J.R., first off, you know I got love for you, but I don't know why you're trying to paint this picture like things are so grim in Kansas City. The last two Super Bowls, the Chiefs have won both of them. So sure, the Chiefs have a little bit of problems, but what dynasty doesn't have a problem? We watched a whole 10 hour documentary where one of the players in the middle of the season went to Las Vegas just in the middle of the season. During the NBA Finals, they had a player, who went to go wrestle with the NWO. I'm watching Dynasty right now with the New England Patriots.

They had a man who was catching passes and catching bodies at the same time. It is not that bad in Kansas City. They aren't that bad. Well, who said anything about painting a grim picture or anything being bad? I didn't say such a thing. I didn't say nothing bad. I heard the open, J.R. You was painting it like it's this law. No, no, that's not.

Listen, man, you should see what I do when I'm not in the studio, OK? First of all, there is one bad thing, and that's the idiot, Rashid Rice, OK? Everybody else having a beer, fine by me, being in a TV show, fine by me, the owner being a cheapskate.

Debatable. But the one idiot that I got to say is Rashid Rice, man. What's the deal with this dude? This is someone who looked like he can grow into a thousand yards, 10 touchdowns every year, and he's racing in Dallas? And then he's going out to clubs while he's facing eight felony counts?

What's the latest with this man, and what might his immediate future look like when it comes to football? That's a really good question, J.R. I'm just imagining that you have an O.G., right?

I got an O.G., like you got a mentor, you got an uncle, you got a big bro that's going to sit you down at some point and tell you, yo, J.R., you messing up, like you're messing up the money. Like we're talking about a receiver. We just saw the contract that Calvin Ripley got. I mean, that's a very realistic possibility for Rashid Rice, and now you're playing fast in the period? And this was in the middle of the day. He did this at 4 o'clock p.m. in Dallas, Texas.

Obviously a terrible decision. He's driving 119 miles an hour, and then you allude to it. I don't have any problem with guys that want to go out. I go out from time to time. You go out from time to time. There's nothing wrong with that. Bro, you have multiple $1 million lawsuits on your head right now, and you are at Lit Kitchen at 2.30 in the morning on a Monday?

Like, bro, what are you doing? So all the backstory is, I guess he was at the club, it was some photographer. The photographer got too close to him. They had a little physical altercation. He denies it.

I mean, it's at the club. You and I have both been there before. Somebody has videos, somebody has something.

TMZ getting it soon, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Eventually we'll find out what happened. It's just mind-blowing. We all have made mistakes, right?

We're talking about a 22, 23-year-old individual who has been given a whole lot of money. And you guys just won the Super Bowl, you're going back home. First off, you got to get away from Dallas, Texas. You have gotten in trouble two times in the last 45 days, and we haven't even started the summer. They haven't even opened up the pool yet. We haven't even got to where it's really going up outside. It just doesn't make any sense how he's found himself in that situation.

I would take his car keys from him, and he needs to sit inside for the rest of the summer. Do you think? I've heard that he might, and this is prior to the alleged incident on Monday night, I've heard that he was expected to potentially miss half the season.

Is there any word there? Yeah, no, we haven't heard anything. James Palmer, formerly of NFL Network, he was the one that had that report that the Chiefs.

So Brett Veitch came on our station earlier today. He was on the morning show, and Brett Veitch, the general manager, said that the Chiefs are treating it like he is an injured player. They're not going to have him for the early part of the season. The one part I struggle with with all of this is none of us know when the suspension is going to happen.

If you think about Alvin Kamara, remember Alvin Kamara got into that fight in Vegas, and it took him a little bit for the suspension. So I think we all agree that Rice is going to be suspended at some point this season. I'm just not 100% sure when it's going to be. Could it be week one?

Possibly. Could it be week six through week eight? None of us know with the National Football League. I wish that it was black and white, but I think we all know that the NFL, when it comes to this, there definitely is shades of gray in all of this. So I'm just not sure of when he's going to be suspended.

Carrington Harrison is here with us, the JR sport re-show on the Infinity Sports Network. Someone who doesn't have to worry about his future, a couple of years down the line is Travis Kelce. We know that he got an additional two years and almost $35 million tacked on to his current deal. What is the expectation for him as he continues to get older, and how much of a commitment is this?

