Speaker 1: The game is over and the Chief's Kingdom has firmly
Speaker 1: planted its flag on top of football's highest summit. The
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs part champions of Super Bowl fifty four
Speaker 1: and Chief's Kingdom get ready to welcome your champions. Final
Speaker 1: score Kansas City one, San Francisco twenty. There it is
Speaker 1: Mitch holt Is. He's been waiting his whole damn life
Speaker 1: to make that call. In Chiefe fans, They've been waiting
Speaker 1: fifty years for their team to hoist Lombardi, and it
Speaker 1: finally happened on this the second day of February two thousand,
Speaker 1: twenty of the Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: champions after that thirty one twin over the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niners, a game in which they were down like
Speaker 1: they were in all their postseason games by double digits,
Speaker 1: this time in the fourth quarter, and yet Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: and company would not be denied. Dan Kansas Here the
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast presented by Little Caesar's and Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you from a hard rock stadium that
Speaker 1: is filled with heroes. Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal.
Speaker 1: What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? Still filled with some
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans and employees. Usually I feel like we start
Speaker 1: the taping after midnight, got it going a little quicker,
Speaker 1: like there's still an m v P chant going on.
Speaker 1: It was exciting. These fans don't want to leave. They've waited,
Speaker 1: you know, half a century for this. Uh. Yeah, Usually
Speaker 1: when we're here, it feels like we're ghosts, like passing
Speaker 1: through the stadium and and and you can't. You're not
Speaker 1: sure if you're human or not, so you get back
Speaker 1: to the hotel. Um. But in this case, we're here,
Speaker 1: the field is covered in confetti, and uh, we're on
Speaker 1: the third level of the really nice hard rock stadium
Speaker 1: here in Miami. Was a great super Bowl week. Um,
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a great city for a super Bowl,
Speaker 1: the eleven super Bowl in this area which is most
Speaker 1: just past New Orleans, and uh, if you're a Chiefs fan, Um,
Speaker 1: this was the dream come true. And I got to
Speaker 1: watch the second half of this game in the seats
Speaker 1: with my cousin Matt, and I just you know, watching
Speaker 1: an older gentleman guy looked like he was in his
Speaker 1: fifties with his wife. Um. A Chiefs fan in Jersey.
Speaker 1: As that game, it became clear after obviously the Damian
Speaker 1: well even before the Damian Williams run that clinched it um.
Speaker 1: It was becoming clear. Then the Williams touchdown, and then
Speaker 1: there was this release like, oh my god, the Chiefs
Speaker 1: West are gonna win the Super Bowl. And it was
Speaker 1: a well earned win and one that didn't look particularly
Speaker 1: like it was heading in this direction even halfway through
Speaker 1: the fourth corner. Well, the Chiefs to me, their players
Speaker 1: and coach kind of remind me of the fans. It's
Speaker 1: been so long since they got that Super Bowl in
Speaker 1: for Andy Reid. It's been so long. A guy like
Speaker 1: Frank Clark finds his way there, hunting Badger, finds his
Speaker 1: way to Kansas City to make this happen. Terrell Sucks
Speaker 1: is lucky enough to come along for the ride at
Speaker 1: the end of the year. A lot of guys just
Speaker 1: find their way to Kansas City and ended up winning
Speaker 1: this one. And you're right, fourth quarter, at midway through
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, a nine point six percent win probab probability,
Speaker 1: and I know that's not your fast. That the latest
Speaker 1: evidence that people need to stop stop talking about win probability.
Speaker 1: It means nothing other than a Twitter talking point. It
Speaker 1: means it's un it means it's unlikely the other team's
Speaker 1: gonna win. And now h Kyle Shanahan would it peaked
Speaker 1: at about ninety nine point six percent against the Patriots
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter and now he's had pot
Speaker 1: six percent. Well, that percentage I don't think takes into
Speaker 1: account Patrick Mahomes. It just doesn't. Or the Chief's offense
Speaker 1: or Andy Reid. Like the way that you have to
Speaker 1: dominate Patrick Mahomes and make his life uncomfortable for sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: I think is the hardest thing to do in the NFL.
Speaker 1: The forty Niners balled out on defense, not unlike I
Speaker 1: believe the Seahawks balled out on defense against the Broncos.
Speaker 1: They did so many things right for the first three quarters.
Speaker 1: I think in a lot of scenarios and with a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks, that game would have been to six
Speaker 1: at with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and
Speaker 1: there never could have been a comeback. But Mahomes got
Speaker 1: out of a lot of plays that could have gone worse.
Speaker 1: He had a lot of negative plays. The Chiefs defense
Speaker 1: did just enough, and it just shows you, yeah, you
Speaker 1: can you can do a lot well, they held him
Speaker 1: to five point three yards for play, which is a
Speaker 1: very low number for the Chiefs, and the Chiefs still
Speaker 1: put up thirty one points and nine drives. They barely
Speaker 1: have the ball and they still went over. But not
Speaker 1: surprising because that's what they've been doing for months and months.
Speaker 1: And if we had one kernel of information going into
Speaker 1: for the last two weeks to to base all our analysison,
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes would open the third
Speaker 1: quarter with back to back picks by Patrick Mahomes, and
Speaker 1: that the Niners would be nestling a lead minutes into
Speaker 1: the fourth, you would think this is a perfect set
Speaker 1: up for San Francisco to run away with this thing.
Speaker 1: But if you give Patrick Mahomes even ten minutes to
Speaker 1: operate and he gets hot, everything's off the table. Fifty
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes of game time, the Niners
Speaker 1: balled down in date and I remember thinking as the
Speaker 1: game was reaching, as it's taking through the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: and they have a twenty to ten lead, and thinking myself,
Speaker 1: what made the Chiefs so unstoppable when they were humming
Speaker 1: in the regular season, but especially in those two comebacks
Speaker 1: in the a f C playoffs. It was that big
Speaker 1: play ability that the Niners, through their dominant front four, um,
Speaker 1: we're taking away Mahomes running for his life just a
Speaker 1: bit by his brilliance kept this game close because almost
Speaker 1: any other quarterback decide of Lamar Jackson has a couple
Speaker 1: of sacks fumbles and the game gets away, like what
Speaker 1: von Miller did to Cam Newton a few years back.
Speaker 1: But he was able to stay on his feet keep
Speaker 1: the game from getting away and the getting what really
Speaker 1: sticks out to me at that moment again, midway through
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, after the Tyreek Hill catches overturned on review,
Speaker 1: and you feel the entire building is psyching up. It
Speaker 1: feels like the Niners are about to make the big
Speaker 1: play two plays away from winning the Super Bowl. It
Speaker 1: is third and a miles, third and fourteen. I believe
Speaker 1: third and fifteen, and I leaned to my cousin Matt,
Speaker 1: I said, the most likely play is that you get
Speaker 1: try to get half of this back and then make
Speaker 1: a manageable fourth down, fourth and five and get it done.
Speaker 1: But no, that's not what the Chiefs do. That's not
Speaker 1: how they operate. And even in a game where they
Speaker 1: never made any big plays with the season on the line,
Speaker 1: Mahomes dropped back and this time found tyreek Hill West
Speaker 1: on a busted coverage and that changed everything because you
Speaker 1: see Mahome drop back and unfurrol the ball before tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill breaks open. He doesn't even know where tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: is on the field. He just lets it go as
Speaker 1: far as you can. There's a huge play in the
Speaker 1: forty nine secondary let down their pass rush. That play
Speaker 1: where they lost tyreek Hill was a trade avious more
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference in the end zone. Watkins getting beat
Speaker 1: by Sammy Watkins off the line of scrimmage. A lot
Speaker 1: of big plays there by the secondary A loud Let's
Speaker 1: listen to that. Let's listen to that call, uh the
Speaker 1: big forty four yard because there really changed everything. The
Speaker 1: game was never the same after that play. Four man
Speaker 1: rush with those four or enough did they come. Mahomes
Speaker 1: stepping up, He's throwing long down field for tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: got it to twenty yard line and then spun down
Speaker 1: there the first giant chunk of the game. On third
Speaker 1: down and fifteen and Mahomes guns it for forty four
Speaker 1: yards down to the San Francisco twenty one yard line.
Speaker 1: West hit on it so well with the anticipation and
Speaker 1: that he needed to trust Tyree Hill to be there.
Speaker 1: But the reason he had to let it go is
Speaker 1: because DeForrest Buckner, who had a great game and I
Speaker 1: think could have been in the mix for m v
Speaker 1: P if anyone ever voted for defensive players. You know,
Speaker 1: if the fort had won, hit Patrick Mahomes on that
Speaker 1: play pretty much right after he let go of the ball.
