69
00:03:33,880 –> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: to Patrick in Colorado. So he ran into my in

70
00:03:36,880 –> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: laws this past weekend just in Colorado, and I guess

71
00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: he’s wearing a Chief sweatshirt or something. And my father

72
00:03:42,880 –> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: in law said, hey, do you know Matt and they

73
00:03:45,160 –> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: linked up. So shout out to Patrick. What a small world.

74
00:03:47,640 –> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: He’ll be at the Rams game this week. If there

75
00:03:49,280 –> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: was a college football playoff for father in laws, your

76
00:03:51,920 –> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: your father in law would be right in there right.

77
00:03:53,920 –> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he’s the Alabama I guess I guess not

78
00:03:55,920 –> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: Abama this year, but he’s the Alabama father in law’s

79
00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: he’s the best. So shout out to Tom. We’ve also

80
00:04:01,920 –> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: got Andrew in Okinawa, Japan. Pretty cool will in Liberty.

81
00:04:05,840 –> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: As a kid, he’d attend Chiefs games or Chief’s camp

82
00:04:08,680 –> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: at William Jewel and remember his Hank Stram letting him

83
00:04:11,400 –> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: and his friends be ballboys for the team at camp.

84
00:04:14,280 –> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: So pretty cool. Carrie reached out to me, you’ll like

85
00:04:17,320 –> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: this one. So she dropped her driver’s license and her

86
00:04:19,520 –> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: credit card in the parking lot before the Jaguars game

87
00:04:22,839 –> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: and was all worried about it, right, checking her statement

88
00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: and seeing if it’s being used for turns out, another

89
00:04:28,279 –> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan named Sal found them both and sent them

90
00:04:31,279 –> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: to her in the mail. So that’s the Kingdom for you, right,

91
00:04:33,240 –> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: It’s more than just football. It’s this Kansas City community.

92
00:04:36,120 –> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: One hundred ways why we win. That’s another one. Absolutely

93
00:04:38,760 –> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: everybody helping everybody else. And the last one so remember

94
00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Justin in north central Kansas. Yeah, do you have any

95
00:04:44,960 –> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: guesses where he lives? I have the answer. Give me

96
00:04:47,520 –> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: the first letter B bell Bell, now um, here we go.

97
00:04:54,560 –> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: The pressures on second letter E boy, yep, you got

98
00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: it home in the troj and so I got a

99
00:05:00,560 –> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: lesser high school football story about that, I think, getting

100
00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: they like win knocked out of both my lungs there

101
00:05:06,480 –> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: and having blood on the field. But anyway, yeah, they

102
00:05:09,440 –> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: were glorious, great high school football tradition there for the

103
00:05:12,640 –> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Beloit Trojans or the Saint John’s of Beloit Bluejays, smaller

104
00:05:16,960 –> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: prochial school. Yeah, but justin out, that’s it pretty good.

105
00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: That’s awesome. Man seventeen around the world for the seventeen

106
00:05:23,080 –> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: yard touchdown by Travis Kelsey against the Chargers last week.

107
00:05:26,800 –> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: All right, well, here come the Rams for this Thanksgiving

108
00:05:30,160 –> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: Sunday game. But you and are going to spend the

109
00:05:32,640 –> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: next several minutes talking about what we’re thankful for, thankful

110
00:05:36,440 –> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: for dot dot dot, And let’s just start with Patrick

111
00:05:38,839 –> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes because you and I have talked about this stat

112
00:05:41,520 –> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: I was working late Tuesday night and you and I

113
00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: worked late in the evenings and researching and get ready

114
00:05:47,080 –> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: for the game or shows like this, and I just

115
00:05:49,400 –> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: it hit me, like, this is so awesome. Patrick Mahomes

116
00:05:53,160 –> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: this year has thrown throwing percentage completion percentage of sixty

117
00:05:57,720 –> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: six point three percent. Last year. At the end of

118
00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: the year, Patrick Mahomes had thrown for sixty six point

119
00:06:04,680 –> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: three percent. The year before, at the end of the year,

120
00:06:07,360 –> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes had thrown for sixty six point three percent

121
00:06:11,720 –> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: to the tenth of a point, to the exact decimal point. Yeah,

122
00:06:15,600 –> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: that’s now you’re you live for stats, your matt stats,

123
00:06:18,720 –> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: your nickname. That’s one of the craziest stats I’ve ever seen. Yeah,

124
00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: do you think Patrick Mahomes is a glitch in the matrix?

