Mellinger podcast: a Chiefs prediction, lots of rants and KC Royals’ Matheny opens up
Somehow, we live in a world where the NFL announcing a schedule that we already know is the biggest sports news of the week. So we talk about that here at the top, including a prediction that is too homer-ish for my comfort, but also something I believe. So that’s something I’m going to have to think about.
Anyway, the questions turned into a sort of airing of grievances this week — Kansas Citians need to chill out, Sinclair’s short-sightedness and the immediate future, the line at Joe’s — and something about the Chiefs’ offensive line that will make you smarter than your friends.
The bonus section is with Royals manager Mike Matheny, who is open and honest about what he’s seeing and feeling during the Royals’ worst stretch in years.
