15
00:00:44,960 –> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: who follows me on Twitter or any other social media.
16
00:00:47,440 –> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: The process being more in product, being more important in
17
00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: the product. It’s always about the process. What are we
18
00:00:53,680 –> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: doing each day to build, build, keep building upon what
19
00:00:57,520 –> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: we’re doing here in the Kingdom and what makes our
20
00:00:59,760 –> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: franchise different, what makes our organization different. Everybody in the building,
21
00:01:04,560 –> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: everybody facing the same direction, you know, everybody on the
22
00:01:07,640 –> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: same page. Coach Andy Reid does an amazing job of
23
00:01:10,400 –> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: giving everybody to see that vision and seeing how we’re
24
00:01:13,160 –> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: going to accomplish it, laying out a game plan each day,
25
00:01:16,600 –> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: each game, and understanding how we’re going to progress throughout
26
00:01:19,720 –> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: the season to become champions. And now we’re here. It’s
27
00:01:23,400 –> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: what we talk about in springtime on defending the Kingdom
28
00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: and the summer and during training camp and during the
29
00:01:31,200 –> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: regular season, through all eighteen weeks and then you see
30
00:01:34,760 –> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: it manifested like this Matt and this team. We’re gonna
31
00:01:38,720 –> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: get into this during this episode, but what this team
32
00:01:41,360 –> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: has done and how they got to this point. Yeah,
33
00:01:43,400 –> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: just how special is this? I mean, three Lamar Hunt trophies,
34
00:01:47,040 –> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: one in our stadium with confetti flying in four years
35
00:01:50,400 –> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: is just this isn’t supposed to happen. The way the
36
00:01:52,840 –> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: NFL is set up, The NFL is built on parody.
37
00:01:55,440 –> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Everyone’s supposed to have a chance. And for the Chiefs
38
00:01:57,880 –> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: to host five consecutive a Championship games and to win
39
00:02:01,520 –> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: three of them is truly remarkable and unprecedented really in
40
00:02:05,280 –> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: NFL history. The Patriots had a great run, but they
41
00:02:07,440 –> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: didn’t host all these games in a row and the
42
00:02:10,000 –> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs have And this one for me, I think might
43
00:02:12,720 –> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: be the sweetest so far, because twenty nineteen was amazing,
44
00:02:16,600 –> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: but it was kind of like a freight train, right,
45
00:02:18,880 –> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: It’s like, oh, or here, this is amazing. Twenty twenty
46
00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I think we kind of expected it. Twenty twenty one,
47
00:02:24,240 –> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: let’s go for a three peat, right, and it was
48
00:02:26,360 –> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: taken away from us. So to fight through the entire
49
00:02:29,040 –> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: season and to finish it off against the Bengals of
50
00:02:31,919 –> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: all teams, and to go to the Super Bowl. Here again,
51
00:02:34,919 –> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: this one was the sweetest one, I think for me.
52
00:02:36,720 –> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Then you take it back from the one who took
53
00:02:38,880 –> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: it from you, as you were alluding to, and that
54
00:02:41,080 –> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: made it even better. And we’ll get into that here
55
00:02:43,639 –> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But first, which is defending the
56
00:02:45,760 –> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Kingdom tradition, And now we’re meeting Kingdom defenders everywhere we go. Yes, right,
57
00:02:49,800 –> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: they’ll come up and mention it. But around the world,
58
00:02:52,760 –> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: who’s defending the Kingdom in this episode? So we got
59
00:02:55,600 –> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: a hat, this hat, of course, for winning the AFC title.
60
00:02:59,360 –> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: I now have eleven hats in my office because seven
61
00:03:02,200 –> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: division title hats, three conference title hats, in a Super
62

Speaker 1: Bowl championship hat hopefully we get another hat here in
63
00:03:08,240 –> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: a few weeks, but I have on eleven now before
64
00:03:11,160 –> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: I jump into the people around the world, we were
65
00:03:13,560 –> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: curious how to say five and Azerbaijani last last week’s

68
00:03:23,919 –> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: a row. And we were curious, how you say five
69
00:03:25,680 –> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: and Azerbaijani because you are quite interested in Azerbaijan very much.
70
00:03:29,520 –> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: The answer is it is pronounced besh besh and Larry James,
71
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Joel and Michael I’ll let us know that if we
72
00:03:36,880 –> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: asked the Kingdom a question, they let us know the answer.
