1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: It's already been an incredible season. The Kansas City Chiefs 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: have had so many close games. Replacement kickers. They played 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: on every day of the week, but Tuesday they played 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: the toughest schedule. They fought to get to buy they 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: get an incredible victory in the AFC Championship Game. But 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: now a chance to make history. You can't make this up, 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: and you can't make up what Ticketmaster does this time 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: you hear especially, Ticketmaster can become your best friend. But 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: even as I read during the game on Sunday, reading 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: the Ticketmaster ad all year long, they become a resource 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: for you because so many great events happened at GJA Field, 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium and throughout the Chiefs Kingdom. 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: Git some a JP run at the thirty first I 14 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: love you some. 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: JP run howeveryone, I'm a childest voice of the Chiefs 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: joined here by with a senior team reporter, Matt McMullen. 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: The theming of this defending the Kingdom will be you 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: can't make this up. I don't know what your favorite 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: mini series are, Matt. What of the as you would 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: binge on right now? If you had a choice, You're Gonnat. 21 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: You can binge right now what would it be. 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: Well, so, Ellie and I have been watching Severance lately, 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 3: but it's kind of a have you watched that? 24 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: I have? 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a dark and very weird and sad 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 3: doesn't really apply to this football team. 27 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: I think what you're alluding to is a better analogy. 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Well, Ted Lasso, Yeah, so creative in the writing. Yeah, 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: But then there's others like the trilogy. I'm really enamored 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: with eighteen eighty three nineteen twenty three Yellowstone. I was 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: all one by one by one. I know, I'd have 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: to be in some place in Montana just getting food, 33 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: well ironically getting food and water. But there have been others, right, 34 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: mad Men was incredible, I thought back way back when, 35 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: and then, oh gosh, some of the others. Held on 36 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: Wheels is really underrated. We know now land Man has 37 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: become a big deal with Billy, Bob Thornton and others. 38 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: So, and Jerry Jones was a pretty good actor in that. 39 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: Did you see that? 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just leave that at that. It's very good. 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: He was pretty good. 42 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: I felt like he was didn't even have to act 43 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: like it was this real life. Yeah, it was not 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: better than your role in the Hallmark movie, though it 45 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: was not you were awesome. 46 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: Well, hey, as you're saying that today filming this on Tuesday, 47 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: your role as a speaking security guard kicking out David 48 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: Keckner posted today just a few hours ago. I'm like 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: your support man, I'm pulling away Keckner. But you had 50 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 3: a line and that came out today, so I mean, 51 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: I'm talking about it. 52 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: It was yours. It was not like yours. It was 53 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: a few agree you get it? You know? Uh heck yes, 54 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: I ordered the cord read it was that. That was impactful. Hey, Trey, 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: come on over anyway. It's a but this this depending 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: the Kingdom is going to deal with. You can't make 57 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: this up. Honestly, Ted Lasso's script writers could not write 58 00:02:54,520 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: the script this season, Matt super Bowl fifty nine. The 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: fact that we're going to have this game against the 60 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, and uh, there's just we're going to jump 61 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: into this. What your four favorite story lines me on 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: the obviously are and I'll give you mine as well. 63 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: But first as is a defending the Kingdom custom. Whether 64 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: we're on a zoom or we're in studio, we go 65 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: around the world. Let's jump in your spacecraft. 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it. And for those wondering why are 67 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 3: you guys on zoom right now? Well, the week before 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: we go to New Orleans is just crazy. What's funny 69 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: is that we like kind of know the drill now 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: because we've been to all these Super Bowls. Who would 71 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: have thought, but the studio is just jam packed with 72 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: players doing super Bowl stuff. They have to like bring 73 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: in a whole new backdrop. The studio is occupied today, 74 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: so we're doing a virtual DTK. I'm on the third floor, 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: Mitch is on the first floor. We're in the same 76 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: building doing a zoom DTK. So if you're wondering why 77 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: we're doing that, that's why. 78 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: Before we get into that, you bring up an excellent point. 79 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: We kind of touched on this last year and my 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: Minute with Minis series that I do and ready on 81 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: television throughout the Kingdom. I get into this even more 82 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: this week. I always wondered that, well, what's two weeks 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: before Super Bowl? It seems like an overkill, Like it's just 84 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: it's more promo than anything else. Honestly, you could use 85 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: another week. Yeah, and Tamison, you and I have talked 86 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: about this. You can't win the super Bowl this week. 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: But you can lose the super Bowl this week because 88 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: it's if you're not organized to deal with all of 89 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: the chaos before the chaotic chaos when you hit the 90 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: super Bowl site, you can get swept away and lose 91 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: that game. And we've seen it happen throughout history. 92 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. 