Speaker 1: the Philippines. So that includes all of our international listeners

37
00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: this time around. So what I did was I got

38
00:01:57,080 –> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: a bit creative. I started in London and in Costa Rica,

39
00:02:01,960 –> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and I went to all the different locations along the way.

40
00:02:04,760 –> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Just on a little calculator figuring out how many miles

41
00:02:07,240 –> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: we were covering here. Twenty two thousand, five hundred and

42
00:02:10,760 –> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: fifty eight nautical miles. It’s pretty good. It’s the magic

43
00:02:14,160 –> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: of the Defending the Kingdom podcast. Yeah, bringing the Kingdom

44
00:02:17,240 –> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: to the world. Now, Monday Night Football. This as interesting

45
00:02:19,560 –> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: as you read through our list of worldwide viewers and listeners.

46
00:02:24,200 –> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. Now, who’s our galer guy in the Philippines? Dnny,

47
00:02:28,280 –> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: you realize that will be Tuesday morning football in the Philippines.

48
00:02:31,440 –> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: I’m trying to think the international date line here. For

49
00:02:34,160 –> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: our fans in Hawaii and like Guam, it’ll be like

50
00:02:37,880 –> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon football for those folks, it’ll be Tuesday morning football. Yeah. Well,

51
00:02:42,960 –> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: in my concept here, we talk about doing like a

52
00:02:44,840 –> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: road tour. We can get an RV with like James

53
00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: Bond style aquatic functions and just you know, go on

54
00:02:51,400 –> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: the ocean floor and go all over the world. I

55
00:02:53,760 –> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: think it’d be great maybe next year. I love it

56
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: brought to you by three sixty five, So I love

57
00:02:59,080 –> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: that Joe Underground to be a long trip through the

58
00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: Atlantic though, Yeah, but it’s worth it. Yeah, just want

59
00:03:03,680 –> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: just pop out unlike the shore of Spain, like we

60
00:03:07,840 –> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: just putting hammered down, putting hammered down shop. I’ll be

61
00:03:11,120 –> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: on the top of it. We’re gonna have obviously having

62
00:03:14,240 –> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: some fun with this edition of Defending the Kingdom. But

63
00:03:17,240 –> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: when you look at Monday night football, I think for

64
00:03:20,160 –> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: the three of us and people. Now I’ve talked about

65
00:03:22,880 –> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night football being like the Premier evening, there is

66
00:03:26,120 –> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: still a mystique of Monday night football. I’ve been on

67
00:03:28,120 –> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: shows all this week and they go, hey, is it

68
00:03:29,639 –> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: the same? I said, Honestly, when you drive up to

69
00:03:33,120 –> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: the stadium for that game, you feel like it’s something special. Still,

70
00:03:37,760 –> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: So let’s jump into our Monday night football. I’m gonna

71
00:03:39,960 –> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: bring back some chief moments in the impact of those

72
00:03:43,560 –> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: moments and Monday night football at Gha Field, the Arrowhead Stadium.

73
00:03:46,720 –> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: But let’s just take a shot here and your initial

74
00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: thoughts of Monday night football. It’s meaning in it’s memories. Yeah, well,

75
00:03:54,520 –> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: we’ll talk about all the memories here as the show

76
00:03:56,440 –> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: goes on, but think about the chief situation right now.

77
00:03:59,360 –> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: We’re three or need a spark, right, this isn’t the

78
00:04:02,040 –> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: start we expected. What better way to get a spark

79
00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: than to have a packed house, the energy, the excitement

80
00:04:08,360 –> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: of Geha Field, the Arrowhead Stadium, the fans willing us

81
00:04:12,000 –> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: to a victory, hopefully on Monday Night football. And we’ve

82
00:04:15,240 –> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: seen the magic and the incredible moments that have happened

83
00:04:17,960 –> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: here at home over the years on Monday Night football.

84
00:04:20,640 –> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: And to have that opportunity here when we really need

85
00:04:23,080 –> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: a spark, we need something to get this team going,

86
00:04:24,720 –> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: because this team feeds off that energy. We know that,

87
00:04:27,320 –> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: and it’s a great opportunity here to get back on track.

88
00:04:29,320 –> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: I think, shup, let’s go. Let’s go Monday Night for

89
00:04:34,640 –> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: the Monday nights still have a Monday Night is Monday Night, Baby,

90
00:04:38,440 –> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: you can’t wait for the show. You’re the only show

91
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: in town as a player all week in long you know,

92
00:04:42,800 –> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: as others thirty two teams in the league. You know,

93
00:04:45,360 –> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Thursday nights in the middle of the week, people have

94
00:04:47,320 –> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: not really got their football mojo going. And then Sunday

95
00:04:50,760 –> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: hits and it’s just game after games, a long day.

96
00:04:53,360 –> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Then we talked about Sunday Night. You know, it’s one

97
00:04:55,680 –> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: game’s premiere, but all the players are still recovering from

98
00:04:58,839 –> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: the game they’re not really watching. But Monday, that’s victory Monday.

99
00:05:03,080 –> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: That’s a day off. That’s gone to work early. Everybody,

100
00:05:06,760 –> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: all your peers, all your friends, all your family, everybody

101
00:05:10,720 –> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: is watching Monday Night football. That’s the best of the best.

102
00:05:14,320 –> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: That’s when the stars come out and shine the brightest.

103
00:05:17,920 –> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: And it’s happened at Gha Fieldaderhood Stadium. I got four games.

104
00:05:21,080 –> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: I’m gonna touch on one and then we’re gonna go

105
00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: around the horn here but one. It’s actually when the

106
00:05:25,839 –> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: aura of Arrowheads started and gha Fieldaderhood Stadium considered the

107
00:05:30,800 –> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: loudest stadium in professional sports, which helped still have the

108
00:05:33,760 –> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: record from the Guinness Book of World Records. But really

109
00:05:36,680 –> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the birth of all of that was in nineteen ninety

110
00:05:40,200 –> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: one on Monday Night Football. Now, the Buffalo Bills were

111
00:05:42,520 –> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the deal. Remember they went to four straight Super Bowls. Yeah,

112
00:05:45,400 –> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: this was the first of for them. It had been

113
00:05:48,480 –> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: ninety This is going to be their second run of

114
00:05:50,680 –> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: a four year time going to the Super Bowl. Jim

115
00:05:53,480 –> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Kelly was the deal. They were running the no huddle

116
00:05:55,839 –> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: offense before anybody was doing it, and they got obliterated

117
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: h Field that Arrowheads Stadium. They couldn’t hear the calls,

118
00:06:03,360 –> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh they’re gonna run on. That’s when like the silent count,

119
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: lets lift the leg or whatever. When you look at

120
00:06:08,240 –> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: this game was October the seventh, nineteen ninety one. First

121
00:06:11,160 –> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: of all, by the way, everybody remembers the touchdown catch

122
00:06:13,600 –> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: by Pete Holahan of the Chiefs. Like Pete holahand like

123
00:06:17,240 –> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: he played in the league twelve years one year with

124
00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had two touchdowns, this was one of them.

