I did a presentation earlier today that was 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: a nationwide event, so that's why I'm here. But we 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: can start the show that way of just this award, 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: what it means and what it's meant to the Chiefs. Yeah, 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: it means everything. It's so much more important than so 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: many other awards, things like MVP's Offensive Rookie of the Year, 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: stuff like that that the Chiefs have had players win 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: in the decades that they've been around. Those things are 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: great and really important to us. But the Man of 26 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: the Year award is about what you do on the 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: football field and what you do off of it. And 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: that's so important because when you have a giant platform 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: like these guys, do you want to make the most 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: of it and make your community a better place.

We've entitled this one the 42 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: Fireworks Display. We will get to that in a second, 43 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: but first, let's go around the world here to see 44 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: who are some of our defending the Kingdom viewers and 45 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: listeners are. And let me start with a couple. This 46 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: is fine. I got one Jason Drummond from Garden City, Kansas. 47 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Now there's a garden City, Missouri, but this is garden City, Kansas, 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: where Tyreek Hill played his junior college football with the 49 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: Garden City Bronchbusters the Jayhawk Juco League. They've had many 50 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: many NFL players go through there. But that's one. But 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: here's a funny one. This just came in where his 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: name is Josh no War. He's a huge Chiefs fan, 53 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: grew up in Kansas City. Maddie just recently asked for 54 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: a woman's hand. I mean he reached out with an engagement. 55 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Here a proposal with a Buffalo Bill's native, a Buffalo 56 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Bill's fan. Her name is Candice Corey. She supposedly accepted. 57 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: They're going to get married in May. But this seems 58 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: like really peculiar timing for Kansas City young man to 59 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: propose to a Buffalo young lady. Did he propose after 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: he knew that the Bills would be our opponent or 61 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: was it before? Is this just a really unfortunate coincidence 62 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: or did he know? I don't know, but the Premier 63 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: age counseling I ought to be very very interesting, particularly 64 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: what happens on Sunday night in those epic games. We're 65 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: going to jump into the fireworks display. But let's who 66 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: do we have around the world that is listening and watched. Well, 67 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: I'll say good luck to his marriage. This is a 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: rough way to start, hopefully a big Chiefs victory, but yeah, 69 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: lots of people all over the world and all over 70 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: the country. So we'll start with around the world. We 71 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: have Andrew in New South Wales, Australia. He became a 72 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: fan of the Chiefs watching Christian Nakoya back in the nineties. 73 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: He's been a fan ever since. We have David and 74 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Tapei Taiwan, Cheryl and Bulgaria, Jed and Chester England. A 75 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: fan in Bangkok, Thailand.

He's been a fan since nineteen eighty six, 78 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Ottawame in Nigeria and then Sebastian in Germany. And this 79 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: is kind of a cool story on how he became 80 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: a fan. He was visiting his wife's friends in Kansas 81 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: City in twenty sixteen. He didn't know really much about 82 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs at all, but they went to a Chiefs game. 83 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: Guess what game it was. It was the season opener 84 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. The huge comeback, seventeen point comeback, Alex 85 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: Smith going crazy. That was his first ever Chiefs game. 86 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: He hasn't missed a game since, watches all the games 87 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: on TV. He's a huge fan now. So it's cool. 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Home moments like that can make you a fan for life. 89 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: Then lots of fans around the country. So Nate in Manhattan, Kansas, 90 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: Brandy in Winterport, Maine, Paul and Tonga, Knoxy Kansas, Larry 91 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: in Bakerton, Pennsylvania, Eric and Sioux City, Iowa, Emily and 92 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas out there in enemy territory. A fan in Brooklyn, 93 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: New York. And this is a cool story too. So 94 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: he was a kid in nineteen eighty six and he 95 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: had some football cards and everybody was a New York 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: Giants fan in Brooklyn obviously, and he had some Giants 97 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: football cards. A bully tried taking advantage of him and 98 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: traded some other football cards for this guy's football cards. 99 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: One of the cards that he got was a Christian Nakoi, 100 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: a rookie card. He's been a fan ever since. So 101 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: Christian Koya all over the world is making choos fans 102 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: for life.