125
00:06:24,760 –> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Are we just living in the matrix because it doesn’t

126
00:06:27,400 –> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: seem like it should be real? You go, what we

127
00:06:29,920 –> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: were talking about that, You go, he’s a robot. Yeah,

128
00:06:32,440 –> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: he’s a robot. That’s one of the probabilities. It’s infinitesimal. Yeah,

129
00:06:36,560 –> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: that you could have three straight years where the completion

130
00:06:38,839 –> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: percentage is exactly sixty six point three percent. And his

131
00:06:42,160 –> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: yards per attempt for the most part, are consistent every

132
00:06:44,440 –> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: year too. It’s usually around like eight yards per attempt

133
00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: eight point one, eight point two point seven point nine.

134
00:06:49,839 –> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: And beyond just it being consistent with it being similar

135
00:06:52,360 –> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: every year, it’s also the fact that he’s pushing the

136
00:06:54,120 –> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: ball down field just about every year of his career

137
00:06:56,760 –> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: and yet his completion percentage is still kind of stays

138
00:06:59,080 –> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: exactly the same every single year because you have some

139
00:07:02,080 –> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: players who it’s just short passes all the time, So

140
00:07:04,440 –> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 1: of course our completion percentage is going to be pretty high.

141
00:07:06,880 –> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: But that’s not Patrick Mahomes, Like he’s throwing the ball

142
00:07:09,320 –> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: everywhere right, Like that throw to Jody Fortson against the

143
00:07:11,720 –> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Chargers would be for almost every other quarterback, that would

144
00:07:15,560 –> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: be the best throw of their career. I really believe that.

145
00:07:17,880 –> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: But for him, it’s like that’s just what he does.

146
00:07:21,000 –> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Said this to Dan and Hughes and the radio broadcast,

147
00:07:22,960 –> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: and you were setting there. That play was like your

148
00:07:25,680 –> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: mom when you were going to school on a snowy day,

149
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: butting up your budding up your zipper up your coat

150
00:07:31,040 –> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: and putting up like the muffler around your neck. That

151
00:07:33,520 –> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: was Patrick Mahomes opening up Jody Fortson’s coat and putting

152
00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: the ball in it and then zipping it up and say, hey,

153
00:07:39,200 –> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: be careful at school. That throw was so good, unbelievable

154
00:07:43,720 –> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: and great catch by Jody as well to come down

155
00:07:46,160 –> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: with it. But I mean it’s throws like that that

156
00:07:48,400 –> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: her mind us every single day. We try not to

157
00:07:50,480 –> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: normalize it. Right, you cannot normalize it. What we’re seeing

158
00:07:53,680 –> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: every single day from him is incredible and as good

159
00:07:56,760 –> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: as he has been in his career. I think this

160
00:07:59,120 –> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: might be the best season of his career. I think

161
00:08:00,680 –> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: he’s right in the middle of it. And another stat

162
00:08:03,440 –> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: that we were talking about late last night is he

163
00:08:05,400 –> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: has thirty four completions this year of twenty five or

164
00:08:08,120 –> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: more yards. That one to Jodi was one of them.

165
00:08:10,560 –> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: That’s ten more than second place. It’s the most in

166
00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. It’s fourteen more than he had at this

167
00:08:15,920 –> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: point last year, and it’s the most that he’s ever

168
00:08:18,800 –> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: had through ten games in his career. So Patrick Mahomes

169
00:08:22,680 –> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: is truly unlocked. I think he can throw it deep,

170
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: he can take the short stuff. He can run for

171
00:08:27,560 –> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: first downs if he needs to. He’s having, I think

172
00:08:29,840 –> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: the best year of his career, and what an exclamation

173
00:08:32,720 –> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: point on such a great season so far to lead

174
00:08:34,880 –> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the game winning drive against the Chargers of all teams.

175
00:08:37,360 –> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: I’ve said this, I’m just super proud of him, the

176
00:08:39,880 –> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: way he’s even adjusted his game. I agree with you,

177
00:08:42,120 –> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: this is the best year he’s had, particularly when you

178
00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: consider the circumstances and what the discussion was in the offseason.

