last minutes and the Eagles and Chiefs battling it out
with who's the tougher mental team would have been amazing.
But the Eagles are generally the better team all day.
And I think you're going to see a lot of
this where Patrick Mahomes, Steve Spagnola, Andy Reid are going
(13:14):
to have to be so on their games. And next
guy up probably is Chris Jones to say, you know,
blow some things up on defense, and then Travis Kelsey,
and Kelsey has had ups and mostly sideways are downs
in the first two games, and they need him because.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And the frustration is showing finally for him and Mahomes yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
And Chris Jones yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
So I think that's a little bit scary right there,
because they've had such a great locker room and I
always am pointing out that these things are so fragile.
Almost no locker room in any college or pro football
facility is in good shape.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You just hope you win the next week.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So no one builds another level of negativity into the
pro You don't notice it, but it is right there.
And the Chiefs were the one team that was defying
that for multiple years now, from Clark Hunt all the
way down.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Give Andy Reid.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
A ton of credit, but give Patrick Mahomes and Travis
Kelcey a ton of credit for not getting ego driven.
So anyway, the Chiefs have been right in line. But
when we've seen these guys, you know, yelling at each other,
throwing helmets, whatever it's done by your stars, that's not
a good sign.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Danny. That's not all those guys are leaders. Oh those guys, Yeah,
I don't think so. No, that's not right, Danny.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Because the cancer or whatever that is infects every football
program is going to be true for the Chiefs as
well if they don't win games.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
So this has not been good.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
But it's really a continuation of the twenty four issues.
And maybe the most surprising to me is not Andy's
game management. I think that's kind of an aberration and
I may be putting too much stress on that, but I.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Think it's worthwhile.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
I just think Andy has not been drawn up play
as they get guys open. You know, we saw many
years where they were high school open yep, like are
you kidding me? And I really haven't seen that.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Now.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
They're a methodical team and no team is scared of
their running game at all. They are going to play
the pass every single down.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, and that's smart to do. Next up is the Giants.
And obviously you watched the Giants closely because they played
the Cowboys in a crazy game. Giants maybe should have
won the game, and they certainly looked pretty good, I mean,
especially on offense, and their defense is usually better. So
this no pushover for the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
No, and the Giants will be excited about playing in
New York on Sunday night football.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
They really haven't got.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
That feature opportunity very often. And you and I have
talked about this for many years now. Every team gets
fired up when they see the Chiefs uniforms trot out
on the field. I mean, maybe it's respect and nervousness.
Maybe it's the fun of being in on the feature
stage that the world is looking at the Taylor Swift
fans are even looking at. I mean, so I fully
(16:07):
expect the Giants to give you the full bore, best
version of themselves out there, which makes it scary.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
It is the NFL. The Chiefs were way better than
the Giants.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
They might only win by ten points, right, this is
not college, So yeah, it's going to be scary. I
think the biggest thing for them is Russell Wilson played
with more confidence and more of his old school self
in the game against Dallas than he has in three
or four years, maybe even what are.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Two years of Seattle.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
He really threw the ball on target to the right guy,
was great under pressure, I mean third and twenty two
and he throws a strike to the right guy on
time and gets the first down. Just amazing play by
Russell Wilson. And obviously elite Nighbors is a scary wide receiver,
so they And at the running back position, I think
(16:55):
Cam Scattaboo is a wild card. He may not hurt you,
but there could be a critical third or fourth down
play where the Chiefs defense at pretty well and Scataboo
is at this young age still able to have so
much energy and power to run over somebody and keep
up drive alive. So yeah, and the Giants defense is
really their strength, Danny. It's not the offense, right, so
(17:18):
we can brag about the offense a little bit, but
the defense is a strength.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
So it's going to be a real game, and I
think the Chiefs are going.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
To, you know, not run in there with a ton
of confidence and swagger. They're reeling a little bit, you know,
they're looking in the mirror, they're wondering themselves.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
