The Chiefs figure to have as many 20 starters returning from their Super Bowl championship squad of 2019. That’s a remarkably high number, and it’s been suggested that consistent success in the NFL requires position turnover, new faces and fresh ideas to keep a team energized. KC Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger have a different take on this episode of our daily SportsBeat KC podcast.

Also, what sport is best positioned to re-start in a curve-flattening COVID-19 world? How would a different division alignment affect the Royals if baseball plays its season at spring training sites in Arizona and Florida? And where should Border War football games between Missouri and Kansas be played — on campus or Arrowhead?

Sit back, plug in and enjoy as we discuss.