73
00:03:38,920 –> 00:03:42,600

Speaker 1: was called out rightfully so for this, for kind of
78
00:03:55,280 –> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: glossing over that last time. I’m like, oh, we got

Speaker 1: Marianna is in Croatia. Adam is a Volga German which
94
00:04:45,320 –> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: I did some research on the Volga Germans. Quite interesting history,
95
00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 1: big part of the history of the Chiefs Kingdom because
96
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: a lot of Volga German immigrants moved to the Kingdom,
97
00:04:55,360 –> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of them in Kansas actually some a
98
00:04:57,720 –> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of Central Kansas influence among Volga germ Very cool. Well.
99
00:05:00,880 –> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Adam is a Volga German. We have a listener in Brighton,

102
00:05:11,200 –> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: He lost his mom, Larna Edwards, at the age of
103
00:05:14,120 –> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: eighty nine two Sundays ago. She was a gigantic Chiefs
104
00:05:17,240 –> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: fan her whole life. She listened to you, called the
105
00:05:20,040 –> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: win over the Jags back in the divisional round, and
106
00:05:23,360 –> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: passed away the next day, I believe, but just a
107
00:05:26,520 –> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: huge Chiefs fan. I’m sure she was watching the af
108
00:05:29,240 –> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: title game from above and just sorry, very sorry for
109
00:05:32,360 –> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: your loss, John, but thank you for sharing your story.
110
00:05:34,839 –> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: And this is why Chiefs Kingdom is so great, right,
111
00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: it’s a family. So eleven today people listening to DTK.
112
00:05:40,680 –> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you picked e eleven because
113
00:05:43,920 –> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: I think markuis velde Is Scantling, because I think that’s
114
00:05:47,760 –> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: just number right. Mark was veldo Is Scantling redefined his
115
00:05:50,240 –> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: career really up to this point. And this is not
116
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: a knock on MBS, but he kind of lived up
117
00:05:55,360 –> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: to the back of his baseball card, meaning oh a
118
00:05:58,680 –> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of yards after catch. Right, he’d been the deep
119
00:06:01,240 –> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: threat guy. Go back and watch the fifty seven year
120
00:06:03,120 –> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: older against San Francisco. Truthfully was working on the target
121
00:06:07,279 –> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: to catch ratio, which was about his career. But never ever, ever,
122
00:06:11,480 –> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: even with US one hundred yard receiving game with Green Bay,
123
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: had he been You’ve got to do it, man, it’s
124
00:06:17,200 –> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: the Alamo or out of Ammo. You’ve got to be
125
00:06:20,040 –> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the guy. And I thought MVS maybe redefined his career
126
00:06:24,680 –> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: with the performance he had against the Jaguar. I’m I’m sorry.
127
00:06:27,080 –> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Against the Bengals, well, when when all the chips were down,
128
00:06:31,160 –> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: when all the other receivers were coming up a little
129
00:06:33,240 –> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: bit um, you know, not able to go, it was
130
00:06:36,760 –> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: it was no one else to turn. It was MBS
131
00:06:38,640 –> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: had to be our wide receiver. One the Bengals were
132
00:06:41,240 –> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: going to focus on stopping him, and it was can
133
00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: he win? Can he get away from Eli Apple? Is
134
00:06:46,400 –> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: he gonna able to elude Mike Hilton? Is he going
135
00:06:49,240 –> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: to be able to create the big plays and the
136
00:06:51,279 –> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: big catches? And not only did he create the big plays,
137
00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: but the touchdown score was the first downs. He brought
138
00:06:57,360 –> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: the energy and the excitement we needed from our wide
139
00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: receiver to make sure that the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t just
140
00:07:03,080 –> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: focus on taking Kelsey away and then stall our offense.
141
00:07:06,600 –> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: So what he did is when you talk about stepping
142
00:07:09,400 –> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: up to the plate, stepping up your game when most needed,
143
00:07:13,320 –> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: when there was no one else for us to count one.
144
00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: He stepped up in the biggest moment, in the biggest time,
145
00:07:17,720 –> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: when we needed it to create a future. And Man,
146
00:07:19,880 –> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of his plays in his career up to
147
00:07:21,520 –> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: this point had been scheme plays. We’re gonna scheme you
148
00:07:24,320 –> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: into a double move, right, we got you here, We’re
149
00:07:26,560 –> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna influence him here of then we’re gonna This was different.