So this this is a super dangerous game.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
But yet I still think if you had to pick
thirty two teams to pick from, who you want to
play on the road, this would be one of my
first choices. Okay, okay, because these guys don't know how
to win. They make the dumbest mistakes. They should have
beat the Cowboys, and they had, oh, I don't know,
one hundred and sixty yards of dumb penalties that just
(17:58):
gave the game.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
To the Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
And a kicker, you know, the Cowboys kicker makes fifty
one and sixty four yard field.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Goals under pressure. Look like no big deal, right, So anyway,
I think I think the Chiefs are favorite.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
I think they'll win the game. If they don't, then
we're going to be I don't know how much time
the Royals are gonna give us next weekend. But we'll
be talking about some we'll be talking about splitting some
hairs on some some negative situations that they lose that game.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
But here's the thing that from the positive point.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Of view, if they were to beat the Giants and
they match up well with the Ravens for some reason
all the time, right, Lamar Jackson just doesn't make the
great plays against the Chiefs. Steve Spagnola Trump's, Lamar, you
come back and win at home against Baltimore. You're two
and two and you've gone through this murderer's row of
schedule and you're.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Two and two. The Chiefs will be fine, right, But
they got to go out and win this. Yeah, they
got to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Let's let's turn to the colleges. And as many problems
as the Chiefs have, the KSU Cats have every bit
those problems, and it's been not good. They've been searching
for answers. The answers aren't there. I know you've talked
about it, and it's sort of, you know, seventy five
percent good place, but the bad plays are hurting you.
(19:10):
More happened again, another game that just didn't look that
good much of the day, but was winnable. It's really
a circle of the wagons with a little extra day
after a Friday game, and you know, a worthy opponent,
not a great opponent, but a worthy opponent on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Well, they they are in a situation they haven't been
in a long long time. Chris Climbent's in his seventh
year and people have spoken about, you know, he loses
an early season game that you just wonder, how did
that happen once in a while, and they bounced right back.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
That's not the situation. Now.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Case States gets off to, for whatever reason, a one
and three start, and that hasn't happened to any A
one in three record to start the year hasn't happened
since Bill Snyder's first year in nineteen eighty nine. So
this is new ground and it's a lo a lot
different than what were the.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Vegas odds such.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
I believe that Caseate was favored in each of their
twelve games right at.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
The start of the year. Now super close NFL style deal.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Not a dominant Alabama or Ohio State's going to crush everybody.
Case Date was a slight favorite over everybody in what
was expected to be a multitude of close games.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
All but one was supposed to be close, and.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
By the way, that one was close North Dakota that
was in the book.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Then only win right now? But when you get back
to it, can.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
They cleanse themselves with the week off and get ready
to play UCF.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I think they've lost their confidence, Danny. It started out with,
you know, the twenty five percent plays like we spoke about,
like where did that come from?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
And seventy five percent of the plays are really good.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Case State's been really poor on money downs, kind of
the fourth down game. If you just took out fourth
down plays this year, case Theate would probably be undefeated
because they've been dominated on fourth down by Iowa State obviously,
Army obviously, and the lack of success on fourth down
when they the ball really cost them against Arizona.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But that's just what we talked about with the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
They've been flawless at the money downs and if you
don't do it, that's a big part of being a
winner or loser. Can Case State get their confidence back
because they they individually were all looking around when it
came to a big play. They were looking around like
what's going to go wrong against Arizona?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Like what's going to happen next? There wasn't a level
of confidence. Swagger is more like, Oh, I.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Hope we don't mess up. I hope we don't mess up.
And so they're in a spot right now. It's really hard.
The thing that the disappointment is going to be giant.
The fans are going to be super hard on them
if they go to social media. But Danny, when they
lost to Iowa State, one important thing was put on
the resume that has been there for a few weeks.
