Summary

WNBA star Brittney Griner is on her way home after 9 months in Russian prison and that's a good thing. The Biden administration traded a man named "the Merchant of Death" for Griner and some believe it was a very lopsided trade. The manager at Olive Garden in Overland Park has been fired after demanding his employees prove they have a real reason to miss work. This is getting national attention. Topeka High basketball coach George Lyons is claiming Valley Center High fans are racist and hollered slurs at his players last week. Did it happen or is this another of those cases where nobody heard it except one person? Kansas City Star Editor Mike Fannin is out after 25 years at the paper. I competed hard against this man when he was Sports Editor but the more liberal he became, the more he got promoted. His DUI this summer was the final straw. Even though I never really liked him, I wish him the best in the future. Patrick Mahomes, appearing on Carrington Harrison's 610 Sports Radio show, may have just made his strongest case yet for what kind of competitor he is. You have to hear what he said about the Bengals. And K-State AD Gene Taylor did not celebrate on the field Saturday with his Big 12 Title winning football team. He was alone in a hotel room watching. You have to hear this.

0:13.9	One of the more challenging parts of being a broadcaster is bringing consistency to any
0:18.1	broadcast or podcast on a daily basis. It is constantly, it has been for
0:24.0	three and a half decades of my life, a challenge to not screw up. You always want to do well.
0:30.1	Everybody wants to do well in their job. Everybody wants to have a great day, excel, have really
0:34.7	great things happen. But I've sort of found over the years,
0:37.9	one of the really important things is to not have the bad days, the bad broadcast, the
0:44.3	mistakes, an error, something you have to apologize for or correct. Corrections are bad.
0:50.5	Mistakes happen. Sometimes you give a fact wrong, whatever. There's no correction here,
0:54.3	but there is sort of an admission that I really jumbled Wednesday's podcast. I think I did
1:02.2	honestly a disservice to our friends at Operation Homefront and AJ Khan, who I've known for
1:07.9	quite a while. I, as you've listened to this podcast, you know that most
1:11.9	the interviews typically happen during the podcast after we do the comments of the day or whatever.
1:17.8	Some of the podcasts are strictly the interview, but some have a little bit of everything,
1:22.6	and most of you have enjoyed it that way. Well, yesterday I went on this rant about KU and M
1:27.2	not playing in the bowl game together, and I went on this rant about KU and M you not playing
1:27.8	in the bowl game together. And then I went to rant about Justin Reed and his ridiculous
1:32.1	comments for the Chiefs. And I was just in one of those moods where I've seen things in
1:35.7	sports that were absolutely driving me bonkers of people just completely disrespecting fans
1:41.8	and maybe not doing the right thing. And I've always had this about
1:45.7	sports. I've always had it in me. I get very passionate about it. I get very passionate about a lot
