And the So everybody. Hello everybody welcome into another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and

joining me on the show and I'm not being hyperbolic one of America's best sports reporters

Sam McDowell a columnist for the Kansas City Star I mean that Sam I follow your

work closely and you just do a tremendous job I really look up to the way that you

write and I am excited to talk to you about the Kansas City Chiefs what is going

on man yeah I appreciate that if you could follow me around and give me that

intro every day, that'd be great. Well, I only read the chief stuff. I don't know

what you write about the Kansas City Royals though. That's got to be a pretty

rough ride. I saw the other day, I don't mean to get off on a tangent here, as the twins are in the playoffs winning playoff games, they won like 50 games that brought their manager back and so I like, oh, okay, I guess that's kind of what you're dealing with there it's like

the exact polar opposites of the world's greatest football team and the world's

worst baseball team.

That's got to be weird.

Yeah, I mean, yesterday, we, so Tuesday morning

there was a post-season press conference

and I was just kind of thinking about the irony of the fact that post-seasoned

baseball for the Royals means literally after the season is over.

We're having a press conference talking about the season. It's not

post-season baseball. Eight straight years now of losing seasons and

they tie the franchise record for the worst season ever. So yeah, it's a little bit different than

covering the team that just won the Super Bowl.

Yeah, our guy, Alec Lewis, came from there covering, you know, the Royals for the Athletic, and then he moved here.

Eventually he'll cover a team that wins. So he's going from like the worst franchise to a franchise that's stuck in the middle and then next maybe he'll return to cover the chiefs or something for the athletic.
