Which brings me to the Kansas City Chiefs. You had all those, uh, you know, forgai Chiefs stands out there. Oh, we're gonna run the table, dude, you're a 500 football team. 12 games into the season, 500 football teams don't run the table. They don't even get a seat at the table. And I thought, uh, McDuffie, one of their talented defensive backs who spoke this week about kind of where they're at first time in the Mahomes era that they're in this spot. You know, 500 on the outside looking in, I think they're the 10th or 11th seed right now, uh, in the AFC. So they got a lot of teams to jump and they lose the tiebreaker against almost every one of them, uh, as you see the playoff picture right there. McDuffie had an interesting point though. I'm paraphrasing it, OK. So I don't wanna put words in his mouth, but essentially what he said among a lot of things was, we don't react well when they call a penalty against us. And if they call a penalty, whether we like it or not, we just have to accept it and move on. And I was so glad, and again, I'm it's not a direct word for a quote, but I love the fact that McDuffie said that A he's a great player. B, he kind of gave you an inside look at what I've been talking about. And that is, you know, the gilded life that the Chiefs have been living in the Mahomes era where all the big calls have gone in their favor historically, which is why you go to 7 consecutive AFC Championship games, 3 consecutive Super Bowls, 5 overall, etc. etc. right? Like they've never not been to an AFC championship game since Mahomes became their starting quarterback, which is crazy, and they deserve a lot of credit for that and the mini dynasty that they were because they're not anymore. But when McDuffie says to you, we don't react well when they throw flags against us, just feeds into my narrative for the last 3 or 4 years, and that is they've never done that to you. You've always been the benefactor of an outrageous call, a crazy call, a call in the biggest moment of a game that has always gone the Chiefs' way. This year it hasn't gone their way. Now you can make an argument that they. got screwed by the refs in the loss against Dallas on Thanksgiving, and I'm with you on that. The far majority of calls that were questionable went Dallas's way. And if you want to gripe about that, you know, I'm, you got, I got deaf ears because I don't wanna hear Chiefs fans complain about officiating, much like for a long time, I don't want to hear cowboy fans complaining about officiating because they got the calls and Brady's Patriots got the calls because that's what happens. And you've gotten all the calls. But the fact that McDuffie put words to it just to me plays into the fact that for everyone that hates me for keeping the narrative alive, that's the reality and the reality you have to come to terms with if you're in Kansas City, which I'm, I know I'm repetitive about, but I'm gonna say it again, you have not won a single Super Bowl on merit. Not one. And I don't mean that you didn't win a specific Super Bowl game on merit. I mean the journey to the Super Bowl. Every Super Bowl that the Chiefs have gone to, I can show you a handful of games, not just one, in which they wouldn't have gotten there without the help of the officials. And I'm not saying good calls. Good calls are good calls. If you commit a whole. penalty, it should be called. If you commit a defensive pass interference, it should be called. But there have been so many ghost penalties called that have benefited the Kansas City Chiefs, and now McDuffie's telling you they don't know what to do when that happens. They're completely unprepared for the referee's calling the game evenly or in the other team's favor, and I love it. And the fact that McDuffie's acknowledging it, if you're a diehard Chiefs fan. Now you got nothing left to say because one of your best players is telling you we are immature and unprepared when we don't get the calls in our favor.