179
00:08:48,520 –> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: This is why this game against the Rams were thankful

180
00:08:51,080 –> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: for dot dot dot Patrick Mahomes, but why this Rams

181
00:08:54,760 –> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: game will be historic. If the Chiefs can win this game,

182
00:08:57,840 –> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: it will be Patrick mahomes fifty ninth win in his

183
00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: first seventy four games. That means he will be the

184
00:09:03,920 –> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: winningest quarterback in NFL history in the first seventy five

185
00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: games of anybody’s career. He will take out Kenny the

186
00:09:10,559 –> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: Snake Stabler of Raider fame in the Pro Football Hall

187
00:09:13,559 –> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: of Fame. And the point here is a very strong

188
00:09:17,280 –> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: one because we live in stats. You love stats, but

189
00:09:20,720 –> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: we can set here and go, oh, completion percentage, yards,

190
00:09:23,679 –> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: twenty plus plays, all of that stuff. But there have

191
00:09:26,840 –> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: been quarterbacks down through history that have done that, and

192
00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily one or especially at this level, because he

193
00:09:33,520 –> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: will now have all of that and the wins. Yeah,

194
00:09:37,200 –> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: and a Super Bowl championship already and a Super Bowl

195
00:09:40,760 –> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: MVP and zeroing in on a second NFL MVP. But

196
00:09:44,360 –> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: to have all those stats and win is truly unique.

197
00:09:48,200 –> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Because of the greatest quarterbacks, some would win but not

198
00:09:50,960 –> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: have all the stats. Some would have all the stats

199
00:09:52,800 –> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: but not win. He has both. Yeah, it’s amazing. And

200
00:09:56,000 –> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: you and I we love stats and numbers. It helps

201
00:09:58,120 –> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: put everything in context, but we also real lives that

202
00:10:00,480 –> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: just because you have a great game, you throw for

203
00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: five hundred yards five touchdowns, if you lose, it really

204
00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: doesn’t matter in the end, right it doesn’t. And there’s

205
00:10:08,240 –> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: been a lot of great quarterbacks in NFL history that

206
00:10:10,200 –> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: put up amazing numbers, but they just don’t win a

207
00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: whole lot or win when it matters. And that’s all

208
00:10:15,840 –> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes cares about. The numbers in the stats are

209
00:10:18,480 –> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: how he gets there, but that’s all he cares about

210
00:10:20,480 –> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: in the end. And think about all the great quarterbacks

211
00:10:22,559 –> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: in NFL history, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Montana, Steve Young,

212
00:10:27,920 –> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: like John Elway, like all these great players in NFL history.

213
00:10:31,720 –> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: If he gets this record, he has more wins than

214
00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: all of them through seventy five career stars, all of them.

215
00:10:37,760 –> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: It’s just unbelievable, And I mean, what are we thankful for?

216
00:10:40,520 –> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: It reminds me every day how lucky we are to

217
00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: have him as our quarterback. And it’s more than just

218
00:10:46,080 –> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: that he wins, it’s how he carries himself as well,

219
00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: and it’s just a total package. And again, I just

220
00:10:52,240 –> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: don’t know how this person exists, who’s so good at

221
00:10:55,480 –> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: football athletically, who’s so smart on the field and can

222
00:10:59,080 –> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: analyze things and things, and it’s such a great dude

223
00:11:01,720 –> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: off of it. We’re just we’re so fortunate to do

224
00:11:03,640 –> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: our job covering what he does. We’ll find out someday.

225
00:11:06,720 –> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: He just was delivered here from Tripton and just phenomenal

226
00:11:14,120 –> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: what he has been, has done and is doing. And

227
00:11:16,760 –> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: our locker room loves him. That’s what’s that’s what’s awesome

228
00:11:19,920 –> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: about it. You could be jealous of him, and football

229
00:11:22,280 –> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: teams can be fractured. He speckles it together. The defense

230
00:11:25,360 –> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: loves him as much as the offensive guys. All Right,

231
00:11:27,960 –> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: we are thankful dot dot dot for Patrick Mahomes. We’re

232
00:11:31,440 –> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: also thankful and I’m gonna tell you, I’m gonna before

233
00:11:35,000 –> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: I transition to Kelsey here, thankful for how far Patrick

234
00:11:38,480 –> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: has come. Because let’s go back to the Rams game

235
00:11:40,320 –> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, and we mentioned that winning is the

236
00:11:43,840 –> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: key thing. His career high was in the Monday night

237
00:11:46,800 –> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: football game at the Coliseum against the Rams and a

238
00:11:49,240 –> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: fifty four fifty one loss, but he threw two interceptions