Speaker 1: But I love that you brought up that, you know, Dan,
Speaker 1: that they went for a long pass on that play
Speaker 1: rather than going short, because that is kind of what's
Speaker 1: different about these Chiefs and especially Andy Reid. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes who changed him, or maybe it's Andy Reid
Speaker 1: who has a great effect on Mahomes, Like, you can't
Speaker 1: really answer that, but their aggressiveness was so key, And
Speaker 1: Mahomes mentioned it was the same play call as in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter against the Patriots in the a f
Speaker 1: C Championship game last year, in a very similar third
Speaker 1: and very long situation that they dialed it up for
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and they hit it then, And that game
Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of this one where the Patriots
Speaker 1: played perfect defense and the Chiefs scored twenty one points
Speaker 1: in the fourth core or just like they did a
Speaker 1: year ago. The difference this time is the Chiefs defense
Speaker 1: made stops. The Chiefs defense let Patrick Mahomes go win,
Speaker 1: go win games. You're rolling your eyes, Mark, No, not
Speaker 1: at all. I mean I I look at the Niners
Speaker 1: offense because I said this was gonna be the game
Speaker 1: where Kyle Shanahan, this was gonna be his coronation. And
Speaker 1: after that second Mahomes interception, that's where I thought they
Speaker 1: could seal this thing. And instead they go three and
Speaker 1: out and can't generate anything. It's a punt and it's
Speaker 1: like they had chances through the entire fourth quarter to
Speaker 1: be what the Niners have been on offense in this postseason,
Speaker 1: and they looked nothing like it. And I was, I, I,
Speaker 1: you're right that the Chief's defense, which won't be talked
Speaker 1: about as much as Patrick Mahomes because Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 1: the most talked about American over the last two weeks
Speaker 1: of all I mean, and it's just like, fine, let's
Speaker 1: just keep talking about Patrick Mahomes. He had two ugly interceptions.
Speaker 1: This is probably one of his weakest games of the
Speaker 1: year until the final fifteen minutes and the Niners offense
Speaker 1: went to sleep. I think if you're a Niners fin,
Speaker 1: you have to be extremely frustrated with how they disas
Speaker 1: associated from who they've been down the stretch the whole game.
Speaker 1: The whole game. I thought the play calling was the
Speaker 1: play calling of a head coach who was worried about
Speaker 1: a quarterback being the deciding factor in the game. And
Speaker 1: it didn't help that Jimmy Garoppolo threw that ugly interception
Speaker 1: early in the game where he was just throwing a
Speaker 1: nowhere where you know, there was pressure on him early
Speaker 1: and he just kind of threw it up to nothing.
Speaker 1: And maybe that didn't make Kyle shaneen a little conservative.
Speaker 1: He talked about how at the end of the first
Speaker 1: half he took a lot of grief, you know on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he didn't know about it, but you know
Speaker 1: by going run, not taking a time out, and then
Speaker 1: running the ball twice before they wounded up, you know,
Speaker 1: wound up hitting a big plane almost getting a field goal.
Speaker 1: But it was a very conservative approach, and he said,
Speaker 1: we were very comfortable being tend to tend. We were
Speaker 1: we were we were happy to go to halftime ten
Speaker 1: to tend if we hit a big run on that
Speaker 1: first run, then we would have maybe gone for it
Speaker 1: more that that was. We had another great season with
Speaker 1: sky Sports and Neil Reynolds and the whole gang. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the first quarter, Mark and I
Speaker 1: went and did a sky Sports hit with Josh Norman,
Speaker 1: an excellent hit by the way, I thought it was
Speaker 1: maybe a perfect hit. Maybe it's been. It's been a
Speaker 1: season long battle. Every time two of us come downstairs
Speaker 1: from the podcast studio. After two of us do a
Speaker 1: sky it doesn't really matter which to it is. We
Speaker 1: immediately tell the other too, like you're not gonna tell,
Speaker 1: but it's a battle in your mind because Dan and
Speaker 1: I are immediately d m by Neil suggesting that the
Speaker 1: best were you the guy that said basically, every time
Speaker 1: you you say something, then the opposite happens right as
Speaker 1: you Because you know how our last hit on sky
Speaker 1: Sports ended. It ended with me calling out our producer Mace. Sorry, Mace,
Speaker 1: who right when Jimmy g I mean right when Mahomes
Speaker 1: throws that second interception, he said, game over. And then
Speaker 1: we get on the air and I just started talking
Speaker 1: about there's no way this thing, this game is over.
Speaker 1: We've seen it too many times defenses, and so I'm
Speaker 1: going to get back to my initials. You're gonna if
Speaker 1: you're gonna say Josh Norman, former All Pro cornerback, you know,
Speaker 1: active player. After we got up there, right around the
Speaker 1: Jimmy g pick and the last thing Norman said and
Speaker 1: then we went to break, it was like, this guy's
Speaker 1: a game manager. And I was like, oh, he's still
Speaker 1: battling that. And I'm not saying this is not on
Speaker 1: Jimmy g this loss. But then the again, the play
Speaker 1: that comes to mind again, it's they get the big
Speaker 1: play to Hill the Chiefs, they get in the end
Speaker 1: zone on the Kelsey touchdown, it's things are still okay.
Speaker 1: You have a big you have a big third and five,
Speaker 1: and you just gotta make a play. Somebody's got to
Speaker 1: step up and and and I know Kyle Shanahan is
Speaker 1: people that love Shanahan and I have all the respect
Speaker 1: in the world for him as a as a coach,
Speaker 1: but just this is the way sports work man. He's
Speaker 1: now got this around his neck and it's gonna just
Speaker 1: continue to build around him as a career. Narrative that
Speaker 1: you had three o c with the Falcons four years
Speaker 1: ago now lead and you needed this offense, this genius
Speaker 1: uh and West you wrote an amazing piece on NFL
Speaker 1: dot Com breaking down these offenses. Uh. And the quarterback
Speaker 1: play you gotta make. Somebody's gotta make a play, and
Speaker 1: maybe you gotta dial up a play to help out
Speaker 1: your team when when they're starting to get a little
Speaker 1: tight and they couldn't do it. And that is gonna
Speaker 1: stick with Niners fans for a long time. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: saw Andy Reid's wife after the game said he was
Speaker 1: calm as I just saw an interview on TV. I
Speaker 1: didn't actually see her, but she said that, Uh, he
Speaker 1: was as calm as a cucumber, and he was treating
Speaker 1: this like it was just another game. And that's something
Speaker 1: that you always say. But I think you could tell
Speaker 1: that he handled it a little bit differently than Kyle Shannon. Well.
Speaker 1: I think we should give Steve Spagnolo some credit for
Speaker 1: how that fourth quarter. That's three, Greg, He's got three
Speaker 1: rings as a d C. Now he only got one
Speaker 1: in New York, He's only got one, so he's got
Speaker 1: two now, one in each conference. One of the great
Speaker 1: dcs of all time, or at least I mean, he's
Speaker 1: a big game DC, and I think the Chiefs coaching staff,
Speaker 1: to their credit, kept trying different things on offense and
Speaker 1: defense throughout the game until something worked. And in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter they started dialing up pressure. And this is
Speaker 1: where I do think you can kind of put it
Speaker 1: on Jimmy G, you know, to some extent. They started
Speaker 1: dialing up pressure in those last three drives that went nowhere,
Speaker 1: and it was pretty clear where the pressure is coming from.
Speaker 1: Troy's calling it before the play. It's like it's overloaded.
Speaker 1: They did it again and again, and Jimmy G held
Speaker 1: the ball and he took some sacks, and Kendall Fuller
Speaker 1: made a big time play, and Chris Jones knew the
Speaker 1: pressure was coming and just waited for Jimmy need to
Speaker 1: throw it on one third down and just jumped up
Speaker 1: and slapped it down. He made a lot of big
Speaker 1: place So the players made big plays, but they didn't
Speaker 1: get it all blocked up, and when they did, Jimmy
Speaker 1: G didn't have an answer. And sometimes that's the difference
Speaker 1: between a guy like Mahomes or a guy like Brady
Speaker 1: having an answer when those blitz has come in a
Speaker 1: big spot. He didn't have an answer. I thought that
Speaker 1: after the interception by Jimmy g early on that there
Speaker 1: was a at least a two quarter chunk of the
Speaker 1: game where he did respond well and he he you know,
Speaker 1: he's not making killer after that pick and before the
Speaker 1: Chiefs come back, he could not miss. In fact, every
Speaker 1: throw was right on the numbers in the hands. That's
Speaker 1: what makes this such a tough loss for the night.
Speaker 1: I always the Super Bowl loss is devastating, but they
Speaker 1: looked like they were rolling. The defense was lights out
Speaker 1: and Garoppolo was on target and it changed so quickly
Speaker 1: he got the fourth quarter. Garoppolo got a higher pf
Speaker 1: F grade for this game than the Homes and I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it was even that close, but you still
Speaker 1: we started talking on the way over here and there
Speaker 1: is kind of a conversation, and you know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: a great Mahomes game compared to other games because he
Speaker 1: did have those negative plays he had, you know, he
Speaker 1: took and a couple of interceptions. You know, that's what
Speaker 1: he was. He was frenetic, and you could think of
Speaker 1: that drive that ended with the red zone interception where
Speaker 1: he threw the ball behind Hill and some of the
Speaker 1: forty Niners receivers helped out Jimmy d with he was
Speaker 1: off the mark multiple that gets intercepted. But so many
Speaker 1: of the players that Mahomes had to make. I think
Speaker 1: we're with his first or second read taken away and
Speaker 1: he just had to make something happen, and he did
Speaker 1: that pretty often, and he was never comfortable. But ultimately
Speaker 1: you get credit for once your defense gets the ball back,
Speaker 1: you drove them down the field for those two touchdowns
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. Like that's that's what ultimately matters.