93 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: Kochrie talked about it a few days ago that the 94 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: game plan is almost entirely put in this week, so 95 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: when you get to New Orleans, it's about mastering it 96 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: and refining it because there's so many other things going on. 97 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: There's all the media responsibilities. The media night on Monday 98 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: is crazy, and then you basically have to speak to 99 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: reporters every single day. There's so much going on, so 100 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: many potential distractions, And that's kind of where like our 101 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: culture and our infrastructure is so important and it kind 102 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: of helps this team achieve what it's achieved over the 103 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 3: years and hopefully we'll achieve again because you eliminate all 104 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: of that, like you do your obligations, you do all 105 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: that whatever, but you're there to win a game. And 106 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 3: I think sometimes the super Bowl has become such a 107 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: big event that people forget that at the end of 108 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 3: the day, it's about winning a football game. And we 109 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: know this just like anyone else that works here, that 110 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: everything is so scheduled and regimented and it's all about routine, 111 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: like every single week is the same, and you kind 112 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: of have to find a way in a very not 113 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: normal situation like a super Bowl to create a semblance 114 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 3: of a routine and of normalcy. And coach reads so 115 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 3: good about that, and that's where hopefully this experience will 116 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 3: help us next week. But yeah, this week is all 117 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: about on the football side, treating it normally, getting ready for, 118 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: you know, a big trip to the super Bowl. But 119 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: from a business staff perspective, things are a little bit weird. 120 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: In the studio is in use today. 121 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: Well and again, and taking care of your family and 122 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: their requests. I mean this, it's difficult. You've got a 123 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: lot of family that you can't accommodate, and nor can 124 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: I Not everybody is part of this, and so the 125 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: players deal with that and the coaches deal with that. Well. 126 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: I know people that didn't make the cut over the 127 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: last couple of years that don't like me anymore, right, 128 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: So it's just there's a lot of tension this week 129 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't think would be there, and so you're right, 130 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: our infrastructure and culture is set up to try to 131 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: mitigate that as much as possible, because when you land 132 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: there and it's like the Olympic Games, because there's this 133 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: bombardment of international media that comes in and so you're 134 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: answering that, you're asking questions, are answering questions over and 135 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: over and over. But it's just you know, one of coaches, 136 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: one of his four mantras is four pillars has eliminated distractions. 137 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: This game is nothing but a distraction, and the NFL 138 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: will create some of those distractions, quite honestly. So this 139 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: is tricky, and this week is tricky. But what hasn't 140 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: been tricky is when sometimes fact is greater than fiction. 141 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: And the Kansas City Chiefs this year have been exactly that. 142 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: Ted Leastro's writers are blushing. I said that on the play, 143 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: like ply can't make this stuff up. And the storylines 144 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: and subplots to this game are a decade's worth. Really, 145 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: any one of these could be the big point or 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: thought of a game. But man, there's so many for 147 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl fifty nine. 148 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of those stories that if this 149 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: was like in a movie, it wouldn't be realistic. Like 150 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: we always make fun of the movie Draft Day because 151 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: it's just so unbelievably unrealistic. If there is a movie 152 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: this is all fictional about the Chiefs run to a 153 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: third straight super Bowl and everything that's happened, all the 154 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 3: different ways that we've won games this year, I'd be like, 155 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: that's not very realistic. But when you live it and 156 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: it's real life, you just can't believe it. I Mean, 157 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: we're kind of rambling now. 158 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: Replacement kicker dwink in a field goal to win the division. 159 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: You're going, oh, come on, yeah, exactly right, a block 160 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: field goal to win a game against a division rival. 161 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: I mean, there's just so many examples, and it's just 162 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: so cool that this team has found a way to 163 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: get back to this point. And one thing that I 164 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: keep thinking about over the last couple days since we 165 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: beat Buffalo is that we talked all year about the 166 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: opportunity in front of this team, and we talked about 167 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: it on last week's episode, Like, Hey, we've talked all 168 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: for months and months and months now about the opportunity 169 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 3: and how this team could attack this and how they 170 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: can hopefully make history. But now we're actually there, you know, 171 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: and there's so many potential pitfalls, so many things that 172 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 3: could have happened, like injuries or circumstances are getting everyone's 173 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: best shot where it just doesn't work out. The fact 174 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: that the Chiefs are in this moment like we're going 175 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: to New Orleans for a chance to win the super 176 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 3: Bowl for a third straight year, something that's never happened before. 