125
00:06:21,240 –> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: But they do remember the four sacks by the late

126
00:06:23,720 –> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: Derek Thomas. They do remember two sacks by Bill Moss,

127
00:06:27,600 –> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Neil Smith just tormenting Jim Kelly. And the stadium was

128
00:06:31,279 –> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: so loud that night. It’s really never been the same

129
00:06:35,320 –> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: since then. And what we love and know about being loud.

130
00:06:38,440 –> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: You talk about the crowd have an effect on Monday

131
00:06:40,160 –> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Night’s game against the Giants. Really started on a Monday

132
00:06:43,160 –> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: night football game back in nineteen ninety one. Yeah, that’s awesome.

133
00:06:46,120 –> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: And I think about when Kansas City became Kansas City

134
00:06:49,800 –> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: in terms of a football town. I always think about

135
00:06:52,160 –> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos game where John Elway couldn’t hear. But what

136
00:06:54,279 –> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: you’re talking about that truly was the birth of it

137
00:06:56,240 –> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: and What I love about being a Chiefs fan and

138
00:06:58,240 –> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the culture in Kansas City is it’s a learned thing.

139
00:07:01,760 –> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: So I wasn’t alive in nineteen ninety one, but when

140
00:07:04,320 –> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: I went to my first Chiefs game in two thousand

141
00:07:06,320 –> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: and three, I believe I knew that I was supposed

142
00:07:08,240 –> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: to be loud the entire time. I knew that that’s

143
00:07:10,360 –> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: what you do as a Chiefs fan, right, And that’s

144
00:07:12,040 –> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: because it was taught behavior. And I think it’s cool

145
00:07:13,960 –> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: that that’s passed down through the generations here in Kansas

146
00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: City’s just part of who we are. And you’re right,

147
00:07:18,320 –> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: it began back then, in nineteen ninety one on Monday

148
00:07:20,400 –> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: night football. It started that night, So Monday night football

149
00:07:22,960 –> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: memory also had a meaning that still continues to this

150
00:07:26,000 –> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: day three decades later. Now you did some research, we

151
00:07:30,280 –> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, into Shop. We’re gonna chop these up. Okay,

152
00:07:33,760 –> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: all right, and let’s chop it up with Shop and

153
00:07:36,400 –> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: chop these games up. Oh my gosh. In your career, Shop,

154
00:07:41,080 –> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: your Monday night football performances were some of your best, Matt,

155
00:07:43,800 –> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: You’ve found some gold here. So Shop texted me a

156
00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: while back and he said, can you help me find

157
00:07:47,880 –> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: out what games I played on Monday Night Football, and

158
00:07:50,440 –> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, let’s find out. So it’s been

159
00:07:52,280 –> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: about an hour figuring this stuff out, and we decided

160
00:07:55,200 –> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: that Shop is mister Monday Night Football. That’s who he is.

161
00:07:57,440 –> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: He’s mister Monday Night. There’s a couple of games here

162
00:08:00,800 –> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: when he was with the Washington football team back in

163
00:08:03,080 –> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. It was September twenty fourth, two

164
00:08:05,320 –> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: thousand and one. He had twelve tackles, nine solo, and

165
00:08:09,600 –> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: two tackles for loss. I’m not gonna mention the part

166
00:08:12,240 –> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: where the football team lost thirty seven to nothing, but

167
00:08:15,240 –> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: Shop had a great game. That’s not a factor. It’s

168
00:08:18,640 –> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: what do you remember about that game? Shop? And I

169
00:08:21,080 –> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: remember making a lot of tackles. Obviously, the score I

170
00:08:24,120 –> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: was I’m a little punch drunk for the score. I

171
00:08:26,120 –> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: didn’t think I was held score it. You know what,

172
00:08:28,200 –> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: when I looking back in my season, I don’t remember

173
00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: our team being held without a point, and so I was.

174
00:08:34,960 –> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: I was a little bit astonished myself to see that

175
00:08:36,880 –> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: thirty seven zero. But then I realized Green Bay Packers,

176
00:08:39,800 –> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: it was probably Brett Farve. That team was going to

177
00:08:43,360 –> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl every other year. Yeah, they probably came

178
00:08:47,559 –> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: at Green Bay, they lit it up on us. We

179
00:08:50,679 –> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: went to Green Bay, we went to lambeau Field, and

180
00:08:53,040 –> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: we got our butts kicked, and we realized that era

181
00:08:56,080 –> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: of lambeau Field. We knew understood when we were leaving

182
00:08:58,920 –> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: what that was all about. But I think I got

183
00:09:00,720 –> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: I got the best of a lot of guys on

184
00:09:02,080 –> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: the field. Obviously with the twelve tackles, I let them

185
00:09:05,200 –> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: know that. You know, Barbershop was ain’t gonna take none

186
00:09:07,559 –> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: from nobody. Now. Of course, he did have another good

187
00:09:10,240 –> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: game where his team one, and this was with the

188
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs in two thousand and three. Great year started nine

189
00:09:14,559 –> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: and oh that year. Uh this was October twentieth of

190
00:09:17,360 –> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, so week seven, so that’s part

191
00:09:19,640 –> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: of the nine and oh start. The Chiefs won this

192
00:09:21,760 –> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: game over the Oakland Raiders at the black Hole, seventeen

193
00:09:24,720 –> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: to ten. You had eight solo tackles nine total in

194
00:09:28,640 –> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: two sacks in that game. I believe it would have

195
00:09:30,400 –> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: been rich Cannon, right, Yes, it would have been rich

196
00:09:33,720 –> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: Gannon in a No. One or this is our three?

197
00:09:35,960 –> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Oh there’s so three. Yeah, it would have been rich

198
00:09:37,440 –> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: Cannon because they were just coming off the Super Bowl

199
00:09:39,360 –> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: and yeah, exactly. So there we got two sacks, helped

200
00:09:41,480 –> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs get a big victory over rich Gannon and

201
00:09:43,320 –> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Cannon also had his career kind of

202
00:09:45,880 –> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: ended by shop did it not? Almost? Yeah? Uh, you know,

203
00:09:49,160 –> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: we call it a week Willie Lina Willie linebacker blitz

204
00:09:53,160 –> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: off the age and we had we had a system

205
00:09:55,640 –> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: where me and the other linebacker could go, you me

206
00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: or you one of us gon come one of us

207
00:10:00,960 –> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: drops And so what we used to do is wait

208
00:10:02,960 –> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: for the protection to be set, and then when they

209
00:10:05,480 –> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: slidded protection to the wrong person, me and him go,

210
00:10:09,080 –> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: we switch it up on him and another guy comes.

211
00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: So we had to protection set to the left side.

212
00:10:13,480 –> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: They thought they had to slid left, and right before

213
00:10:15,320 –> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: the end we called to switch a rule on him.

