   A new video of left wing agitator Alex Pretti was released by the BBC and it shows Pretti spitting at federal agents, screaming eff you's, flipping the bird and kicking out the tail lights of their car.  Peaceful protest indeed.  Pretti, carrying a gun, was taken to the ground and according to CNN suffered a broken rib.  Amazingly, the didn't see the gun and let him go.  Agents drove away.  It's no wonder these thugs think they can get away with anything.    Bruce Springsteen has a new song for the people of Minneapolis and my inbox is filling up with listeners that are deleting him from the playlists.    Mayor Q says on radio that he was listening to our reporting about the Royals on Tuesday and I"m actually very happy for him.  If a mayor found a way to get baseball downtown without a public vote, he deserves a statue at the new park.    Vahe Gregorian of the KC Star pens a piece on why he didn't vote for Bill Belichick for the Hall of Fame, the very first person to admit it.  When you hear his reason, you will understand just how different liberals and conservatives are in the way they think.   Adam Schefter reports Gardner Minshew is 100% healthy and never did blow out his ACL.  That means something bad was going on with the Chiefs, or their doctors.    And gentlemen, we're about to share something with you that isn't available anywhere but KC.  Its a new concept called www.flexcaves.com and its a place for business, storing a car or boat or having your weekly poker game and smoking cigars in a condo-like storage unit.  They break ground this year in Martin City and Brett Johnson is here to explain why he thinks his ideas will be a huge hit.

Vahe Gregorian, of the KC Star and NGL Hall of Fame voter, joined The Drive to explain why he did not vote for Bill Belichick.

With moves on the touch line and questions on the field, Sporting KC are moving on from the likes of Vermes and Vlatko...The KCStar's Daniel Sperry visits to look at all the changes and where they may point in 2026

For the Glory KC is back with the 163rd episode of the show and the second show of 2026!Sporting Kansas City had a pretty big week. No, they didn't do much to fill out their miniscule roster, but it's almost certainly bigger than that. On Friday, news broke that Sporting KC minority owner Peter Mallouk was taking over as majority owner, holding an estimated 80 percent of the team. Sheena and I get into what this means for the team this season and beyond. Sam McDowell from the KC Star got an interview with Mallouk and we discussed several of his big quotes:“What you're going to see next season is a big, big financial commitment,” he said, “to do whatever it takes to build upon what we're building upon this season. ""I really would say 99.5% of the metric I'm going to care about is winning. And 0.5% will be everything else.”“The fans are incredible,” Mallouk said. “They deserve a competitor all the time.”There was actual movement on the roster with the signing of Calvin Harris. We got an inside take from the Burgundy Wave's Matt Pollard who has covered the Colorado Rapids for years. Sheena and I discuss the rumor that Cesar Inga is on his way to Kansas City. And we can't leave out the weird and wild Rogers Mato story. It doesn't stop there though, as SKC won their first preseason game and we have updates on Roger Espinoza, Willy Agada, Robert Voloder, Mason Toye, Paulo Nagamura, Alenis Vargas and Ramiz Hamouda.The KC Current also had a fairly big week with the announcement of their schedule, the trade of Nichelle Prince and some unfortunate injury new for Michelle Cooper and Temwa Chawinga.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:England, Netherlands and Argentina are all rumored to want to do World Cup base camp in KCLindsey Heaps is coming to the NWSLKC Comets pick up two big winsHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC sold! - 9:14SKC Sign a Player and lots of other stories - 25:11KC Current Schedule, Prince trade and more - 54:16Digital Crawl - 1:11:58As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

For the Glory KC is back with the 162nd episode of the show and the second show of 2026!On this week's episode of For the Glory KC, we discuss the official hire of Sporting Kansas City coach, Rapha Wicky. On Tuesday, he completed his first press conference with the media, and we unpack the details. Topics covered are the length of his contract, how many more players need to be signed by CSO David Lee, and the style of soccer Wicky and Lee want Sporting KC to play. We also learn some fun facts about Wicky, most importantly (for Sheena) we uncover his hair regimen.The topic of Sporting KC's youth development was also discussed at the press conference. Will SKC Academy players have their best opportunity for a starting position on Sporting KC or SKC II since the roster is bleak? There are a lot of them coming to preseason.31 players total will be traveling for preseason, which has kicked off in Florida. There are three trialists, two SKC II players, one draft pick, and eight Academy Players who will be joining the team.