150
00:07:29,480 –> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: He had to make plays where it wasn’t necessarily scheme
151
00:07:33,120 –> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: for him to be wide open. I think of the
152
00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: play where he was double covered and twisted his body
153
00:07:37,800 –> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: over to my left is the Chiefs were going to
154
00:07:39,840 –> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: my left. I go, that’s a signature play for him.
155
00:07:42,480 –> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: That in the touchdown, I think we saw a brand
156
00:07:44,600 –> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: new NVS that sets up possibly the rest of his career. Yeah,
157
00:07:47,560 –> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: it was awesome. He had to be the guy, as
158
00:07:49,560 –> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Sean mentioned, because no Kadarius Tony in the second half, now,
159
00:07:52,480 –> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Micole Harman, no Jujus and a schuster from much of
160
00:07:54,920 –> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: the second half, and it was really in a lot
161
00:07:57,240 –> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: of ways a statement about the Chief’s season because in
162
00:08:00,480 –> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: the offseason, Patrick Mahomes talked about how it’s going to
163
00:08:03,080 –> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: be everybody. It’s going to take everyone, It’ll be someone
164
00:08:05,800 –> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: new every single week. Right, We’re not just going to
165
00:08:07,720 –> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: be an offense that goes through one or two guys.
166
00:08:10,040 –> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: It’s going to be an entire team. And that was
167
00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: manifested when you’re missing half of your receiver corps in
168
00:08:15,800 –> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the season against a very good
169
00:08:18,160 –> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: defense and the Bengals that have gotten the better of
170
00:08:20,640 –> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at times, especially in second halfs over the
171
00:08:23,320 –> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: last two years, and MBS says, don’t worry, put it
172
00:08:26,320 –> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: on me. I’m here, I’m gonna make huge plays in
173
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: the biggest game of my life. And he did so.
174
00:08:31,000 –> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: He had six receptions for one hundred and sixteen yards
175
00:08:33,200 –> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: in this game and a touchdown. Three of those catches
176
00:08:35,880 –> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: moved the chains on third down, one of them being
177
00:08:38,200 –> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: a huge nineteen yard touchdown. Just an amazing performance by
178
00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: MVS and the biggest game of his career, and he
179
00:08:44,559 –> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: was a microcosm of a lot of things that happened.
180
00:08:46,640 –> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: When you think that nine main players were either entering
181
00:08:50,480 –> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: the game injured, some who entered the game injured and
182
00:08:53,040 –> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: were reinjured. Mahomes his ankle, and you think about Kelsey’s back,
183
00:08:57,520 –> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: and you think about Nicko Bolton and his ankle, Juju
184
00:09:01,559 –> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster his toe in his knee, and Kadarius Tony’s ankle,
185
00:09:05,320 –> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: and Williga Jr. I’ll mean, just on and on guys
186
00:09:08,120 –> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: either hurt during the week trying to gut it out
187
00:09:10,200 –> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: or hurt during the game. So now, Shop, you played
188
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: this game to play this opponent, Cincinnati very good at
189
00:09:15,640 –> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: this level, and to fight through all of that to
190
00:09:18,440 –> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: win this game. What did that tell you? Man? It
191
00:09:20,240 –> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: just tells me how prepared the coach and staff had
192
00:09:22,720 –> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: our entire team, not just the ones and twos, but
193
00:09:26,040 –> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: the fourth and fifth wide receiver, the second and third
194
00:09:28,160 –> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: tight end to be able to go in the game
195
00:09:29,800 –> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: and perform at that level, execute when all the pressure
196
00:09:33,960 –> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: everything is built up, and in that moment be able
197
00:09:36,120 –> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: to rise to the occasion and make the big first down,
198
00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: make the big blocks. Man. It’s just, man, you gotta
199
00:09:41,400 –> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: tip your hat off to the amount of detail that
200
00:09:43,840 –> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: was paid to this Chiefs game plan. And also it
201
00:09:47,320 –> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: probably caused a little bit confusion to the Bengals defense
202
00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: because you’re expecting to see eighty seven and eleven out there,
203
00:09:53,160 –> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: you’re expecting to see nineteen and seventeen. You won’t ready
204
00:09:56,520 –> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: for the other guys that when they showed up. Are
205
00:09:58,880 –> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: we gonna tilt this safety to the speed? Still? Are
206
00:10:01,480 –> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: we gonna we’re gonna double the second tight end? Or
207
00:10:05,120 –> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: so I threw a probably threw a bunch of your
208
00:10:07,320 –> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: defensive calls a little bit off weck when he came
209
00:10:10,559 –> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: down to it. But again, hats off to the Chiefs
210
00:10:14,160 –> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: players for definitely stepping up to the moment and playing
211
00:10:16,800 –> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: some unexpected roles in the AFT Championship game. So I
212
00:10:20,040 –> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: we love you shop. That is such an interesting perspective.