They want to 107 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: claim Mount Washington, Kentucky as Kingdom East. So from here henceforth, 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Mount Washington, Kentucky is Kingdom East.

Independence? 170 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: Is at Kansas City, it's all of that and it's 171 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: none of that that's a whole other story sometime that 172 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: I did with my daughter. Wow. Wow, that was an education. 173 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: But yes, Riverside for sure. Yeah, but I totally agree 174 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: about your thesis. Looking at this game, it is a 175 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: fireworks show. And how happy is the NFL that this 176 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: is a collision course game for these two teams. And 177 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: it's exciting because both teams are playing at their peak 178 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: right now, and I think that's really important from the 179 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: Chief's perspective. The Bills have had a great season. We 180 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: know that they were really hitting on all cylinders early 181 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: in the year when we saw them, and they kind 182 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: of went through a lull there in the middle of 183 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: the season, and now they're hitting on all cylinders again. 184 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: A perfect game really offensively for them against the Patriots. 185 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: No turnovers, no punts, no field goals, scored a touchdown 186 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: on every single drive, with the exception of their last 187 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: drive where they were taking a knee. That was a 188 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: game where I think they unleashed about thirty years of 189 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: frustration on Big Brother. I was thinking back to that 190 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven game against the Bills when the 191 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: Patriots were like truly unstoppable and they scored like fifty 192 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: one points on him or something crazy like that. I 193 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: think the Bills were thinking about that and their fans 194 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: were thinking about that throughout that game against the Patriots 195 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: this past weekend. But the Chiefs are playing great football 196 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: right now too. And after a slow start against Pittsburgh, 197 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: I'll go what Patrick Mahomes did after the t J. 198 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: Watt defensive touchdown. So the Steelers get a touchdown right defensively, 199 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: and people are all wondering, oh man, can the Steelers 200 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: pull us upset from then on out? Patrick Mahomes completed 201 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: twenty four of twenty seven passes for five touchdowns and 202 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty nine yards. He had more touchdown 203 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: passes than in completions to close out the game. I mean, 204 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: that's MVP. That's Patrick Mahomes caliber football right there. For 205 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: him to have that game and have that confidence right 206 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: now throwing the football going into this game I think 207 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: is huge. Crazy what he did have twenty points and 208 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: ten and a half game minutes. I mean that shattered 209 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: the Tom Brady mark in the playoffs by fifteen game minutes. 210 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just mind boggling. But let's give Josh 211 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: Allen his due. You mentioned that Patriot game the fact 212 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: that at one fifty seven point six rating, he was 213 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: only the third player in NFL history Josh Allen dead 214 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: five plus touchdown passes, no interceptions and fewer than five 215 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: in completions. Only Peyton Manning in two thousand and two 216 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: when he was a cult against Denver, his future team, 217 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: and then Kurt Warner in two thousand and eight for 218 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals against the Packers did what Josh Allen did 219 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: last weekend. So it's interesting that we are seeing these 220 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: two high powered offenses, and Buffalo, to me, over the 221 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: years has started to emulate the Chiefs just more and 222 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: more and more. We know about stuff on Diggs. We 223 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: know how outstanding he is on the long passes. We 224 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: saw it in October in that Buffalo victory when he 225 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: got free for a sixty one yard But now Dawson Knox, 226 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, Gabriel Davis, they're using Devin Singletary more in 227 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: the run game and the passing game. There's just a 228 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 1: lot of things to account for it. Think of that 229 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: fireworks bill when you walk in in February and there's 230 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: all these fireworks. The same with the Chiefs, because now 231 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: we've seen the growth in guys like Byron Pringle, Jerry 232 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: McKinnon last week. There's enough weapons anyway, But both of 233 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: these teams have just added to the arsenal. Both of 234 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: these teams don't pigeonhole guys into certain roles, and that's 235 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: what you do. You're just a running back, You're just 236 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. This is the offense that we run. 237 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: Both teams really utilized the athletes that they have on 238 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: the field in a variety of different ways. So you 239 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: mentioned all the threats that Buffalo has, Stefan Diggs, yes, 240 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: amazing player, but also Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders, Gabriel Davis, 241 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned Devin Singletary. Lots of good athletes on this 242 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: Buffalo squad where they can stretch you out, they can 243 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: stretch you vertically as well. But the best athlete on 244 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: the field is their quarterback and Josh Allen and he's 245 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: an amazing passer. We all know that he's a great arm, 246 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: great story, you know, raising his completion percentage from at Wyoming. 