Oh to one in Big twelve Conference play. Okay, that's
(21:55):
really no different than today. It is super hard and
not what anybody wants to hear. But if they're going
to have any success this year, Dandy, they've got to
just turn around and go. It doesn't matter if we
won those three other games. We get a week off
to cleanse and get focused for the grind.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
We're owen one, that's all.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
We're over and one, and we can compete with these
teams in our conference. Just find let's go see if
we can turn this thing around. I think an example
is kind of crazy, but that you can relate to
and your listeners. Danny is, Kansas had everything go wrong
last year, and I thought they were a pretty good
football team, but everything went wrong early and it counted,
and it broke their confidence and in our.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Quarterback didn't play great.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
I'll give you all that, but you remember how k
you played the last forty percent of the year, right,
They were really good and you were going like teams
did not want to see them play in the Big
Troll Championship game against them. They won three straight games
over three ranked opponents, and you know.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
They completely turned it around. It was too late. They
didn't go to a bowl game.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
All those things could be the case for Case State
right now because these four games count and they are
one and three. But that's the mentality they got to have.
At some point, I think they'll kick it into year,
become more of the self that they should be. I'm
not saying that's dominant, but it could turn into some
momentum and win games. But they have got to have
that mentality that they're only zero and want that they're
(23:12):
going to get it done. Because right now, no one's
mad at each other. They're not pointing fingers, but I
don't see anybody on the team looking in the mirror
saying I got this. You know, I'm going to go
help this team win the game. They just keep saying,
let's stay together, let's stay together.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
But the real.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Confidence that you have to put on the field is
not there right now.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
It is not.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
They have a week off this week and then play
UCF to follow at home. Kansas is coming off their
week off, obviously lost to Missouri. It was a loss
that was expected game. It probably went just about the
way you would expect. Now you start things up with
West Virginia, a team that bounced back in their last
game with a win, so they've got a little bit
of momentum just to restart for the Jayhawks.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah, and a real good opportunity because I think the
stats don't look good against Missouri, and Missouri fans are
quick to point out, you know, hey, we had almost
six hundred yards of offense and Kansas didn't run the ball,
and it quickly make it seem like it was a
dominant game. But the fact is Kansas knows deep down
that they fought and had the lead in the fourth
(24:19):
quarter and Missouri had to convert on fourth down on
the next drive.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Or k you would have the ball and the lead.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Okay, and when K you punted that, everyone said Lance
Leifhold shouldn't have punted.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Jalen Daniels put the ball right.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
On the fingertips of the receiver for a twenty five
yard gain in the Missouri territory.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
So I think it's.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Fair for the Kansas fans and their football team to
not look at the stat sheet and just look at
the overall game and feel very good about themselves. And
I think that's what they'll do. That's what they should do.
And then they gear up for a very manageable schedule, Danny.
They can really get some momentum going right now with
the schedule that they have West Virginia at home, Cincinnati
(25:00):
home at UCF. Why couldn't you put together a three
game winning streak. Why couldn't you do it?
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Danny?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
And the excitement level and the veteran quarterback could get
this done. West Virginia is really in disarray right now,
and K you missed an opportunity because they were down
by ten in the backyard brawl. Okay, if you haven't
followed West Virginia, they lost to Ohio at Ohio.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Ohio's a good Mac team, but they lost to a
Mac team. Unacceptable.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
They came home and we're ten behind Pitt and somehow
got those ten points. They were rotating quarterbacks because they
can't find the guy that they want to play. They
literally rotated quarterbacks around in a circle and went back
to the starter. Somehow tied the game on one of
the last plays of the game in one in overtime.
So right now they have their head above water and
(25:50):
are saying, Wow, we beat the hated Pitt and our
fans are on our side again. They've forgotten about the Ohios,
so that gives West Virginia some hope. But the oddsmakers
are sit and they're saying Kansas is a two touchdown favorite.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Right I say favorite. That seems a little extreme to me.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
But West Virginia is really not playing that well, Danny,
so I feel pretty comfortable that it'll be a surprise
if Kansas doesn't win this game.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Missouri had almost six hundred head round six hundred yards
of offense against Kansas. Well, they did it again in
their last game. Obviously it was a lesser opponent in Louisiana,
but the Tigers can only play who they played, and
they looked great again and they've got some real momentum
right now.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Yeah, and this whole who's going to be our quarterback?