213
00:10:22,400 –> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: And I actually said something I was thinking about during
214
00:10:24,480 –> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the game. But then sky Moore played all three positions
215
00:10:29,679 –> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: with you know, he’s the slot, he’s the Z and
216
00:10:32,920 –> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: became kind of the jet sweep guy. So sky Moore
217
00:10:35,760 –> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: stepping up. And if you had Marcus Camp catching a
218
00:10:38,960 –> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: pass in the fourth quarter for thirteen yards when the
219
00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs needed the most, then we’ll get you a Kingdom
220
00:10:43,320 –> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom T shirt whenever we get Defending the
221
00:10:46,120 –> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: Kingdom T shirts, because you deserve it. But Matt It
222
00:10:48,440 –> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: wasn’t just on the offensive side. So Lagarius Sneed goes
223
00:10:51,480 –> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: down where and he’s got to leave, and you’re facing
224
00:10:54,320 –> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: one of the elite wide receiving quarters in the league.
225
00:10:56,720 –> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: What about the younger guys on that side. Yeah, Joshua
226
00:10:59,160 –> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Williams steps in, Jawn Watson steps in, and we can
227
00:11:02,320 –> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: talk all about our rookies here. Way back in training camp,
228
00:11:05,480 –> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: coach Merritt called our rookie defensive backs the Fab five,
229
00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: and those guys were Trent McDuffie, Joe and Watson, Joshua Williams,
230
00:11:13,520 –> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Brian Cook, and Nazi Johnson. And the biggest game of
231
00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: their lives. Here’s what those players did. Trent McDuffie had
232
00:11:19,640 –> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: six tackles, a tackle for loss and two passes defensed.
233
00:11:22,600 –> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Jawn Watson had four tackles, including one where he kept
234
00:11:25,360 –> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: te Higgins in bounds and then closing seconds of the
235
00:11:28,280 –> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: first half that eventually led to the Bengal settling for
236
00:11:30,720 –> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: a field goal. He had two passes defense. One of
237
00:11:33,000 –> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: those was the very next play on a fade to
238
00:11:34,920 –> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: te Higgins and an interception. Joshua Williams had four tackles,
239
00:11:38,760 –> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: two passes defensed, an interception, Brian Cook four tackles, a
240
00:11:42,040 –> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: pass defense that led to Joshua Williams interception, and then
241
00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Nazi Johnson had a special teams tackle. The moment was
242
00:11:48,160 –> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: not too big for these guys against one of the
243
00:11:50,280 –> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: best offenses and one of the best wide receiver corps
244
00:11:53,200 –> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL. These dbs off and on an island
245
00:11:56,840 –> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: didn’t blink. It was no problem. And what’s so cool
246
00:11:59,559 –> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: about it is if you look back at Week thirteen
247
00:12:01,640 –> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, Joshua Williams in particular, there was a
248
00:12:04,640 –> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: few times the Bengals got him. The final play of
249
00:12:06,960 –> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: the game, Tee Higgins caught a pass that basically ended
250
00:12:10,080 –> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: the game. With Joshoe Williams and coverage, they had a
251
00:12:13,000 –> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: chance to make up for all of that and the
252
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: AFC title game, and those guys all held their own.
253
00:12:17,559 –> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: So really cool stuff from our young dbs. The future
254
00:12:20,200 –> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: is bright in the secondary and all of you Kingdom
255
00:12:22,679 –> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: defenders around the world, if you get a chance to
256
00:12:24,679 –> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: watch the video of the punt return by Sky Moore,
257
00:12:28,679 –> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: watch who makes the key blocks on that punt return.
258
00:12:32,600 –> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: Many of the names that you mentioned, including Jack Cochrane,
259
00:12:36,520 –> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: a undrafted free agent linebacker from the University of South Dakota.
260
00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: But Nazi Johnson was in on that play too, So
261
00:12:44,120 –> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: that leads us leads me to the next point I
262
00:12:46,120 –> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on, is the fact that
263
00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs played eight rookies on special teams or defense
264
00:12:52,400 –> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: in this game. That tied an all time NFL record
265
00:12:55,640 –> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: in a championship game, either AFC or NFC with the
266
00:12:59,360 –> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight Chicago Bears and the twenty thirteen New
267
00:13:03,840 –> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: England Patriots. Then you throw in the aforementioned sky More
268
00:13:07,559 –> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: and the aforementioned Isaiah Pacheco Shop. Ten rookies. Yeah, that
269
00:13:13,040 –> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: was like forty eight guys that played in this game.