214
00:10:17,520 –> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: I came off that right edge, blind sat tight end,

215
00:10:20,640 –> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: never checked in. He went ahead and released. It was

216
00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: too late. I got all up on this show to

217
00:10:24,960 –> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: hit him. I think that was the last actual pass

218
00:10:27,920 –> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: thrown by again, and I think he had to have

219
00:10:30,080 –> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: some kind of surgeon on the should And he came

220
00:10:32,120 –> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: back the next season but never completed a pass. Yeah,

221
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: so you’re thinking, hey, pick that other protection. Pick him

222
00:10:38,000 –> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: up so I can go. But let’s talk about your

223
00:10:40,280 –> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: Monday night experiences, because you mentioned how special it is.

224
00:10:42,640 –> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: But let’s just take those two games and what’s you

225
00:10:44,320 –> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: remember of it getting ready to play those games and

226
00:10:48,040 –> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: then setting there. I mean, you’re taping up, you’ve gone

227
00:10:50,280 –> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: through warm ups, and you’re like, this is Monday night football.

228
00:10:53,480 –> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: Let’s just go back in time and relive that, because

229
00:10:56,640 –> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: I do think Monday night football has a special place.

230
00:10:58,760 –> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: Oh it always does. And what I say about the

231
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: atmosphere and the attitude you have on Monday night, it

232
00:11:04,240 –> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: is unlike any other day of the week because even

233
00:11:06,800 –> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday, you try, you try to deny it, but

234
00:11:10,120 –> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: you are concerned about your conditioning. You’re like, man, we

235
00:11:12,640 –> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: just had a game on Sunday, short week. Hopefully we

236
00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: don’t change a lot of things on defense, we just

237
00:11:18,000 –> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: keep things going. We’re gonna try to be more physical

238
00:11:20,280 –> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: than the offense. We’re gonna out hit them, out punch

239
00:11:22,559 –> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: and be more aggressive and hopefully get out of here

240
00:11:24,559 –> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: with a win. Right on a short week. Sunday games,

241
00:11:27,480 –> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: it’s the normal, right noon three o’clock. You’re used to those,

242
00:11:30,640 –> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: and even when you play Sunday night because there’s other

243
00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: games on. It takes your focus away. You’re still kind

244
00:11:36,840 –> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: of cheating looking at other games being played, who else

245
00:11:39,559 –> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: in your division, who’s winning? Who losing? Until about four

246
00:11:42,120 –> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: hours before the game time, and then you’re getting your

247
00:11:44,040 –> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: mind right, you’re getting taped up. But on Monday, nothing

248
00:11:47,480 –> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: all day right, just the piece of mind of knowing

249
00:11:51,559 –> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: sometime around seven pm Central, you’re about the god didn’t

250
00:11:54,720 –> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: kick the ball off and kick somebody’s butt, And so

251
00:11:57,080 –> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: all day long you have nothing on your mind but

252
00:11:59,440 –> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: your checks. The adjustments, right, that shifts the motions. How

253
00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: are you gonna when they go spread? Are we gonna

254
00:12:06,240 –> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: blitz it? They go to a roundo three? Tight ends?

255
00:12:09,840 –> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Go line? What we’re gonna do? All the adjustments is

256
00:12:12,080 –> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: constantly float through your mind all day long, and so

257
00:12:15,280 –> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: you talk about a game that you’re actually prepared, ultimately

258
00:12:19,320 –> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: the most you’ve ever been on any game during the week.

259
00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: It’s Monday night football, and it’s like sometimes it never

260
00:12:25,880 –> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: gets here. If you’re like nine o’clock Monday morning, you’re going, man,

261
00:12:28,679 –> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: when this game gonna get here? And you’ve been on

262
00:12:30,720 –> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the center stage on Monday Night, you knew you had

263
00:12:32,320 –> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: to be those guys you played against in college like

264
00:12:34,040 –> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: some Villanova guy or main guy, like dude that’s barbershop

265
00:12:38,120 –> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: like barbershops out there playing for the Washington football team

266
00:12:41,280 –> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs or the Eagles. A second Monday Night

267
00:12:44,000 –> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: football memory for the Chiefs and had meaning was a

268
00:12:47,400 –> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: walk off punt return by Tomorrow van Over. It was

269
00:12:50,160 –> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five against the Chargers. Now let’s keep

270
00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: in mind the Chargers were good then. They had just

271
00:12:55,840 –> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: gone to the Super Bowl the year before and lost

272
00:12:58,000 –> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: to the forty nine Ers. They’re rolling into the new season,

273
00:13:00,520 –> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harman, I mean, there’s some good dudes, and they

274
00:13:04,280 –> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: go to overtime and they punted tomarrowk Vanover who runs

275
00:13:07,440 –> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: it into the end zone from eighty six yards out

276
00:13:09,480 –> 00:13:13,239
Speaker 1: for a walk off Monday night football punt return. Now, personally,

277
00:13:13,840 –> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: this was my second year in my brief twenty eight

278
00:13:16,400 –> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: years as being the voice of the Chiefs. You won’t

279
00:13:18,960 –> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: hear that call. You’re van Over angling to his left

280
00:13:21,840 –> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: hand because Dan Israel, our incredible executive producer, was trying

281
00:13:27,320 –> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: to fix the sound. He was trying to mix the sound,

282
00:13:30,120 –> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: and this was so loud. They can think of this

283
00:13:32,800 –> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: like one of the loudest moments ever in Chiefs history.

284
00:13:36,480 –> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: He pots me down. So it’s just drowned you out,

285
00:13:40,400 –> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: just drowned me out. They go, and so people do

286
00:13:43,160 –> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: this day. I’ve said the crowd was so loud you

287
00:13:45,040 –> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: couldn’t even hear the play by play announcer. Well, a

288
00:13:47,600 –> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: little more to that story, but the point is that

289
00:13:49,640 –> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: led to a thirteen and three season. These are games

290
00:13:52,480 –> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: games are in October, now, these weren’t in December, and

291
00:13:55,080 –> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: that led to a season, really the best chief season

292
00:13:58,040 –> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: in the regular season they had since the Super Bowl

293
00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: year of nineteen seventy. So again, another walk off, eighty

294
00:14:03,840 –> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: six yard punt return on Monday Night football. And that’s

295
00:14:06,000 –> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: a good example of the spark that we’re looking for here, right,

296
00:14:08,440 –> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: because that was a spark kind of game that helped

297
00:14:10,160 –> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: really get that season going back then in nineteen ninety five.

298
00:14:13,120 –> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: I was a brisk two years old when that game occurred,

299
00:14:15,679 –> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: so I can’t say I recall it, but I understand

300
00:14:17,920 –> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: the vibe because football hasn’t changed a whole lot in

301
00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: terms of momentum since then, and that’s what we need

302
00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: here in this game. So that’s why I wouldn’t mind

303
00:14:24,040 –> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: seeing a big explosive Tyreek Hill play here in this

304
00:14:26,960 –> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: one to really get people go and get our mojo back,

305
00:14:29,320 –> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: just like that happened back for Van Over and that

306
00:14:30,920 –> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: ninety five team. Yeah, maybe a Hardman punt return or

307
00:14:33,600 –> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: a Pringle kickoffer. And the memory that brings up to

308
00:14:36,160 –> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: me is how important all three phases are. Because we

309
00:14:39,200 –> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: always talk about offense and defense. Offense and defense, right,

310
00:14:41,880 –> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: how important is the offense to go score and defense

311
00:14:44,160 –> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: keep them scoring? But the change of the field position,

312
00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: those big gaps of yardages ate up by special teams.