247 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: That was the concern about him. Can he complete enough 248 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: passes in the NFL? Yeah, he can. He can really 249 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: complete passes at a high level. But his running ability 250 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: is the thing that makes him so special in my opinion. 251 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: So he has seven hundred rushing yards this year and 252 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns. He has forced thirty seven missed tackles 253 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: this season, according to Pro Football Focus, that's the most 254 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: of any non running back in the NFL. Twenty three 255 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: times on third down this season, and we saw it 256 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: back in that Week five matchup. He'll just take the 257 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: ball and run a quarterback power or run to the 258 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: side somehow and he'll get the first down. Twenty three 259 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: times he's moved the chains on third down by himself 260 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: with his legs this year. This dude is six five, 261 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty pounds. So the important thing here 262 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs is they have to maintain gap integrity 263 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: against this guy. Got to maintain your assignments, hold the 264 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: edge against him, and if you have an opportunity to 265 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: sack Josh Allen, you have to bring him down because 266 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: what we've seen this year when he's struggled, and he 267 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: has struggled at times under pressure, when he can't get 268 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: out and scramble, if you can sack him and create 269 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: a negative play for this offense, throws the whole thing 270 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: off schedule and they struggle as a unit. But when 271 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: they're on schedule and he gets to third and three 272 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: and four, that's where they're at their best. So the 273 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs I suggest that they blitz. I suggested to get 274 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: pressure early and often in this game and make sure 275 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: you wrap him up when you have an opportunity to 276 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: do so. Because he's a great athlete, and when he 277 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: can get the ball out to his other athletes on 278 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: the field, this team is very tough to beat. Yeah, 279 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: when you look at what he's been able to do, 280 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: he had thirty six passing touchdowns. We're talking regular season 281 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: numbers here. This is not even taking account his five 282 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: tosses last week against New England for touchdowns and then 283 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty three rushing yards. Only three quarterbacks 284 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: in the history of the league have had thirty plus 285 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: touchdown passes and seven hundred plus rushing yards. Lamar Jackson 286 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen and that phenomenal year he had, Randall Cunningham. 287 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: We're going all the way back to nineteen ninety and 288 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen in twenty twenty one. But and I love 289 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: his game. I love his game. Respect him. There's still 290 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: the eighteen giveaways people have talked about Patrick Mahomes and 291 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: Hey interceptions which have gone away except for last week 292 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: on the batted pass, but generally wasn't like at the 293 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Let's be honest, Josh Allen on 294 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: a eleven and six regular season team had the third 295 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: most interceptions in this league. Only Trevor Lawrence and Matthew 296 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: Stafford had more, and three lost fumbles those were early 297 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: in the year. Those were all prior to the Chiefs game. 298 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: But to your point, you triggered that thought by saying 299 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: what you said. You have to be able to pressure 300 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: him in containing. The other thing that's impressive about Buffalo 301 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: as their design runs. You mentioned somebody who was on 302 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: here from Kse State that now works in Bangkok, Thailand. 303 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: I think, well, they would love Colin Klein winning a 304 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Bigsworld Championship on basically quarterback design runs. We've seen it 305 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson with Buffalo, but nobody's been as creative 306 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: in these quarterback design runs and the Buffalo Bills. They 307 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: make it look like a pass like they get into 308 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: New England and it's like a screenplay. Within the next instant, 309 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: the Linemen convert. They were on a quarterback power play, 310 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: and it just puts a lot of pressure on any defense. 