177 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: Really take a second to think about that, Like this 178 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: team had a mandate and a challenge, like my homes 179 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: on stage saying like, hey, no one's ever got three 180 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: like I want three. Yeah, we all do, but it's 181 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: hard to get there. And the Chiefs went fifteen in two, 182 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: They won the Division, they beat the Texans, they beat 183 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: the Bills, and we're going to the super Bowl for 184 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: a chance to make it three in a row. I 185 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 3: still feel like it's yesterday that I saw Mnicole catching 186 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: that ball in the end zone to win the second 187 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 3: in a row, and now we're back. 188 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 189 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: It's one of those things I keep waiting to wake 190 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 3: up because this does not happen to teams and to 191 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: fan bases. 192 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: But we're living in absolutely and this is like coming 193 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: up on episode twenty and you what ali watching Severance 194 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: and like now it's at the Apex right now and 195 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: you're just staring, like what's now And that's where we're 196 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: at with this. But absolutely, and we'll jump into these storylines. 197 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: But what we're living now is incredible. If the Chiefs 198 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: pull this off, well, I'll get into this probably more 199 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: next week when we're in New Orleans. It just has 200 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: a seventy two Dolphins feeling to it. I'm not sure 201 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: this will happen again. And you're saying, well, you just 202 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: did it. Well, we're gonna have an eighteenth game soon, 203 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: and that eighteenth game will be against another division champion 204 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: that's a one from the previous year. If you're the champion. 205 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: It's not the party distant future that we will all 206 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,359 Speaker 1: play international games. The season will be longer. These streaming services, 207 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: you're going to be playing every day of the week. 208 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: This team's just handled all of it, and it's going 209 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to get harder to handle all of it in the 210 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: days and years ahead. So this could truly be a 211 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: seventy two Dolphins moment if the Chiefs can win Super 212 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty nine. But I'm holding you up. Let's get 213 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: space stations. 214 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 3: One more thought that I'll jump in. I'm sorry, we're 215 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 3: just rambling today because you know, we're excited. We've gotten 216 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: like no sleep and hey, the cheer that. 217 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: We're going to do a whole nother podcast called because 218 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: We're Not a rabbit Hole. 219 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: Now, just well, have you heard from any of the 220 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: Packer fans that are trying to say that the Packers 221 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: won three straight championships because they won the last like 222 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: NFL Championship and then Super Bowl one and two. It's like, okay, listen, 223 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: I acknowledge and respect the championships, but it is so 224 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 3: much harder to win a championship in two thousand and 225 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: twenty four then it was in nineteen sixty seven. 226 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just the reality of it. 227 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: Man. They played fourteen regular season games and one playoff game. 228 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: There weren't wild cards. The America or the Western Conference 229 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: champion played the National conference champion. And you know, it's 230 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: the same thing with the seventy two Dolphins. Now, they 231 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: won fourteen games when undefeated and they won three playoff games. 232 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: I got it, But that's just if you go seventeen 233 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: and zero. Now, that's just the regular season. Yeah, you're 234 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: sitting on the barela three more games, you got to 235 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: try to go undefeated against some of the best teams 236 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: in the league. So yes, the Packer fans have weighed in, 237 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: but it's not the same. And so if give those guys, 238 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: they would have to win what two more playoff games 239 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: just to get to the point to get to the 240 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: NFL Championship game and then play a Super Bowl. And 241 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm I respect you, like you, not the same, 242 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: not to apples. Apples are close. 243 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, about twenty minutes later, let's jump into 244 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 3: around the world.

Then lastly we have David from Cork, Ireland. 350 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: I've been a fans in twenty twelve. This is kind 351 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: of funny. So him and his friends back in twenty 352 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: twelve used they're playing Madden and basically they did like 353 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 3: a random team generator and they all decided whoever they 354 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 3: were assigned would be their team for life, and they 355 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 3: just follow it. It's like if you and I were 356 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: doing like, you know, European League of Professional Football or 357 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: something like, oh I love the Studie gart Surge. Well 358 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 3: he got the Chiefs. Keep in mind it was in 359 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 3: twenty twelve. Okay, not the easiest year to follow the Chiefs, 360 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: but it's stuck with us ever since and now David 361 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: is reaping the benefits. So shout out to you, David. 362 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 3: That's all I got today. 