We spoke with Justin Horneker from the Soccer Talk Lads Podcast and Equalizer Soccer about all things KC: - Which player will have the biggest impact - How do offseason moves set this team up for success in the short term, but maybe hurt in the long term? - How KC owners may be the lone example of a team without off-field drama in 2021, and setting a precedent for how a team should be treated - And a ton more in our #AskBAM segment about the most random things you can think of. The #AskBAM segment is jokingly brought to you by the kids that tested Kix and the mom's that approved it. NOT Snap, Crackle or Pop Next week we welcome Ruby and Gary from the Soccer over Gotham Podcast!
