The Chiefs have crossed the halfway point of their schedule, and if the season ended today they wouldn't be in the playoffs. It's a strange place to be for the team that's played in five of the last six Super Bowls. On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, Star columnist Sam McDowell shares his thoughts on where thing stand with the Chiefs, starting with Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The sequence at the end of the first half in which the Chiefs settled for a field goal from the 1, was critical in the outcome, according to McDowell. As the Chiefs head into a bye week, we look at the second half of the season and speculate what it's going to take to make the postseason for an 11th straight year. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWhat does it really take to reinvent your life after decades in a stable career? In this inspiring episode of Light Up Your Worth, host Debbie McAllister sits down with Dr. Lori McDowell, CEO of Reimagined You Strategies and author of The Reinvention Mindset, to explore how transformation begins with the courage to listen to your intuition and trust your worth.After a 30-year career in chemical engineering, Lori found herself yearning for more meaning and purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder that fulfillment isn't found in titles or paychecks—it's found in alignment with who you truly are. Lori shares how embracing her reinvention mindset led her from corporate America to becoming a speaker, author, and mindset coach, helping others uncover their authentic selves.In this heartfelt conversation, Lori and Debbie dive into:
It's "Draft Week" here at The Shotgun Start! Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube for this Monday episode, kicking things off with an NFL Minute celebrating a miraculous win by the Bears on Sunday afternoon. Andy is riding high while Brendan is down in the dumps about his Commies and the latest Jayden Daniels injury. Having just re-signed with Smash GC, Graeme McDowell is NOT down in the dumps and instead is positioning himself for a run as the European Ryder Cup captain in 2027. Speaking to Bunkered, McDowell said that he'd like to be the "olive branch" that brings European golf back together and that the divisiveness in the game has come from the top players and not guys like him trying to "eke out a living." Andy and Brendan go off on these quotes, citing McDowell's LIV earnings and reported signing bonus and wondering why he's no longer a DP World Tour member, which seems to be a disqualifying factor in being the next captain. In other LIV/DP World Tour news, Tom McKibbin went wire-to-wire in Hong Kong to secure an invite to the 2026 Masters and an exemption into the Open Championship. Brendan suggests LIV should prop McKibbin up as the prime example of playing a worldwide schedule that still allows pathways into the major championships that do not involve OWGR points. Andy then debuts the much-anticipated 2026 TGL Power Rankings as the league approaches season two. Who does he have ranked first? You'll have to listen to find out! "Draft Week" then gets underway as Andy, Brendan, and PJ draft players as if they were handing out sponsor exemptions to their own tournaments. This popularity-focused draft goes for more rounds than expected, allowing for some insane picks to come into play by the end. To close things out, the "Internet Invitational" is briefly discussed after Andy watched the first week's episodes on Halloween night.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen opens the show by diving into the controversial use of eminent domain along Independence Boulevard. He explains how the NCDOT is seizing portions of private business properties—sometimes just 20 to 40 feet—for public development, raising concerns about whether affected businesses will be fairly compensated. Brett previews an in-depth conversation later in the show with attorneys representing some of those property owners. Later, Jensen sits down with Congressman Addison McDowell for an exclusive 1-on-1 interview to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, its root causes, and the broader implications for both Washington and District 6. McDowell pulls no punches, blaming Democratic leadership for prolonging the crisis and accusing them of leveraging the shutdown to push partisan spending demands—including Medicaid funds for undocumented immigrants. He emphasizes that the House has already passed a clean, bipartisan funding bill and says there's “nothing left to negotiate. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

It was a Ryder Cup Recap show and host Gary Williams was joined by Graeme McDowell and Dan Hicks. Hicks got us started talking about the comeback and when it started to materialize but admitted that the night before preparation was done for topics to discuss on tv should the blowout continue and they needed to fill air time. McDowell, a Ryder Cup winner himself, discussed how Europe has been able to build on their success over the years and has been able to deliver with messaging, visuals, inspirations and more. He also talked about how tight it got Sunday but knew that Shane Lowry was built for the moment. Finally he talked about Rory McIlroy's evolution on the Ryder Cup and how the team knew he was the future and nurtured him during his first appearance and how that has taken hold.

One of the many diverse educational opportunities at the U.S. Army War College are specialized seminars that deep-dive into specific areas of interest. Kurt McDowell and Mike Smith participated in the AY25 Futures Seminar, and they're in the studio with host Darrell Driver to discuss their findings. Sponsored by the J-7, Lieutenant General Anderson, the seminar was tasked with exploring innovation for maneuver warfare in 2040. , McDowell, Smith and the team advocate for an "elastic mindset" and "effectual logic," a means-based approach that focuses on what's available, rather than a traditional causal, end-state approach. They contrast this with the military's current high-certainty planning scenarios, which are often based on specific threats like Russia and China. The first kind of foundational key finding is that the elastic mindset is essential for U.S. military innovation. Kurt McDowell is a colonel in the U.S. Army and the Director of the Washington Field Office for U.S. Southern Command. Previously, he held key armor and information operations roles, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and assignments on the Joint Staff and in U.S. Army Europe and Africa. He is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course at the U.S. Army War College. Michael Smith is a U.S. Army colonel and an Army space operations officer. He most recently served as the Chief of Operations (G33) at U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command and deployed multiple times in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and United Assistance. He is a native of Ambridge, PA, and is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Program at the U.S. Army War College. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Army War College, U.S. Army, or Department of Defense.