363 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: Well done, David, Well done, because now your team that 364 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: you got randomly selected for has a chance to make 365 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: history and to get these opportunity went back to back 366 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: to back Super Bowls We'll start there, Matt, because I 367 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: think you and I will both claim this plot as 368 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: the main one as we know, and as I said, 369 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: it's got a seventy two Dolphins feel to it. But 370 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: here we are going to a neo or lunch to 371 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: play the Eagles, or a chance to do something that's 372 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: never been done, which we'll set the twenty twenty four 373 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs if they do this by themselves in NFL. 374 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: History, yeah, and we're living it to think that the 375 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: Chiefs already have made history by winning against the Bills 376 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 3: to make it back to the Super Bowl. Nine teams 377 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: have won back to back Super Bowls. The Chiefs are 378 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 3: the first ever to have a chance to win three 379 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 3: in a row. None of those previous eight teams made 380 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: it to this point, and only three teams in NFL history, 381 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: I think have or four teams now including the Chiefs, 382 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 3: have made it to three straight Super Bowls. And of 383 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: course those other iterations had not won back to back 384 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 3: before the third, so it's truly incredible. And how about 385 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. So Patrick Mahomes is one of my storylines here. 386 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: He's now seventeen and three as a starting quarterback in 387 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: the postseason passing Joe Montana for sole possession of the 388 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 3: second most in NFL history. Only Tom Brady with thirty five, 389 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: owns more. But Patrick's coming, I mean, seventeen postseason wins 390 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 3: in seven years as a starter is just ridiculous. Against 391 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 3: the Bills, he led his sixth career fourth quarter postseason 392 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 3: comeback that also passed Montana for the second most all time. 393 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 3: Only Brady with nine has more. Mahomes is also now 394 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 3: twenty seven and twenty six in his career in games 395 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: in the regular and postseason that he trailed in the 396 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. So I'm gonna say that one more time. 397 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 3: When the Chiefs have trailed in the fourth quarter under 398 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, they're twenty seven and twenty six. He has 399 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: a winning record in the fourth quarter when he's a 400 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 3: trailingue in his career. That's easily the best winning percentage 401 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 3: of any quarterback in NFL history. He's the only one 402 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: above five hundred. The next closest is Darryl Lamonica at 403 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: a three eighty six winning percentage. 404 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 2: Auto Graham, well. 405 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: Look at those others, because I love this stat. Brady 406 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: is on the stat that's that's stunning. Or we're paid 407 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: on this stat. 408 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 3: Well, so Brady is three seventy two winning percentage, Montana 409 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: is three eighty four. Mahomes is above five hundred. He 410 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 3: has a winning record when the Chiefs are losing in 411 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. I mean, it's just crazy. And it's 412 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 3: because the games were always close, so he always has 413 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: an opportunity to go down and win it. 414 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: But it's just it's nuts. 415 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: Hopefully we're winning the entire Super Bowl and don't need 416 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 3: another fourth quarter comeback, but he is the best of 417 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 3: all time at doing that. And lastly, I could go 418 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: for like three hours and all these Mahome stats, but 419 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 3: this is one of my favorite fits the Eagles. 420 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to fire them up, but his comeback 421 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: trailing by what ten or more at halftime? It's two 422 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: and twenty seven. The other one was in Super bowls 423 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: if you're trailing by ten or more halftime the teams 424 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: from two and twenty seven Super Bowl fifth of seven 425 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: was one of those against the Eagles. The other one 426 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: was a great comeback by Brady against Atlanta. 427 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 3: I mean just incredible and trailed by ten points and 428 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: all three of the Super Bowl wins the problem came back. 429 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: He's about to start his fifth Super Bowl. Okay. 430 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: The only other quarterbacks in NFL history to start five 431 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: Super Bowls Tom Brady obviously he started ten, and John 432 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 3: Elway started five. But here's what's cool about it. So 433 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: Brady was thirty four when he started his fifth Super Bowl. 434 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: I think people kind of forget there was a long 435 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 3: gap for Brady. He won the first three and then 436 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: there was a long gap before he won again. 437 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: Eleven season gap. Man, that's eleven seasons four to fourteen. 438 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 3: He really had two great stages of his career, right, 439 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: and we look back on it like it all kind 440 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: of happened boom boom boom, But there was a long gap. 441 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 3: He was thirty four when he started his fifth Super Bowl. 442 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 3: Elway was thirty eight when he started super Bowl number five. 443 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 3: Mahomes is twenty nine. Okay, Mahomes has been a starter 444 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 3: for seven years and he's starting his fifth super Bowl 445 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: before he turns thirty. We have never seen something like 446 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: this in NFL history. It's never happened before, not even Brady. 447 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: And that's the point I'm trying to make that no 448 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: player has ever ripped off this kind of immediate success 449 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 3: in the history of the NFL, and we're living. 450 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: In so amazing. So I'm counting on my fingers. Nine 451 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: years he went without winning a Super Bowl, and he 452 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: had the one undefeated season that's bags beat him, but 453 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: still almost a decade where he went without a Super 454 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: Bowl victory, when he had the three Big Gap three 455 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: with the Patriots and then beating us in Super Bowl 456 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: fifty five. One of my four because we were saying 457 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: we're going to pick four each year of our storylines 458 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: that when Ted Lesser's writers would be cranking it out 459 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: would be also involving pat The fact that he now 460 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: has two hundred and eighty eight consecutive passing attempts without 461 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: an interception. That is the longest of any streak of 462 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: a quarterback entering a Super Bowl. And if you go 463 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: back and look, this