311 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: So the Chiefs defense, which you and I both have 312 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: a ton of confidence in, they're just going to have 313 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: to be on their game with Josh Allen, either throwing 314 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: or run him. I think those moments that you're talking 315 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: about where you have a chance to get Josh Allen 316 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: and he makes a guy miss and gets twenty yards, 317 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: those are the plays that can win or lose this 318 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: game for the Chiefs. If you look at the numbers here, 319 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been pressured two hundred and fifty three 320 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: times this season. That's the most of any quarterback in 321 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's really interesting though. He's basically unbeatable when 322 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: he has a clean pocket, but when he's pressured, relatively speaking, 323 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: his numbers do go down. He struggles a bit when 324 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: he's pressured, but if you allow him to create magic 325 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: with his legs. He has the most big time throws, 326 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: which are a subjective stat by Pro Football Focus, but 327 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: it basically means when you make a great throw in 328 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: a tight window. He has the most big time throws 329 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: under pressure of any quarterback in the NFL and the 330 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: most scrambles under pressure of any quarterback in the NFL. 331 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: So it's a razor thin margin where if you can 332 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: get pressure on him and sack him or force him 333 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: into a fumble or an inner set, that's a huge 334 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: play for the defense. But if you have one guy 335 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: that he breaks the tackle or you can't quite bring 336 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: him down and he makes a big play, that can 337 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: go the other way and it's a big win for 338 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense. So I cannot emphasize enough how important 339 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: it is for when he's scrambling out of the pocket 340 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: that you have to take him down and not allow 341 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: him to make a big play, because that's that's truly 342 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: I think one of the major keys to this game. Yeah, 343 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's looking for his first road playoff victory. He's 344 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: owing to losing to the Chiefs last year in the 345 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. And Sean McDermott again one of Coach's disciples, 346 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: he was he started out, that was his entry point 347 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: in the National Football legos with the Eagles with coach 348 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: Reid and coach McDermott doing a great job with this 349 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: team owing three on the road in the playoffs, So 350 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: that's something they're trying to overcome. And with the Chiefs 351 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: offense here, we've seen it starting to click. And I 352 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: didn't mention guys like mcole Hardman or to Marcus Robinson, 353 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: who to me, their confidence level we're sitting here on 354 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: middle of January has grown almost exponentially since the middle 355 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: of November. We talked about the defense improving, but we've 356 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: seen these individual offensive guys pop up. D Rob's going 357 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: into this game and for sure McCole Hardman are going 358 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: into the high degree of confidence to be able to 359 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: compliment and help kind of subsidize Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey. Yeah, 360 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: and guys like Jerk McKinnon he mentioned earlier Byron Pringle 361 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: had two touchdowns last week. That confidence level is so 362 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: so important because we know Tyreek Hill will get his coverage, 363 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: we know Travis Kelsey will get his coverage, so other 364 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: guys have to step up and then open things up 365 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: for guys like Hill and Kelsey, and for those guys, 366 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: particularly late this season, so against Pittsburgh and the regular season, 367 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: when we didn't have Kelsey and Tyreek Hill had just 368 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: come off the COVID list and only got a couple 369 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: of targets, it was so important for those guys to 370 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: get a moment to show, hey, when it really matters, 371 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: we can be the guy. They showed that they could 372 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: do it, not just to the world, but also to 373 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: themselves and to the coaching staff. So then in the playoffs, 374 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, these guys are now making big 375 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: plays when it's needed. How awesome was Jerk McKinnon against 376 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers one hundred forty two scrimmage yards on 377 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: eighteen touches in that game. He was huge when the 378 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs were really hurting in their backfield Byron Pringle, great 379 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: catch on that fade, the quick cut in on a 380 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: fake slant, then goes right to the corner of the 381 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: end zone and catches that touchdown pass that really got 382 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: things rolling for this offense. So I think that confidence 383 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: in themselves and also Patrick mahomes confidence and those guys 384 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: that they can go out there and make big plays 385 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: when needed super important going against this Buffalo defense. I 386 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: think one thing that's important to note too, because we're 387 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: talking about how this team has grown, particularly since that 388 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: Week five