313
00:14:52,120 –> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: And when I had a chance to play during the league,

314
00:14:53,840 –> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean I took so much pride and special teams

315
00:14:55,920 –> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: play we called to me in the tip of the spear.

316
00:14:58,600 –> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Tip of the spear is something that is gonna be

317
00:14:59,920 –> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: to first thing that you feel, and then it should

318
00:15:02,000 –> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: be the last thing. It really ends your day when

319
00:15:04,360 –> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: it comes to all three phases playing together, and that’s

320
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: what we’re really looking for. We’re looking for a complete

321
00:15:09,960 –> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: game from the Arkansas City Chiefs team to play offensively, defensively,

322
00:15:13,680 –> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: and special teams all at a high level. That’s an

323
00:15:16,720 –> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: excellent point because when you think when the Chiefs are

324
00:15:18,720 –> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: playing their best football, it’s when They’re putting pressure on

325
00:15:22,200 –> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: the opponent in every way, shape or form. Think at

326
00:15:25,200 –> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: the end of Super Bowl fifty four, San Francisco felt

327
00:15:28,160 –> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: pressure from the Chiefs defense, from the offense, and from

328
00:15:31,880 –> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: special teams. Those two kickoff team coverage plays one by

329
00:15:34,960 –> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: Pringle and one by Nieman or well off forgotten but

330
00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: special teams when the Chiefs are at their best, and

331
00:15:41,400 –> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: to get cranked up again this season to get it

332
00:15:43,240 –> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: turned around. Man, I have a feeling shop has got

333
00:15:45,920 –> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: a great point here, shift the pressure to the opponent.

334
00:15:49,560 –> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like the Chiefs have felt the

335
00:15:51,160 –> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: pressure all year. Yeah, when is the just shifted? You

336
00:15:54,680 –> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: shifted and take the hammer, turn the cannon on the

337
00:15:57,240 –> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: opponent here, and I think this Monday night game might

338
00:16:00,280 –> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: be the week they can try that started. Yeah, Ever

339
00:16:02,520 –> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: since coach Read got here, even before the Patrick Mahomes

340
00:16:05,080 –> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: era began, and particularly once that got started, it’s always

341
00:16:08,600 –> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: been about putting pressure on the opponent. Where the Chiefs

342
00:16:11,280 –> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: do not commit things that are going to hurt themselves.

343
00:16:14,840 –> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: They basically play perfect football and force the opponent into mistakes,

344
00:16:19,360 –> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: and the opponent all of a sudden feels like they

345
00:16:21,080 –> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: have to play perfect football and that’s difficult to do,

346
00:16:23,240 –> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: and they get in their own head, they cause a

347
00:16:24,920 –> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: creative mistakes, and all of a sudden, they’re they’re losing

348
00:16:27,040 –> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: the football game. That’s been the Chiefs mantra for years.

349
00:16:29,840 –> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: It really hasn’t been that way so far this year,

350
00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: say for maybe the Cleveland game, And we need to

351
00:16:34,720 –> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: get back to that, playing well in all three phases,

352
00:16:36,920 –> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: playing opportunistic football and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes,

353
00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: not us making the mistakes. That’s why the turnovers the

354
00:16:43,160 –> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: season have been so uncharacteristic of this team, and we’re

355
00:16:45,760 –> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of wondering, like, this isn’t Chiefs football. We’re not

356
00:16:47,760 –> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: used to seeing this, and it’s the kind of the

357
00:16:49,000 –> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: same guys that we’ve had over the years. That’s why

358
00:16:51,120 –> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: it’s so strange. But that also gives me confidence that

359
00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: they can figure it out because it is only October

360
00:16:56,160 –> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: and these are the kind of mistakes that this team

361
00:16:58,040 –> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: just doesn’t make. And yeah, great opportunity here against the

362
00:17:00,520 –> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: Giants to put our foot down and say, wait, let’s

363
00:17:02,960 –> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: start playing Chiefs football again, because we know Chiefs football

364
00:17:05,480 –> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: works and we know that these guys can play Chiefs football.

365
00:17:07,920 –> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Just need to get back to that. Yeah, you can

366
00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: sense it where you’re Here’s my point. You’re either Wiley

367
00:17:13,280 –> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: the kyout or you’re the roadrunner right now, who feels

368
00:17:16,160 –> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: the pressure Wiley Coyote, He’s like, I think I got him,

369
00:17:18,880 –> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: but there’s somewhere as an anvil over my head or

370
00:17:20,720 –> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: some box of acne dynamite read to blow up. The

371
00:17:23,520 –> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Roadrunner is confident he’s always going to take the pressure

372
00:17:26,480 –> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: to Wiley the Kyout. So I say that flippantly, but honestly,

373
00:17:31,520 –> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: if this team can figure out a way shop to

374
00:17:34,440 –> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: shift the pressure in all three phases, now you’re thinking

375
00:17:37,720 –> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: they might block our punt, meaning the opponent, or they

376
00:17:41,040 –> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: might return it, or hey, they might go they’re not

377
00:17:44,359 –> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: going to turn it over in a four team play

378
00:17:45,880 –> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: drive and get a touchdown. And the defense, instead of

379
00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: being maybe on its heels, has a little more Roadrunner

380
00:17:51,560 –> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: and a little less Wiley Coyout always and it’s effective

381
00:17:54,840 –> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: as our offense has been throughout the Andy we era

382
00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: here because we can scool three or seven almost eighty

383
00:18:01,880 –> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: percent of our possessions when we turn the ball over.

384
00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: It’s not just a missing of a three point or

385
00:18:07,320 –> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: seven points, because then on when they score, that’s almost

386
00:18:10,640 –> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: that’s a ten or fourteen point swing. Every turnover becomes

387
00:18:14,440 –> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: almost a ten or fourteen point swing. And when you

388
00:18:17,119 –> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: think about that, when it comes to the end of

389
00:18:18,560 –> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: the game and it’s a one possession, you know, Pat

390
00:18:21,080 –> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: has been amazing in these one possession games his entire career.

391
00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: But there’s not many chances, not many games that you

392
00:18:26,840 –> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: look back and say, we were out of it at

393
00:18:28,359 –> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: the end. But when you make these vast pendulum swings

394
00:18:31,480 –> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: from momentum and talkers a sudden change, it’s so hard

395
00:18:35,040 –> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: for a defense wrapped a mind around that. And Andy

396
00:18:37,560 –> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: and whoever it has been the defense coordinated here has

397
00:18:39,640 –> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: been so great of training these guys to realize, like

398
00:18:42,560 –> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: you’re saying, put the pressure on them, make them feel

399
00:18:45,080 –> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: the pressure. We’re gonna go out and this play our

400
00:18:46,840 –> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: style of ball, and all we gotta do is get

401
00:18:48,720 –> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: back to that. And I think that’s one thing I

402
00:18:50,880 –> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: you hear it on the sideline. Just be who we are.

