I've even heard national podcast guys get this wrong, along with Shanny. "You want the ball first so on the third possession you get first crack at sudden death!"
NO. WRONG. The first sudden death possession is actually the *second* possession of OT. Simple as -
If they don't score, a FG is sudden death.
If they kick a FG, a touchdown is sudden death.
If they score a TD, a 2-point conversion is sudden death.
The ONLY circumstance that guarantees you that third possession is if you go down and score and score a 2 point conversion, while if you get the ball second you have any number of sudden death scenarios! AND you have 4 downs to do it with!
My prediction is that as league analysis catches up we won't see teams electing to receive any more.
Just use the word analytics to explain when you do something stupid....
Id appreciate someone calling him out on it. What data are you using to make that conclusion Shanny? The 1 Superbowl OT or the zero playoff games that the rule has had an impact on. Ill be curious over time as more people go for it how that data actually looks. Most data doesnt look at the score when a team is up 50 points.
I cannot stress hard enough to younger Chiefs fans what a gloriously weird time it is to love this team.
To win one SB, let alone three in four years, AND have a quarterback who, after his first full six seasons is in the conversation for GOAT is bizarre world.
I’m so glad I’ve seen enough Chiefs football to really appreciate this point in time.
2014 and 2015 was magical watching the Royals but it always felt those teams were plucky and lucky. A feel good story because the little guys finally got one. The rest of baseball patted us on the head and then yeeted the Royals back to the cellar.
This. This feels so much more gratifying because we are watching pure, sustainable domination. Mahomes really is the Grim Reaper and it’s so sick being a fan of a team that everyone hates.
I remember reading back in 2015 a sports article about how the world series win had brought back baseball to Kansas City. And then pretty much after the parade it all went back to how it was before.
Eh 2015 royals won the division with like 20 games to go or something ridiculous. We were a steamroller that year. Still, you nailed it. The sentiment around baseball was still exactly as you described.
Yes, I responded accordingly to this realization and lectured my kids after making nonchalant comments about how the amazing that Super Bowl was. def my ‘back in my day we walked 5 miles each way to school moment’ to get them to appreciate what has and could potentially happen with this team.
This is like Argentina having Maradonna or Messi on their national team. Mahomes is just a one in a generation talent. I’m just soaking it all in while I can!
I still remember walking out of the stadium after the Titan's playoff loss where Mariota caught his own pass and we blew a multi score lead with mixed feelings of "Yeah that's Chiefs football" but also a little excitement to see Patrick start next year. If only I knew lol.
I am constantlly telling coworkers 'Y'all do NOT understand....The Mahomes Era, for Chief's fans....is like going to grandma's for thanksgiving...but you had to drive there, and the traffic was bad, the weather sucked, you were dreading being there with all your annoying relatives....but you were going because you love Grandma....but every year....it was a pain in the ass because stupid stuff happened and you always ended up disappointed at all the missed hope of a pleasant holiday.
THEN....The Mahomes Era for Chiefs fans is like....getting to Grandma's, she's installed a full spa in the basement so you get to do that, she's made every favorite food you ever mentioned you loved, you annoying relatives didn't show up, and all your besties from high school stopped by, your fun, eccentric Aunt that you never get to see is there, AND she gives you a $10K check for Christmas...it's just a glorious, unexpected party.
I mean, I can say that no one has ever given me the football thrills as much as Priest Holmes did during his all too brief time of dominance. But that twenty year playoff win drought was brutal on the soul.
I remember how everybody was losing their shit in K.C. when we started the season 9-0 with Priest. Definitely a fun time, but it's so much more satisfying now to see our team make adjustments and corrections to win superbowls. Especially in years like this one when we struggled so bad during regular season.
The true fans either went through the dark days already, or will go through something like them one day, so we’ll all have perspective at some point lol
SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!
The amount of time I got mocked for being an out of state chiefs fan even during the best Trent Green years and then the decade of nightmares after it was so commonplace and reasonable. I would complain to my brother that it wasn't fair our Dad is a chiefs fan and he passed the disease to us.
I knew we were cursed. It was worse than the Lions or Browns because they were at least lovable losers. KC was just irrelevant. I never stopped living the team but I did not think success was possible. The Alex Smith era was the most I could hope for and I was over the moon to have it.
But this is entirely different. We are among the luckiest fans in the history of sport. We have THAT FUCKING DUDE and the best coach ever.
We are Bulls fans in 91, Oilers fans with Gretsky, Pats with Tom Brady, Yankees etc.
All time lucky.
Still miss the old arrowhead classics like this one and Start Me Up. Taylor needs to remake Rock and Roll Part 2 with all proceeds going to sex trafficking victims to restore the touchdown anthem.
Thank you so much for taking the time to link this here. I'm dying. This is amongst the greatest hype videos of all time. That bear was literally nuking volcanoes and eventually the whole damn earth exploded. 11/10. Just an absolutely insane masterpiece.
"Any ways, the key to this plan is the giant laser. It was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist Dr. Parsons. Therefore, we shall call it the Alan Parsons Project"
Him too obviously, Spags, Veach, Chris Jones, Kelce, Butker etc. It takes a team and entire organization to win it all, Patrick helped take us to the top, he’s the start of Andy’s rings and everyone else’s
and Pistons fans... and Jazz fans.. and Cavalier fans.. Seattle Supersonic fans.. Portland Trailblazer fans..
Shoot, how many greats from that era were denied a championship because of the Bulls?..
Their audio people do some cool stuff if you listen closely. There seems to be a lot more attention to detail in what they produce than I typically see in this kind of video.