Speaker 1: I'm not in him credit for Damian Williams thirty eight
Speaker 1: yard touched the last first time we mentioned Damian Williams name,
Speaker 1: and he should have been the m v P. Bad
Speaker 1: job by the voters on that one. Actually good job
Speaker 1: sandwich wise for me. Yeah, but they're basically saying no
Speaker 1: position is worth celebrating except the quarterback in this game.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how he's named m v P when
Speaker 1: it is probably the second or third worst game of
Speaker 1: his entire career. Ten fourth quarter, you are by passing
Speaker 1: all of the bad plays. He knew he made bad plays,
Speaker 1: but in the fourth go to the Super Bowl. Ten
Speaker 1: plays eighty three yards seven place sixty five yards leave
Speaker 1: out the last touchdown. That is as money as it
Speaker 1: gets in the biggest of all spots. And I know,
Speaker 1: so what Damian Williams did just doesn't even matter. I
Speaker 1: did say that he had a better game than the
Speaker 1: Homes I mean, let down, calm down. He did. It
Speaker 1: was a garbage time touchdown essentially at the end. That's
Speaker 1: like he was having a good game in the first half.
Speaker 1: I thought they showed a lot of trust to Damian Williams.
Speaker 1: I would at least have the game I'm talking m
Speaker 1: v P, but that they established the run game and
Speaker 1: I would have given Damian Williams the m v P two.
Speaker 1: I he did make people missy. He made a receiving touchdown.
Speaker 1: I'm not like offended by it because it is a
Speaker 1: great comeback. There's this you know that that stat that
Speaker 1: you know, our our our shadowy league figure Mark Brady
Speaker 1: sent us that only three teams in the history of
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl have gone into the fourth quarter with
Speaker 1: the ten point lead and blown it. And unfortunately Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan has been the coach you know of the last
Speaker 1: two to happen. And I got thinking about it, and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, Richard Sherman has been on two
Speaker 1: of those two. You know, Tom Brady had a fourteen
Speaker 1: point fourth quarter comeback against what that year was the
Speaker 1: most ferocious defense. Very similar in a lot of ways
Speaker 1: when the Patriots came back against the Seahawks, so and
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes did it today, It's like, I don't
Speaker 1: care how you get there. If you could do that
Speaker 1: in that spot, and he made a lot of plays
Speaker 1: before that, I'm not gonna be too upset that he
Speaker 1: wins an m v P. Let me just say one
Speaker 1: more thing about in terms of Mahomes statistically far from
Speaker 1: his best game and did was he sloppy early on?
Speaker 1: And did he makes some mistakes? But I just want
Speaker 1: to hit on again how ferocious the Niners were in
Speaker 1: their pass rush. And I thought there were several places,
Speaker 1: even if they didn't lead to big games or didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily lead to scoring drives, where it seemed like a
Speaker 1: lesser quarterback would have been snowed under. He was escaping
Speaker 1: pressure all game, running for his life, and I just
Speaker 1: think those are the things that maybe doesn't show up
Speaker 1: in the back in the box score. And it's also
Speaker 1: why I don't buy the idea, oh he's rattled because
Speaker 1: he threw a pick or two. I think he stayed.
Speaker 1: He had remarkable composure in my mind against the defense
Speaker 1: that smelled blood, and he refused to back down. I
Speaker 1: think it was not a perfect game by him, but
Speaker 1: a reminder of why he's so special. I'd also wonder
Speaker 1: after the first of two huge shots he took in
Speaker 1: this game, that first hint he took was was he
Speaker 1: entirely healthy? We just don't know. I mean, he he
Speaker 1: might have been working through some stuff. But the Niners
Speaker 1: just their secondary collapsed in the end. But they played
Speaker 1: a nice job early on of like not giving him
Speaker 1: a lot of looks down field right like Fred Warner
Speaker 1: was awesome. I guess that's that's the point I'm trying
Speaker 1: to make is I think the best defense in the
Speaker 1: league played their very best for three quarters and they
Speaker 1: still lost. So that to me is a measure of
Speaker 1: the greatness of the Chiefs and Andy Reid and the
Speaker 1: whole organization, like the whole team, because the defense really
Speaker 1: did make some baller plays in the fourth quarter. I mean,
Speaker 1: they really did make stops. Most Chiefs games this year,
Speaker 1: or certainly last year, like they didn't make those stops
Speaker 1: and it would just have been going back and forth
Speaker 1: in the end that you didn't even have to sweat
Speaker 1: out the ending. It's their trademark. It's it's not just
Speaker 1: that to the first team ever to come from behind
Speaker 1: double digits three times in a playoff run. It's that
Speaker 1: they ended up winning all three of those games by
Speaker 1: double digits. They've got a fast break offense like a
Speaker 1: basketball team, and every a f C team now has
Speaker 1: to build their team to stop the Chief's offense. And
Speaker 1: it helps make Andy Reid or bold I think like
Speaker 1: he if he had. There was a criticism of Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: It was that he was an aggressive coach until he
Speaker 1: got a big lead. He was the guy who would
Speaker 1: blow big leads. He would get conservative. And you have
Speaker 1: to say, like in the first half of this game,
Speaker 1: he was the aggressive one. He went for it on
Speaker 1: fourth down multiple times and he hit it like and
Speaker 1: and points came from those. Kyle Shanahan kicked a field
Speaker 1: goal on they were on the goal line, and he's
Speaker 1: doing direct snaps to Damien Williams on fourth and one
Speaker 1: from the four. I mean that is about his That
Speaker 1: is his ball z A call as the Philly Special
Speaker 1: and it was not a good snap. It was one
Speaker 1: of the most underrated players in that game. That's the
Speaker 1: direct staff that went to Damian Williams was like a
Speaker 1: foot and a half to his right, and Damian Williams
Speaker 1: snatched that thing and then he went in if most
Speaker 1: running backs, I feel like, aren't gonna catch that, and
Speaker 1: everyone's killing Andy Reid, So it gets to it. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's these players that that make the ball plays look good.
Speaker 1: And like Andy Reid was going for all game, like
Speaker 1: to score that touchdown. They were running opstion plays where
Speaker 1: my homes was getting killed, Like those were brilliant play calls.
Speaker 1: You know what the hell of it is? How many
Speaker 1: times do you think Kyle Shanahan and the last three
Speaker 1: years has told himself, given himself a pep talk and said,
Speaker 1: if I ever get this chance again to get back
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, I'm gonna be aggressive. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go for it. We're gonna handle fourth thounds differently. And
Speaker 1: when push came to shove coach the same way did
Speaker 1: the last time he blew up Steady reminds me more
Speaker 1: of Sean McVeigh coming out of last year's super Bowl
Speaker 1: where you're gonna have an off season questioning everything that
Speaker 1: happened in this sixty minute I see. I never. I
Speaker 1: think you're right West, But I also never. I didn't
Speaker 1: put almost any of twenty three on Kyle Shianna and
Speaker 1: and I put a lot more on this. And I
Speaker 1: will remember he had regrets after that game. He know
Speaker 1: he did. Oh no, I know he did, But I
Speaker 1: don't think he necessarily did a lot of things wrong.
Speaker 1: They they got too much of the blame. It will
Speaker 1: be a talking point all off, whether you think that
Speaker 1: or not. Right this year, though, I think he deserves
Speaker 1: the blame, and it's gonna really haunt me. The image
Speaker 1: they showed. I think it was after the haunt you
Speaker 1: I want to hear about. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was like the Williams. I'm serious, you got a lot
Speaker 1: going for you. I don't know if it was like
Speaker 1: the Williams's gonna wake up like Axel Rose in the
Speaker 1: November rain video covered in sweat heaving. I don't know
Speaker 1: if maybe it was the failed fourth down by the
Speaker 1: forty niners um that gave the Chiefs the ball the
Speaker 1: last time, or was the Williams run, But they did
Speaker 1: a quick sideline shot of Kyle Shanahan where it looked
Speaker 1: like all the air was out of his body and
Speaker 1: he just looked like a ghost, like it was like
Speaker 1: the moment that he knew it had all happened again,
Speaker 1: and they just looked like. That was a tough press
Speaker 1: conference to listen to. He was like just through great.
Speaker 1: He he handled it really well. But you had to
Speaker 1: feel because when you when when you're the O scen
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and the and the unthinkable happens, you know
Speaker 1: what that hurts. That will stick with you forever. But
Speaker 1: the next day you're on a plane and you're going
Speaker 1: to the press conference to take a new head coaching job.