game. A couple of things went wrong in 389 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: that Week five game that we can look back at 390 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: and say, hey, these things are preventable, and one of 391 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: them is the turnovers for this Chief's offense, which you 392 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. The Chiefs turn the ball over four times 393 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: in that game. The Bills coming into that game weren't 394 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: turning the ball over at all, and defensively, they were 395 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: forcing a bunch of turnovers right And the Chiefs defense 396 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: at that time, too, was going through some stuff. They're 397 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: struggling at times, they're actually, I can go through it 398 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: right now. They're missing Chris Jones and Shavarious Ward in 399 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: that game, Willie Gage Junior and Frank Clark were in 400 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: their first games back from injury, so they weren't fully 401 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: immersed in the defense at that point. One Thornhill, it 402 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: only played forty four percent of the snaps in that game. 403 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: He wasn't an every down starter at that point. Since 404 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: that game, he's played at least eighty percent of the 405 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: snaps in twelve of thirteen games. And Melvin Ingram was 406 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh stealer. So the defense has totally changed and 407 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: the defense has forced turnovers and big plays in the 408 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: time since that game. I'll put a bow on it 409 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: with this because now I'm just rambling about our defense. 410 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: But coming into that since that game, the Chiefs are 411 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: plus eleven in turnover differential through the into the regular 412 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: season and the Bills are minus three. I mean to 413 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: keep in mind going into this one. Yeah, it's the 414 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: turnaround there, especially for the Chiefs, and that it's like 415 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: something I've never seen in the National Football League Chiefs 416 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: or otherwise. Now the Bills are also We're going to 417 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: pivot here a little bit on the next couple of 418 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: minutes as we close the show. First of all, here's 419 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: a real tasty stat. I love it when our dt 420 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: K listeners and viewers climb in and they'd do their 421 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: own research. Derek Nelson is one of our great DTK 422 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: season ticket holders, if you will, in Houston, Texas Houston. 423 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: He lives there in Houston, but he came up with 424 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: this one. We know, the Bills just went nuts on 425 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: New England. The Bills were the twenty third team in 426 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: NFL postseason history. Now we're going all the way back here. 427 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: Let's is like, think of the Washington Redskins losing to 428 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: the Bears seventy three to nothing like the thirties or forties, 429 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: but the Bills the twenty third team to score forty 430 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: seven or more points in a postseason game the next week. 431 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: Of teams that weren't doing that in the Super Bowl 432 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: that had to have a game the next week, there 433 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: were thirteen of those twenty three, so ten won super 434 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: Bowls doing it or NFL championship games the next week. 435 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Those teams were four and nine and averaged eighteen points 436 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: a game. And that was one of those emoji. Let 437 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: me think about that a second. So that's when I 438 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: thought you would like and he was just grinding through that. 439 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: The other there were nine that won Super Bowls or 440 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: NFL championship games before the merger that blew somebody out 441 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: and didn't have to play the next week. But blown 442 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: somebody out doesn't always necessarily mean you're going to do 443 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: it again the following week. Now let me pivot though, 444 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: to this Buffalo defense. If you look at their grade card, 445 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, past defense, total defense, third down defense, 446 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: best defense against play action passes, best defense against downfield passes, 447 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: and yards per play. First. First, first, first, first, first, first, 448 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: this is the Valdedictorian right now. Defenses in the NFL, 449 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: if you look at their grade card, yeah, they're really 450 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: really good. I mean, they lead just like you said 451 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: the league, and just about every defensive category, they've been 452 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: awesome this season. They set out to be better defensively 453 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: the season and they've done that. So give them credit 454 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: where credit is due now looking what they've done this year. 455 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: You mentioned third down. Third down is a money down 456 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. We all know that. One key to 457 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: watch in this game is, yes, they have the best 458 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: third down defense in the l but who has the 459 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: best third down offense in the NFL? As a matter 460 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: of fact, who is the best third down offense or sorry, 461 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: the fifth best third down offense in NFL history. It's 462 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and they're playing very well on 463 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: third down right now, that's an area in this game 464 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: where something has to give. So third down is a 465 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: big money down, even more so in this game than 466 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: it ever is. And I'll get back to the chief 467 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: By the way. With the best and third down offense, 468 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: it's the twenty eleven Saints. So I mean they were, 469 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: they were, They've been incredible on third day and they're 470 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: going to need to be that way again this week. Yeah, 471 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: they need to be. And also just protecting the balls. 