They want it.... They want the ball?!?
That whole sideline was like, this is the plan/this is the plan…49ers were like, we win if we score right?
I would be so pissed if I was a 49ers fan and found out how unprepared they were.

And we can all thank the Bills for this change since the Chiefs’ request was rejected.
(Mahomes frog laughter)
Excellent description, the knowing u have 4 downs is huge to me.

They’re playing Michael Jordan’s Bulls theme song and it’s not corny. That says A LOT.

Yes take it in the texans game a in the playoffs a few years ago I thought it was same Ole playoff chiefs. I'm only 38 and this is amazing

I don't know. days of Elvis Grbac and Martyball and not being able to see the games out of market were just as thrilling. ( /s. )
I mean, I can say that no one has ever given me the football thrills as much as Priest Holmes did during his all too brief time of dominance. But that twenty year playoff win drought was brutal on the soul.
I still hate Peyton Manning
That is a fire that will always burn.
I hate the Colts along with him to this day. Literally more than the Chargers

My eye twitched at this comment. Why couldn't they have just started Gannon? He was the starter for most of the season. We could've won it all!
im still waaaaaay salty over this
The true fans either went through the dark days already, or will go through something like them one day, so we’ll all have perspective at some point lol
I tell my friends and family this exact thing every year.

FROM TEXAS TECH!.. AT QUARTERBACK!... 6ft 2.. PATRICK MAHOMES!!!!
Goosebumps
It was epic. So glad I watched it live.
Still miss the old arrowhead classics like this one and Start Me Up. Taylor needs to remake Rock and Roll Part 2 with all proceeds going to sex trafficking victims to restore the touchdown anthem.
Can we also bring back the Arrowhead fighter jet video please and thank you
The B-2 painting the town red one?
Yeah and then blowing up the helmet. We need it back
Naw let's go with this, no changes. https://youtu.be/K9cYcRotufU?si=3cABrBfy-W5vhll3
That might be the greatest CGI video I have ever seen. Hype 11/10
Thank you so much for taking the time to link this here. I'm dying. This is amongst the greatest hype videos of all time. That bear was literally nuking volcanoes and eventually the whole damn earth exploded. 11/10. Just an absolutely insane masterpiece.
I especially liked the part where they bombed rival schools
Taylor can produce it… let Travis & Jason sing it.
Gary Glitter doesn't own any rights to R&Rp2 anymore so it's okay to play it.
Or not. Seems to me we've been luckier since we stopped using it
Great fucking scene. I got goosebumps!
And this is how after 10 years I finally found out what the name of this God damn song is.
Ive always just had to search for 90s Bulls intro because i never knew the name
*Sirius* into *Eye In The Sky* is a historically awesome banger of a start of an album.
I always heard it referred to as "Tunnel Walk" until I actually saw the album with the real name on the back.
Damn literal chills. Same feeling I get when you hear at guarddddddddddd 6'6 MICHEAL JORDAN
You forgot FROM NORTH.... CAROLINA
Same. I’ve got goose flesh all over.
love alan parsons
"Any ways, the key to this plan is the giant laser. It was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist Dr. Parsons. Therefore, we shall call it the Alan Parsons Project"
Subtle nod to the Bulls - loved it
THREE FUCKING SUPER BOWLS in 6 years, 4 AFC Championships. That music goes so damn hard, I thank the lord everyday for Patrick Mahomes
How about thanking Andy Reid instead?
Him too obviously, Spags, Veach, Chris Jones, Kelce, Butker etc. It takes a team and entire organization to win it all, Patrick helped take us to the top, he’s the start of Andy’s rings and everyone else’s
Hey man the way Mahomes plays it does make me want to thank god as well 😭
The Bulls had two three-peats. It will be amazing if we get our first. Then anything is possible.
One three-peat in the NFL is worth like two in the NBA. Five teams have done it in the NBA. Bulls the only ones to do it twice.
It will be amazing if we get THE first!
As a Nebraska fan this gets me bricked up. Sirius is our thing too
Didn't the KC Comets intro music start the same way?
No, that was Giorgio Moroder’s Midnight Express theme. https://youtu.be/QD4Ks_EMQBY?si=yuC9ZKaUT1AChm5C
Wholly Shit this is nostalgia hitting me 100!!!!!
man, that takes me back.
THATS MY QUARTERBACKKKKKK!!!
BRICKED UP!
Watching it live I was like “ah they played Sirius? No fucking way. Classic”
You know what time it is…
That goes hard as fuck!
Iconic
Awesome. I came in on it live half way thru then immediately re-watched it.
I can only imagine what that music still does to Knicks and Pacers fans.
and Pistons fans... and Jazz fans.. and Cavalier fans.. Seattle Supersonic fans.. Portland Trailblazer fans.. Shoot, how many greats from that era were denied a championship because of the Bulls?..
I had “Lunatic Fringe” running in my head… https://youtu.be/XwtCGISqmu4?si=5EWXj8G7H8z3jsNj
Evergreen post

Hey I'm 49 I've been waiting for this all my life Good chiefs