239
00:11:52,000 –> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: in that game and lost two fumbles and the Chiefs

240
00:11:55,200 –> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: lost fifty four fifty one, and yet that’s the game

241
00:11:58,080 –> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: he had four hundred and seventy eight yards. But now

242
00:12:00,679 –> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: he would rather have I don’t know, two eighty nine

243
00:12:03,120 –> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: and win, which is what he has done. So he

244
00:12:05,320 –> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: has come that far to me in his career, which

245
00:12:08,559 –> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: is spectacular. It just shows real growth over time because

246
00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: in that game, it’s obvious he’s incredibly talented, right, I

247
00:12:15,240 –> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: mean the Chiefs in the Rams. That was one of

248
00:12:17,080 –> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: the best games of the year and we came up

249
00:12:19,280 –> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: on the short end of it. But incredible game, amazing player,

250
00:12:22,320 –> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: that is obvious. But how do you take that and

251
00:12:25,360 –> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: find ways to get better? Every single year? That was

252
00:12:27,360 –> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: the question, like how can Patrick Mahomes possibly get better?

253
00:12:30,160 –> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: And people were looking at it in the scope of

254
00:12:32,760 –> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: how can he possibly throw full more touchdowns? How can

255
00:12:35,000 –> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: he possibly throw full more yards? That’s not necessarily it

256
00:12:38,040 –> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: and the numbers have been good obviously every single year,

257
00:12:40,640 –> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: But what we wanted to see from him was can

258
00:12:42,480 –> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: you take that performance and take it one level higher

259
00:12:45,920 –> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: where you know the exact read you need to make,

260
00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: or you know the decision you need to make, or

261
00:12:49,840 –> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: maybe instead of throwing it deep down field, you take

262
00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: the checkdown ten yards down the field, you know, And

263
00:12:55,679 –> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: he’s found a way to be the master of that.

264
00:12:57,520 –> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: And that’s the irony I think of Super Bowl fifty

265
00:12:59,840 –> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: five because give the Bucks credit. They had an amazing

266
00:13:02,760 –> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: game plan against the Chiefs, and all year long last

267
00:13:05,480 –> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: year we were dealing with the two high safety shell coverages,

268
00:13:07,920 –> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: right but now you’re seeing that all over the NFL,

269
00:13:10,760 –> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs essentially got a head start on it,

270
00:13:13,160 –> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes being the football mind that he is

271
00:13:16,320 –> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: in Andy Reid, of course, they find a way to

272
00:13:18,480 –> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: attack it. And I think they are even better now

273
00:13:20,679 –> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: than they were years ago when the offense is putting

274
00:13:23,640 –> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: up all those points and through eleven weeks this season,

275
00:13:26,800 –> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: it’s the number one scoring offense and I believe, for

276
00:13:29,760 –> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: the first time in this season the number one total

277
00:13:31,679 –> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: offense as well. So if you’re any team in the

278
00:13:34,400 –> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: NFL right now, you’re looking at the Chiefs and just

279
00:13:36,120 –> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: saying they’re better now than they’ve ever been. How did

280
00:13:39,640 –> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: this happen? That is true? Now. A lot of you

281
00:13:43,360 –> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: in the States are listening to us driving on Thanksgiving weekend.

282
00:13:46,880 –> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: This is one of the biggest travel. If we’re taping

283
00:13:49,720 –> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: this on a Wednesday and a lot of you are

284
00:13:51,000 –> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: listening to it traveling around visiting loved ones, please be

285
00:13:54,160 –> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: safe on the roads, especially over the next forty eight

286
00:13:57,720 –> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: to seventy two hours when there is so much traffic

287
00:14:00,200 –> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: on the roads, And we pray and hope for a

288
00:14:02,720 –> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: great travel for you if you’re going by air as well.

289
00:14:05,160 –> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: But it leads me into my second point because it’s

290
00:14:07,040 –> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Okay, I’m driving home. We’ve beaten the chargers,

291
00:14:11,600 –> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: we land. I don’t know the time you got home.

