00:00:00,240 –> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Thank you Danage. On the day when you get opportunity
2
00:00:03,200 –> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: to this game, they can play OCAs. I’ll do what
3
00:00:07,280 –> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: text out Kansas City that cheats all right in the
4
00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: thick of a baby. Welcome to this edition of Defending
5
00:00:15,560 –> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the kingdomach Shelters with you Voice of the Chiefs along
6
00:00:18,440 –> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. And yes, it’s eightters
7
00:00:23,239 –> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: week point a, part one of the twenty twenty two
8
00:00:27,720 –> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: version of this great rivalry dating back to nineteen sixty.
9
00:00:31,120 –> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: But before we get into that, we’re wearing our crucial
10
00:00:34,320 –> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: catch hoodies here. This is our crucial catch game. But
11
00:00:37,920 –> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: we’re not going to wear these hoodies on game day. Now,
12
00:00:41,080 –> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: we want to let’s just accentuate why we’re doing it
13
00:00:43,560 –> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: right to bring awareness to do cancer screening. I was
14
00:00:47,120 –> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: reminded that this week with Nicko Bolton being on The
15
00:00:49,240 –> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: Chief’s Kingdom radio show and his mom had breast cancer
16
00:00:52,040 –> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: and nick who is so courageous during that time as
17
00:00:54,840 –> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: a young teen, just brings it all to life. But truthfully,
18
00:01:00,080 –> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: we’re not going to wear these hoodies on Raiders game night.
19
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Are we black and white? Yeah, we can’t. They’re nice hoodies,
20
00:01:06,680 –> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: They’re nice but they are black, so we can’t wear
21
00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: these on game day. But it is a very important cause.
22
00:01:13,160 –> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: I had a chance to speak with a man named
23
00:01:15,160 –> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Gary yesterday. He’ll be one of the people honored on
24
00:01:17,760 –> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: the field at halftime on a Monday night. He’s a
25
00:01:20,800 –> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: prostate cancer survivor and just a really interesting story. He
26
00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: when he reached a certain age, was getting tested every
27
00:01:27,319 –> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: year his PSA levels to make sure that everything was okay,
28
00:01:29,959 –> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: and he was very healthy, he had no symptoms, and
29
00:01:32,560 –> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: one day his results came back and he had cancer.
30
00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: And the thing that he kept telling me is if
31
00:01:37,319 –> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: you get screened and checked, if they catch it early,
32
00:01:39,800 –> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of people, for the most part, survive
33
00:01:42,400 –> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: prostate cancer. But if you wait and don’t get checked
34
00:01:45,520 –> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: and it’s too late, your chances are not nearly as good.
35
00:01:49,040 –> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: So we’re going to talk about a lot of football here,
36
00:01:51,400 –> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: a lot of positive stuff, but it’s a great chance
37
00:01:53,960 –> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: for the NFL, with its amazing platform, to remind everyone
38
00:01:57,000 –> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: if you can get screened for a certain kind of
39
00:01:58,640 –> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: type of cancer when you reach a certain a you
40
00:02:00,280 –> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: should do it. Yeah, colon cancer is the same way
41
00:02:02,440 –> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: they used to say fifty. Now they’re saying like forty
42
00:02:05,520 –> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: five and forty might be the new fifty. We’ve got
43
00:02:07,840 –> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: friends that have been diagnosed with colon cancer. And so
44
00:02:11,280 –> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: the black and white hoodie okay for Raiders Week, not
45
00:02:13,960 –> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: so much. But these colors represent the different cancers. You
46
00:02:17,880 –> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: can look them up and just realize how important is
47
00:02:20,960 –> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: to be very, very careful and to screen and to
48
00:02:24,760 –> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: be vigilant in your lives for the different kinds of cancer.
49
00:02:28,880 –> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: All right, this Reader’s Week Edition, Part one, we’re gonna
50
00:02:32,840 –> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: have some fun. We’re gonna go a little bit off
51
00:02:34,440 –> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: the grid here because instead of breaking this game down,
52
00:02:37,200 –> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: if you go to High Chiefs Inside or go to
53
00:02:39,320 –> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Kingdom Conversations, we break it down. This one. We’re gonna
54
00:02:42,639 –> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: have some fun because this will be entitled Yes No
55
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: Bizarro and that is your and my recollection of past
56
00:02:51,280 –> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Raider games in this rivalry, ones we like, the yes,
57
00:02:55,919 –> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: the no, the ones we don’t like so much, and
58
00:02:57,960 –> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: then the bizarre version of the Raiders Rivalry. But before
59
00:03:03,160 –> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: we do that Raiders Week or any week, we go
60
00:03:06,280 –> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: around the world and check in with our Kingdom defenders
61
00:03:09,400 –> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: throughout the planet. Now normally we do thirteen seconds, so
62
00:03:12,440 –> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: thirteen names in places I’ve been bending the rules a
63
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: bit lately and did it again today. We have eighteen
64
00:03:17,440 –> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: so it’s eighteen all right, it’s thirteen seconds plus five
65
00:03:20,680 –> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: for five touchdowns scored against the Buccaneers. I like that.
66
00:03:23,560 –> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: I like the way you get the math in there now. Also,
67
00:03:25,880 –> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: the North Pole was represented last week here by a
68
00:03:28,480 –> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: visitor to the North Pole. Sure was, it sure was.
