You know, oh, you want to talk about the Super Bowl? I mean, you guys are forward. This is new media. It's Thursday. We're in the 2025 football season. But I suppose we could look back. Dan... I should have known this might happen, and I'm going to show you why. I'm going to reach behind me and hold up the thing I've always wanted my entire life because I'm a child of the 80s.

I respect physical print media. Wow, a newspaper. And days before the Super Bowl. It's been a while. This was in the Washington Post. You see that glorious picture right there? And if my life were a movie, that would have been the culmination of the montage of endless winning.

In a Louis Vuitton jacket that I bought from a guy in Copenhagen a year ago to wear to the Chiefs parade about how... Listen, you guys can make fun of me all you want. I am an open book on this show. One of the reasons I come on this show, other than the fact that I love Dan, is I think it makes me more humanized.

Now, do I occasionally imply to the audience I might have a little dispensable income to buy Louis Vuitton jackets from Europe? Or to gamble? Sure. But the audience gets it. I've deserved it. I've worked hard. Back to the story. So I've always wanted that. I've always wanted a newspaper article I can put in my office about me and the Times, the Post, something.

And the story was, the gist of it was, my career arc and a career theoretically taking off right alongside my hometown Chiefs team took off. It was almost too good to be true. And then it was. And now I have to deal with one of the worst Super Bowl performances of all time, which I can deal with.

But what I am not as prepared to deal with as I shake in preemptive anger is folks that either just started watching football or total morons or just don't care about the truth acting like, well, if a quarterback's that good, does he ever have that bad of a playoff game? And the answer is yes, every single one of them always. So I'm doing okay.

Okay, yeah, I mean, listen, that's why Tony's on that side of the room, to not really pepper in those sports tips. I mean, the thing is, like, I like Tony, but I'm just telling you, yes, I agree that if you turned their wins into losses, their record would have been worse. That's all I'm saying.

So here's the thing though, those discrepancies shouldn't have been that big of an edge. The Eagles in the Super Bowl two years ago had the most sacks of any team in 30 years.

the or since the late 80s i should say uh so more than that the eagles this year were middle of the packing sacks and the chiefs while they had an issue at left tackle and so they slid their guard over to tackle it's not like they were the worst offensive line in football we didn't we went into the 2020 super bowl saying oh man you got four backups on the offensive line that could go poorly and it did so i i credit the eagles players

and game plan and execution but to answer your question it's why it went the way it did is a two-fold reason that we actually oddly have for both of the two reasons I'm about to give you an exact one-to-one corollary for it which was the first reason is a very very simple one that not that smart people will say to try to sound really smart which is you know