292
00:14:13,440 –> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: I got home at five thirty. But on my commute home,

293
00:14:16,360 –> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: it’s about five fifteen in the morning, and I’m listening

294
00:14:18,679 –> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: to late night early morning national radio, which can be

295
00:14:23,480 –> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: damaging to your brain, and they’re talking about tight ends

296
00:14:27,480 –> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: and I’m hearing that, Hey, I think Shannon Sharpe was

297
00:14:30,440 –> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: the greatest receiving tight end in NFL history by I

298
00:14:33,160 –> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: don’t know, Elmer Splurcas. And he’s talking about real Romanowski

299
00:14:36,400 –> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: bringing you know, pharmaceuticals to the and I’m like, I

300
00:14:40,360 –> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: almost drove off the road. It’s five fifteen in the morning,

301
00:14:43,280 –> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: I’ve had little sleep, and I’m like, where do I

302
00:14:45,640 –> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: call into this guy, like, are you serious, Travis Kelsey?

303
00:14:50,000 –> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Thankful for dot dot dot Travis Kelsey. We know thirty

304
00:14:52,720 –> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: three one hundred yard receiving games, most in NFL history

305
00:14:55,240 –> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: for a tight end. This game, this game, this game

306
00:14:58,200 –> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: coming up against the Rams, he could eclipse ten thousand

307
00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: receiving yards. But don’t talk to me about comparing him

308
00:15:05,160 –> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: any more to Shannon Sharp or Greg Olson or any

309
00:15:09,040 –> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: of these guys. He’s just blown them all out of

310
00:15:10,760 –> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: the water. And this year, when you look at the stats,

311
00:15:13,240 –> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: he’s lapping the field of tight ends, including Mark Andrews

312
00:15:17,440 –> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: and others. And those are all great players, no disrespect

313
00:15:20,080 –> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: to them, great players. Travis Kelsey is in a league

314
00:15:22,360 –> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: of his own. I mean, we’ve never seen this before.

315
00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Now forgive me, I’m pretty sure this is correct. I

316
00:15:28,880 –> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: did this at like two in the morning last night.

317
00:15:30,560 –> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: But Travis Kelsey has eight hundred and fifty five receiving

318
00:15:33,440 –> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: yards this year, closing in on a seventh consecutive thousand

319
00:15:36,920 –> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: yards season. These are the players in NFL history who

320
00:15:39,920 –> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: I believe have had seven consecutive one thousand yards seasons.

321
00:15:43,120 –> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, Jimmy Smith, Tim Brown, Mike Evans, Brandon Marshall, Reggie,

322
00:15:49,080 –> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: Wayne Tory Holt, Marvin Harrison, Chris Carter, and Lance Alworth.

323
00:15:54,000 –> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: That’s it, And what’s the common denominator? Involve those as

324
00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: exact some of the greatest wide receivers of all time.

325
00:16:01,600 –> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: So think about that. That is the class of player

326
00:16:04,400 –> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: that Travis Kelsey is in. He is the most receiving

327
00:16:06,960 –> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: yards in the NFL since twenty sixteen. It’s consistent brilliance

328
00:16:11,120 –> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: every single year. You just know what he’s going to do.

329
00:16:13,600 –> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: He’s been amazing this year. Obviously. He has fifty three

330
00:16:16,320 –> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: catches this year that have gone for first downs, most

331
00:16:18,760 –> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. In fifteen of his first time receptions

332
00:16:21,640 –> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: this year have occurred on third down, that second most

333
00:16:24,720 –> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Chris A. Lava has won more on

334
00:16:27,280 –> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: the Saints, but leads the NFL on touchdown catches with eleven.

335
00:16:31,480 –> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I believe he’s seventh and receiving or sixth, sorry sixth

336
00:16:34,440 –> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: in receiving yards this year. I mean, he’s obviously a

337
00:16:38,160 –> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer when it’s all said and done,

338
00:16:40,960 –> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: and I think we both believe. Patrick even staid it

339
00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: after the game. I think he is the greatest tight

340
00:16:45,240 –> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: end to ever do it, and we’ve never seen the

341
00:16:47,320 –> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: player of this caliber before do this numbers wise, and

342
00:16:50,520 –> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: also in the biggest of moments. You know, we were

343
00:16:52,400 –> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: talking about how Mahomes has all the numbers but also

344
00:16:54,800 –> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: the big moments and comes through in the clutch. Is

345
00:16:56,880 –> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: anyone more clutch in this game than Travis Kelsey in

346
00:16:59,080 –> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: terms of receivers the NFL. When the Chiefs needed a

347
00:17:02,240 –> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: guy consistently against the Chargers the Chargers were fighting for

348
00:17:05,160 –> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: their season, it was Travis Kelsey. All three of us

349
00:17:07,280 –> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns gave the Chiefs the lead, including the game winner

350
00:17:09,960 –> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: with thirty seconds left, and again could eclipse ten thousand

351
00:17:12,920 –> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: receiving yards this week against the Rams. And if you

352
00:17:15,680 –> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: know Nan Knucklehand, who was husting that show, send him

353
00:17:19,680 –> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: an email direct message going dude, what are you thinking?