Is this a favor? Obviously you don't want him to go anywhere, but you commit that amount of money. You're expecting production from a guy who just had his worst season in basically forever. I think this was a, hey Travis, we understand what you mean to us as an organization. We understand that you have made financial sacrifices to be on this team. Travis Kelce has never been the highest paid tight end in the National Football League. This season, Travis Kelce didn't have guaranteed money attached to his deal. So I know like the outside, you kind of read it as, hey, he got a two year extension. This really was, so his contract now gives him a raise for this year. And then you have a fully guaranteed deal for this upcoming season. He then gets guaranteed money for next year. So a lot of this wasn't about extending him for the next four years.

It was about taking care of him short term for the next two years and then seeing what happens after that. Well, Carrington, we know the guy who throws the passes around out there is Patrick Mahomes, and he's still playing on a 45 mil per at this point in time with whatever bonuses he has thrown in there. We know the highest salary is at 55 in Joe Burrow. Is there an expectation at some point that he's going to ride the wave or he's going to look to be the highest paid?

Or is he going to say, hey, I like this because we can spread the money around and win? Yeah, I mean, Patrick Mahomes just got another contract extension. So they actually reworked his contract less than a year ago. So he signed that massive deal, what, three years ago now, the big one, you know, 10 years, 450 million, which is a little bit different.

But I don't want to get too deep into the numbers. But he actually just renegotiated his deal to kind of keep in line with the current market. And then if you kind of look at the way that is structured, probably in four years, they'll have that same conversation again. I would just I would describe his contract is living, that there is an open line of communication that whenever Patrick is unhappy about his deal, they will sit down, they will talk about it and they will rework it. So I understand how it looks that you keep seeing these big contracts getting signed. But Patrick's contract is really isn't something that comes up. I mean, Chris Jones contract obviously was a big deal in Kansas City this past offseason. Kelsey's deal has been a big point of conversation because he's never been the highest paid guy. Patrick's a deal I think is kind of known in Kansas City.

Hey, Patrick is fine. He understands that he makes a lot of money off the field. He's certainly not hurting for any money.

And both sides are always working together. And Carrington Harrison is joining us from the Drive 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City with all this money talk that's thrown around. We've heard over the past couple of months that the Chiefs from an ownership perspective, people are looking at the hunts and saying that they're cheapskates. And what's going on with that in the locker room scenario? What Phil said?

I mean, he absolutely is. I don't want to call him a cheapskate. I would say cutting corners, pinching pennies. That sounds a little bit better.

They call it a cheapskate. So there was a story. So the NFL players, they basically do, you know, like everybody's job.

They do some anonymous survey where they can talk about their employer. So one of the players said that they were told as a team, hey, after the Super Bowl, we're going to renovate you guys locker room. We're going to take care of you guys. But then they won the Super Bowl and then they didn't have enough time to do it. So all they got were new chairs in the facility. There was another story where Patrick Mahomes was shooting an interview and they don't have air conditioning in the practice facility.

Pat kind of got upset about it, you know, and then he kind of stormed off and all of that. So, I mean, there is no question that the Chiefs could spend more money. This is where I will defend the Chiefs just a little bit here as an organization. They know that no one wants to hear millionaire players complain about their work conditions. They know that.

In college, you think about it. They have to give you the nice locker room because they can't pay you directly, right? So that's why Alabama can have a $200 million facility to practice and do all this stuff. Because they use that money to attract athletes. In the NFL, they already pay you a salary.

And then, you know, no one wants to hear them complain, oh, hey, you know, I don't like certain things about my job when the general public is going to tell you shut up and go back to work. Heck, even here in Kansas City, that's what people were telling them. Hey, you guys want to win championships and we win championships. So, hey, we'll figure it out. I mean, right now, they don't have plans to completely renovate the practice facility.

Who needs air conditioning? Share a jockstrap. Here's the 50 cent for Gatorade. Wow. I mean, if you think about it, it's kind of like that one thing from Major League. You remember whenever, you know, early in Major League One, you know, the plane was all messed up.