is right, he said the D 464 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: D hop demarcation line he started out pat did this 465 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: year with six TD passes and eight interceptions. That's where 466 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: I think the narrative started. But that that's where the 467 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: narrative like, they don't look at what's happened. And even 468 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: when since Teahawk came in, the fact that he now 469 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: it's twenty one touchdowns and only three picks, but the 470 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: fact that he has already set history and since Week eleven, 471 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: that last kind of desperate interception against the Bills in Buffalo, 472 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't thrown one since that's the longest streak going 473 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: into any Super Bowl by any quarterback without a pick. 474 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: So I've got a Patrick once too, So I'll take 475 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: the next one and it'll be And this is the 476 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: most obvious one of all of them, but it does 477 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: a little more dive into this because it's Andy versus 478 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles. You can't make this up. Ted Lastra's writers 479 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: could not have written this where Andy the only coach 480 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: who's been the winningest coach for two different franchises with 481 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles and Chiefs, but also to have over one 482 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: hundred wins with both franchises. But one thing I like 483 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: about this is still to make the Eagles fans man. 484 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: He was fourteen years with Philadelphia and with Philadelphia had 485 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty wins, and he was ten and 486 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: nine in the playoffs. He had ten wins in phillip 487 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: In Kansas City in two years less he has thirteen 488 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: more wins one hundred and forty three in the regular season, 489 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: and of course, his playoff record now overall is twenty 490 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: eight playoff wins, just three behind. But he's got Bill Belichick. 491 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: But he has eighteen playoff wins in Kansas City. He 492 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: had the one in twenty fifteen before Patrick started his role. So, yes, 493 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: fourteen years with the Eagles were awesome, but his twelve 494 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: years with Kansas City has actually surpassed that. But here 495 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: he is meeting them again for the second time in 496 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: three years in a Super Bowl with the team that 497 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: he basically turned around as well. And he didn't win 498 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: the big Game, he was close. And I remember the 499 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: day he ended his fourteen years, there was this kind 500 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: of a sad day. I'm thinking, Man, this guy's left 501 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: such a footprint, but can we get him? We got him. 502 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: He's left two feet here in Kansas City. So it's 503 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: just been awesome to see the way Andy, who needed 504 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: also he and Tammy need to replant their life. They'd 505 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: gone through a very difficult twenty twelve season like we had, 506 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: and of course lost their son here, right, but he 507 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: had to Andy and the look, where am I going 508 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: to go next? Where am I going to go? And 509 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: he found potting saw here in the Chiefs Kingdom and 510 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: he has developed the biggest, best crop ever and now 511 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: there's a chance to make full time NFL history. So 512 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: that's an obvious storyline, but that's my second. 513 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: Well, it's a great one. I think. 514 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: What's kind of interesting about that is in fifty years, 515 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 3: coachrit will be remembered as the Chiefs head coach. And 516 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: if I told you that back in twenty thirteen, he'd 517 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 3: be like, I mean, he had this amazing run with 518 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 3: the Eagles, and that's true, an incredible success with Philadelphia, 519 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: and football historians will always remember that. But the casual 520 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: fan fifty years from now is going to remember him 521 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: as the Chief's head coach because of all this immense success. 522 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: And he's going to have an opportunity here to go 523 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 3: down as the greatest coach of all time. You and 524 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 3: I are think he is, but like it's going to 525 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: be a fact. If the Chiefs can pull this off 526 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 3: against the Eagles and be the first team in NFL 527 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: history to win three consecutive Super Bowls, that'll be what 528 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: four super bowls for coach. He'll have six Super Bowl 529 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: appearances already ties Shula for the second most all time. 530 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: And again, like I said earlier, Mahomes is twenty nine. 531 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 3: This train is not slowing down. So anyway, not only 532 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 3: will he go down as the Chiefs head coach, he's 533 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 3: going to go down as I think the greatest to 534 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 3: ever do it. And one of the reasons he's so 535 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: great is how he gets the best out of his players. 536 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 3: And that leads to another storyline. For me, it's Joe Toney, 537 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: Joe Tuney. I get he plays on the offensive line, 538 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 3: doesn't score touchdowns all that. If the Chiefs win the 539 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, it needs to go down as one of 540 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 3: the great single season storylines in NFL history, because, you know, 541 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 3: I was trying to think earlier. Someone asked me, Hey, 542 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 3: what was the turning point for this season? Because last 543 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 3: year it was obvious it was the Christmas Day game. Well, 544 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: when you go fifteen and two, it's kind of hard 545 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: to be like, what was this the turning point? The 546 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: team was obviously really good and got the ones seed, 547 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: won the division with time to spare. 