That was not that long ago we were talking about that.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
You know, Sam Horn unfortunately gets injured, but Prabulah, he
has put on a show. And the Kansas game was
where I thought all the pressure is on him, and
he put on a show.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
And they've just continued that.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
And then the running backs to surprise us with their
excellence as well. I mean, over one hundred yards rushing
by two backs two games.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
In a row has got to make you feel good.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
And then Eli Drinkle Whi's team in Bazoo is just
the opposite of what happened to Kansas Kansas. If West
Virginia would have lost that game, would they would just
roll in here and say, please please beat us up
and let.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Us go home. We don't want to play football anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Well, South Carolina was considered a top ten team sellers
or quarterback has thought of as what maybe a top
five pick. He gets injured in the game on Saturday
night in Columbia, South Carolina, so he has a concussion issue,
I believe. I'm not sure what his availability will be
this week, or if he'll be full speed. You know,
sometimes they'll let you come back and play Danny, but
(27:36):
your brain cells aren't functioning perfectly.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
You know the story. Well, they got whipped by Vanderbilt, whipped.
They are in shock. Whipped.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Every time they said, oh, watch out, Vanderbilt. You know,
I know you have a lead, but we're going to
do this to you, Vanderbilt laughed and ax separated by
even more and by the end of the game, you're
looking at Vanderbilt could have beat them for three more quarters,
keep playing saying, well, look how great South Carolina is. No,
Vanderbilt was better than them, more physical than them, and
(28:06):
crafty and everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
So they are shot in shock. I mean, I know.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Something that's going on in South Carolina because my soide
used to coach there, know, Shane Beemer, and my daughter
in law, Natalie Baby said Beamer's kids. I mean, she's
a South Carolina grad, she worked with a football program.
Her dad's a big booster who knows all the coaches.
I mean, they had no idea that they would be
looking at this next week, going to Missouri, a team
(28:32):
that normally beats them. Right, it just seems like Missouri
always beats South Carolina. This was a dangerous game on
what is a great schedule by Missou right eight home games,
first time in Missouri history, six home games to start
the year out and the one fly in the ointment
was not Ku, because you should beat KU if you're Missouri.
It's oh my gosh, here comes South Carolina and could
(28:53):
they blow our momentum right now? Missouri's a two touchdown
favorite over them too, And I don't know, Missouri doesn't
have giant advantages. It's going to be a gutsy game.
But Beamer's team can bounce back and fight.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
They've not played well at Missou ever.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
You know, I Stanton was the coach there, and I
knew how good South Carolina was.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
And I previewing a game a couple.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Of years ago, I was going, oh man, this is
gonna be active a battle. And South Carolina act like
someone stole their uniforms. They don't play well against Missou.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And so I don't think they I think they think.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
It's cold here, Danny. I mean, just you know, coming
up all this way, who knows. So I don't want
to be I don't want to take my guard down.
I want to respect that South Carolina was thought of
it as almost a top ten team to finish last
year and up until last week, so they could bounce back.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
This is not an easy game.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
We're not blowing this off and acting like Missouri has
the easiest schedule in the world.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
This is big time SEC football. But still it worked out.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Perfectly for them. It couldn't have been better than Vanderbilt.
