Around The Clock Sports

In this episode of our podcast, we welcomed a new member to the team, Jarvis Jones, and dove straight into the exciting developments in Kansas City sports. We kicked things off by discussing the Kansas City Royals making it to October, a feat that surprised many fans given their struggles last season. We reflected on the lack of buzz around the team compared to their playoff runs in 2014 and 2015, attributing it to factors like limited media coverage and the team's previous poor performance.

As we transitioned to the NFL, we analyzed the Kansas City Chiefs' current season, noting their 4-0 record but also highlighting some struggles, particularly in Patrick Mahomes' decision-making and the impact of injuries on the team. We debated the effectiveness of Mahomes' play style, with differing opinions on whether he should rely more on his improvisational skills or stick to a structured approach.

In addition to discussing the Chiefs, we touched on the broader landscape of the NFL, including the injuries affecting key players across the league and the challenges faced by young quarterbacks like Anthony Richardson. We also speculated on potential trades, including the possibility of acquiring big-name players like Devontae Adams or even a reunion with Tyreek Hill.

Overall, this episode was packed with insights and lively discussions about the current state of Kansas City sports, the challenges teams face, and the excitement of the upcoming games. We appreciate our listeners for joining us and look forward to more engaging conversations in future episodes!