69
00:03:30,880 –> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: And we have some good ones here today. So we
70
00:03:32,639 –> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: have Anthony and Joplin. He’ll be here on Monday, and
71
00:03:35,200 –> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: we’ll also be participating in the halftime show, which is
72
00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: very cool. We have Mickey and KCMO, Nikki and Hannibal Missouri,
73
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a big time Kingdom defender. They’re always checking in, So
74
00:03:45,120 –> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: shout out to you. Nicki hometown of Mark Twain. He
75
00:03:47,560 –> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: was a big Chiefs fan. By the way, of course,
76
00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: Smuel clements. Yes, maybe he’ll be at the game on
77
00:03:51,440 –> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: on Monday, I think so I’ll leave him tickets. Yeah.
78
00:03:53,680 –> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: We’ve got Duncan in Oklahoma. Jason and Vermillion, South Dakota,

Speaker 1: Go Yots, my wife’s alma mater. We’ve got Duncan’s not
80
00:04:01,920 –> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: from Duncan, Oklahoma? Is he? Because there is a Duncan Oklahoma.
81
00:04:05,480 –> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: I don’t believe so I thought it was Duncan in Oklahoma,
82
00:04:07,960 –> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: but I could be mistaken. No there, but it’s always
83
00:04:10,680 –> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: good if you have the name of the town you’re
84

85
00:04:14,360 –> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: look at it, but we know he’s in Oklahoma. At least.
86
00:04:17,240 –> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: We’ve got Anthony and Marshfield, Missouri. Rogilio in Pomona, California.
87
00:04:23,960 –> 00:04:26,760

Speaker 1: Mount Washington, Kentucky, also known as the bourbon outpost Kingdom East.
92
00:04:41,320 –> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: It’s just great. They’re one of our first people that
93
00:04:43,279 –> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: really plant their flag and name their area and they’re
94
00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: still Kingdom defenders out there. We’ve got Sheila in Coca Florida,
95
00:04:50,760 –> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Ruben and Turlock, California. John in Tucson, Arizona. This one’s
96
00:04:55,080 –> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: a cool one. So he’ll be here for the game
97
00:04:56,520 –> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: on Monday with his daughter. It’s his first game in
98
00:04:58,640 –> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: twenty six years eight years ago when she graduated. He
99
00:05:02,200 –> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: promised her that he’d take her to a game. Well,
100
00:05:04,320 –> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: all this time has passed, but he’s finally making good
101
00:05:06,320 –> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: on that promise. And it’s Monday Night football. So things
102
00:05:09,080 –> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: have happened in those eight years since that promise was made? Yeah,
103
00:05:12,200 –> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. Yeah. We’ve got Hunter in Tipton, Missouri,
104
00:05:16,839 –> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Mike and Cardinals. There you go, Mike and Yukon, Oklahoma,
105
00:05:21,240 –> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Perry and the Philippines. And you’ll like this one. Brian
106
00:05:24,240 –> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: from is it Carney Nebraska? Carney Nebraska, home of the
107
00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Bearcats or the University of Nebraska Lopers Universe Nebraska Carney Lopers. Yeah,
108
00:05:32,120 –> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: and close to Smith Center right, yeah, about an hour away. Yeah,
109
00:05:34,880 –> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: but get this, this is cool. So he was originally
110
00:05:36,920 –> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: a Broncos fan. Okay, this is back in the eighties.
111
00:05:39,640 –> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: He went to college and his roommate was a gigantic
112
00:05:42,800 –> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Raiders fan and he would always root against the Chiefs,
113
00:05:46,880 –> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: to the point where Brian started rooting for the Chiefs
114
00:05:50,480 –> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: just to spite his roommate, and then made the full
115
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: conversion over time and now he’s a full blown Chiefs fan.
116
00:05:55,839 –> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Evangelism comes in so many different ways. Yeah, so yes,
117
00:05:59,560 –> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: some care of evangelism for the Chiefs Kingdom live it. Yeah,
118
00:06:02,600 –> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: and that’s our last one. So lots of good ones
119
00:06:04,480 –> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: this week. Well those are awesome ones. So let’s get
120
00:06:07,360 –> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: into our yes no Bizarrow part of the Chiefs rivalry.
121
00:06:12,920 –> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Do we want to want to start with yes or no?
122
00:06:14,640 –> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: We’re leaving Bizarro for the last you want to start
123
00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: yes or no? Let’s start with no. So we have
124
00:06:19,120 –> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: some positivity here in the middle. Okay, I’ll start with
125
00:06:21,720 –> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: the first no here, and these were the games that
126
00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: you’d like to forget. But we might be an agreement
127
00:06:28,279 –> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: on this one. But it’s November twentieth, twenty fourteen at
128
00:06:32,000 –> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: the Colisseum in Oakland. The Raiders were oh and ten.
129
00:06:36,640 –> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: Derek Carr and his rookie year had did not have
130
00:06:39,080 –> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: a win, so we think we’re going to go in
131
00:06:41,240 –> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: there and get it done. Instead, Latavius Murray runs for
132
00:06:45,400 –> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: ninety yards in that game and the Raiders get the
133
00:06:48,520 –> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: victory to go one and ten. That game. That was
134
00:06:50,839 –> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: a memorable to me on a serious note, because when
135
00:06:53,440 –> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: Murray ran that ninety yard run, we’re basically kind of
136
00:06:56,520 –> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: right in front of me is we viewed it in
137
00:06:57,720 –> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: the coliseum with like water dripping on us, hoping that
138
00:07:00,160 –> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: it was just water and not something from the latrine
139
00:07:04,080 –> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: up above. Oh boy, that place, yikes. But I summary
140
00:07:08,800 –> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: and then like Eric Barry, so I go get him, Ry,
141
00:07:10,920 –> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: go get him. But he wasn’t moving just quite right.
