   Vice President Vance walked away from talks with leaders from Iran after 21 hours and the sticking point is a big one.  Iran's new leaders won't sign an agreement preventing them from making nuclear weapons.  That leads to the next step.... the U.S. will block all Iranian ports and cut off all their revenue beginning Monday morning.    Pop some corn, it's fun watching democrats tear apart the career of one of their own... former golden boy Eric Swalwell.  What a mess.    Rory McIlroy blew a six shot lead at the Masters and fell behind Cameron Young and Justin Rose on Sunday before making a comeback with a pair of timely birdies on the back nine.  And there was controversy with a past champion Sunday.    Why are the Royals off to a rough start?  How about this stat for you: Bobby Witt Jr has been on base 28 times this year and has only scored once.  Incredible.   Some people are calling for a vote to approve KCMO spending $600m for the Royals to build a new park.  I"m not one of them.  The people already voted on this by electing the officials doing it.  I debate Pete Mundo on this topic in a spirited segment.    College basketball transfers are happening so fast you can't keep track.  But it seems really strange to see all these KU players leaving.    Our Final Final is something for the cat ladies.