548 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: But I thought more about it. 549 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: You know, the turning point might have been the Cleveland 550 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 3: game because even though the team was winning, there were 551 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 3: protection issues up front, and I think there was a 552 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 3: fair conversation about can this team sustain success in the 553 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 3: postseason if they can't protect, and putting Joe Toney out 554 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: at left tackle was a bit of a gamble. He 555 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 3: had done it some, as we talked about before, but 556 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 3: he's an All Pro guard. He hadn't played week after 557 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 3: week at left tackle really since what college, but Coachy 558 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 3: puts him out there against Cleveland, Houston twice, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. 559 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: We're talking about some of the best pass rushes, best 560 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 3: defensive lines, best overall pass rushers in the league, Guys 561 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: like Miles Garrett, Daniel Hunter, Will Anderson, TJ. Watt, Greg 562 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: Russeau Von Miller, really really really good edge rushers, and 563 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: all Joe has done specifically over his last three games 564 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 3: so against Pittsburgh, Houston, and Buffalo, two of those being 565 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 3: playoff games, and the Pittsburgh game being a quasi playoff 566 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 3: game because that locked up the one seed. He's allowed 567 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 3: a total of three pressures on one hundred and fifteen 568 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: pass blocking snaps. That's crazy. Those are like full time 569 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 3: best tackle in the NFL kind of numbers, And for 570 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 3: Joe to be doing this is nothing short of remarkable. 571 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 3: It's a testament to who he is as a player, 572 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 3: his technique, his reliance on what he's learned over the 573 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 3: years and his ability to take on that challenge. It 574 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: is not easy. It's not as simple as hey, you're 575 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 3: a really good guard, you can bounce out and play tackle. 576 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: It's really hard. There's a reason most guys can't do it. 577 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: For him to not only accept that challenge, but to 578 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 3: thrive to excel and to allow this offense to look 579 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 3: the best it's looked all year long and the biggest 580 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 3: moments is really cool. So hopefully that Chiefs pulled this 581 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 3: thing off in a couple weeks, and we're going to 582 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 3: talk all about Mahomes and Kelsey and Chris Jones and 583 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 3: coach Red deservingly so. But I do not want Joe 584 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: Tunny to be lost in the narrative of all this 585 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: because I think if we win the Super Bowl, Joe 586 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: is a huge reason why. 587 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a ex It's an excellent choice by you, 588 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: and again a subplot. If you had a Ted Lasso episode, 589 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: it would be Joe who was a story. The fact 590 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: that he was the only NFL player to play in 591 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowls his first three years. Remember he played in 592 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: the loss to the Eagles with the Patriots, then the 593 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: victory over the Rams and he came here. I get 594 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: those years right, But anyway, the fact that Joe then 595 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: moves out to left tackle premium position and has played 596 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: against this all star cast and has done so well, 597 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 1: that's an excellent choice. My third one is Kareem's second chance. 598 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: If we were watching an anthology series here and all 599 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the premier back that the rookie back 600 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: of the year basically in twenty seventeen just took the 601 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: world by storm Toledo and became an awesome player, great 602 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: for this offense, and then be dismissed from the team 603 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. Before all of this hoopla started, the 604 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs only had the one playoff victory the wild card 605 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: went over in fifteen, going all the way back to 606 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three beat the Colts in eighteen. Kareem wasn't here. 607 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt dismissed from the team and for a good reason, 608 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: we all know that, but he kept his career going, 609 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: trying to turn his life around in Cleveland and then 610 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: to get the chance to come back. First of all, 611 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: Brett Beach has done his best job yet. Maybe the 612 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: twenty two draft class would be one you could argue 613 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: against it, or for him to add DeAndre Hopkins, Samah 614 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: jp Ryan. People have seen the reels of me saying 615 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: I love Sama JP Ryan, I love you JP Ryan. 616 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: But Kareem Hunt's story. The Chiefs wouldn't be here without 617 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt and the fact that when you dive in 618 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: to a guy that had never wanted a visional playoff game, 619 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: he had watched from back. Patrick was in his draft class, 620 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: so he's watching all this happen. He and I had 621 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: two good visits about that, and one was public, one 622 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: was private. But he was not jealous. It'd be easy 623 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: to be jealous, to go, man, I missed out on that, 624 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: or to feel he felt remorseful. But there was always 625 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: hope with Kareem, the hope that maybe, just maybe there's 626 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: an infinititional chance, but I'll get a chance to do 627 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: it with those guys. And here he is a perfect 628 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: plot for some series. It is the prodigal sun coming 629 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: home essentially. But who has saved this team in many 630 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: cases to give them short yardage, runner with a burst, 631 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: give favorable down in distance, be a red zone machine. 632 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: There's what people made not realize. He has played in 633 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: six playoff games. Counting his time with Cleveland, Kareem Hunt 634 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: has eight playoff touchdowns in six games. He has seven 635 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: rushing sessions. He was really productive with the Browns in 636 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: the postseason before with US, and keep in mind he 637 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: played one game in seventeen in the playoffs for US. 638 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: That's it. And so the fact that he has been 639 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: so good in the playoffs is a Damian Williams redo 640 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: the Runda immortality in Super Bowl fifty four. But even 641 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: more so, Kareem has taking this up a notch ahead 642 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: of Damian Williams. And now he's got a chance. But 643 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: his chance gave us a chance. And it's like Andy Reid. 644 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: Andy Reid needed another place to go. Andy Reid's second 645 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: chance gave us this immense chance. And so there's a 646 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: plot within a plot here, but to me, it's really intriguing. 