142
00:07:13,920 –> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: And now we know it was after that game that
143
00:07:15,880 –> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: he was diagnosed with Hodgkins a lemphoma. But that was
144
00:07:18,960 –> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: the night. It was a bad night all the way
145
00:07:20,920 –> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: around at the coliseum, thinking we’re going to roll these guys,
146
00:07:23,760 –> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: and getting upset with the Latavius Murray ninety yard run
147
00:07:27,000 –> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr getting his first of three wins against
148
00:07:29,480 –> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So I wrote down one for each of
149
00:07:31,960 –> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: these and I was thinking to myself, I don’t want
150
00:07:33,960 –> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: to do the same one as Mitch, but that game
151
00:07:36,760 –> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: solidly fits in the no category. I had to write
152
00:07:39,440 –> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: it down. And what I remember about it was before
153
00:07:42,520 –> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: the game. The game before that one was that awesome
154
00:07:45,800 –> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: win over the Seahawks, the Legion of Boom Seahawks. The
155
00:07:49,680 –> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: offense was working with Jamal Charles. He had an incredible
156
00:07:52,320 –> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: game in that one. It was like two degrees outside.
157
00:07:54,360 –> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: I believe this an awesome game, and the defense stopped
158
00:07:57,480 –> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch on a fourth down attempt like that game
159
00:08:00,640 –> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: was incredible. Beat the legion of Boom Seahawks, I think,
160
00:08:03,480 –> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the reigning Super Bowl champions at the time, and then
161
00:08:06,040 –> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: you’re playing the O and ten Raiders on a short week,
162
00:08:09,040 –> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: and you never don’t want to take an opponent seriously,
163
00:08:12,000 –> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: but they were O and ten and you’re thinking, we’re
164
00:08:14,920 –> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: playing really good football right now. We’re going to go
165
00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: in there and beat them right and then keep things rolling. Well,
166
00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: they lose that game. It was just a tough one
167
00:08:23,240 –> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: in every sense of the word. That started a three
168
00:08:25,720 –> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: game losing streak the Chiefs in nine and seven and
169
00:08:28,520 –> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: that was the only year in coach Reid’s tenure in
170
00:08:30,520 –> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City that we missed the playoffs. So and that
171
00:08:32,880 –> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: was really the beginning of that season going downhill. So
172
00:08:36,480 –> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: if there’s a tag that one go ahead, because I
173
00:08:39,960 –> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: remember this. It was such a great victory over a
174
00:08:42,080 –> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: really good Seahawk team, and I remember all our work
175
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: was done for post game, but I went into the
176
00:08:46,920 –> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: locker room was trying to see some of the guys
177
00:08:48,400 –> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: like fist pump them and our guys in the locker
178
00:08:51,120 –> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: room that it was not I think it was a
179
00:08:53,440 –> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: late game. I think it was a three o’clock game,
180
00:08:55,760 –> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: but I looked around that locker room. Our guys were exhausted. Yeah,
181
00:08:58,920 –> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: and I am thinking we are going to the West
182
00:09:01,720 –> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: Coast with really no days of practice and wednesdays of
183
00:09:05,240 –> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: travel day. To me, it was the first time that
184
00:09:08,400 –> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: I felt the perils of playing Sunday to Thursday on
185
00:09:12,240 –> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the road after Halloween. I think before Halloween, it’s different,
186
00:09:16,960 –> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: like we had to do it, you know. And last
187
00:09:19,080 –> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: year the Chiefs we’re able to win against the Chargers
188
00:09:21,760 –> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: in a showdown game. But man, I thought for us
189
00:09:24,320 –> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: to reboot this fast, even though the Raiders are oh
190
00:09:27,080 –> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: in ten, I go, this is going to be a
191
00:09:29,080 –> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: huge task, and unfortunately it came true. But that was
192
00:09:32,679 –> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: the first time I saw the oh, Sunday to Thursday travel,
193
00:09:35,559 –> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: two time zones and having no practice week and no
194
00:09:38,559 –> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: real time to recover that I thought it got to
195
00:09:40,440 –> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And then of course the Eric Berry cancer
196
00:09:44,040 –> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: diagnosis after the game. Yeah, I mean, you make a
197
00:09:46,920 –> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: great point about Thursday road games. I think that game
198
00:09:49,679 –> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: scarred me forever with West Coast Thursday road games, and
199
00:09:52,960 –> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: that’s why last year, going into that Chargers game, I
200
00:09:56,200 –> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: was so anxious because I knew we could do it.
201
00:09:58,720 –> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: But it’s just as a a disadvantage. I think when
202
00:10:01,679 –> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: you have to play and then a short week travel,
203
00:10:04,200 –> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: you hardly get to practice at all, and you go
204
00:10:05,800 –> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: out against a good team, and the Raiders in this
205
00:10:08,520 –> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: case weren’t very good based on their record. There were
206
00:10:11,000 –> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: oh and ten. But it really shows any given Sunday,
207
00:10:14,160 –> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: any given Thursday in this instance, but if there’s one
208
00:10:17,440 –> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: game in recent memory that really falls and don’t log off,
209
00:10:20,160 –> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: people do not log off. We’re getting to the goods. Yeah,
210
00:10:22,360 –> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: we had to get away, Yeah, I ask you. So
211
00:10:24,600 –> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: we’re gonna get it out of the way and just
212
00:10:25,800 –> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: wash it mouthwash it out, okay. Yeah, But because the game,
213
00:10:28,360 –> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: there’s nothing better than to break through scar tissue, which
214
00:10:30,679 –> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: that was the Thursday night victory last year and beating
215
00:10:33,480 –> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: the Chargers to basically wrap up the sixth straight AFC
216
00:10:36,080 –> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: West championship. Absolutely, and we’ve had so much good fortune
217
00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: against the Raiders in recent years, but that was the
218
00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: one that fits solidly in that no category, I think. Yeah.