270
00:13:15,000 –> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: Ten of the forty eight to win this game. We’re
271
00:13:17,960 –> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: guys that were rookies. Well, I’m gonna have to We’re
272
00:13:20,160 –> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to stop calling them rookies because usually in
273
00:13:22,720 –> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: an NFL career, your first year, when you’re a first
274
00:13:25,160 –> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: year player, you might get a hundred snaps and that’s
275
00:13:27,800 –> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: that’s one hundred snaps for you to go in the
276
00:13:29,160 –> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: offseason and then try to build upon it your second year.
277
00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: These guys have been playing, I mean they got a
278
00:13:34,760 –> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: hundred snaps out the way by mid season. And so yes,
279
00:13:37,320 –> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: they’re first year players and sometimes first year players because
280
00:13:40,760 –> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: you don’t have enough film on them, it’s hard to
281
00:13:43,040 –> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: gain playing against You don’t know if inside leverage is
282
00:13:45,800 –> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: truly what you’re seeing. You don’t know if a bump
283
00:13:49,040 –> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: and run is not bail technique, because you just don’t
284
00:13:51,520 –> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: have enough film on these guys to know exactly what
285
00:13:53,720 –> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: you’re up against. So it’s kind of a double aired sword. Yeah,
286
00:13:56,440 –> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: they don’t have the experience, but they have so much
287
00:13:58,880 –> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: energy and they have so much desire to do the
288
00:14:01,520 –> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: right thing. And these guys when you talk about swagger
289
00:14:04,280 –> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: and confidence, and like you said, Coach Mary built it
290
00:14:06,720 –> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: in them from the back end down our rookies, our
291
00:14:09,720 –> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: first year players. Man, they played like savvy bets all
292
00:14:13,360 –> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: game long. And there was not a moment in that
293
00:14:15,520 –> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: game where the moment was too big for him and
294
00:14:17,960 –> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: they all rose up to the occasion. Yeah it was,
295
00:14:20,640 –> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: and we saw that even in the summer with these guys.
296
00:14:22,760 –> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: But they just continue to grow and now they’ll be
297
00:14:24,560 –> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: on the biggest stage in Super Bowl fifty seven. But Matt,
298
00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: before we get into Shop’s dichotomy here of his career,
299
00:14:32,520 –> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the redemption factor because
300
00:14:35,240 –> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: this script. We’ve said it before, like Ted Lasso’s screenwriters
301
00:14:39,800 –> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: are brilliant, right, You’re thinking, these are awesome writers. They
302
00:14:42,880 –> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: couldn’t have thought of this script because an episode low,
303
00:14:45,520 –> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: let’s see four or five Skymore Muffs punts and the
304
00:14:48,480 –> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs lose to the Colts and Muff’s a punt against
305
00:14:50,840 –> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and he’s a dunce and get
306
00:14:52,840 –> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: him out of here, and then he comes up with
307
00:14:54,200 –> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: that biggest punt return maybe in the Andy Reid era
308
00:14:58,520 –> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: of Chiefs football. And then you get Harrison Butker missing,
309
00:15:01,840 –> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: Pats miss and he’s been hurt and he missed his
310
00:15:04,240 –> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: field goals and he had the one legged field goal
311
00:15:06,560 –> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: at Arizona but he missed. Oh my gosh, he’s missed it.
312
00:15:08,640 –> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: What do we got? And then he kicks a kick
313
00:15:11,400 –> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: into the wind that hung up there for years and
314
00:15:14,560 –> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: then drops over the crossbar. Those two guys in particular, Yes,
315
00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: they could have wilted and melted long ago. It was
316
00:15:21,360 –> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: so awesome. And it’s funny you mentioned the script stuff
317
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: because you and I talk about the movie Draft Day
318
00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: a lot, and it’s one of those things my wife’s
319
00:15:28,120 –> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: favorite movie I’m like, yeah, like, well, watch it good.