The hot tub was all messed up. I mean, that's basically Kansas City. Well, Carrington, this is a larger issue. This would affect the fans. There's been a lot of conversations about whether or not a new stadium is going to go up out there near Kaufman, whether or not it's going to move to the Kansas side. So what's the latest there?

I know the fans are going to put their foot down. What's up? So there was a tax that was proposed. So basically, you know, I live in Jackson County.

I live in Kansas City, Missouri. Everything you buy there is a tax and that money goes directly to the team. So that money is going to expire in 2031. The Chiefs and the Royals wanted to extend that tax for another 40 years.

And J.R., they lost in every single they lost they lost everywhere across the Kansas City metro. Nobody passed this thing. So now both sides are kind of going to the drawing board. What do we want to do? What's next? We'll certainly see what happens. I mean, both teams have to stay where they are for the next seven years. So a lot of talk is very premature about them moving to Kansas or moving anywhere. We just got to see what happens. Wow.

Wow. Speaking of a move we learned today, what's the latest here with Travis Kelsey? I mean, he's hanging out, obviously, with Taylor Swift. Is he going to what's this new show? He's in a new Netflix series.

What's this about? He actually has two shows right now. So he is going to host.

Are you smarter than a fifth grader? That's starting on Amazon this summer. And then he's doing some show on FX. I think it's called Grotesque is the name of the show.

It's like some American horror story. I don't know. Travis Kelsey is going to play two more years in the NFL. You look at the way that his contract is structured. He has two years of guaranteed money left. Thirty seven million dollars.

He's going to make the thirty seven million dollars. Him and him and Taylor Swift are going to get married. They're going to have children. They're going to live a very happy life.

And then he's going to and then he's going to turn into Michael Strahan or The Rock. Wow. Well, that was good. You beat me to my next question. You gave me the answer. I was going to ask, you know, do we got another dating show coming with Travis Kelsey? And you told me the answer is no.

You told me no. No, he's not. They are.

He is dating the most famous person in the world. Like, it's crazy to be here and just, you know, how it is like Travis goes out, but now it's a lot more low key than it was. I mean, they will go to a restaurant and then that restaurant will say, you know, a week later, hey, Travis and them were here. They were great.

We love them. They'll put it in the paper. And then you cannot get a reservation for that place afterwards. And that's basically been the last like eight months in Kansas City.

You find out where they were and then no one can go to that place. They are living an incredible life. Travis Kelsey has one life lottery. He is a first ballot Hall of Famer. People think that he is the people think he is the greatest person to ever play his position. Good looking guy.

He's about to be on TV and he's dating Taylor Swift. Yeah, very strategic maneuver for him. Congratulations, right? Absolutely. Oh, how about that?

Well, Carrington, thank you for taking the time to hop on. What are the Chiefs doing this upcoming season, man? Are we are we favored for a repeat?

What's the word? I mean, you know, have you watched the AMC? Who are you worried about in the AFC? Look at Buffalo. They got their own problems. Cincinnati is unhappy.

Joe Burroughs talking about his ankle is still messed up. Who am I worried about? Houston. OK, we heard it. Carrington, where can people follow you and your work, whether it be on 610 here on infinity? Fill us in. Follow me on Twitter, twitter.com CDOT Harrison, CDOT Harrison.

I host in Kansas City every day from 2 to 6. When Taylor Swift puts out the other breakup record, we'll be sure to have you back. Please don't know.

You know what? The one thing I don't want for him and I don't want for Travis Kelsey. I don't want Travis Kelsey to have some terrible breakup with Taylor Swift. I don't want that either. How is that terrible for everybody else?

How? Because you know what I don't want? I don't want Taylor Swift just banging away for an entire album about how Travis Kelsey did her wrong. You don't want, JR, you will never, ever, ever not hear that song. You will hear that song from now until eternity.

If you're telling me that Taylor Swift makes a I Hate Travis Kelsey record? No, I don't want that. It'll be in H&M all day, right? All day. That's fine.

It's been a while since I've been in there. Carrington, I'll catch you on down the line, man. Thank you so much.

I appreciate you guys. Here's why April chose to vaccinate her child. I think actually meeting someone who was not vaccinated and now has a lifelong struggle with a childhood disease really cemented for me that it's super important that we as parents continue to vaccinate our children.
