all right guys let's get to some stuff on the field the Chiefs can become the first NFL team to win three consecutive League titles since Vince Lombard's Packers in 1967 Joe are these just the guys to do it I mean as we sit here right now I would say they're the team to beat still um but as we all know it's why there's Flex scheduling uh with with the jobs we do on TV what looks good in in May and a schedule or in August even after preseason you're one injury away from the entire narrative and the feel for a conference or League changing so I mean Patrick Mahomes is otherworldly so in my mind yeah I mean they're the team to beat in the AFC I think San Francisco is still the team to beat in the NFC uh but again we are a long way away from January and uh we'll see where we are when that comes around but if the question is asked right now can they will they my answer would be yes Mike they're the team to be Andy Reid always finds with every team he's been with finds a way to have just a little bit of a new Edge and wrinkle to the offense that highlights the talents of the guys on his roster and keeps the guys who've been there for a long time sharp and with an edge and ready to find a new frontier offensively but what Steve spagnolo did with a young defense last year is the defensive coord coordinator really set them apart a little bit so they feel like they have the fewest questions going into the season compared to the other teams but you're one Injury One untimely injury away from things changing uh so that's the one unknown but I I'm with Joe as of now that's the team that has the most answers that are in the affirmative for me to say that's the best team in the NFL going into the season Kevin and can they survive a rugged AFC see look at the great quarterbacks literally every team has some prominent person under Center um quarterbacking their team surviving uh just their conference and their week to week Target on their back is going to be Monumental but it was last year you know their regular season last year was not great and I think we all remember the Christmas game in Arrowhead against the Raiders and they thought there is no way they're going to collect themselves and make a run but sure enough with that coach and that quarterback and the resolve they had in minus 29 degree weather Mike you were there and Arrowhead uh in Kansas City they survived that uh which was an unhuman type of game weatherwise then they go to Buffalo and then they go to Baltimore so they gather themselves in the footprint of the playoffs and when the games mattered most and showing I in that kind of resolve I thought was uh just incredible inedible and they truly were the champion that they were crowned later on in February Kevin I would add to it in in this manner the Mystique is back with Kansas City all of us experienced it with New England different iterations of the Patriots where you felt the Mystique at home they felt unbeatable the community backed them in a manner that made them so Invincible Kevin knows firsthand in Kansas City what Chiefs football means there but now when you travel and you feel that energy there's a different vibe and Buzz when the Chiefs are in town when Patrick momes and Travis Kelce are there so I do think there's a special quality with this team they are the team on the mountain top everybody is trying to get to that place to match what has been such an incredible run now Ian uh none of you in fact mentioned mentioned another member of that cast of characters around the Chiefs uh when you see Taylor Swift pop up in your monitor and she's in the stadium and you've got to think you know what's happening on social media you know what everybody's saying are they you know somebody's going to be unhappy there are too many shots there are too few shots what do you thinking Joe when you see her at the stadium I think of what Kevin said earlier being a girl Dad I've got daughters that are 28 and 25 they just saw her in London uh clearly my daughters live a really rough life uh and I know that they've told me many times Dad I know you think you're funny okay we we know you think you're a funny guy but when she comes up on the screen don't try to make a joke CU you will get crucified for anything you say and you do not want Taylor Swift's Army coming after you so I've never been I've never been in that situation I I haven't to this point we've got two games at Arrowhead this year my daughters have already looked at Taylor's uh schedule they believe she will be there so maybe 2024 is my time to do a game with Taylor Swift in the crowd and when that time comes I will not make a joke I will take it very seriously and and I will tell the world how in love they are and how much better the whole thing has made the National Football League [Music]