Sheena and I discussed the press conference along with the ESPN and KC Star articles around the hire and give our thoughts. Highlights include the decision-making process and all the qualified candidates the Longs apparently turned down to stick with Armas. On top of that, the news that Canadian Men's National Team coach and apparently Chris Long's college friend, Jesse Marsch made the recommendation to hire Armas.In the KC Current round-up we say farewell to Bia, hello to forward Ameilia White, and give an update regarding Clare Gagne.

   Sam McDowell of the KC Star reports that a bullet was shot through the window of Andy Reid's office in May of 2024 while Andy was in the room.   Why would it take 18 months for this story to get out?  The timing is curious to say the least, we have a couple theories.    JD Vance is speaking out about bringing Elon Musk back into the Republican Party and according to reports, Musk is on board.  This could mean the end to any attempt at a third party.   An American in Alaska with a WW II era Soviet motorcycle is gifted a brand new Russian bike by Putin.    The Royals give one away in the 9th inning but don't lose any ground.  The Chiefs trade Skyy Moore which is no small miracle.  The Pats coach has a problem at Starbucks.    And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is back with a preview of the SEC and Big 12 and a couple free picks for you in Week Zero of college football.  

Stephen Serda wishes Skyy Moore a farewell as his trade to the 49ers becomes official and the Chiefs are reportedly in the market for a running back. Also, the Kansas City Star had a pretty crazy story about a bullet passing through Andy Reid's office window at the team facility. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

   Midnight Hammer was carried out with precision and force over the weekend as three nuclear sites in Iran are obliterated.  It was overwhelming strong and safe for our pilots and the remarkable sailors on a submarine 400 miles away undetected.   Our men and women at Whiteman Air Force Base were flawless carrying out this mission and we couldn't be prouder the Show Me state produced a Show Stopper for the ages.  This is America First.    The young person that set a pair of Teslas on fire in KC is looking at real prison time and that has the KC Star's panties in a wad.   These are the same people that praised locking up old ladies that walked into the capitol building to take a picture and walking out on January 6.  Imagine that.    The Royals were winning a classic low scoring game on Sunday, their specialty, before they let it slip away.  It's exactly the kind of game this team has to win almost every time they get the chance.    The NBA Finals were set up for a dramatic game 7 when a devastating injury to Indiana's star player in the first quarter put a damper on things.  LSU wins the College World Series, Simone Biles has had it with social media and golfer Keegan Bradley wins and creates a Ryder Cup dilemma for himself as he's the team captain.

   All the excitement around Jac Caglianone being called up by the Royals was expected... all the controversy was not.  Here's why those saying the Royals are crazy to do this right now are just flat wrong.    The KC Star is making up bizarre reasons why Missouri will not get stadium support funding done in the special session.  How bizarre?  Would you believe they are blaming Pride Month?    KJ Adams is out of hoops for at least a year with an achilles injury and had said goodbye to KU.  Now he's back as Bill Self has offered him an incredible opportunity to rehab with KU's team of providers while working on the basketball "staff."    Trump polls are climbing even higher and some liberal pollsters are started to put together pieces about what makes conservatives tick.    The illegal alien terrorist that set fire to Jews in Colorado has ties to USAID.  And one of the escaped prisoners in New Orleans posts a video asking Donald Trump for help and suggests he will turn himself in.    Our Final Final is about Bills quarterback Josh Allen's celebrity wedding and a guest that has everyone scratching their head.