219
00:10:43,800 –> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, Car is three and thirteen against
220
00:10:46,240 –> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and those thirteen losses I think is the
221
00:10:48,920 –> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: most against a single opponent by any quarterback in the
222
00:10:51,960 –> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: NFL since twenty fourteen. So all right, I got another
223
00:10:56,559 –> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: one to throw out there, and I know you’re gonna
224
00:10:58,640 –> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: agree with me because going back to the Coliseum twenty seventeen,
225
00:11:01,480 –> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: it was the Due Over Bowl. Right, we’re gonna give
226
00:11:04,520 –> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders every chance to win this game, like four
227
00:11:06,360 –> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: straight plays, like Chief’s gotta stop at their goal line, holding,
228
00:11:10,040 –> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Chief’s get a stop at the goal line? What illegal contact?
229
00:11:12,920 –> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs get to stop at the goal line. We can’t
230
00:11:14,559 –> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: think of something, but it’s gonna be just a duover.
231
00:11:16,720 –> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: It was due over, due, over, due over. Oh they
232
00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: won thirty one to thirty. That’s my bizarro one because
233
00:11:21,640 –> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: I don’t I don’t think that is fair to call
234
00:11:23,760 –> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: that a loss. Looking back, looking back at that game,
235
00:11:26,040 –> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: that felt like one of those games where it’s like, okay,
236
00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: just give it to them. You know, they ran three
237
00:11:30,440 –> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: plays with three seconds left from the one in two
238
00:11:34,160 –> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: flags like you just said, and then finally the two
239
00:11:36,600 –> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: yard touchdown to Michael Crabtree that won the game. And
240
00:11:39,800 –> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: it’s one of those you just throw your hands up,
241
00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: like what are we supposed to do? It’s over and
242
00:11:43,640 –> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: over again, And yeah, that was my bizarro one. We
243
00:11:47,240 –> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: can talk about it again later, but yeah, we’ll get
244
00:11:49,160 –> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: into more of that later. Do you ever stare at
245
00:11:50,760 –> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: the wake up in the middle of the night and
246
00:11:52,080 –> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: stare at the ceiling fan? Oh? Yeah, all the time.
247
00:11:53,920 –> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: It’s not moving, but you’re just staring at it. Yeah.
248
00:11:56,120 –> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: The six straight home losses to the Raiders from twenty
249
00:11:59,080 –> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: seven two o seven and to twenty twelve, I stared
250
00:12:02,760 –> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: at the ceiling fan. Now, the Chiefs weren’t very good,
251
00:12:05,679 –> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders weren’t very good. But we’re loose six straight
252
00:12:07,840 –> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: games at gha Field Arrowhead Stadium. That’s we’re stirring at
253
00:12:11,000 –> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the staring ceiling fan. Yeah, we got to talk about
254
00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: some good ones. Now we’ve talked about just negative. I
255
00:12:17,360 –> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: hope you stayed on. If you came off and came back,
256
00:12:19,760 –> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: please bear with us. So many good memories, you know. Yeah,
257
00:12:23,360 –> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: but any rivalry when you go for since nineteen sixty,
258
00:12:26,280 –> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: you’re gonna have some of those. You can’t just like
259
00:12:28,040 –> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: gloss over it. You got to face it and move
260
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: on and then bust through it. Because the Chiefs have
261
00:12:31,960 –> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: dominated these guys, especially under Andy Reid, and dominated the
262
00:12:35,240 –> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: AFC West. All right, let’s get into the yes column.
263
00:12:37,360 –> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Let’s start to feel good, and then we’ll go back
264
00:12:38,920 –> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: to your bizarro game. And I have actually two bizarro games.
265
00:12:42,280 –> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: I just thought of another one too well. Gay good,
266
00:12:44,280 –> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: so I’m gonna get So this is yes, no bizarre
267
00:12:46,960 –> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: row with the Chiefs Raiders rivalry. Let’s go to the yes.
268
00:12:50,080 –> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: You gotta go first in this yes one. So there’s
269
00:12:52,200 –> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: lots of directions I could go with this, especially in
270
00:12:54,760 –> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: recent memory. There’s a Jamal five touchdown game all on
271
00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: screens by the way, yea, and you figure the screen
272
00:13:01,160 –> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: out on the third one. Everyone’s fantasy football championship that day. There’s,
273
00:13:05,520 –> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: of course, either of the games last year, the comeback
274
00:13:08,400 –> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: in Vegas in twenty twenty. Lots of great games. Mine
275
00:13:11,320 –> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: is very random, and the reason it’s so important to
276
00:13:14,440 –> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: me is it’s one of the games I remember being
277
00:13:17,000 –> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: so passionate about the Chiefs, one of the games where
278
00:13:19,040 –> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I was significantly younger, but I was screaming at the
279
00:13:21,679 –> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: TV and it was Chiefs Raiders and I really bought
280
00:13:24,480 –> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: into the rivalry. And this is November nineteenth, two thousand
281
00:13:28,000 –> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: and six, so quite a while ago. The Chiefs were
282
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: up by four points with just over one minute left.
283
00:13:33,440 –> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: But the Raiders were driving down the field. This is
284
00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: the Aaron Brooks sled Raiders. All right, they weren’t very good,
285
00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: but still it’s Chiefs Raiders. It’s all in a vacuum, right.