Speaker 1: When you're in the big chair, I'm sure this one
Speaker 1: will will haunt him. Speaking of haunting this that's gonna
Speaker 1: stay with him forever and hopefully because he seems like
Speaker 1: a good dude and he's a great coach, and he's
Speaker 1: an exciting type guy, uh to have in the league
Speaker 1: because he's so smart and he's changing the game with
Speaker 1: the way he's calling games. Uh, you just hope he
Speaker 1: has another chance to get to the summit because maybe
Speaker 1: maybe we're looking at the new Andy Reid. You know
Speaker 1: now that Read is the guy that everyone respected as
Speaker 1: this great offensive mind that could never get him over
Speaker 1: the hump. And Read, like you want to talk about
Speaker 1: winners and losers, maybe we'll do something at the end
Speaker 1: of the show. Winner Andy Reads such a big winner,
Speaker 1: and we talked about the week and everybody talked about it.
Speaker 1: But I just I, I honestly feel like in my
Speaker 1: years covering the sport and just being a football fan,
Speaker 1: Read has been just such a remarkable, little, remarkably durable
Speaker 1: and impressive head coach. But he needed that one. He
Speaker 1: needed this one to really be the guy that you
Speaker 1: say no brainer for Canton, and he's the guy we've
Speaker 1: talked about how he's the godfather, and he's got the
Speaker 1: coaching tree, and he's got the longevity, and he's got
Speaker 1: the winds. But now he's got the ring. Well, it
Speaker 1: seems slightly absurd to me with the whole Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame thing that had they been nipped in this game,
Speaker 1: that suddenly he's not a Hall of Famer Win. All
Speaker 1: these qualities are still true of him. But but but
Speaker 1: but that's exactly how it works, because you'd have to
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find too many other coaches that
Speaker 1: would get in that situation. So in a way, it
Speaker 1: feels very just. And this game is not a game
Speaker 1: where one for me, one side was easy to root against.
Speaker 1: They're both very likable teams. And the Chiefs, though this
Speaker 1: feels like a long time coming. I think the stadium
Speaker 1: had to be sixty Chiefs. Now, that's me guessing. When
Speaker 1: we were the three of us, Greg West and I
Speaker 1: and I wanted this is a comment I would make
Speaker 1: about watching football in person, tucked away in a and
Speaker 1: this was very nice. They put us in these nice
Speaker 1: seats in this press box, but uh, thick sound glass
Speaker 1: windows and soundless TVs and it was an not ex
Speaker 1: experience trying to talk the emotion of the game. And Dan,
Speaker 1: you were out there in the second half with one
Speaker 1: of your cousins, and you you you felt the second
Speaker 1: half in a totally different way than I have to
Speaker 1: say as somebody that grew up as a teenager. Once
Speaker 1: I realized I wasn't gonna play sports professionally, I wanted
Speaker 1: to write about sports. And then when I started working
Speaker 1: at the Journal News in Westchester County, New York and
Speaker 1: started to learn what the business was about, I became
Speaker 1: very quickly disillusioned by it, to see how I got
Speaker 1: into it for the love of it, and then it
Speaker 1: gets kind of sucked away and it becomes a job
Speaker 1: for people. And this is no disrespect for all the
Speaker 1: great reporters up there, uh, because they were all the
Speaker 1: best football writers in the business were up there. But
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I felt like we were hermetically sealed, right,
Speaker 1: that's well behind that glass. And uh, it just reminded me, honestly,
Speaker 1: more than anything else, just how lucky we are, uh
Speaker 1: that we get to experience the sport as fans still
Speaker 1: that it just it's just it's crazy to me that
Speaker 1: that's how Uh, you know, sportswriters tend to cover these
Speaker 1: games from the box. One thing you could hear in
Speaker 1: that box the moment that's gonna be on Andy Reid
Speaker 1: a football life, when they start chanting his name, you know,
Speaker 1: with a few seconds left, the entire Chiefs sections just
Speaker 1: chanting and Andy. And that was Yeah, that I it
Speaker 1: was a reminder like that, when you're in the press box,
Speaker 1: it all seems like and I think in a library
Speaker 1: and a whisper to Yeah, there was no there was nothing.
Speaker 1: There's nothing it's just different. I mean, that's that's how
Speaker 1: it is normally. You know, we're out in the crowd
Speaker 1: or in an open air thing, and we actually were
Speaker 1: lucky to get moved down there. You know, we got
Speaker 1: helped out by doing that. But I when you're in person,
Speaker 1: it goes by, so it goes by so fast, and
Speaker 1: you do get that. You do are reminded watching it
Speaker 1: in person in general, whether you're in the crowd or not,
Speaker 1: that these are just like people playing the game, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel as like weighty and emotion and crazy,
Speaker 1: like what even when it's your team and I've watched
Speaker 1: the Patriots obviously, here at you're just like, oh, these
Speaker 1: are just like dudes on the field play in the game,
Speaker 1: whereas at home it feels like life and death and gladiators.
Speaker 1: But that's TV, like you really, that's the show. Like,
Speaker 1: that's that's TV. It's not necessarily the sport itself. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's pause here halftime, Let's talk halftime.
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of Shakira and jay La.
Speaker 1: It might have been one of the I love the
Speaker 1: Beyonce one. I think this might have been one of
Speaker 1: the best half times that I've ever seen, but of
Speaker 1: any super Bowl I thought they both knocked it completely huge,
Speaker 1: massive home runs. I have a prediction. I think this
Speaker 1: is the this is the future of the halftime show.
Speaker 1: That it's so hard to hit on an artist that
Speaker 1: everybody's into. But I like the idea of this co
Speaker 1: headline where you got the twelve minutes and in this case,
Speaker 1: Shakira takes a stage. Shakira outrageous. I get the appeal.
Speaker 1: What a nice job. You're in a big spot, Chris
Speaker 1: Russo and you know I'm using Chris Russo language again.
Speaker 1: She can She did a nice shot out damn Ikea.
Speaker 1: She really well. Um. I wonder what his actual assessment is,
Speaker 1: but yeah, as someone someone I saw point out and
Speaker 1: like Twitter was very horny after that. And then Jlo
Speaker 1: comes out around the six minute mark. She does great
Speaker 1: work and you remember, oh, she's got some bangers. I
Speaker 1: kind of forgot Jalow head bangers. Um and uh, I
Speaker 1: just it was. It was a good halftime. The Maroon
Speaker 1: five was a large misstep and now we're back on track.
Speaker 1: Let's go more co headliners and nix up the genres
Speaker 1: and go that round. I would say one thing you know,
Speaker 1: I'm the one that put in the homework consult hustlers
Speaker 1: UH this last offseason and was roundly, you know, dismissed
Speaker 1: by the three of you for doing that. But I
Speaker 1: knew this was coming after watching them. You weren't dismissing.
Speaker 1: You were more questioned. It was like, why did he
Speaker 1: go opening night? I know how I felt, and I
Speaker 1: felt totally. I did not go at night time to
Speaker 1: begin with. It was like it was a it was
Speaker 1: a we into the run and all that said, I
Speaker 1: will I just want to say this, not to get
Speaker 1: too off track, but as I vouched for co headlining gigs,
Speaker 1: I went to this a T and tea party where
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga did a whole show last night. She should
Speaker 1: be the first person to ever do a headline again
Speaker 1: that there's not too many out there. Gaga is where
Speaker 1: it's at to me right now in terms of pop
Speaker 1: stars that have the true reach that I'm I'm all
Speaker 1: team Gaga for a second go around. But yes, I
Speaker 1: did like the co headline. Best music performers in the
Speaker 1: night I thought was Yolanda Adams singing God Bless America.
Speaker 1: She was fantastic. Landa did a nice just a nice
Speaker 1: shot by Landapod too. What about a snowy hikey I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for. Speaking of Chris Russo, the mad Dog was
Speaker 1: on our preview show on Thursday at Radio Row and
Speaker 1: do you have that, Ricky? He he made a prediction
Speaker 1: that maybe it's time to like plug in on all
Speaker 1: Chris Russo related predictions. Let's listen in I they get
Speaker 1: today even game, Um, I think first of Freny one
Speaker 1: will win. I'll probably lean mahomes. There you go, mad
Speaker 1: Dog nails it. I guess doing this for nearly four
Speaker 1: decades allows you to see things that others do not.
Speaker 1: It's funny when he said that, I thought that was
Speaker 1: an interesting, like very specific thing to say. If someone
Speaker 1: gets the third one, I guess that would that would
Speaker 1: be good for them. If they got the thirty one first,
Speaker 1: that that's big. That's good. All right, Let's let's get
Speaker 1: back to the game scientists. Something that jumped out to
Speaker 1: you guys as you were watching this kid the George
Speaker 1: Kittle offensive pass interference, which you like the call? I
Speaker 1: don't like it at all. We saw our riverant took
Speaker 1: us through a play remarkably like this during our talent
Speaker 1: summit way back in June, and most of the crowd
Speaker 1: said no. He asked us, is this pass interference? And
Speaker 1: most people said no, it's not. He said, yes it is,
Speaker 1: and the coaches wanted called offensive pass interference. And when
Speaker 1: you watch it, I rewatching about seven different times. It's
Speaker 1: just a weak call. To me, I disagree with our
Speaker 1: river on then I disagree with him. Now that's not
Speaker 1: enough considering all of the pushing and hand checking that
Speaker 1: goes on between receivers and DB's downfield. To me, you
Speaker 1: let that go. It was a huge plane. Just a
Speaker 1: little context that was late in the second quarter the
Speaker 1: Niners and you know Kyle Shannon, and we're not going
Speaker 1: to pile on this guy. It's a tough night for him.