320
00:15:30,880 –> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: But my wife will ask me about it, like is
321
00:15:32,360 –> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: this kind of how things work behind the scenes. I’m like, no,
322
00:15:34,400 –> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: this is entirely unrealistic and it’s ridiculous and everything. If
323
00:15:38,160 –> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: the sequence at the end of the AFC Tattle game
324
00:15:40,280 –> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: was a movie, we would say this isn’t realistic because
325
00:15:43,240 –> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: this would never happen, right. But that’s why after the game,
326
00:15:46,080 –> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: when I saw you, after we were jumping up and
327
00:15:48,080 –> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: down and screaming for a while, I’m like, this is
328
00:15:49,960 –> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: why football is the greatest game on earth. Because Skymore
329
00:15:53,040 –> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: can go through his struggles this season, Harrison Butker can
330
00:15:56,400 –> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: go through his struggles this season. But for each of
331
00:15:58,440 –> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: those guys, for the biggest punt return of Skymore’s life
332
00:16:02,040 –> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: and the biggest kick of Harrison Butker’s life, no problem,
333
00:16:05,360 –> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: they’re going to come through. And how cool is that?
334
00:16:07,600 –> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: And that’s why if you followed this team the entire season,
335
00:16:09,960 –> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: you go through the ups and the downs. That’s why
336
00:16:11,920 –> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: that moment is so satisfying because Skymore’s not nervous, He’s
337
00:16:15,640 –> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: not going to drop the punt. He’s like, I’ve got this.
338
00:16:17,560 –> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: Not only am I going to catch this I’m going
339
00:16:19,600 –> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: to run it for twenty nine yards and get the
340
00:16:21,320 –> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs knocking on the door of field goal range. And
341
00:16:23,960 –> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: then when the Chiefs get in Harrison Butcker’s range on
342
00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: a very cold night where the ball is like a rock,
343
00:16:29,200 –> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: he knocks a forty five yard field goal through the
344
00:16:31,080 –> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: uprights and sends the Chiefs to the super Bowl. It’s
345
00:16:33,360 –> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: just awesome, And it’s why we care more about just
346
00:16:36,400 –> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: the team. If we care about the players, we care
347
00:16:38,240 –> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: about them as people and the stories and what they’ve
348
00:16:40,760 –> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: fought through to get here, and for those two guys
349
00:16:43,520 –> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: to come through in the end and to send the
350
00:16:45,160 –> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs to the super Bowl. I listened to a lot
351
00:16:47,080 –> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: of sport talk radio, and before the playoffs started, you
352
00:16:50,280 –> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: kept hearing, oh Man, special teams are going to hold
353
00:16:52,120 –> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs back in the playoffs. Special teams sent the
354
00:16:54,880 –> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs to the super Bowl. Just it’s so awesome. Yeah,
355
00:16:57,960 –> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: it’s so He’s gonna throw shade on guys ort and
356
00:17:00,120 –> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: things during the season. It’s such a long twists and turns,
357
00:17:03,480 –> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: but it also tells you about the infrastructure this Chiefs
358
00:17:05,840 –> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: team and the fact that there is such it’s such
359
00:17:08,280 –> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: a great environment because they stayed with sky More and
360
00:17:12,320 –> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: they stayed here at Ston Packer because they knew they
361
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: could do it. It’s interesting. Your old team mate Dante
362
00:17:16,440 –> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Hall was my Chief’s Kingdom guests on the radio Monday
363
00:17:19,119 –> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: Night is awesome. But he’s like he saw sky More.
364
00:17:21,080 –> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: There’s nobody left. All the dudes that did it before
365
00:17:23,680 –> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: we’re hurt or not active. So he’s the only guy laught.
366
00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: And so Dante’s along, just don’t feel that, just let
367
00:17:28,680 –> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: it bounce, just let it And then he saw it’s
368
00:17:30,280 –> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: a returnable punt, and then Dante said, go, go, go,
369
00:17:33,880 –> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: But it was just funny to hear that. All right,
370
00:17:35,600 –> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: let’s get got, but he isn’t. How amazing is it?
371
00:17:38,480 –> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: From coach Dave Tobe’s point of view, the same thing.
372
00:17:41,200 –> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: People throwing shade on Tobe. He’s done. It’s worst Tobes
373
00:17:44,480 –> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: worst year. But every other phase you got first strings,
374
00:17:47,359 –> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: second string, third string, there’s another guy you can put
375
00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: in if somebody’s not doing well. You don’t have a
376
00:17:52,080 –> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: second kicker, you don’t have multiple return like you got
377
00:17:55,480 –> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: the gas you got and you gotta make it work.