Just punch all the juice out of that program and say, now.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
What do you think about going on the road, and
if you can win this one.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Then you got u mass Yeah, I mean you've put
together five wins and Alabama's coming in to rock the
house and yep, how great is Missouri gonna play on
that day?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
So things are really looking good for Missouri.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Things fell their way for Kansas not bad, but boy,
if Pittsburgh would be West Virginia, then Kansas might have
been a play the backups and win the game.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
So they're gonna revived.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
West Virginia and a beating up South Carolina coming in
this week.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Cool stuff always Stan. We will probably do one more
semi full stand next week. We'll see how it shakes
out and go on Royals. Yeah, the Royals. It doesn't
really matter now what they do. But I'll be out
at the ballpark on Sunday because it's the last Sunday
of the year, so I want to do a little
bit about that. So anyway, Stan, always a pleasure, and
(30:50):
we'll talk again probably next week.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Thanks Danny. I always look forward to it.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
And we'll be together again on college football game day
nine o'clock on Radio A ten WHP.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
And when you're out there, if it's not inappropriate, tell
o Salve. I've loved him forever.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
I love him now, and I loved him when he's
a rookie, and I loved him when he was. My
son would say I love Alex Gordon, and I'd say,
I love Salvador Perez. If you want to give him
a big hug for me, I got a picture of
him and me together.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I can show you there. You go down at aarrawhead
when he hit the drum, you know, five years ago
or whenever it was. So I met Salve. But that
Hall of Famer is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, we will talk a little baseball, actually more of
the little baseball and a little bit more coming up next.
It's Monday Musings. Danny and Friends Sports Rap presented by ASFCA.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Thank you Stan, Thank you sir. Quick Looking ahead two
weeks more.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Of Danny's Reasonably Irreverend podcast. After this, we're.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Here with doctor Brad woodhell from Advanced Sports and Family
Chiropractic and Acupuncture. And one thing we like to talk
about is the wide range of services that can help
you out mentally and physically.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
We offer many services from chiropractic, acupuncture, nutritional work, and rehabilitation,
and we take care of patients of all ages from
young to old and customize the care to help them
stay well and stay active.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
What are some of the things that you can do
to help that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
The first thing we're going to do is we're going
to look at prevention. How do we keep you moving
and aligned? Ideally, just like your car, that expensive car
is going to have your top priority and maintenance. You
want to keep it in good shape. This body of yours,
it is worth a lot.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture eight locations all
around the Kansas City area, so you can find one
near you to do all the things that doctor woodhelld
has just stressed. It's as FCA. We're here at the
twenty third Street Brewery with Matt Llewellen all the time.
There's exciting things going on, new water feature, new beers,
and this fall football is back in Lawrence and that's cool.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Football back in Lawrence.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Can you imagine that we actually had to endure a
year without it? Well, it is back, it's back on campus.
We're so happy that they're here. Just like years past.
We offer a free shuttle coming from the twenty third
three Brewery an hour and a half before game time.
We partner with the Boys and Girls Club to do that,
so it's helping a good cause also, so come in
to the brewery early before the game. Free shuttle to
(33:19):
and from the football game. We love to have you
out here, excited to have the Jayhawks back in town
where they belong.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Great food, great beers, great fun during football season at
the twenty third Street Brewery twenty third and Castle in Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Welcome back. Well, if you haven't gone out to the
ballpark too often, this summer, and this is your last chance.
Six games left starts up tonight with the Mariners. This
once upon a time looked like it would be a
really great series, a very important series. In fact, maybe
even two weeks ago, it looked like it might be
an important series. But not now. Even if the Royals
swept this, they'd still be in dire straits. They have
(34:04):
other teams they have to pass. Basically, they have no chance.
They'd have to win every game and that might not
even be enough. And we'll check out our baseball round
up here in a little bit. A lot of things
pretty well decided, couple things to be decided, and what's
to be decided is what's at stake for the Royals. Tangibly,
(34:24):
I guess the thing that's at stake is a winning record.
Of course, the Royals are once you know, spent most
of the season at least a little bit over five hundred,
but now they are dead at five hundred, twelve games
to go, ten games out in the division. Cole Ragan's
is coming back. He's going to pitch a little bit.