354
00:17:23,000 –> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: But I got back on the road and I was fine.

355
00:17:25,160 –> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: All right, Finally we’re going to close it this way,

356
00:17:27,200 –> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: thankful for And I don’t want to leave the defense

357
00:17:28,880 –> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: out of this at all, because Chris Jones is having

358
00:17:30,960 –> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: an amazing year, one of the best Buck Buchanan kind

359
00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: of year and the number one rated defensive player in

360
00:17:36,880 –> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. And we’ve seen this defense grow and

361
00:17:39,680 –> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: grow but Andy Reid. Thankful for dot dot dot Andy Reid.

362
00:17:43,920 –> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: Let’s just take one thing as it pertains to this week,

363
00:17:46,280 –> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: because we can talk about bye weeks, we can talk

364
00:17:48,560 –> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: about rematches, we can talk about division dominance, not just

365
00:17:51,640 –> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: what he’s done here with the AFC West, but what

366
00:17:53,440 –> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: he did with the Eagles in the NFC East, and

367
00:17:56,760 –> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: that is cross pollinating against the NFC. We’ve talked about

368
00:18:01,280 –> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: it before. People don’t talk about it enough. Fourteen straight

369
00:18:05,320 –> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: wins by Andy Reid against NFC teams. Fourteen straight. The

370
00:18:10,119 –> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: last time the chief quarterback by Patrick Mahomes lost to

371
00:18:13,440 –> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: an NFC team was in December of twenty eighteen at Seattle. Now,

372
00:18:17,640 –> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: there was a loss in twenty nineteen that Patrick Mahomes

373
00:18:20,520 –> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: did not play in against the Green Bay Packers. He

374
00:18:23,080 –> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: was injured in that game. But Andy Reid fourteen straight

375
00:18:26,760 –> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: wins against the NFC could be fifteen this week. Speaking

376
00:18:31,480 –> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: of consistent brilliance, right, I mean, what he’s done in

377
00:18:35,119 –> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: his career is unprecedented and it’s remarkable, and to be

378
00:18:38,640 –> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: this good every single year is incredible. And I think

379
00:18:41,880 –> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: in the presser earlier today, before Coach Reid came out,

380
00:18:45,600 –> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: some of the media was talking about this, and I

381
00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: think it was a really good point. If you look

382
00:18:48,680 –> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: at the Rams this year, their team led by a

383
00:18:51,680 –> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: very good head coach and Sean McVay, very good players, right,

384
00:18:54,720 –> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: Galen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, and at quarterback when he’s healthy,

385
00:18:57,920 –> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford’s a dan good quarterback. I mean, let them

386
00:19:00,920 –> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: do a Super Bowl championship. And the Rams are usually

387
00:19:03,359 –> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: pretty good Cooper Cooper cup Absolutely, they’re usually pretty good.

388
00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: This year they’re three and seven, not having the year

389
00:19:11,040 –> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: that they expected. And that’s pretty normal in the NFL,

390
00:19:13,960 –> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: that you’re going to be really good sometimes not so

391
00:19:16,080 –> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: good other times, and it’s a roller coaster, right, and

392
00:19:18,359 –> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: you ride that. It’s hard to win in the NFL.

393
00:19:21,119 –> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: It puts in perspective what coach Reid is doing in

394
00:19:23,119 –> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City, where every single year we are assuming that

395
00:19:27,520 –> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: we’re going to be in the playoffs, we feel very

396
00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 1: good about our chances in the division, and we are

397
00:19:32,280 –> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: expecting to host the AFC Championship game. Think about that,

398
00:19:36,720 –> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, think how it’s how special that is. And

399
00:19:39,520 –> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: of course the players are the ones that are on

400
00:19:42,160 –> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: the field doing it, but it all starts with coach

401
00:19:44,320 –> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: read and the foundation and the culture that he has

402
00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: created here and again, we’re just so fortunate that he’s

403
00:19:49,480 –> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: leading this team and the captain of this ship, because