403
00:18:53,320 –> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: Let’s continue to be who we are. Have confidence, play

404
00:18:55,760 –> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: with a lot of swag or a lot of ego,

405
00:18:57,720 –> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: but you don’t. No one has to put on a

406
00:19:00,160 –> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: man kate. There is no no savior coming in the

407
00:19:02,400 –> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: Tanle so I’m looking for the waiver wire. There is

408
00:19:05,200 –> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: nobody coming to the Kingdom saved. We are. We got

409
00:19:07,800 –> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: who we need to go win, because that’s all we

410
00:19:09,800 –> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: ever need. Guys got to just start playing like they

411
00:19:12,119 –> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: know they can play, and stop playing meet him so

412
00:19:14,560 –> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: much pressure on himself to be to be perfect. Go

413
00:19:17,160 –> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: out there and play. You play your game. And I

414
00:19:19,119 –> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: have one point to add to that, talking about the

415
00:19:20,880 –> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense here specifically, so including last week’s game against Tennessee,

416
00:19:24,840 –> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: where the offense scored three points, right, very uncharacteristic of

417
00:19:27,560 –> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: this team, just three points. The offense this season still

418
00:19:30,320 –> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: ranks eighth and points per game fourth, and yards per play,

419
00:19:33,680 –> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: second in passing yards, second in plays of ten or

420
00:19:36,200 –> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: more yards, and leads the league in first downs, third

421
00:19:39,240 –> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: down conversion rate, and ten play drives. That is all

422
00:19:42,560 –> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: while also turning the ball over on twenty five percent

423
00:19:45,640 –> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: of possessions. So if they can just cut that down,

424
00:19:48,680 –> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: get back to Chief’s football where they’re not turning the

425
00:19:50,880 –> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: ball over three or four times a game, the offense

426
00:19:53,359 –> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: is going to take off and you’re going to see

427
00:19:54,800 –> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: the defense playing with more confidence because of that, and

428
00:19:56,760 –> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: this team is going to find some success if you

429
00:19:58,640 –> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: look at completion percent yards per play, the Chiefs are

430
00:20:02,520 –> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: still where they’ve been, even better in some circumstances. But

431
00:20:06,840 –> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: you’re right, the turnovers just negate all that do They

432
00:20:08,960 –> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: still have like STP motor oil somewhere Sometimes some small

433
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: towns is a big deal. Man sixty six place there’s

434
00:20:16,960 –> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: sixty six like in Galena, Kansas, root sixty six there

435
00:20:20,359 –> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: is an STP motor oil there. And the reason I

436
00:20:22,480 –> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: say that is STP shift the pressure. We might have

437
00:20:25,640 –> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: to have a whole Chiefs Kingdom show on that are

438
00:20:27,960 –> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: in defending the kingdom, show on shift the pressure STP.

439
00:20:31,160 –> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Here’s the third Monday night game that comes to mind,

440
00:20:33,920 –> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: and it shows you the Monday night magic. Sometimes if

441
00:20:37,440 –> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: gha field at Arrowheads Stadium twenty eleven, the Chargers are good.

442
00:20:40,960 –> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: They’re good again. Here they are. Remember they’d plessed played

443
00:20:43,440 –> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: the a FC championship game. Rivers is kind of on fire.

444
00:20:45,600 –> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: He’s winning everybody’s fantasy league. They’re driving down. They’re in

445
00:20:49,119 –> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: prime position to win the game winning field goal. All

446
00:20:52,320 –> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: they need to do is kneel down. It’s the kneel

447
00:20:54,320 –> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: down victory formation. They fumble the center to quarterback exchange.

448
00:20:59,400 –> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: They fumble. Now it wasn’t herm Edwards miracle on the meadowland,

449
00:21:02,800 –> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: but it was Studebaker’s moment. He jumps on the ball,

450
00:21:06,320 –> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: gets a turnover. The Chiefs in overtime then go down

451
00:21:09,359 –> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: and win it on a Ryan suck Up field goal.

452
00:21:11,720 –> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: But that was a night. I know fans, and there’s

453
00:21:14,080 –> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: some of you are listening to this podcast and you

454
00:21:16,200 –> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: know who you are and watching at that left the

455
00:21:18,359 –> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: stadium going to this is dad, this is over, and

456
00:21:20,240 –> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: then they hear the roar of the crowd and they go,

457
00:21:22,240 –> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I missed it. But there are some

458
00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: magical things that happened, some weird things on Monday night football.

459
00:21:29,880 –> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: And that was Halloween night, by the way, twenty eleven.

460
00:21:33,560 –> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: And the three words that came out of Philip Rivers

461
00:21:36,800 –> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: mouth as the camera was on him was worst night,

462
00:21:39,920 –> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: worst night ever. And I can finally add some commentary

463
00:21:42,000 –> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: on this game because not only was I alive, I

464
00:21:43,840 –> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: was there. I was there. And I’ll also add with

465
00:21:47,080 –> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: the current wife for with those girlfriends, all this is

466
00:21:49,359 –> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: way before any of that. I think a single guy

467
00:21:51,320 –> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: sophomore in college, I think and drove to the game

468
00:21:53,560 –> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs were trying to make a wrong We

469
00:21:55,480 –> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: started off slow and we’re trying to make a run.

470
00:21:57,480 –> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: And it was a big Monday night football game. And

471
00:21:59,359 –> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: I’ll add to that, Lenny Dawson did a little promo

472
00:22:02,160 –> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: for ESPN that was awesome in that game. It’s hard

473
00:22:05,040 –> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: to find it. If you find it on YouTube, it

474
00:22:06,320 –> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: was really awesome. Got me fired up after the fact

475
00:22:08,119 –> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: after the Chiefs won that game. But what I remember

476
00:22:09,960 –> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: about that game is I was one of the fans

477
00:22:11,960 –> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: that stayed and I was way up in the upper

478
00:22:13,720 –> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: deck because those are like my people, like I’d always

479
00:22:15,840 –> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: be up in the upper deck. I loved it up there.

480
00:22:17,560 –> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: And yeah, the Chargers are driving down the field. It

481
00:22:20,760 –> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: feels hopeless because they’re in field goal range. They’d been

482
00:22:24,640 –> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: running the ball and all they had to do was

483
00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: kneel it and kick a field goal and they’d win

484
00:22:28,480 –> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: the game. And all this momentum that we felt like

485
00:22:30,440 –> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: we’re trying to build and come back from the early

486
00:22:32,160 –> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: struggles in the season, it felt like it was over.