286
00:13:41,360 –> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: They’re driving down the field. They get a huge play
287
00:13:44,160 –> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: from Ronald Curry to get down to the Chiefs eight
288
00:13:47,080 –> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: yard line, and I just so distinctly remember standing up,
289
00:13:51,240 –> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: hands on my knees, like, we can’t stop them. What’s
290
00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen? This is gonna be devastating. They’re gonna score
291
00:13:57,880 –> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: here at Arrowhead. We’re gonna lose to the Raiders at home.
292
00:14:01,000 –> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: And Aaron Brooks, looking for Randy Moss in the back
293
00:14:03,440 –> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: of the end zone, was intercepted by Jared Page, remember him.
294
00:14:06,640 –> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: Jared Page picked him off. There was like five seconds left.
295
00:14:09,920 –> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: Chiefs won the game, and I just lost my mind cheering.
296
00:14:13,240 –> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: And I know that game really ended up not meaning
297
00:14:16,160 –> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot. That Chiefs team in two thousand and
298
00:14:17,880 –> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: six was pretty good but didn’t go on to win
299
00:14:19,840 –> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or anything. But certain games just stick
300
00:14:22,720 –> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: with you for any reason, and for me, that game
301
00:14:25,120 –> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: really sticks with me. Yeah, the UCLA bruin. Jared Page
302
00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: baseball player too, Yeah, he was awesome. Great dude, mine
303
00:14:32,480 –> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: is and you know I’ve got a scan here. Twenty
304
00:14:35,880 –> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: eight seasons, just a few of all these Raiders Chiefs games,
305
00:14:40,080 –> 00:14:44,239
Speaker 1: and my big yes game was December the eight, twenty sixteen.
306
00:14:45,240 –> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: This was the converse of going the Sunday Thursday game,
307
00:14:49,600 –> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs had to go on a Sunday Thursday
308
00:14:51,840 –> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: to the Raiders in twenty fourteen. I can still hear
309
00:14:55,480 –> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio’s voice of thinking, we have to go
310
00:14:57,960 –> 00:15:02,119
Speaker 1: to Kansas City in December on a Sunday to Thursday. Turnaround,
311
00:15:02,360 –> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: just the opposite. Let’s forget, we do forget. Coming into
312
00:15:06,920 –> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: that game, the Raiders were ten and two, the Chiefs
313
00:15:09,880 –> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: were nine and three. The Raiders were back, first time
314
00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two, since Rich Ganning going to
315
00:15:14,880 –> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Raiders are back. It is a showdown
316
00:15:18,240 –> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: game on Thursday night football at GHA Field at Arrowheads Stadium,
317
00:15:23,520 –> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs get twenty one points in the span
318
00:15:25,760 –> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: of eight minutes and thirty six seconds and do not
319
00:15:28,040 –> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: score again. But it was also the night Tyreek Hill
320
00:15:30,920 –> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: calls a shot, the crowds calling Tyreek and he runs
321
00:15:33,440 –> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: the punt back and basically Kelsey and goes in dabs
322
00:15:38,000 –> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: Marquet King with the little ride Horsey ride thing. But
323
00:15:41,760 –> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: that was such a huge game because so much was
324
00:15:44,640 –> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: on the line. People forget all the Chiefs have rolled
325
00:15:46,560 –> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders all during Andy Reid’s time. People also forget
326
00:15:50,320 –> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: that Raiders team finished twelve and four tied with the
327
00:15:53,680 –> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs at twelve and four Chiefs when the tiebreaker by
328
00:15:56,440 –> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: sweeping said Raiders, and that was the first of the
329
00:15:59,520 –> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: six run to six straight AFC WIS championships. I’m on
330
00:16:05,400 –> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: Omaha every week. Omaha Radio or affiliate up there every
331
00:16:08,400 –> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: week on Wednesdays at three fifteen if you want to
332
00:16:10,480 –> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: tune in. They play a series of highlights every week,
333
00:16:14,440 –> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: and they play the one there I go. They’re stretching
334
00:16:16,520 –> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: the chains. It’s a first down Kansas City, and they
335
00:16:19,440 –> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: give me a hard time, Like, dude, it was a
336
00:16:21,360 –> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: first down. No, no, no, no no. That first down sealed
337
00:16:24,680 –> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: that game and started the run of six straight division championships.
338
00:16:28,160 –> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: But that’s a big yes to me because there was
339
00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot more on the line than people maybe realize
340
00:16:33,480 –> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: because they think the Chiefs under Andy Reid have dominated
341
00:16:35,600 –> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders all the time. That game was a showdown game.
342
00:16:37,920 –> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: That game was awesome. I was an intern for the
343
00:16:39,960 –> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs that year, so I got to be there in
344
00:16:41,880 –> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: the stadium in the press box watching that game. Derek
345
00:16:44,640 –> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Carr was an MVP candidate that year. He had a
346
00:16:47,040 –> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: great season. That Raiders team was really good, and people
347
00:16:49,680 –> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: thought the Raiders were going to burst through and maybe
348
00:16:52,120 –> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: win the division. And I think you’re so right about
349
00:16:54,600 –> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: what a flashpoint that was, because, yeah, the Chiefs have
350
00:16:57,720 –> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: won all these division titles in a row. They’ve been really,
351
00:17:00,120 –> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: really good, but there’s flashpoint games where you have to
352
00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: assert your dominance. You have to remind everyone this is
353
00:17:06,320 –> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: the team that’s going to win the division, and to
354
00:17:08,680 –> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: do it in twenty sixteen, it just started all of
355
00:17:11,680 –> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: this we’ve enjoyed over the last several years because the
356
00:17:14,119 –> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: team was good prior to that. Good in two thirteen
357
00:17:17,080 –> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: with a nine and oh start, Good in two fourteen,
358
00:17:19,640 –> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: didn’t make the playoffs but still finished with a winning record,
359
00:17:22,040 –> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Good in twenty fifteen got the postseason win. But to
360
00:17:24,880 –> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: finally win the division and move forward and assert our
361
00:17:28,880 –> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: dominance over the division after the Broncos had dominated it
362
00:17:31,560 –> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: for so long, that game really started everything we’ve enjoyed
363
00:17:35,280 –> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: over the last several years and Tyreek’s touchdown was awesome
364
00:17:39,040 –> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: with the crowd chanting his name. The only bummer in
365
00:17:41,280 –> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: that game was DJ going down with the achilles injury.