404
00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: none of this happens without coach read He and I

405
00:19:55,320 –> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: talked about this actually earlier in the week and a

406
00:19:57,520 –> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: one on one, and I’m gonna ask him about it

407
00:19:59,200 –> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: on pregame. If you listen into the radio pregame, show

408
00:20:01,800 –> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: this very thing. Because he’s now twenty four years as

409
00:20:04,160 –> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: a head coach in this league. There’s one or two

410
00:20:06,960 –> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: those late years in Philly, but other than that, and

411
00:20:08,800 –> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned the ten years here to win consistently. He

412
00:20:11,640 –> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: has talked about how the league goes out of its

413
00:20:14,440 –> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: way even more so to create parody in the league.

414
00:20:17,800 –> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: That’s what the NFL wants. They want parody that all

415
00:20:20,560 –> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: thirty two cities feel like they have a chance. Okay,

416
00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: here are the Rams. If they lose this game, they

417
00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: will be three and eight. It will be the worst

418
00:20:29,440 –> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: year after a Super Bowl championship year in the history

419
00:20:32,880 –> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 1: of the league in a non strike year. There was

420
00:20:36,280 –> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: a strike team. Trying to think who it was the

421
00:20:39,480 –> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six to eighty seven, but it was a

422
00:20:41,960 –> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: strike year. They ended up going in three and eight.

423
00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: The Broncos in nineteen ninety nine were three and seven

424
00:20:48,480 –> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: after Elway retired, but they won the next game. They

425
00:20:51,119 –> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: won the eleventh week to go four and seven. If

426
00:20:53,680 –> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: the Rams lose this game, they go three and eight,

427
00:20:55,480 –> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: You’re going wow and Cooper coup Matthew Stafford eleven different

428
00:20:58,520 –> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: combinations on the offensive line. Let’s go back to the

429
00:21:01,480 –> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: age old year of twenty nineteen when the Chiefs lost

430
00:21:04,800 –> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for two games. Two games they beat the

431
00:21:08,880 –> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: Vikings with Matt Moore at quarterback. The infrastructure of Clark Hunt,

432
00:21:16,560 –> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Brett, Veach, Mark Donovan, the vertical and horizontal

433
00:21:22,200 –> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: strength and infrastructure of this team right now is unparalleled

434
00:21:26,119 –> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. We are losing five out

435
00:21:29,640 –> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: of six games in twenty seventeen. Coach Read is a

436
00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: master troubleshooter. Don’t blink, don’t flinch. I remember he’s looking

437
00:21:39,680 –> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: at me. In twenty seventeen, we’re in the throws of

438
00:21:41,760 –> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: this flues in five out of six, got beat twelve

439
00:21:44,119 –> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: to nine by the Giants. He goes, I’ll fix it.

440
00:21:46,920 –> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: He just looked at me in the eyes. I don’t

441
00:21:48,280 –> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: have to say where he goes. I’ll fix it. We’ll

442
00:21:50,640 –> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: fix it. Yeah, so underrated as a head coach, particularly

443
00:21:54,520 –> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: when things go off the rails, He’ll fix it. Think

444
00:21:57,600 –> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: about what was it twenty fifteen, are one in five,

445
00:22:01,240 –> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and win a playoff game. I think

446
00:22:03,960 –> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty in the Divisional round against the Browns.

447
00:22:06,960 –> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: You lose Patrick Mahomes to a concussion. In that game,

448
00:22:09,280 –> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: Chad Henny goes in, No one panics, find a way

449
00:22:12,080 –> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: to win the football game. Let’s Chad Henny throw the

450
00:22:14,880 –> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: ball on fourth down late in the game, only up

451
00:22:17,680 –> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: a handful of points. The Chiefs win that game. And

452
00:22:20,200 –> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: I think about the game against the Chargers on Sunday night.

453
00:22:23,280 –> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: You have no Micole Harman, no Jujuice, miss Suster, no

454
00:22:26,560 –> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: Kadarius Tony early in that game, no problem. Are going

455
00:22:29,760 –> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: to find a way with Skymore and Justin Watson and

456
00:22:32,880 –> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: mvs and Jody Fortson. We’re going to find a way

457
00:22:35,680 –> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: with these guys. And there’s never any panic. And he

458
00:22:38,160 –> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: provides that culture, that stability, and that framework every single

459
00:22:43,160 –> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: time the Chiefs take the field. And as a sports fan,

460