They did have some fun events over the weekend. The
(34:45):
Philadelphia series certainly wasn't one that was good as far
as wins and losses was concerned. But a highlight moment
for Salvador Perez who got his three hundredth home run
and thousandth darbi and the same swing of the bat.
Those are two counting statistics that ob Lee bolster his
opportunity to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The
thing that's holding him back in all likelihood his is
(35:07):
on base percentage, which would be one of the all
time lowest ever to enter the Hall. But he's got
time and those counting stats are pretty darn impressive, and
I would say the winning record would make the season
feel quite a bit better. It's obviously doesn't matter that much.
You don't get a bonus or anything for it, but
it looks better to have won, have a winning season
(35:30):
after a playoff season, and so I guess that's on
the table for the Royals. As mentioned Cole Reagan's comes back,
you'd like to see him look good, be healthy, things
like that. Michael Walks coming back after concussion which happened
off the field. I guess we'll probably never know what
happened there, and so I would say that's probably it.
(35:51):
Enjoy baseball the last six games of the year, beautiful
weather at this time of year, and hope the Royals
can win a few games and perhaps get over five hundred.
I think that's going.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
To be tough.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Actually, this is a tough home stand and the Mariners
really need to win games, and then they go out
on the road for kind of a tough West Coast
trip to finish the season. So that's where we stand
with the Royals as they head into the final homestand
beginning tonight with the Seattle Mariners. Around baseball, Toronto Blue
(36:22):
Jays have a five game lead and seemingly the American
League East title not clinched yet obviously, Red Sox and
Yankees battling it out for a second and battling it
out for the second wild card. And that's a battle
actually that's been joined by whoever is not in the
West lead at the moment. And right now the West
lead is held by the Mariners and the Astros are
(36:44):
a half game back.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
There.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
We'll check that out in a minute. Tampa Bay Rays
have faded down the stretch a bit to picked to
They were, just like the Royals, picked a bad time
to start losing a bunch of games, which they have
eight out of their last ten, and the Orioles have
played pretty well for quite a long time. They actually
haven't even been eliminated yet, but they're seventy to eighty
for the season. If they'd started up the season in
(37:06):
mid May, they'd be in contention, but they played awful
at the start of the year. The Tigers have kind
of been in cruise control for a long while. Now
they've split their last ten games. They still have a
six and a half game lead on the Guardians, who
probably going to come up short. Even though they've gotten
red hot. The Guardians have been the streakiest team in baseball.
I would say they go on these long winning streaks
(37:28):
long losing streaks. They've currently lost one night out of ten,
won their last four. As they said, it's kept them
in the race, but just barely, and the Royals at
the break even point Twins have been in the tank
for a while. In the White Sox a slightly better
year this year, but still pretty bad at a three
seventy seven winning percentage, Mariners and Astros will take it
(37:50):
down to the wire. As mentioned Astros a half game out.
The Texas Rangers have surged, although they lost their last
two games, and one of those was to the Astros,
and the Guardians are still in it. We'll check out
the wildcard here in a minute. And the Athletics have
been playing good ball for a while, four wins in
a row, six of their last ten. They are respectable
(38:12):
four to sixty seven winning percentage, and they've given a
lot of entertainment. Sacramento scored a whole bunch of runs,
and the Angels have had their moments, but they end
up with another disappointing season. Twelve games under five hundred.
The Phillies have stepped on the gas while the Mets
have thrown it in reverse. But the Mets look like
they still are going to survive and win the wild card,
(38:32):
even though they just keep losing and losing. Hell, they
were like twenty games over five hundred at one time.
Now they're just four. Marlins have had a decent season,
but never really in contention. The uber underachieving Atlanta Braves
have fourth, and the Nationals will bring up the rear
Baseball's greatest story and should be told, and it's never
(38:53):
really told. The Brewers don't get much attention. They have
clinched their division playoff spot, five games up in the
division ninety one wins. They've sort of slacked off, splitting
their last ten games, and that makes it a lot
less likely they'll win one hundred games. We probably won't
have one hundred game winning team this year. In baseball,
(39:15):
Cubs are solidly in the playoff spot. Red's got hot
for a while recently, but they've backed off and that's
hurt them, and they're in big trouble in the wild card.