487
00:22:34,920 –> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: But I just kept being loud. I remember this distinctly

488
00:22:37,880 –> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: because I kept doing the thing where I’m just like, oh,

489
00:22:39,800 –> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, trying to scream and yell because what else

490
00:22:41,640 –> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: am I going to do? You know, like, I’m just

491
00:22:43,080 –> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: trying to have my impact here because I want to

492
00:22:46,160 –> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: see the Chiefs win and they’re they’re trying their best

493
00:22:48,320 –> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: and it’s not working out. And the people that are

494
00:22:50,400 –> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: still there are trying to be loud, myself included Philip

495
00:22:53,240 –> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: Rivers fumbles the football stude to Baker comes out with it,

496
00:22:55,359 –> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: he can’t even believe it, and the Chiefs win that game.

497
00:22:57,680 –> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: It was one of my favorite memories from going to

498
00:23:00,040 –> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: a game here at eh Field, the Arrowhead Stadium. It

499
00:23:02,160 –> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: was awesome. And Shop leave it to a linebacker, leave

500
00:23:04,800 –> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: it to Studebaker, who’s a friend of yours, to come

501
00:23:07,200 –> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: out of that pile with the ball man. Andy is

502
00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: the man if he’s If anything about Andy is the

503
00:23:12,600 –> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: way he played emphasized, and it was a true appreciation

504
00:23:18,440 –> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: of the game. He appreciated every single moment on that field,

505
00:23:23,359 –> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: every snap. It didn’t matter if it was practice, in

506
00:23:25,720 –> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: the game, it wasn’t matter video games. He was an

507
00:23:28,200 –> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: ultimate competitor and everything he did and that’s why he’s

508
00:23:31,080 –> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: been successful beyond the field in life. But you have

509
00:23:33,720 –> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: enough guys in the ball club right now with that

510
00:23:36,520 –> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: same mentality just keep fighting, keeps claw and keep scratching.

511
00:23:40,680 –> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: Do not continue to look at the scoreboard. Don’t look

512
00:23:43,040 –> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: at the time on the scoreboard. How much of that.

513
00:23:44,720 –> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: Don’t pay attention to the percentages what the naysayers say,

514
00:23:48,680 –> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: zero percent trying to win a game when you all

515
00:23:50,680 –> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: they gotta do is needed it. As long as they

516
00:23:52,560 –> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: have to snap the ball, As long as that ball

517
00:23:54,840 –> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: has to be snapped, you have a chance and an

518
00:23:56,880 –> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to create a big play at a big moment,

519
00:23:59,400 –> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: in a big time and change the course of history

520
00:24:01,960 –> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: that game. No one thought except for guys like Matt

521
00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: Level still cheering his brains out, he would. He didn’t.

522
00:24:10,480 –> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: He didn’t care if he was gonna be horse the

523
00:24:11,920 –> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: whole week. He wanted to feel impact and emotion. He

524
00:24:14,960 –> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: wanted those guys on the field, those eleven players to

525
00:24:17,680 –> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: feel his presence. And they did. And not only did they,

526
00:24:21,200 –> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: that center felt it. That center quarterback exchange felt Matt

527
00:24:24,960 –> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: McMullan up in the hun and they got a little

528
00:24:27,160 –> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: shaky and it snapped, It went to the right a

529
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: little bit and it missed the quarterback. It was me.

530
00:24:31,560 –> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: You had a part of that, and that’s that’s the

531
00:24:33,640 –> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: relationship that players and fans have and that’s why it’s

532
00:24:36,320 –> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: so important when you talk about you know, now in

533
00:24:39,119 –> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: the two thou twenty one season, is it is it

534
00:24:41,320 –> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: worth going to the game? You know, TV’s the way.

535
00:24:44,080 –> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: TV’s looking so good. You can say at home and

536
00:24:46,200 –> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: have your own food and being comfortable and forget all that.

537
00:24:49,560 –> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the environment,

538
00:24:51,840 –> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: if you really want to be a fan and come

539

Speaker 1: to the game and see what the players are going through,

540
00:24:55,400 –> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: you gotta be in the stadium. You gotta be here

00:25:04,720 –> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: gotta be in the stadium to be a part of it.

545
00:25:06,760 –> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: It’s an amazing feeling as a player, and now beyond

546
00:25:09,520 –> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: the player, as a fan going to the game and

552
00:25:25,080 –> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: the Philippines or Dubai. Just go ahead and just yell, man,

553

554
00:25:32,320 –> 00:25:34,399

555
00:25:34,440 –> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: the authorities, let us know how it goes. But no, no,

556
00:25:38,119 –> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: yell for it and feel that vibe. But we talk

557
00:25:39,800 –> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: about magic. Now. We know Shop had ten games on

558
00:25:43,640 –> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night football in his ten year career. His record

559
00:25:47,080 –> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: in those ten games, how many wins? Eight and two?

560
00:25:52,840 –> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Eight and two, mister Monday Night eight wins on Monday

561
00:25:55,840 –> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: Night football. Yeah, man, that’s pretty good. That’s a good percent.

562
00:25:58,480 –> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: That’s eighty percent sports. I think eighty percent is pretty

563
00:26:02,040 –> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: good and everything pretty good. Yeah, that’s easy. Man. You

564
00:26:05,960 –> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: bounced back thirty seven nothing lost. Yeah, I feel like

565
00:26:09,400 –> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: that was the tough one. Yeah, the early one we counted.

566
00:26:11,880 –> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: It was one we didn’t count because I was inactive

567
00:26:13,760 –> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: my rookie year with the Red with the Washington football team.

568
00:26:16,160 –> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: But all the other ones, man, I think I had

569
00:26:17,840 –> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: a significant part in those games. And I’m telling you

570
00:26:19,960 –> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: when when the question came up, I went blank because

571
00:26:22,359 –> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: I was like, man, a game is a game to

572
00:26:23,800 –> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: me as I was playing, So you’re asking me to

573
00:26:25,760 –> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: remember I didn’t know what game we played Saturday Sunday.

574
00:26:29,840 –> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: Money didn’t care to me. It was this ball game.

575
00:26:31,720 –> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: And when you looked it up and showed me the

576
00:26:33,240 –> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: spreadsheet and we started to let you tabulate it up

577
00:26:36,960 –> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: and how you do your mad thing and make it

578
00:26:38,920 –> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: all look good for me. And I started looking at

579
00:26:40,800 –> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: those wins, wins, whin, I’m like, I want a lot

580
00:26:42,920 –> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: of balls. Pretty good Monday night. I was pretty good

581
00:26:44,720 –> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: at football. I was pretty good on Monday night. Man

582
00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: missed the Monday night man. That’s that might be my

583
00:26:49,160 –> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: my alter ego at dinner with your beautiful wife. Go, babe,

584
00:26:53,080 –> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: did you know how good I was? Ten bucks? If

585
00:26:57,040 –> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: you do that, I’ll give you ten bucks. All right,

586
00:26:59,080 –> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Another Monday Night game because this Defending the Kingdom podcast

587
00:27:02,840 –> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: dealing with Monday Night memories and meaning, because these games

588
00:27:06,200 –> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: have all gone on to mean something for the most part.