366
00:17:43,960 –> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: But that was an awesome night for sure. Yeah, that
367
00:17:46,800 –> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: his crew was never the same after that. He ended
368
00:17:48,760 –> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: up being a Raider for a while. It’s like, what
369
00:17:50,480 –> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: I can’t deal with that? That was stirring at the
370
00:17:52,400 –> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: ceiling fan two. But I still can see DJ chasing
371
00:17:55,280 –> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: car out of bounds late in that game and pulling up.
372
00:17:58,080 –> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was a heck of a night. And
373
00:17:59,680 –> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: that team now had seven Pro bowlers on it, yea
374
00:18:02,800 –> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: in three All Pro players. So that was a crew
375
00:18:06,359 –> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: that was outstanding for that Raider team. All Right, that’s
376
00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: some of Yes’s we’ve heard the nose. Now let’s go
377
00:18:13,680 –> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: to the Bizarro category of this Chiefs Raiders rival. Rois
378
00:18:18,359 –> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: look back on it, getting ready for this Monday night game.
379
00:18:21,400 –> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Huge game again at GHA Field at Arrowheads Stadium. All right,
380
00:18:24,800 –> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: I’ll let you go first on I got two Bizarro games. Okay, Well,
381
00:18:28,119 –> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: so the one that really stood out to me as
382
00:18:30,119 –> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Bizarro is the one we previously discussed where the Raiders
383
00:18:33,080 –> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: got like fifteen duovers at the one and you know,
384
00:18:35,800 –> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: they’re like, come on, you can do it. Let’s try
385
00:18:37,359 –> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: one more time, and they finally got the touchdown and
386
00:18:39,200 –> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: they won, and it’s like, all right, whatever. I think
387
00:18:41,760 –> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: another Bizarro one has to be the loss in twenty twenty,
388
00:18:45,440 –> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: because that Chief’s team was a buzz saw just going
389
00:18:48,280 –> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: through people. If you exclude the final game of the season,
390
00:18:51,119 –> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: because the Star Driver game in yeah, the wheels on
391
00:18:53,760 –> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: the bus go round and run, if you if you
392
00:18:55,359 –> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: exclude the last game of the season against the Chargers
393
00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: because none of the starters played. That Chiefs won all
394
00:19:01,359 –> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: but one regular season game that year. They couldn’t be
395
00:19:04,520 –> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: beaten in the regular season, and they lost to the
396
00:19:07,280 –> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Raiders at home in Week five I think it was,
397
00:19:10,440 –> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: and the Raiders had like three touchdowns in the span
398
00:19:13,760 –> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: of nine plays, just some big deep plays down the
399
00:19:16,760 –> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: field and one play that just keeps me up at
400
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: night for no reason. I mean it doesn’t only matter now,
401
00:19:21,920 –> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, exactly is the third and fifteen to Hunter Renfro.
402
00:19:26,480 –> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: Third and fifteen. He couldn’t get off the field and
403
00:19:28,200 –> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: Hunter Refro got a big conversion. Raiders won that game.
404
00:19:30,880 –> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: So we’ve had so many great memories against the Raiders.
405
00:19:33,800 –> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: But if I have to think about the bizarro games,
406
00:19:35,920 –> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: those games where I don’t feel like the Chiefs truly lost,
407
00:19:39,119 –> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: just weird stuff happened and the Raiders ended up winning,
408
00:19:41,880 –> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: I think that one falls in that category too. I
409
00:19:43,840 –> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: can still see Nelson Agilore busting between the safeties on
410
00:19:47,119 –> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: that long pass play, thinking wow, this could be an ambush,
411
00:19:50,040 –> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: and it was that day. So that’s the warning for
412
00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: this Monday night game. Don’t get ambush, don’t get caught
413
00:19:55,680 –> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: into some kind of comfort feeling here because Josh Jacobs
414
00:19:59,280 –> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: is coming and so is Davante Adams. Are the only
415
00:20:01,600 –> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: two guys that are touching the ball right now, I
416
00:20:03,359 –> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: think wall or touch at some But again, go back
417
00:20:06,640 –> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: to watch our Kingdom conversations. This week we get into
418
00:20:09,080 –> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: all that this episode of Defending the Kingdom, though a
419
00:20:11,440 –> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: little bit different. Yes, no bizarre row dealing with the
420
00:20:14,280 –> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs and writers rivalry. I have two. Now this is
421
00:20:17,520 –> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: going to be hey kids said on my knee version,
422
00:20:20,040 –> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: because I’m going to take you all the way back
423
00:20:21,480 –> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: to my very first year of being the voice of
424
00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Right, We’re going back in the ancient of days.
