So then you have this.

Then you have in the second quarter.

George Kittle goes down and I mean, everyone can see it on camera what happened.

And so the Athletic had sent like eight reporters there to the game.

So I was sitting next to Mike Silver, my colleague.

I'm like, I'm going to go to the tunnel and see if like anything happens because it's George Kittle.

Like he's incredibly magnetic and powerful.

He's got such a big personality and he doesn't strike me as a guy that's going to get injured and just like put a towel over his head.

So I went down to the tunnel and I see his wonderful wife Claire and Jed York, the owner, just walk in there and they, you know, they look miserable for obvious reasons.

And so I'm just about to walk off and I see a guy that I'd seen on the field that worked for the Niners and he had a tequila bottle under his arm and he went into the locker room.

and i didn't want to make assumptions but it was pretty obvious that that tequila bottle was for george kittle um and it turns out that they took shots and they basically just drank their heads off at halftime um or at least through the game because he was so miserable and jed york had walked in there and was like hey man can i do anything for you and george is like yeah can i get some tequila

So after the game, all the players went in there and they see George and he's like hammered.

And he's like, let's go.

And everyone started taking shots.

And that bottle was on the floor, empty, obviously.

So it was quite a celebration in a locker room that, you know, from a team that wasn't probably expected to win.

knock out the Super Bowl champs.

No, there is shame.

I disagree.

You are more talented.