378
00:17:57,359 –> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: In the biggest moment, your first return goes down McCole Hardman,
379
00:18:01,320 –> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: your second Tony goes down, and now you’re dealing with
380
00:18:03,600 –> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: a guy that everybody told you to give up on
381
00:18:06,040 –> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: because during the season three unfortunate plays kind of took
382
00:18:11,720 –> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: him off the field. No point did Dave Tobe ever
383
00:18:15,160 –> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: lose faith in the kid. He continued to make him
384
00:18:18,080 –> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: go out there and catch punches, catch punts, work on
385
00:18:21,240 –> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: his craft. You never know when we’re gonna need you.
386
00:18:23,920 –> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: And having that moment arrived where the confidence, in all
387
00:18:27,680 –> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: the faith to coach Tobe had in this young man
388
00:18:29,880 –> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: to have it culminate in that point, in this moment
389
00:18:32,320 –> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: of the AFC Championship game, is gonna do amazing things
390
00:18:35,760 –> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: for that young man’s career. Oh and maybe Tommy Townsend
391
00:18:39,520 –> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: did okay holding the ball? What about holder that was
392
00:18:43,960 –> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: ted last episode twelve, Holder Gate and the fact that
393
00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: we overlook what Tommy Townson’s meant to this team in
394
00:18:50,160 –> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: that punting because the Chiefs all they’re going to decide
395
00:18:52,400 –> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: the punt when it’s twenty to twenty, Burroughs gonna get
396
00:18:54,320 –> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: the ball back. Oh look where he got the ball back? Yes, okay,
397
00:18:57,400 –> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: and Tommy Towns has done that all year long. Easy
398
00:18:59,560 –> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: to take that for granted. Okay, we’re gonna close it
399
00:19:02,520 –> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: out this way on our Super Bowl fifty seven Edition,
400
00:19:05,119 –> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: Part one, we’re gonna get into the weeds of the
401
00:19:06,920 –> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: game a lot more next week in the Phoenix area
402
00:19:09,760 –> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: with Actually we’re gonna have a couple of dtks for you,
403
00:19:12,720 –> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: But we’ve got to talk about how intriguing this specific
404
00:19:16,560 –> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl is, and in many ways more than any
405
00:19:19,320 –> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: of the fifty six preceding Super Bowls because of all
406
00:19:22,680 –> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: of the ties, starting with our own shop, our own
407
00:19:26,440 –> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: spider Man. Let’s go, let’s see it, full disclosure. What
408
00:19:29,320 –> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: do we got? Well, everybody talks about is it the
409
00:19:31,080 –> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: Andy Bowl? Is it the Kelsey Bowl? Right? Andy? Heving
410
00:19:33,800 –> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: ties to Philadelphia in Kansas City, both Kelsey, Right, Jason
411
00:19:37,160 –> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: and Travis. His mom has the half jersey right eighty
412
00:19:40,800 –> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: seven on one sixty two on the back. Who is
413
00:19:43,240 –> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: she going to cheer for? Well, in my own house
414
00:19:46,080 –> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: when I look through the closet, of course, everybody knows
415
00:19:48,880 –> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: that barbershop jersey. Before I was ever a chief. Oh oh,
416
00:19:55,200 –> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: for those of you listening and not watching, it’s a
417
00:19:58,680 –> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. I was listen that two thousand and two
418
00:20:04,560 –> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: years I was probably an alternate for the Pro Bowl.
419
00:20:07,640 –> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: I had an over one hundred tackles. Big play. I mean,
420
00:20:10,240 –> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: Jim Johnson, God blessing soul. You talk about a guy
421
00:20:12,920 –> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: that was out there just playing with his hair on fire.
422
00:20:15,760 –> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: I was the wheel linebacker. I was all over that
423
00:20:18,880 –> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: freaking field. Me and Brian Dawkins were like Batman and
424
00:20:21,960 –> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: robbing that season. Man. I mean this jersey right here,
425
00:20:25,240 –> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: it’s a game one jersey. It means so much to me.
426
00:20:27,840 –> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: But when I got to the Kingdom and I decided
427
00:20:30,119 –> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: to trade in the Emer and Green or Emer and
428
00:20:32,920 –> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: black for the Chiefs Colors. Man, this yeah, that’s right,
429
00:20:37,320 –> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: Throw that one away. This is the one, all right,
430
00:20:40,040 –> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: when it’s time for me to be laid to to
431
00:20:42,200 –> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: to rest, this is the one you need to put
432
00:20:43,960 –> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: on my tombstone right here, May in fifty nine barbershop,
433
00:20:46,840 –> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: this is the one I’m going with. Man, So shout
434
00:20:49,160 –> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: out to the Chiefs Kingdom. But it’s been other players, right.