Speaker 1: But some of the clock management at the end of
Speaker 1: the second quarter. I thought he was a little lethargic.
Speaker 1: But the it's a deep throw down the right sideline,
Speaker 1: kittled to me, he pushed off a little, but it's like,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna when these guys are these gladiators
Speaker 1: are in combat trying to just get open. I didn't
Speaker 1: think it was anything egregious. It's changed. It costs. Also,
Speaker 1: the best throw of the night, but I grew up
Speaker 1: beautiful throw. It cost them at least three points. Uh,
Speaker 1: and who knows what happens if they might have went
Speaker 1: in there. Who knows it was. It was a fascinating
Speaker 1: turn of events in that couple of minutes where it
Speaker 1: could have gone either way. Kyle Sanan was just trying
Speaker 1: to run the ball and go to halftime, which you
Speaker 1: know we've talked about already, and was kind of gutless um.
Speaker 1: But then read read went the other way and he
Speaker 1: took a time out at third and five seconds. He said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to halftime. I want to
Speaker 1: try to get Patrick Mahomes the ball. I'm gonna trust
Speaker 1: my defense here. It didn't pay off. The forty Niners
Speaker 1: ended up getting in a position, uh to do it,
Speaker 1: and then the kid will call, you know, ended up
Speaker 1: kind of evening out. He was moving and his arm
Speaker 1: was extended, and so that I just feel like that
Speaker 1: is that they're gonna call that when it's totally extended
Speaker 1: and there's contact. The only problem which I would understand
Speaker 1: forty Niners arguing about is they weren't calling anything. And
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm a little I guess ambivalent about
Speaker 1: them calling in Old Bill Binovitch here for the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl because he's known to not call any penalties and
Speaker 1: they love putting it in big spots, And I thought
Speaker 1: Mike Pereira, I think it was him, made a great
Speaker 1: point in the week. All the biggest problems the NFL
Speaker 1: has had in the last few years and big moments
Speaker 1: have been on calls, and so they bring Old Vanovich
Speaker 1: in because they don't call it. This crew doesn't call
Speaker 1: any penalties. They were letting him hand checking in battle
Speaker 1: all night, so that it wasn't it. Maybe it wasn't consistent.
Speaker 1: There's a huge subset of the football community that would
Speaker 1: rather have a game be light on calls than I
Speaker 1: don't want to an exhibition of football entertainment where it's
Speaker 1: all flags going over the field. Come on, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, uh and West it's it's I'm glad you
Speaker 1: brought it up because it was such a big play
Speaker 1: in the game. But Championship weekend and Super Bowl Sunday,
Speaker 1: I'm glad there wasn't some massive officiating brew haha. And
Speaker 1: there wasn't over the last three games of the season,
Speaker 1: the three most important games, So that to me was
Speaker 1: it was a positive because it was getting to be rediculous.
Speaker 1: To be quite honest, I'll throw out one thing that
Speaker 1: I'll remember from this game, and I think forty Niners
Speaker 1: fans really really will too. And maybe not quite the same,
Speaker 1: but similar to that Jared off throw last year that
Speaker 1: Jason mccordy broke up. You know, we got on Kyle
Speaker 1: Shay in a hand for not being aggressive third and ten,
Speaker 1: it's it's one forty four, like left I believe still
Speaker 1: at the No, it's it's a little earlier than that.
Speaker 1: Third and ten. You know, are they gonna try to
Speaker 1: get five yards and then go for it on fourth down? No,
Speaker 1: they set up a shot play for their quarterback, uh
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo to go deep down the field. Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: is open. He beats his guy in a huge spot
Speaker 1: where you need that first down to keep the game going.
Speaker 1: They say, no, we we see something we like, let's
Speaker 1: let Jimmy go down the field for a fifty yard touchdown.
Speaker 1: Sanders beats his guy and Jimmy doesn't give him a chance.
Speaker 1: And you know how much is not getting to the ball. Well,
Speaker 1: you overthrew him. I mean he he has the defender
Speaker 1: by a foot and a half, didn't I didn't get
Speaker 1: a good angle that showed me there was some press
Speaker 1: are on the play. But I think Jimmy Garoppolo's would
Speaker 1: say that's a throw I can make. I think to
Speaker 1: your point. By then, that's when Kansas City was starting
Speaker 1: to light him up. And that play happened sandwiched in
Speaker 1: between a batted pass. Yeah, it happened in between Kendrick
Speaker 1: Bourne and Kendall Fuller nearly picking off a pass by
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Then the one you mentioned, and then in
Speaker 1: the grasp fourth down over where he just he froze
Speaker 1: a little bit and didn't get rid of the ball
Speaker 1: on that Frank Clark fourth down sack where you gotta
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball. And so I think Jimmy
Speaker 1: G had a good season, and I think you could
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl with him because he could have
Speaker 1: won tonight. But there's gonna be questions back to me
Speaker 1: G unfortunately. Yeah, Yeah, I think that's that's just again
Speaker 1: a part of the game, and they I think Tom
Speaker 1: Brady did an interview today, I think with his boy
Speaker 1: Jim Gray. Yes he was. I did not answer your half,
Speaker 1: so I took a walk at halftime and they were
Speaker 1: playing the halftime interview you uh what, Mark, They were
Speaker 1: playing Tom Brady and Jim Gray, and Tom Brady was
Speaker 1: breaking down the game pretty good. I I enjoyed it. Well,
Speaker 1: he's basically almost retired at this point. Um Now his
Speaker 1: hair is great, so it's a very fitting um No,
Speaker 1: but they he did say that something on some levels cliche.
Speaker 1: But when Tom Brady says that there's more gravity toss
Speaker 1: to it, that that this this game, in this stage,
Speaker 1: it could change your life. And if you can make
Speaker 1: that play, if Jimmy Garoppolo converts one more first down
Speaker 1: or makes one more big play, or he most makes
Speaker 1: a guy miss. Uh, we're not talking about any of
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's it's amazing and it's cruel in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways the way sports are. But now Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan is almost like the new Andy Reid. He should
Speaker 1: be so lucky to end up like Andy Reid in
Speaker 1: twenty years, but that he's gonna be the guy. Is
Speaker 1: he gonna be able to get over the humb And
Speaker 1: now Jimmy Garoppolo, you got you got Josh Norman saying
Speaker 1: it on Sky Sports and now you're gonna have every
Speaker 1: JIBRONI on the morning talk show saying it is Jimmy
Speaker 1: g a true franchise quarterbackers game manager. Like that seems
Speaker 1: like a rough fate for Garoppolo, who I think had
Speaker 1: a really really nice season overall. It just didn't break
Speaker 1: his way in the end. And I know I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one who thought this, but from the way
Speaker 1: the game started and the way they were calling plays
Speaker 1: and how conservative they were at every point in the game,
Speaker 1: I thought, even when they had the lead, the forty
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna have to pass to win this thing.
Speaker 1: They're just gonnay were like that. You were annoyed that
Speaker 1: they were not aggressive. I mean you look at kind
Speaker 1: of the target numbers for their good receivers. Nine targets
Speaker 1: for Debot, who had a good game um running and
Speaker 1: passing for thirty nine yards. Yeah, Sanders five targets for
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. Kittle seven targets for thirty seven yards.
Speaker 1: So there's nothing downfield it. They ultimately were just a
Speaker 1: little bit limited offensively that it was kind of a uh,
Speaker 1: station the station type offense. You got George Kiddle on
Speaker 1: your team and you're not I mean, it felt like
Speaker 1: Chris Jones touched the ball more than George Kittle did.
Speaker 1: You gotta dial his number more often. Sometimes if you're
Speaker 1: George Kidd, you've been the best player on the field
Speaker 1: and games, you gotta go to the coach and said,
Speaker 1: get me the deep the damn ball. Um jumping away
Speaker 1: from the game for a second again because I just
Speaker 1: want to hit on this that I thought very cool
Speaker 1: the NFL one celebration on the field or some goose
Speaker 1: bump moments on the field. They brought out all the
Speaker 1: um living players that were selected the hundred greatest players
Speaker 1: of all time. A couple of fun moments on their
Speaker 1: uh greg both Patriot moments because you know they have
Speaker 1: such a large footprint on the game in recent years.
Speaker 1: But just seeing Gronk on the field, Guy's thirty years
Speaker 1: old and he's he's in that company. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's getting this, he's getting this applause. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: the Gronk boat cruise whatever he did this weekend, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a nice business. Belichick and Linda holiday at
Speaker 1: the Bronk boat cruise with like some wrestlers and Gronk
Speaker 1: and scantily clad women are amazing. I just don't understand
Speaker 1: how unless he really enjoyed the Gronk Spike cruise or
Speaker 1: whatever it was, how you could come on the field
Speaker 1: and if his body's cooperating, he doesn't want to come
Speaker 1: back out of the field. But you know who knows.