647 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: And if Kareem Hunt can win this Super Bowl and 648 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: help the Chiefs make history, then he'll become one of 649 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: the great stories within a story of this team. 650 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 3: You see him walking around on the field after the 651 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 3: trophy presentation, like long after people had cleared out, he 652 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 3: was still just kind of wandering around. There's an element 653 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 3: that you can tell that he just can't believe that 654 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 3: this is real. I mean, he looked back to twenty seventeen, 655 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: led the league in rushing. He was going to be 656 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 3: the next big thing, and the Chiefs were going to 657 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: be the next big thing, and he was going to 658 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: be right in the middle of it. Obviously didn't work 659 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 3: out that way. But now for him to be back 660 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 3: all these years later contributing, helping the Chiefs get to 661 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, I mean, it's such a cool story, 662 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 3: and you're right, we wouldn't be here without him. He 663 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 3: led this team in scrimmage yards this season, and when 664 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 3: we lost Pacheco after Week two, that was concerning, right, 665 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 3: because you lose your belcow, what are you going to do? 666 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you can't just put all the weight on 667 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 3: the passing game, particularly after Rashi got hurt. Well, Kareem 668 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 3: comes in and saves this team and kind of changed 669 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 3: how we approach things offensively, and you could just tell 670 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: the way that he was running against Buffalo, he's not 671 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 3: wasting his opportunity. Speaking of guys who came back, kind 672 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 3: of on a smaller scale, but similar idea, Jalen Watson 673 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 3: is a storyline for me and Jalen is an interesting 674 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 3: one because we lose him in Week seven and he 675 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 3: was having an awesome year up until that point. And 676 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 3: I think you and I are in agreement here. We 677 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 3: didn't think he was coming back this season. Like I know, 678 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 3: there was like some chatter out there that, oh, maybe 679 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 3: he's coming back. You and I are like, nah, I 680 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 3: don't think he's coming back. Just doesn't seem realistic. He 681 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: can't count on that. Well, it's a credit to him 682 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 3: and probably some luck as well that he's back now 683 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 3: and he's not just like on the roster, he's contributing. 684 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 3: Look at what he did against Buffalo. He was on 685 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 3: the field for thirty covered snaps, He was targeted three 686 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: times and allowed two catches for nine yards. I mean 687 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 3: that's a big, big deal against the number two scoring 688 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 3: offense in the NFL, and Josh Allen, he was awesome. 689 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 3: And you throw a player like that back into this defense, 690 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 3: it just changes everything because it allows Spags to truly 691 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 3: go into his bag of tricks. Think about up that 692 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 3: final incredible play on fourth down. Well, you can't do 693 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: exotic blitzes like that if you don't have confidence in 694 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 3: your corners to cover man on man on an island 695 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 3: on the back end, those guys aren't getting much help. 696 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 3: With Watson, you can count on him to go out 697 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 3: there and to handle his assignment. He's big, he's long, 698 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 3: he can cover receivers like aj Brown who have a 699 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 3: size advantage over smaller players. It's just a big, big 700 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 3: deal having Jalen back and I love seeing him not 701 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 3: just back, but making an impact like he did against 702 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 3: the Bills. 703 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you all the way. The other thing it 704 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: did is it put guys, whether it's Nazie Johnson or 705 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: Joshua Williams or Christian Roland Wallace, and it's your Spags 706 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: bag of tricks. Now all of a sudden, Spags can 707 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: put those guys in roles. I'm not playing a rook 708 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: and a bishop's role. Yeah, playing bush a bishop and 709 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: a queen's role. If we're playing chess, I have all 710 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: my pieces in the area they need to be with 711 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: their strength set what they're strengths are, and it allows 712 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: Spags at So it's a full compliment of dudes. And 713 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: I like that one. Was that all you had, because 714 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to close it out with this one unless 715 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: you got another one. 716 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: I have one more mel hit on real quick before 717 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: this one. 718 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, Well. 719 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 2: It's other side of the ball. It's Xavier Worthy. 