435
00:20:51,480 –> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: We talked about Jemmy Macklin, We talked about Shady McCoy,
436
00:20:56,119 –> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Jason na Vaughan, awesome faith driven guy, want such a
437
00:21:00,040 –> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: solid special teams for not only the Eagles but for
438
00:21:02,200 –> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City. And then a little Wisnewski wins the Super
439
00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: Bowl with both teams players. And then this is a
440
00:21:08,359 –> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: laundry list of coaches that came from that Philadelphia Northeast
441
00:21:12,080 –> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: corridor and made their way to the Midwest. It’s so
442
00:21:15,480 –> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: many different connection points between Kansas City Chiefs and the
443
00:21:19,520 –> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, but I think it begins and starts, starts
444
00:21:23,160 –> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: and stops with coach Andy Reid and the amount of
445
00:21:27,160 –> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: man this the faith driven family football and faith in
446
00:21:30,680 –> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: the way he leads this organization is one for the ages. Man.
447
00:21:33,920 –> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, and man, I’ll get your closing thoughts on this,
448
00:21:37,640 –> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: but really the infrastructure and the guts of this ten
449
00:21:40,359 –> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: year run in the Chiefs kingdom, which has been unprecedented
450
00:21:42,680 –> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: in franchise history and in some ways and closing out
451
00:21:46,640 –> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: on many ways unprecedented National Football League history. It’s it’s there.
452
00:21:51,520 –> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: We’ll get into this more next week in Phoenix. Marked down,
453
00:21:55,800 –> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: even President of the Chiefs was with the Eagles. You
454
00:21:59,320 –> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: mentioned coach fourteen seasons with the Eagles. Bread Veach was
455
00:22:03,280 –> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. Coach Melvin was with the Eagles. Gelu
456
00:22:07,560 –> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: played for the Eagles. Coach with the Eagles. We go
457
00:22:10,640 –> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: right down the line here Mike Fraser, all these guys
458
00:22:15,280 –> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: there is the twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two Kansas
459
00:22:19,640 –> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: City Chiefs were really a byproduct, a strong byproduct of
460
00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: those fourteen years of Andy Reid in Philadelphia. Yeah one.
461
00:22:29,160 –> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: And the culture is something that I think is very
462
00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: similar in both places. And you can look at the
463
00:22:34,720 –> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: story of both seasons for these teams and you can
464
00:22:36,760 –> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: see that culture at work. Both those teams stuck with
465
00:22:39,920 –> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: what they knew. We know the culture that we have here,
466
00:22:42,000 –> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: we know the players that we have here. We’re going
467
00:22:43,600 –> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: to trust our guys. And both teams are fourteen and
468
00:22:46,440 –> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 1: three even clashing in the Super Bowl. And that culture
469
00:22:48,840 –> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: is something that makes these teams both so great and
470
00:22:51,119 –> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: it’s no accident. It’s something that takes years and years
471
00:22:53,400 –> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: to cultivate and we’re so fortunate to have that culture here.
472
00:22:57,119 –> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: If you lined up engineers, we have so many awesome
473
00:22:59,240 –> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: engineers in the Chis Kingdom and now around the world
474
00:23:01,640 –> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: that are Chiefs fans and part of the Chiefs Kingdom.
475
00:23:03,640 –> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: If you had engineers and architects that were together on
476
00:23:06,640 –> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: a project and is laid out blueprints and designs on
477
00:23:09,720 –> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: a table, and they’ll say that those designs were for
478
00:23:12,359 –> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two Kansas City Chiefs.
479
00:23:15,920 –> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: Some third party observer would go, well, wait a minute,
480
00:23:19,000 –> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: wasn’t that the nineteen ninety nine to twenty twelve Philadelphia Eagles,
481
00:23:23,400 –> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: And the answer would be yes, he’s Sean Barber, he’s
482
00:23:26,480 –> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: Matt McMullen, IM Mitch Holter’s voice to the Chiefs. We’re
483
00:23:29,600 –> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: headed to Phoenix, and we will have more defending the
484
00:23:31,880 –> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: kingdom for you next week. In fact, two episodes will
485
00:23:35,080 –> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: jump more into Super Bowl fifty seven. Until then, enjoy
486
00:23:40,040 –> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: the ride, everybody, and get ready to win another championship.
487
00:23:43,440 –> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: Touchdown and the celebration begins in their hand