425
00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: So I’m still doing case state at the time, and
426
00:20:29,240 –> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: Case State was in the Aloha Bowl. I am commuting
427
00:20:32,600 –> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: back and forth. I start from Kansas City to Honolulu
428
00:20:36,080 –> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: back to LA because they were playing in the coliseum
429
00:20:38,560 –> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: then they had not relocated back to Oakland before relocating
430
00:20:41,680 –> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. The division is on the line. Are
431
00:20:46,080 –> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs are on the line? Division’s gone. She’s aren’t
432
00:20:48,119 –> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: going to win the division. But Joe Montana’s quarterbacking. And
433
00:20:51,760 –> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: what was bizarre about it had nothing to do with football.
434
00:20:54,280 –> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: Mark Collins, who’s a very active ambassador. Yeah, I both
435
00:20:57,200 –> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: have seventy eight yard pick six in that game. It
436
00:21:00,160 –> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: was huge. But the bizarro part was I’ve got to
437
00:21:02,880 –> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: get back to Honolulu because the Aloha Bulls like the
438
00:21:06,080 –> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: next day. This was on Christmas Eve, and I got
439
00:21:08,840 –> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: to get to Honolulu, which isn’t like really super close
440
00:21:11,600 –> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles, right, it’s five hours. Yeah. So remember
441
00:21:15,400 –> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: you know Joe Joel Myers. I think he’s a Missouri alum.
442
00:21:18,000 –> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Joel Myer is a great voice, right, you just
443
00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: mountain time he goes. Let’s just be pre uber, right,
444
00:21:24,400 –> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: I’ve got to get to lax from the coliseum. I
445
00:21:27,160 –> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: gotta get as fast as I possibly can He goes, oh,
446
00:21:29,800 –> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: you’ll have a cab. You’re fine, You’re fine, You’re kind.
447
00:21:32,040 –> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: So the game’s over. I go, I gotta get to Lax.
448
00:21:34,359 –> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: Got it? I walk out, No, no cabs, no nothing.
449
00:21:37,440 –> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I got all my stuff. I’ve got to If I
450
00:21:39,040 –> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: missed the plane to Honolulu, my life’s over. And so
451
00:21:43,320 –> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: I just start walking about a half block in a
452
00:21:46,280 –> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: old TV SAT truck. Right, we’re going back in the
453
00:21:48,960 –> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: ancient of days here. Yeah, he goes, where are you going, dude?
454
00:21:51,320 –> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: I said, I don’t know. I’ve got to find a ride.
455
00:21:52,720 –> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: I got to find a cab. He goes, if you
456
00:21:54,040 –> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: go another half block, you may not see the morning.
457
00:21:59,040 –> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: He goes, just jump been. So I think I don’t
458
00:22:01,160 –> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: know this guy. We hop in. He’s driving down sidewalks
459
00:22:03,920 –> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: because I got to get to Lax, and he finds
460
00:22:06,800 –> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: a cab pulls up, like pulls in front of him.
461
00:22:08,960 –> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: It’s like, you know, Channel five news. And so I’d
462
00:22:12,400 –> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: give this guy all the money I have just get
463
00:22:14,240 –> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: me to Lax. I could get. And that was a
464
00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: bizarro memory of me in a Raiders game that certainly
465
00:22:19,840 –> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: qualifies as a bizarro Yeah yeah, but by it it
466
00:22:23,760 –> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: was little tense. I got on the plane. I remember
467
00:22:25,800 –> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: just taking a deep breath and on my way to
468
00:22:27,520 –> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: Honolulu to paradise. That is nuts. And he made it.
469
00:22:30,480 –> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: I made it. Yeah, did the Aloha Bowl and spent
470
00:22:32,840 –> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: a few days in Hawaii with my family, and then
471
00:22:34,640 –> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: had to go to the playoff game because then I
472
00:22:36,320 –> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: went from Honolu to Miami because that’s where we played
473
00:22:38,840 –> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: the playoff game in that dreaded like first playoff game.
474
00:22:41,240 –> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: You played the wildcard Saturday morning eleven am game that
475
00:22:44,560 –> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: nobody knows what happens. That was us. We were in
476
00:22:46,440 –> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and out. Joe Montana’s career is over. I got another
477
00:22:49,600 –> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: one that was kind of a yes bizarro, my no
478
00:22:53,240 –> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: bizarro dealt. It was in two thousand and two, December
479
00:22:56,200 –> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: twenty eighth at the Coliseum Raiders four Chiefs Nothing. Why
480
00:23:01,880 –> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: was it bizarro? It was played in a monsoon, and
481
00:23:04,720 –> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: if you remember this game or not, and the Colosseum
482
00:23:07,880 –> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: was below sea level. Remember all the seagulls would fly
483
00:23:10,600 –> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: around after the end of the game. They’re looking for
484
00:23:12,240 –> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: like beer and stuff. So it was just a monsoon.
485
00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: If you talk to any guys that played in that game,
486
00:23:18,000 –> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: A lot of friends played in a game asked don’t
487
00:23:19,560 –> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: they haul about it? Two thousand and two. Actually, stuff
488
00:23:22,440 –> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: was coming up from the bottom of the field. The
489
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: one end zone on the south end was completely covered
490
00:23:27,520 –> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: in water like a like a pond. There’s ducks floating
491
00:23:30,560 –> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: around below sea level. Sewage was seeping out from the
492
00:23:35,920 –> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: bottom of the field. Eric Kicks defensive end for the
493
00:23:39,119 –> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs lands and said, sewage comes up putting it and
494
00:23:42,560 –> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: he said a slang term for sewage. Yeah, and he’s like, hey, hey, hey, hey,
495
00:23:46,440 –> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: hey goes no like sewage. Unreal. It was unreal, and
496
00:23:51,720 –> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs got destroyed by Rich Cannon. Nobody ever threw
497
00:23:54,920 –> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: the ball. It was pouring rain the whole time, and
498
00:23:58,760 –> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: it was like water. Poles would have been the only
499
00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: guy that could have played this game. That was Bizarro
500
00:24:04,240 –> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: and not a very good day. He would have had
501
00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: like four tackles for loss. Right, He was great, Yeah,
502
00:24:08,320 –> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: I can picked up the ball and threw it in
503
00:24:09,640 –> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: the net that wasn’t there and have that like the
504
00:24:11,960 –> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: swim cap on yeah, with his number fifty six on it.