589
00:27:09,640 –> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: In the twenty fourteen game against the Patriots, and remember

590
00:27:12,680 –> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots were almost unbeatable at this time. They’re just

591
00:27:16,800 –> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: going to roll through everybody. They’re a machine. They had

592
00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: been the machine since oh one. This is the fourteenth season,

593
00:27:23,320 –> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: thirteenth year. They come into Arrowhead Stadium and Tom Brady

594
00:27:27,000 –> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: had one of his worst nights ever as a pro.

595
00:27:30,520 –> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: I went back and watched some of the video of

596
00:27:32,240 –> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: that game. Oh my gosh, the Chiefs were all over

597
00:27:35,080 –> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in this game. It was a big night

598
00:27:37,359 –> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: for Jamal Charles And honestly, it was the night that

599
00:27:40,920 –> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe here’s the meaning of Monday Night football, where Travis

600
00:27:44,119 –> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: Kelsey became Travis Kelsey. He did not play in twenty thirteen.

601
00:27:47,880 –> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: He only had like a snap one game. And I

602
00:27:50,400 –> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: remember in that fourteenth season he had a good game

603
00:27:52,400 –> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: in a three tight end set against Miami. But it

604
00:27:54,840 –> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: was this game and when you hear the commentators talking

605
00:27:57,640 –> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: about it, they’re like, Kelsey’s going to have a great career.

606
00:28:00,720 –> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: They were prophesying. But it was that Monday night at

607
00:28:03,240 –> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: JHA Field, that Arrowhead Stadium that Tom Brady got obliterated

608
00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: by the Kansas City Chiefs, who saying Abdullah had to

609
00:28:09,480 –> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: pick six I believe, And yeah, it was awesome. Tom

610
00:28:12,119 –> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: Brady got benched in that game for Jimmy Garoppolo and

611
00:28:14,200 –> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: it feels like forever ago Tombahall, he had a tomahawk,

612
00:28:16,560 –> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: he got it out. Yeah, he was great in this game.

613
00:28:18,800 –> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: They couldn’t block Tom. The game was awesome and we

614
00:28:20,840 –> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: talked about it a few days ago. It was also

615
00:28:22,640 –> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: the same weekend that the Royals the wildcard game against

616
00:28:24,880 –> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: the Oakland A’s, so just a great sports weekend in

617
00:28:27,720 –> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Royals were there that night. Yeah, I think

618
00:28:30,160 –> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: Salve and ned Yos they were down on the sideline yuck,

619
00:28:32,520 –> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: got it up. Yeah, and then the next night they

620
00:28:34,520 –> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: go on to go on their best two years ever. Yeah. Yeah,

621
00:28:37,640 –> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: just an awesome, awesome night here at home, and I’ll

622
00:28:40,480 –> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: never forget it. There’s some interesting parallels we can learn

623
00:28:43,120 –> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: from that game as well, I think, because you’re right,

624
00:28:45,720 –> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots were the boogeyman back then. I mean, you

625
00:28:48,160 –> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: could not beat them. And whenever we played the Patriots,

626
00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: whenever any team played the Patriots, it was like the

627
00:28:53,760 –> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It was like, we gotta beat the Patriots.

628
00:28:55,760 –> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: It was kind of that way playing the Seahawks for

629
00:28:57,200 –> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: a while too, like we gotta beat this team because

630
00:28:59,520 –> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: they are the standard. And we’re kind of seeing that

631
00:29:01,600 –> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: from the other side now. We’re seeing that from teams

632
00:29:03,720 –> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: like the Titans. Seemed like that, from teams like the Chargers,

633
00:29:07,040 –> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: like the Ravens, like it’s they’re pouring everything they have

634
00:29:09,600 –> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: into these games and we’re kind of learning how we

635
00:29:11,520 –> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: need to match that energy as a football team. But

636
00:29:14,120 –> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: what we can learn from that game is that the

637
00:29:16,880 –> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Patriots lost was forty one to fourteen, I think something

638
00:29:19,440 –> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: like that. They got absolutely obliterated. In all the national

639
00:29:22,560 –> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: media pundits were saying the Patriots are done, the dynasty’s over,

640
00:29:26,200 –> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: they’re done, and they’ve won like three Super Bowls since then,

641
00:29:29,520 –> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: so just saying that, really great teams can just get

642
00:29:33,960 –> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: clocked sometimes, But how do you learn from it? The

643
00:29:36,600 –> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: Patriots learned from that game. They won the Super Bowl

644
00:29:38,640 –> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: that year, and that, in my mind, gives me confidence

645
00:29:41,560 –> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs can do the same thing. And the national

646
00:29:43,720 –> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: pundits this week have called the ending of the Chiefs kingdom,

647
00:29:47,040 –> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: like they think that we’re going to cease operations. I

648
00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: don’t know if you’ve heard, like he’s like they’re done,

649
00:29:52,040 –> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: like ha ha ha. Let’s see. You know, that was

650
00:29:53,920 –> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: a flame out real quick. But your point’s a good one.

651
00:29:56,760 –> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: That was a blip on the screen for the Patriots.

652
00:29:58,720 –> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: But they just kept right on charging as long as

653
00:30:00,960 –> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: Tom Rady was there, and that’s a little bit different

654
00:30:02,560 –> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: for him. But shop again, a game like that where

655
00:30:07,960 –> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: you just you take on the best that the league

656
00:30:10,280 –> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: has on a Monday night football game and you wipe

657
00:30:12,800 –> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: them out. So let’s transition here a little bit about

658
00:30:15,800 –> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: this game again we kind of alluded to it, but

659
00:30:18,640 –> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: this New York Giants game where the Chiefs can figure

660
00:30:21,960 –> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: this out, turn it, get the ship in full throttle

661
00:30:24,640 –> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: and head of the open seas we said it early,

662
00:30:27,480 –> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: it’s turnovers, right, Turnovers are They’re contagious, and they also

663
00:30:31,760 –> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: are seasonal Right, it’s just a moment in time when

664
00:30:34,160 –> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: when when turnovers happening, And so I say, turnovers are

665
00:30:37,120 –> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: kind of like a flu. There’s the contagious in this season.

666
00:30:40,520 –> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: That’s that’s how it is. And one of the coaches,

667
00:30:42,880 –> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, is really good at give him a flu shot.

