Mellinger podcast: Chiefs freakouts, KU blowouts, Royals contracts + sports on TV
This week we start with something I hear a lot of you doing: freaking out about the Chiefs.
Questions hit on KU’s blowout loss to USC, the potential of Eric Fisher returning to the Chiefs, and the Royals’ usage of extensions to keep guys like Salvador Perez and Hunter Dozier in Kansas City.
The bonus segment is with David Carter, executive director of the Sports Business Institute at USC, a great person to talk about this trend of fans being able to watch their favorite teams in local markets.