Speaker 1: And then Belichick he gets the he gets the hell
Speaker 1: boot out of him because you know he's Belichick. And
Speaker 1: then he flashes his rings and I think, both hands,
Speaker 1: which is just a nice job. I have to I
Speaker 1: have to show some respect and kiss the rings. And
Speaker 1: I was sitting next to Greg during that pretty amazing
Speaker 1: Belichick moment. I couldn't stand up at that moment. He
Speaker 1: has nine rings and Greg was wondering which three rings
Speaker 1: is he wearing? Like that's the level of fan dan
Speaker 1: Is is very calculated. So he I bet there was
Speaker 1: a purpose to the three that he wore, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer was. That's a nice
Speaker 1: job by Bill though, going to the the Gronk press
Speaker 1: of the Gronk red carpet. Uh, it's been This is
Speaker 1: the first time in the four years they weren't in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It seemed like Bill and Linda had
Speaker 1: a nice little time this weekend in Miami. They did.
Speaker 1: And that's a job. I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 1: want to make this anymore about the Patriots. Shouldn't be
Speaker 1: about the that just done at all. Greg. The picture
Speaker 1: of Moss didn't Terry Brady, Bellichick and Gronk. That's that's
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. That was pretty cool. Did West?
Speaker 1: Did Randy Boss flash any rings when they cut to him? No?
Speaker 1: And poor West, poor West Welker just lost. Poor West
Speaker 1: shot come from I don't know. Poor West Welker just
Speaker 1: lost another heartbreaker too as the receiver's coach of the
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Oh that's about that stuff for West. I
Speaker 1: I really felt for him because there's so many Boston
Speaker 1: sports reporters, you know, in general, covering the NFL, and
Speaker 1: they all did their little West Welker story or interviewed him,
Speaker 1: and he he did not want to be talking about
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls. Poor guy. You know, he's out here
Speaker 1: trying to make a career. Kyle Stannon believes in him
Speaker 1: as a coach. Um, we should give the Chiefs fans
Speaker 1: some some love. I want to I want to have
Speaker 1: a direct I want to share a direct quote right
Speaker 1: after the game. Um, I me and my cousin watch
Speaker 1: a little bit of the um podium riser and Andy
Speaker 1: Reid has this great moment and uh and Hunt the
Speaker 1: team owner, and it's a nice little thing. And then
Speaker 1: we're going down the ramp down to the ground level
Speaker 1: and a Chief a Chiefs fan and Ricky, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to bleep this. Uh, it's just you know, walking
Speaker 1: down the ramp talking to no one in particular. Holy,
Speaker 1: that just happened. Holy that just happened. Holy, we are
Speaker 1: world champions. And I as a dreamer, mark as a
Speaker 1: as the one of the few optimistic Jets fans that
Speaker 1: that exists in the world. Uh. It does give you
Speaker 1: a little bit of hope the fact that and the
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been a way more successful franchise over the
Speaker 1: last thirty years in the Jets of the Browns. But
Speaker 1: it is it is good to just see these these teams.
Speaker 1: The Eagles a couple of years ago got off the
Speaker 1: schneid and now the Chiefs. I know things are in
Speaker 1: a bad way, but it does remind you that these
Speaker 1: teams your number tends to get called eventually, and you
Speaker 1: just keep the faith, as these Chiefs fans did from
Speaker 1: the flip side. I mean, I look at Niners fans
Speaker 1: who are no, no, it's it's you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1: But it says not a stunner in the from the
Speaker 1: minute they had Patrick Mahomes on the field. It's not
Speaker 1: that this, it's not stunning that they're here. I mean
Speaker 1: you could feel the build up and the Niners felt
Speaker 1: that they were building up something to something too. And
Speaker 1: Niners fans, you know, if you're forty five year old
Speaker 1: Niners fan, you've had plenty of enjoyment in your life,
Speaker 1: but the past couple years have had been rough. Pre
Speaker 1: Kyl Shanahan, you had two coaches that came and went
Speaker 1: in one season. People were questioning ownership, people were questioning
Speaker 1: everything the organization was about. You get to this point,
Speaker 1: it's with fifteen minutes to go and an hour later
Speaker 1: you're questioning your reality and what's next and if you'll
Speaker 1: ever get back. I just think, like, because we live
Speaker 1: in an era to your point where the off season
Speaker 1: is going to like the last game we saw is
Speaker 1: going to generate hundreds of hours of questions and conversation.
Speaker 1: Jimmy g is suddenly someone who went from potential darling
Speaker 1: of the countryside to being now picked apart between now
Speaker 1: and next September or now until he wins a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And let's shout out to the Niners organizationally, because who
Speaker 1: got killed worse than you know, the York family and
Speaker 1: that and that whole organization during the fiasco that was
Speaker 1: the Jim tom seul A Chip Kelly run that they
Speaker 1: did and when they were even worse the decade before
Speaker 1: under the state, they were the worst team in the
Speaker 1: NFL in the mid ots. So they have built a
Speaker 1: really strong nucleus and they have the right head coach
Speaker 1: and yes, I think we're all in agreement, they have
Speaker 1: the right quarterback that can take them uh to the
Speaker 1: promised Land. But like we said early in the week,
Speaker 1: the future promises nothing. And I saw Jed York as
Speaker 1: walking through the catacombs of the former the erstwhile Joe
Speaker 1: Robbie Stadium. It's always how I I see it. They
Speaker 1: completely gotten and renovate the place and change the capacity
Speaker 1: from like eightum. I was here for the last one,
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't. It doesn't even feel remotely like totally cool,
Speaker 1: awesome stadium. It's but Jed York obviously super downtrodden. Nothing
Speaker 1: will top the catacomb, am I using the right word,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's like a layer and tunnels catacomb
Speaker 1: walking in front of uh. Kyle Shannon was in that
Speaker 1: locker room too. But Arthur Blank coming out of the
Speaker 1: locker room and his what I assumed to be his
Speaker 1: grandson falling into his arms sobbing. Nothing will beat the
Speaker 1: sadness of that. But Jed York walking away again, just
Speaker 1: the reminder of all the build up to this moment
Speaker 1: and to come out of this game empty handed. It's
Speaker 1: just such a tough pill. Organizationally, you have a knack
Speaker 1: for running into losing owners because we also sell Arthur
Speaker 1: Blank with I believe a grandchild or a child of
Speaker 1: some sorts crying in his arms after the Falcons tumbled
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Isn't that what I just said? Oh well,
Speaker 1: it's late. It's been a long week. See how it
Speaker 1: feels when I repeat something you just told that's even
Speaker 1: by like the standards of our past. It's pretty like
Speaker 1: I was looking at you, I said that to you,
Speaker 1: and then you said the same thing right back. At
Speaker 1: this point that needed to be thank you. I needed
Speaker 1: to have mentioned it again from my perspective, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: if you're if you're if you're a forty Niners fan, uh,
Speaker 1: and they you know, they have great fans. There's every
Speaker 1: reason to believe they're gonna be good. But they're also
Speaker 1: in a division with Russell Wilson, with the last year's
Speaker 1: NFC Championship champion, the Rams and Kyler Murray. To me, that's,
Speaker 1: you know, going into next year, probably the best division
Speaker 1: in football. And then you got to start all over
Speaker 1: and try to get to buy and hope you get
Speaker 1: you know, breaks like like they got this year. And
Speaker 1: I think Chiefs fans know that well, like how many
Speaker 1: breaks you need because they've been in the playoffs a lot.
Speaker 1: They were certainly close a year ago. The Red you know,
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's been in the playoffs every year since he's
Speaker 1: been there, and this is the year kind of you know,
Speaker 1: finally came together and you could just feel the enjoyment
Speaker 1: from early on, like them like really loud. This one
Speaker 1: did break through the plexiglass, you know, singing fight for
Speaker 1: your Right to Party, like the entire stadium, I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, singing Home of the Chiefs at the end
Speaker 1: of the the anthem I mean, there were moments here
Speaker 1: where it felt much more like a home atmosphere than
Speaker 1: most Super Bowls do. Like usually the entire stadium is
Speaker 1: not rocking to like their own pet song, fight for
Speaker 1: your right to party like I don't remember much of
Speaker 1: that at Super Bowls. How many middle aged white sports
Speaker 1: writers in that uh, in that booth, throat tapping their feet.