But the Mets keep losing, so these teams aren't dead.
And the Giants also have done the same thing. But
out West, the Dodgers have a two game lead on
the Padres that's still up for grabs. Diamondbacks on the
(39:36):
periphery of the wild card situation, so have the Giants,
who have been pretty streaky themselves. And the Rockies have
already lost one hundred and nine games on the season
last I checked. That's not very good, and one year
after the White Sox lost a whole pile of games,
the Rockies have done that too, although they've been better
(39:56):
enough recently that they're not going to surpass the absolute
dumpster fire that the White Sox were last year. Yankee
sold the top Wildcard by a game over the Red Sox.
A Houston has the third wild card spot. Now, Guardians
and Rangers are three games back. Those are the teams
in it, and of course the Royals mathematically, but that's it.
(40:20):
Cubs have the top wildcard in the National League Padres
five games back. Mets look like they're going to hang on.
They've dropped eight of their last ten. They still have
a game and a half lead on the Diamondbacks, so
that's hardly done. And if the Diamondbacks, the Reds or
the Giants went on a little streak, they could get
the job done. We'll see if that happens in National
(40:44):
League baseball. A couple other notes from baseball. Cal Rawley
the other day hit his fifty fourth home run That
set the record for primary catchers at fifty four, and
it ties and he'll likely break it the record of
Mickey Mantle for the home runs by a switch hitter.
The Big Dumper has had a big dumper of a season.
(41:05):
He's dumped home runs into the stands at a prolific
rate and been a great story. So he's probably been
one of the really cool breakout stories as far as
baseball is concerned. This time around. We have two different
stories as far as our local soccer teams. They are
headed to the finish of their seasons and for Sporting
(41:25):
Kansas City it can't come soon enough. They lost the
other day at Utah two to one. It's been a
disastrous season. Carries A. Wagnin has presided over it. He's
been classy. I think he's shown real calmness and everything else.
But I can't imagine that they're going to go in
the direction of changing him from interim coach to full
(41:47):
time coach. I would think, in fact that he'll probably
be working somewhere else next year. That's just speculation by me. Meanwhile,
it was a draw the other day for the Kansas
City Current. It's been nothing but great stuff for them.
They're going to win the regular season and win a
Cup of sorts, but then it's all about the playoffs.
They've just been a great story trying to get healthy,
(42:08):
stay healthy, and continue to provide fantastic entertainment for people
out there at their beautiful CPKC Stadium. They have been
a great story, easily the best regular season team in
the NWSL and waiting for the playoffs, which still are
a few games away, and I'm sure there'll be a
lot of excitement out there. So a tale of two
(42:29):
different stories as far as our local soccer teams are concerned.
And over the weekend, if you didn't pay attention, Scotti
Scheffler won another golf tournament out in Napa. He was
just using it as a tune up for the Ryder Cup,
and tune up he did, and he won and come
from behind fashion and another Ryder cupp Ben Griffin was
caught in passed in the final round. Unbelievable season for
(42:51):
the best golfer in the world, Scotty Scheffler, who has
done some really really amazing things this year thanks to
Stan Weber. What a breakdown of football and hoping for
mostly better things or a continuation of good things for
the Missouri Tigers with a big one on Saturday against
a South Carolina team that needs bounce back. As we
(43:12):
talked about, I bounce back to the area. I'll have
a great music podcast this week and all kinds of
other good stuff. Great to be back in Kansas City,
had some concerts coming up, all kinds of good stuff.
My summer has been pretty remarkable and g if my
fall is half as good. That'll be in pretty good shape.
They'll do it for Monday Musings. Danny and Friends Sports