472 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: I mentioned the turnover margin earlier and how the Chiefs 473 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: turned the ball over four times back in Week five. 474 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: When you're playing a good team like this, you cannot 475 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Now, these were preventable turnovers, I think. 476 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: I mean one was the ball just bounced off Tyreek 477 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: Hills hands into Micah Hyde's grasp. He scores a pick six. 478 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: There was another one where there's a great play by 479 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: Gregory Rousseau where I think McCole Harman if he had 480 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: caught this ball, would have scored a touchdown. It was 481 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: a quick, little like a screen throw basically, but Rousseau 482 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: just got his big up, battled it up in the 483 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: air and then caught his own deflection and had the interception. 484 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: The Chiefs actually moved the ball kind of well on 485 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo back in Week five, even though they were going 486 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: through some stuff offensively back then, they're still kind of 487 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: learning how to deal with those two high safety shell looks. 488 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: They moved the ball effectively at times. The issue was 489 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: they just couldn't punch it in for touchdowns whenever they 490 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: got on Buffalo the side of the field. So got 491 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: to make sure when you're moving the ball that you're 492 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: you're converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns. In this game 493 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: and not turning it over because this Buffalo defense is 494 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: very opportunistic. I remember that, speaking of red zone, McKinnon 495 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: had one bounce off his face mask and fly up 496 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: and I get intercepted in the end zone. That took 497 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: out another one off the board. The Chiefs are going 498 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: to get at least three there. Okay, we're gonna close 499 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: this up. Did you ever go into the big fireworks stand? 500 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Did your folks give you, like, here's twenty bucks, go 501 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: buy some fireworks. My family never trusted me with that 502 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: kind of thing, probably for good reason. But I get 503 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: where you're going with this though. Well, and I'll just 504 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: tell you so grown up on a farm, of course 505 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: it could be a fireworks haveing, but it had to 506 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: be very careful. If dry, you could start fires. But 507 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: my friend, we had an old and he's a city kid, right, 508 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: he's a town kid. We had this old It used 509 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: to be a fuel tank but it was buried under 510 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: the ground, and he goes, oh, this is interesting. I'm 511 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: gonna put a big firecracker down in this hole, like no, dun't. 512 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: And he did it. The whole ground just goes but 513 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: it didn't blow up, but it could have in that tank. 514 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: We had to bring it back up. Now I know 515 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: where it's at to this day, and there's a huge 516 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: hole in that tank from that firework. But again, we've 517 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: all walked into the big fireworks locations throughout the Chiefs 518 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: Kingdom or during the Fourth of July time going into 519 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: those big fireworks. Ten, Matt, I think you agree. That's 520 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: what I feel like. We're walking into Sunday afternoon at 521 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: five thirty for this great game between the Bills and Chiefs. Yeah, 522 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. It's a great opportunity for the 523 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs here in this game. If you're looking at the 524 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen even said this today during his 525 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: media session. He said, the Chiefs are what we are 526 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: aspiring to be. The Bills want to be that top 527 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: dog in the AFC. But for the Chiefs, they can 528 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: go out there make their way to a fourth consecutive 529 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: AFC title game.

And after this season that's 532 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: been a season of ups and downs. You know, the 533 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: three and fourth start fighting through the middle of the year, 534 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 1: fighting against these defenses that have tried to adapt to 535 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs offensive philosophy. If the Chiefs can make a 536 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: fourth consecutive AFC title game and announced so the rest 537 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: of the league, Hey, we're still here and we're not 538 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: going anywhere.