Speaker 1: No one looked up from their computer, not once. Um,
Speaker 1: let's do a little winners and losers before we get
Speaker 1: out of here. How about winner Ryan Bartlett, ore body,
Speaker 1: the producer at NFL Media. He's helped us out producing
Speaker 1: our video shows over the years. He's he's produced damage,
Speaker 1: he's done at all. Uh. He came down here with
Speaker 1: a ticket, right, so he's just in the crowd as
Speaker 1: a fan. Did any of you run into I never
Speaker 1: actually Bartlett? Uh. Ryan Bartlet again, who we talked, had
Speaker 1: a big weekend. It wasn't just he made sure he
Speaker 1: enjoyed this weekend after If you're listening to the podcast
Speaker 1: after the a C Championship win, Bartlett, who is as
Speaker 1: die hard as they come. Uh, was supposed to be
Speaker 1: back at studio Ricky something about ingest. Yeah, he would
Speaker 1: have been he would have been back in Culver City,
Speaker 1: uh taking ingest for this podcast. But there was some
Speaker 1: help that he got. He got a ticket to the game,
Speaker 1: and he had a friend here with him, and I
Speaker 1: did bump into Bartlett about a half hour before kickoff.
Speaker 1: He was feeling no pain and very excited, and uh,
Speaker 1: we're all very happy for him because I know Ryan, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been not the easiest year for him,
Speaker 1: So this is such a nice moment for him. And
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for him because he's one of the
Speaker 1: good dudes at our company. So he's a big winner,
Speaker 1: big winner. I've got Miami, not just as a super
Speaker 1: Bowl city, which is already my favorite one, but just
Speaker 1: as fantastic city period, one of the most impressive cities
Speaker 1: by Miami, Mike. It looks to me like a future
Speaker 1: the future port city, mega metropolis that maybe an ancient
Speaker 1: Mariner saw in his wildest like Caribbean fever dreams. You
Speaker 1: got sun sun dappled side skyscrapers, dancing with like clodic
Speaker 1: kloidoscope skies, and it's just a beautiful place to be in. Um.
Speaker 1: I loved it as a city people. It felt like
Speaker 1: a different country to me. This is the first it's
Speaker 1: got a culture all its own, which is awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the first I've been at where I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: the people are exotic, the languages are exotic, the food
Speaker 1: is exotic. It feels like I'm in some Caribbean major
Speaker 1: city and not in the United States. And I loved
Speaker 1: every minute of I think it's similar to that my
Speaker 1: other favorite Super Bowl city in that way in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: where it does feel like you could be nowhere else
Speaker 1: but New Orleans when you're there, and it's similar to
Speaker 1: hear it also makes you feel um, very inferior, or
Speaker 1: you know, just alert to your lack of body strength,
Speaker 1: makes you just don't say yeah, no one is walking,
Speaker 1: no one's leaving Miami and feeling great about these we have,
Speaker 1: I'm insecure everyone since we are about that we've made
Speaker 1: I'm not really even insecure. Who cares? This cover everyone's
Speaker 1: everyone's body in this city is a bang in tent.
Speaker 1: We all joked about it that it was it's an
Speaker 1: absurd city of beautiful people and I hate it. Mark
Speaker 1: Winner Winner, Well, I have a loser because I mean
Speaker 1: within the within the game, We've been through a lot
Speaker 1: of these characters from tonight, but the loser is the
Speaker 1: American Football Conference and specifically the a f C West
Speaker 1: and everyone that at this point, this reminds me of
Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers won a decade ago
Speaker 1: to kick off the two thousand Tents, because we came
Speaker 1: off of that game thinking the sky's the limit. Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers probably is a disap pointment if he doesn't go
Speaker 1: and win three or four more of these with what's
Speaker 1: around him at this time. This was a lesser game
Speaker 1: by Patrick Mahomes and it's imagine what happens if they
Speaker 1: get him clicked in in an offense just like this
Speaker 1: a year from now, where you don't get the crazy
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic turnovers and you just get him playing at high throttle,
Speaker 1: full fever dream status. The Chiefs are unstoppable. Thing about
Speaker 1: you know, less are ripped apart by free agency. Back
Speaker 1: to week five or six or whenever when happened and
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes knee is physically ripped out of place, and again, sports, dude,
Speaker 1: they're weird. If if that goes maybe six inches further
Speaker 1: or it just bends a certain way in the other direction,
Speaker 1: he's on an operating table seasons over and the title
Speaker 1: drought is fifty one or fifty two years. I mean
Speaker 1: they caught a huge break by that injury not being
Speaker 1: season ending, because at that moment it felt like it
Speaker 1: was all over. Uh. And yes, if you're in the
Speaker 1: a f C West, you're nervous that this kid who's
Speaker 1: twenty four years old now has a league m v P,
Speaker 1: a super Bowl title, two division titles, and a super
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP under his belt and he's just getting warmed up.
Speaker 1: You're worried that this is the new Tom Brady. You're right.
Speaker 1: You're only hope is that he's apathetic or board a
Speaker 1: year from sides, I've done everything he now, I mean
Speaker 1: with with the title. He mean, he's got to start that. Only,
Speaker 1: like we said, Marino and Warner, you know, have had
Speaker 1: a really warner in terms of winning, winning the super
Speaker 1: Bowl and getting an m v P. It's it's a
Speaker 1: little scary. How about a winner, Brett Veach Remember, buddy,
Speaker 1: absolutely all right, You tell me why I want to
Speaker 1: because for all the stories that came out of the
Speaker 1: Chiefs trading up from I just want to hear Greg
Speaker 1: talk like a huge trade up from like twenty six
Speaker 1: to ten, and the inspiration behind it is Brett Veach
Speaker 1: falls in love from a scouting perspective as much as
Speaker 1: a scout can fall in love with a quarterback and
Speaker 1: basically gets the entire organization to watch Patrick mahomes with
Speaker 1: Brett Beach his eye and that's why he's in Kansas.
Speaker 1: John Lando, a famous UH rock critic and producer, has
Speaker 1: an all time like rock history famous line, I've I've
Speaker 1: looked into the future. I've seen the future and a
Speaker 1: rock and roll and it's Bruce Springsteen, the nine Beach
Speaker 1: and I learned this west from your peace, which was great,
Speaker 1: and don't stop writing, keep writing one. Thank you awesome
Speaker 1: at it. Sorry, um but um he saw it, he
Speaker 1: saw it for anybody else. Before he even took a
Speaker 1: meaningful snap, he was saying, this guy is the best
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. So that's a big shout out
Speaker 1: of each had a bold you know, moved to bring
Speaker 1: in Frank Clark and get rid of d Ford, which
Speaker 1: certainly I think tonight was a night where d Ford
Speaker 1: got dominated pretty well by by Mentell. Swords came within
Speaker 1: a whisker of a couple of turnovers himself. D Ford.
Speaker 1: He almost he almost pounced on one and forced another.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a winner just for guys making some money. Uh.
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and Kendall Fuller are both free agents this offseason,
Speaker 1: and they both well, I have him, we have him
Speaker 1: in the in the rankings. Chris Jones is you know,
Speaker 1: doing a defensive version of Joe Flacco where you have
Speaker 1: a monster playoff run right before you hit free agency.
Speaker 1: Was gonna make a lot of money. Anyways, Kendall Fuller
Speaker 1: made the interception Kendall Fuller made was maybe the best
Speaker 1: play anyone made all night. The game was kind of
Speaker 1: over at that point, but that was an incredible play.
Speaker 1: And he made another huge pass breakup where he read
Speaker 1: the play before anyone else in the fourth quarter. He's
Speaker 1: been a really good player for a while. And those
Speaker 1: two guys I think will probably get paid off of
Speaker 1: this because the Brett Beach Who's who's done some good work.
Speaker 1: They have a lot of work to do. They have
Speaker 1: a ton of defensive players hit for free agency and
Speaker 1: not a lot of cap room. A winner and a loser,
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal because you know I because Greg uh picked
Speaker 1: the forty niners to win on our podcast and pick
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to win on our website. Well that the
Speaker 1: website win was folcused. I picked the forty night Actually
Speaker 1: a great job now I sent that in. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: I sent that in last week and forgot about it unfortunately,
Speaker 1: so that my pick was the forty Niners, of which
Speaker 1: I was wrong. A winner. Another winner, I would say
Speaker 1: our old friend Kevin Harland, friend of the podcast, the
Speaker 1: Green announcer, who this kind of we didn't mention this,
Speaker 1: but he won some type of award for greatest announcer
Speaker 1: in the world or something a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I happened to hear his call of the Damien
Speaker 1: Williams clinching touchdown run. Let's listen in Ricky person him
Speaker 1: a homes shaking down, ships hand off to Williams, got
Speaker 1: to block him a pullback. He's up at five thirty
Speaker 1: breaks talking on the sideline. Twenty chursy Obama start on
Speaker 1: the ten touchdown. That's it of forty a yard touchdown
Speaker 1: run by Damian Williams. One twelve per down, three touchdowns
Speaker 1: in the last five minutes of this game in the
Speaker 1: chief lead by ten thirty town. It was a bigger
Speaker 1: pro than Kevin Harland. No, I'm at the point where
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear a two or three minute highlight reel,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure you could even get to that
Speaker 1: length of plays where he flubs the call because it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to ever happen. I got a winner, guy
Speaker 1: who nearly threw his football career away, Honey Badger at
Speaker 1: l s U in college. Um, he's the story. You
Speaker 1: can you can author your own life story. He he
Speaker 1: could have gone the other way, and he said, no,
Speaker 1: I want to be committed to football. Bruce Arians drafts
Speaker 1: him the third round. He plays at an all pro level.