505
00:24:15,040 –> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, yes, no Bizarro. When you have a great
506
00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: rivalry like this that started nineteen sixty, you’re gonna get
507
00:24:21,880 –> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything in these games. One thing
508
00:24:23,880 –> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: I remember this doesn’t really fit in any category. I
509
00:24:26,480 –> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: guess it would be yes, because we won the game.
510
00:24:28,720 –> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: I believe it was two thousand and five. I was
511
00:24:31,119 –> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: at the Leak of the Ozarks with my dad and
512
00:24:33,400 –> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: we were watching Sunday Night Football as Chiefs Raiders at
513
00:24:36,520 –> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: the coliseum. And this is a hazy memory. I’ve tried
514
00:24:39,359 –> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: looking it up. I can’t find any video of this.
515
00:24:42,040 –> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: But in pregame they showed on the broadcast the black
516
00:24:46,160 –> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Hole and someone I don’t know who brought it in,
517
00:24:49,320 –> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: but the black Hole had like this fifteen yard long
518
00:24:54,040 –> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: plush Chiefs player, like a giant pillow shaped like a
519
00:24:58,600 –> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs player, and everyone in the black Hole was holding
520
00:25:01,480 –> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: part of it and in unison like they were rowing
521
00:25:04,680 –> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: or something, slamming it up against the wall. And that
522
00:25:08,440 –> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: was like one of my first memories of the black Hole,
523
00:25:10,359 –> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: Like these people are out of their minds, and they
524
00:25:13,040 –> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: would show the guys with like the Darth Vader masks
525
00:25:15,320 –> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: on and spikes on their shoulders and everything, and that
526
00:25:18,760 –> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: was like one of my first introductions to the black Hole.
527
00:25:21,160 –> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: That was Randy Moss’s first game with the Raiders, and
528
00:25:23,880 –> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: he had a big touchdown and was like high stepping
529
00:25:25,960 –> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: to the end zone, and that just further intensified my feelings,
530
00:25:28,880 –> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: like I hate these guys, and do you know what’s
531
00:25:31,720 –> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: funny about it? I had those memories and that was
532
00:25:33,720 –> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: going to end up in the no category for me,
533
00:25:35,600 –> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: But then I looked it up. We actually won the game,
534
00:25:38,320 –> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: but I had all these negative memories about it, like
535
00:25:40,640 –> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: just a bad taste in my mouth about the Raiders.
536
00:25:42,440 –> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: But you were traumatized by the big pillow. I was.
537
00:25:44,840 –> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: I was traumatized by it. But yeah, those are my
538
00:25:47,680 –> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: early memories of the black Hole. And you know, it’s
539
00:25:51,320 –> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: strange saying this as a Chiefs fan talking to straight
540
00:25:54,880 –> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: football and football people. I do feel bad that the
541
00:25:57,760 –> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: black Hole do the longer exists. Allegiance Stadium is amazing,
542
00:26:01,359 –> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: I’ll be honest. It’s in a very nice venue for football,
543
00:26:04,440 –> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: but the black Hole can never be replicated. Those people
544
00:26:07,280 –> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: were out of their minds, but they love their Raiders,
545
00:26:09,760 –> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: and I’ll give them credit for that. I walked by
546
00:26:11,920 –> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: the black Hole many times for pregame and I thought,
547
00:26:14,880 –> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: anthropologists need to study this. Yeah, where’s my anthropologist friends go?
548
00:26:19,119 –> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Tell me about this group. I would walk by with
549
00:26:22,040 –> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Lenny Dawson. Oh my gosh, that you want to activate
550
00:26:25,560 –> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: the black hole. Walk with Lenny Dawson. You know they’re
551
00:26:28,440 –> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: wanting to lacerate his kidney, like Ben Davidson tried to
552
00:26:31,800 –> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: do back in Municipal Stadium. But the best moment for
553
00:26:34,480 –> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: the black Hole was the Brandon Flowers interception. Oh yeah,
554
00:26:37,359 –> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: the pick six. Yes, he flexes on top of the
555
00:26:40,119 –> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: ball in front of the black hole. There’s a great
556
00:26:42,680 –> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: photo if you can find it. Because we love in
557
00:26:45,240 –> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: the Chief’s Kingdom bird hunting. We loved a bird hunt right,
558
00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: It’s just it’s best in the world here. There were
559
00:26:51,200 –> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: many birds in that picture, but none were from the
560
00:26:54,680 –> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: Audubon Society. Let’s just leave it at that way. It
561
00:26:57,720 –> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: is a classic picture. This is a classic rival. When
562
00:27:00,520 –> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: we get ready for another chapter, this Monday night is
563
00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will entertain the Raiders at g h A
564
00:27:05,720 –> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: Field at Arrowhead Stadium. He’s our senior team reporter, Matt McMullen,
565
00:27:09,680 –> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: I’m a Choulti’s voice of the Chiefs. And yes, we’ve
566
00:27:11,840 –> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: lived through these rivalries. Yes, No and Bizarro touch down
567
00:27:19,960 –> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: down and the celebration begins to Lhead