668
00:30:45,160 –> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: He knows how to put a shot in the armor

669
00:30:46,640 –> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: to guys. He knows that it’s the way they practice,

670
00:30:48,960 –> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: the way they go about their day to day that

671
00:30:50,920 –> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: prepares them all off season and foot throners the week

672
00:30:54,480 –> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: for any opportunity that comes up. And one thing everybody

673
00:30:58,200 –> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: knows about coaching Andy Reid is that he doesn’t pressed

674
00:31:00,280 –> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: the panic button. I don’t even think he has a

675
00:31:02,080 –> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: panic button. There isn’t there like there’s no nothing in

676
00:31:04,640 –> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: his DNA. They’ve ever panics about what’s going on. He’s

677
00:31:07,480 –> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: seen more football than not forgotten about. You know what

678
00:31:09,960 –> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I’m saying. He’s seen more football than most of us

679
00:31:12,080 –> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: even knew. Um there was in that that archive out

680
00:31:14,840 –> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: there in Mountain Vernon, New Jersey with the NFL films

681
00:31:19,360 –> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: that he probably has a little version of that in

682
00:31:20,800 –> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: his basements somewhere. He just puts on that reel and

683
00:31:22,680 –> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: started watching football for hours and hours. But Um, coach

684
00:31:26,320 –> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: Andy is the epitome of what you called how to

685
00:31:28,880 –> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: write the ship, staying calm in the middle of the storm,

686
00:31:32,080 –> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: allowing everybody to see in his calmness what they need

687
00:31:34,720 –> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: to do. You gotta you gotta you gotta emulate some

688
00:31:36,800 –> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: of that. And I think as players we get the

689
00:31:38,960 –> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: little excited or get emotional, we want to get a

690
00:31:41,440 –> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: little rounro on the sideline, and man, forget all that.

691
00:31:45,600 –> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: Go back back to the fundamentals. This team is fundamentally sound.

692
00:31:48,560 –> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: They got the skill at all the positions UM needed

693
00:31:51,560 –> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: to go win ball games. Everybody just has to do

694
00:31:53,560 –> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: their job and didn’t do what you’re being coached to do.

695
00:31:56,360 –> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: You don’t have to do any more any less. Get

696
00:31:58,400 –> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: first down, first down, touchdowns, drive ends in field goal rains,

697
00:32:02,440 –> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: will take the points. We ain’t got to recreate the wheel.

698
00:32:05,120 –> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: We ain’t got to be nobody else being the Kancity

699
00:32:07,680 –> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs has always been good enough and it will always

700
00:32:10,440 –> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: be good enough to win a high amount of ball

701
00:32:12,840 –> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: games in the NFL, and it will get us to

702
00:32:15,360 –> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs and we will crescendo. We will we will

703
00:32:19,240 –> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: rise at the summit. We will be at the top

704
00:32:21,080 –> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: of the mountain, playing our best ball when we need

705
00:32:23,640 –> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: to be. That’s at the end of the season, preparing

706
00:32:26,080 –> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: to go somewhere or play here in the playoffs, and

707
00:32:29,040 –> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: no one will want to play the Kanna City Chiefs

708
00:32:30,880 –> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: when we get things going the right way. Not your

709
00:32:33,000 –> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: final thoughts, Yeah, I mean, I love that entire mindset.

710
00:32:35,440 –> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: And I heard what you had to say on the

711
00:32:37,360 –> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: radio a few days ago about how this team is

712
00:32:39,520 –> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: not getting caught up in playoffs scenarios and a losing

713
00:32:43,200 –> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: record and looking forward to other games down the road.

714
00:32:45,720 –> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: They’re not doing that. It’s a one game season right now,

715
00:32:48,120 –> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: and that’s not just because we’re three and four. It’s

716
00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: that way all the time, and it might not seem

717
00:32:52,240 –> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: that way on the outside, but that’s how coachree Is

718
00:32:54,040 –> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: always approached every game. It’s it’s a one game season.

719
00:32:57,280 –> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: You need a one in ol mentality, and we need

720
00:32:59,120 –> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: that mentality more than ever right now. And the beauty

721
00:33:01,640 –> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: of this team is that they have the culture and

722
00:33:03,200 –> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: the experience and the resolve to win football games. They’ve

723
00:33:05,720 –> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: seen it time and time again against immense adversity more

724
00:33:08,760 –> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: so than this, and coach Reid has dealt with these

725
00:33:10,920 –> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: kind of things throughout his career. I think about twenty

726
00:33:12,880 –> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: and fifteen, this team starts one and five, they win

727
00:33:15,760 –> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: every game the rest of the way and win a

728
00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: playoff game. First playoff game this team is won in

729
00:33:19,560 –> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty years. Think about even twenty seventeen. They start super hot,

730
00:33:23,000 –> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: but then have a stretch where they lose I believe,

731
00:33:24,720 –> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: like five of six, including the Giants twelve to nine. Yeah,

732
00:33:27,680 –> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: they didn’t get a touch show anything. Yeah, they lose

733
00:33:29,400 –> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: the teams that on paper they were better than. These

734
00:33:31,480 –> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: things happen sometimes it’s all about how do you respond

735
00:33:34,040 –> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: to it, How do you react to it, and what

736
00:33:35,880 –> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: do you learn from it? And once again, the beauty

737
00:33:38,640 –> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: of this team is that we have the coaches and

738
00:33:40,000 –> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: the players that have been through this kind of thing

739
00:33:41,480 –> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: before and they know how to answer it, they know

740
00:33:43,200 –> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: how to respond to it. And just look at Twitter.

741
00:33:45,120 –> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I love seeing this from Patrick Mahomes. On Tuesday,

742
00:33:48,320 –> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: he tweeted out, I’m ready to get to work hashtag

743
00:33:50,720 –> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom and then Travis Kelsey quote tweeted, let’s do this.

744
00:33:53,240 –> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: Micole Harbin quote tweeted it, let’s do this. Like the

745
00:33:55,280 –> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: team is ready for this. They know that they’re better

746
00:33:57,560 –> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: than this and they can’t wait to show the team

747
00:33:59,360 –> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: that they are. They have fire and they’re the ultimate

748
00:34:01,760 –> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: competitors and this team is never going to give up.

749
00:34:04,560 –> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: And that’s why I know they’re going to find success

750
00:34:06,240 –> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: and it begins this weekend against the Giants. Three things

751
00:34:09,080 –> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: here as we close. First of all four things, shop

752
00:34:12,760 –> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: was eight and two on Monday night football. That’s pretty rich.

753
00:34:15,120 –> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: I’m saying, just saying two the fact that Monday night

754
00:34:19,440 –> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: football can be very special. And this podcast has been

755
00:34:22,680 –> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: brought to you by three sixty Vodka. That’s part of

756
00:34:24,920 –> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: three two is I’m going to go to an autopart

757
00:34:27,360 –> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: store and I’m gonna find STP motor Oil. And that’s

758
00:34:30,960 –> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: because stp now means shift the pressure. Because in every

759
00:34:34,080 –> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: one of these Monday night minute things we talked about

760
00:34:36,600 –> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: these four games and your recollection, the opponent felt the

761
00:34:40,760 –> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: pressure from the chiefs at Gha field at Arrowhead Stadium.

762
00:34:44,520 –> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: And finally, I’ll leave you with a question, are you

763
00:34:47,360 –> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: Wiley Coyote? Are you the Roadrunner? Thanks for joining us

764
00:34:51,280 –> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: on this edition of Defending the Kingdom To Ahead