Speaker 1: As soon as he reaches the all pro level, tears,
Speaker 1: his a c L comes back, takes him a year
Speaker 1: or two, finally returns to the all pro level, tears
Speaker 1: his a c L again, goes to Houston and then
Speaker 1: finds a Chiefs team where he says, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: there because the priority is winning the Super Bowl. Came
Speaker 1: there to win the Super Bowl. The minute he walked
Speaker 1: in the door, Spack said, the entire culture changed. Tyron
Speaker 1: Matthew was the agent of that change. I saw spects
Speaker 1: by the way on the field. Old about twenty minutes
Speaker 1: after it ended, the Fox set up, the Fox TV
Speaker 1: set up Michael Strayhand on the dais and Spaggs goes
Speaker 1: up to stray Hand, gets his attention and they share
Speaker 1: a big hug. Because stray Hand, of course, was the
Speaker 1: pass rusher on that first title. So Spaggs is not
Speaker 1: a guy that's probably gonna get another look as a
Speaker 1: head coach, but this was a big win for him.
Speaker 1: Another big win. Mixers threw a mixer that was lit.
Speaker 1: Uh in room fourteen seventeen. Streets are talking and Ricky
Speaker 1: move your takeaway. We got all the cousins, we got
Speaker 1: the family members, we got the brothers, we got the sisters,
Speaker 1: we got the wives, we've got the friends, and I
Speaker 1: feel like the mixer it was pretty lit. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know you're a little nervous that people weren't showing.
Speaker 1: It was a little late. I couldn't stop staring at
Speaker 1: the door. My cousins, my cousins Minke and Matt were like, Danny,
Speaker 1: sure they're coming, Like they'll be here. They'll be here,
Speaker 1: they said they'd be yeah, And sure enough, we've got
Speaker 1: a nice crowd. Even handsome Hank International showed up. It's
Speaker 1: like a good tradition. It is. I feel like mixers.
Speaker 1: Next year we'll do it. Mark, you went all out, Dan,
Speaker 1: you had ice filled in the same Danny job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: part of it is hope, hopefully. You know. Another winner
Speaker 1: would be whoever booked us our hotel rooms, because you
Speaker 1: know we those are some nice rooms. I mean that
Speaker 1: room was fitting for a party. I've got I got
Speaker 1: some winners. How about Nick Shook and Kevin Patra They
Speaker 1: write for a little site called A Round the NFL.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this thing? We used to write for it.
Speaker 1: And they've been pounded out great work all week. Um,
Speaker 1: they really have been working art and putting out good
Speaker 1: stuff like shocks, working start. I haven't actually even seen
Speaker 1: Shook Kevin. I think like working less would make you
Speaker 1: a true winner. It sounds like they're just taking the
Speaker 1: room like grunts and workhorses of this, but they're putting quality.
Speaker 1: Where Kevin was at the mixer and uh, you know
Speaker 1: who's better than Kevin? I think you know He'll always
Speaker 1: be in my heart. Uh for one of the great
Speaker 1: moments in around the NFL history, which was on a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl recap show in a sad moment, but it
Speaker 1: was kind of a resolved moment. They answered all the
Speaker 1: questions without being Nobody asked me how big my piece was.
Speaker 1: That was a magical moment from Kevin Patrick back at
Speaker 1: our super Bowl in Houston, Texas. It has lived on
Speaker 1: in our memories, and the memories have even changed from
Speaker 1: the reality. I just our producer Mark Brady just took
Speaker 1: a header off the third level of Hard Rock Stadium
Speaker 1: so he can't hear what was played. Just looking at
Speaker 1: you guys like Greg, don't I know you're not gonna
Speaker 1: toot your own horn. But you're a winner. You get
Speaker 1: to walk into a press box and see people like
Speaker 1: Tyler Dragon, who you hired now a beat writer, and
Speaker 1: Gilbert Manzano another guy you hired as a beat writer,
Speaker 1: and Nick Shook. You hired all these people. Good for you,
Speaker 1: Good job for extemporaneous. All right, let's before we get
Speaker 1: out of here, let's go through the sandwich props. Because
Speaker 1: Daddy needed to win. Daddy got his win Super Bowl
Speaker 1: U m v P is Patrick Mahomes. I got three
Speaker 1: sandwiches there, which salvaged my season. Because in addition to
Speaker 1: getting the three there, I got three ws off you guys.
Speaker 1: So that's a six and oh to save my season,
Speaker 1: uh Greg spot super Bowl fifty four Deebo Samuel will
Speaker 1: have more receiving yards than uh Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. Mark,
Speaker 1: you have the stats in front of you. Was that correct?
Speaker 1: I don't believe it was close. It was not close.
Speaker 1: But he had a good name. If I had said
Speaker 1: rushing yards for a while, it was fun. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the Tyree killed me in the ends. Um total yards.
Speaker 1: Love that guy. Mark, you had a fifteen minute stoppage
Speaker 1: of play, non injury related. It just it didn't come.
Speaker 1: It didn't land, not occur. And then to come home
Speaker 1: this one in West you had George Kittle and Travis
Speaker 1: Kelsey both top one and sixteen receiving yards, which I
Speaker 1: believe is the Super Bowl tight end record. This was
Speaker 1: not a big game for either player, although Kelsey had
Speaker 1: a huge touchdown in the fourth course. I think Kyle
Speaker 1: Jannahan lost George Kittle and his couch cushions or some tonight.
Speaker 1: What happened to that guy in the last three weeks.
Speaker 1: But to correctly, pr go get my lunch. Let's just
Speaker 1: look at the overall standings for this entire campaign. We've
Speaker 1: been through coming into fourth place, Dan with twelve and
Speaker 1: fifteen spot. Yes, no, you you you did a lot
Speaker 1: to get into fourth place at of four Greg thirteen
Speaker 1: and thirteen in the third spot, West very nice, sixteen
Speaker 1: and fifteen in spot number two. Oh and then someone
Speaker 1: named Mark who was that sixteen and fourteen a top
Speaker 1: the heap? Somehow that was not the lead? Well, somehow
Speaker 1: you're somehow you're not leading. I mean, if we're gonna
Speaker 1: go like somehow I am leading to talk the whole season,
Speaker 1: we could do overall standings, which you are buried in
Speaker 1: last place. I still have a nice nicely it's ridiculous
Speaker 1: to play the game until season four that my overall
Speaker 1: record is one sixty six and one forty nine. That's
Speaker 1: how many times we've Can you possibly own horn for
Speaker 1: three minutes in this higher show is about we just
Speaker 1: said you doing it? Mark, our friends at Little Caesar's,
Speaker 1: who I don't care about any other pizza operation. If
Speaker 1: you've ever heard me talk about another pizza operation, they're terrible.
Speaker 1: The only one that matters is Little Caesar's. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, as a real corporate man, who delivered
Speaker 1: Little Caesar style Super Bowl Andy Reid he sure did.
Speaker 1: He got the w from wire to wire. This is
Speaker 1: a this is He's gonna be eating multiple Little Caesar's
Speaker 1: pizzas along with other trink He said he was gonna
Speaker 1: have some cheeseburgers, but with extra cheese. How about a
Speaker 1: little Little Caesars with some extras? May get easy and
Speaker 1: you have fun, but let's not get reckless here. Alright,
Speaker 1: guess what, guys, we did it. It's another season, another season,
Speaker 1: our seven together, I believe started this podcast in July
Speaker 1: of two thousand thirteen, and here we are now in
Speaker 1: February of two thousand twenty. Almost ended after that that
Speaker 1: Patrick comment, Um yep, oh that one, yes, but then
Speaker 1: amplifying it years later that that that could bang us
Speaker 1: in a big spot. But it was another great season
Speaker 1: and as everyone knows, if you're fans of the show, uh,
Speaker 1: we will not let up because the season's over, because,
Speaker 1: as much as it pains Mr Cessler, we now have
Speaker 1: the Combine coming up, we have free agency, we got
Speaker 1: the draft. So the season, the NFL calendar, the owners
Speaker 1: meetings moves on and we'll be tracking all of that
Speaker 1: as we do with multiple shows every week. So make
Speaker 1: sure you continue, Uh, to tune in, and also everyone
Speaker 1: that was at our live show at the Miami Improv
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. That was an excellent time. We had
Speaker 1: a great time. We got to talk to a bunch
Speaker 1: of fans after the show and we had a We
Speaker 1: had a grand time doing that. That's a nice little
Speaker 1: Super Bowl tradition now. So it was a very fun
Speaker 1: and successful UH season for the podcast. We have more
Speaker 1: people listening to us than ever before, and we are
Speaker 1: all very blessed and UH humbled quite frankly, Greg not
Speaker 1: so much, but the other three humbled. A great lively
Speaker 1: crowd at the live show. They were into it from
Speaker 1: the from the minute we started and carried it all
Speaker 1: the way through. All Right, that's it, and my cousin
Speaker 1: Mike want to let you know that I love you
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking of your buddy. All right, let's head back.