720 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 3: And for those that listen on a weekly basis, we've 721 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 3: kind of talked about Xavier like every week for a 722 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 3: while now, and deservingly so. Xader Worthy as a rookie 723 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 3: just had his best game as a pro against Buffalo, 724 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 3: career best eighty five receiving yards and the biggest game 725 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: of his life. Also toped one hundred yards and scrimmage 726 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: for the first time. And the thing with Xavier is 727 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 3: it's the consistency. So every game that he's played in 728 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 3: and we're throwing out the Week eighteen game. That game 729 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 3: is a little frustrating because I think he was on 730 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 3: the field for like one or two snaps, so technically 731 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 3: it's like logged like in his game of Logs, but 732 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 3: he didn't play. So we're throwing that out. Since Week eleven, 733 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 3: and every game he actually played in he's recorded at 734 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 3: least forty receiving yards. It's nine straight games, and it's 735 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 3: not just stuff for he's schemed open. I think that's 736 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 3: kind of the misconception about him, like, oh, he has 737 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 3: this great speed and he's not very big, so he 738 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 3: schemed open. He's like one of the best contested catch 739 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 3: receivers in the league right now. You can't argue that 740 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 3: that catch that he had to set up a touchdown 741 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 3: before halftime against Buffalo was unbelievable and the strength that 742 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 3: he showed, and he had one against Houston as well 743 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 3: where he just went up there and got it. When 744 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 3: you have a player who runs a sub four to 745 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 3: three and he can go up with the strength to 746 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 3: making tested catches. I don't want to get too far 747 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 3: ahead of myself because we got to go win this 748 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 3: game in a couple of weeks. But Xavier is going 749 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 3: to be a star in this league. Like imagine what 750 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 3: he and Rashi are going to do next year together. 751 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 3: So I'm super excited for Xavier. He's one of those 752 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 3: players that clearly, over the course of the year really 753 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 3: figured it out and he's helping this team win. We 754 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: are not to this point now without Xavier Worthy, and 755 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 3: it's kind of cool because he had to grow up 756 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 3: quickly with Rashi getting hurt, but now with Hollywood healthy, 757 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 3: with DeAndre Hopkins in the fold, and with Jujus ms 758 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 3: Schuster kind of having an impact now as well. He 759 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 3: doesn't have to do everything. He can just go out 760 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 3: there and be exavier and it makes us often so 761 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 3: dynamic and dangerous, so excited to see what he's going 762 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 3: to do in his first career Super Bowl. But Xavier 763 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 3: does his growth over the course of the year and 764 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 3: a chance to finish his rookie year of the Super 765 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: Bowl championship as my final storyline awesome. 766 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: And I'll just tag it with two things. One and 767 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: it is just a little about kak Rosstie last year. 768 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: He's reaching this crescendo in the playoffs. He's doing it 769 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: when it counts the most, and more often than not 770 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: it's the other way. Great regular season by a rookie, 771 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: but where are they in the playoffs? And they not 772 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: only stay, they diminish. He's a sending. The second thing 773 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,439 Speaker 1: is coming out of Texas with that four to two 774 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: one speed people kind of I think miscast him is 775 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: just a go route guy. He's just got to run 776 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: go routes or stutters and goes and run nine routes. 777 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: He has become an excellent route runner, whether it's crosses 778 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: or double moves, arrows or and I told you my 779 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: favorite route with him is now that slice route which 780 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: he's kind of a delay and it's not a crosser. 781 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: It's not a shadow or a medium crosser. It's basically 782 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: in an angle and it's not an over route. You 783 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: slice it. And so he's become awesome at that. The 784 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: other thing, Matt, I'll tag it with it the nose 785 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: for the end zone. Yeah, these nine touchdowns as a 786 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: rookie now put him right there with Roschi Rice last year. 787 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: And the fact that he knew where that pylon was 788 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: the other day when he took off. He knows. So 789 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: to develop that sense as a receiver to be a 790 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: route runner. Work with Pat. I'm with you. I am 791 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: so excited about his future. We'll close this way because 792 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: you can't make it up if Ted Lasser's riders came 793 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: up with this. The fact that the Kansas City Chiefs 794 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: and as I mentioned at the end of the broadcast, 795 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: are now past Pluto, We're beyond the we are beyond 796 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: the normal NFL solar system. Because there's a chance to 797 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: do something that's never ever ever been done. The Chiefs 798 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: had the chance to do that where they won Super 799 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: Bowl four. The Chiefs have a chance. They will work 800 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: out on the same field or near the same field 801 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: where they won Super Bowl four at Tulane University. That's 802 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: our workout facility, and that and of itself like, oh, 803 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: come on, guys, that's a little too corner here. That's 804 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,479 Speaker 1: you know, Nope, that's where we're going. And the fact 805 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: that we will be there. Which was the last American 806 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: Football League team to play because the Chiefs represented the 807 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 1: afllen beating the Minnesota Vikings on that game, the first 808 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: franchise Super Bowl victory, and to do so as the 809 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: last AFL team. The other thing that I think is 810 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: fun this is Super Bowl fifty nine. Lamar Hunt founded 811 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: the American Football League in nineteen fifty nine, So it's 812 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 1: just too much fun to look at all of these 813 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: subplots and realize and if you're one of Ted Lasso's 814 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: writers and you follow us on defending the Kingdom and 815 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: you're gone, and they got us on this one. None 816 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 1: of this is fiction. It's all fact.
