We're very fortunate to be here, but Veach and his team is remarkable how they was able to

manipulate the contract situation and keep us all together, you know, especially when Pat

texts me talking about he left money on the table. That's still baffled to me to the day. How in the

hell you leave money on the table when you got a half a billion dollar contract.

I still don't get it, but, you know, some way they figured it out, you know.

Well, Chris, when you sign for 50 years, you get a half billion dollar contract.

And I know Patrick Holmes didn't sign for that long, but you keep throwing years onto the back end.

It's easier to get it to a half billion. When you look at the cash flow, and I don't want to get into the weeds here, but just Chris, in the event that you're watching, first of all, good luck next week and the Super Bowl. Second of all, look at the breakdown for Ryan Tannihill over the first four years versus Patrick Mahomes. Tannihil makes more in the first four years than Mahomes does. It's all spread out, backloaded, long-term deal. That's how you get to a half billion. And Mahomes did leave money on the table. I remember when they did that deal, I'm thinking why they held to do that deal. Well, hey, one of the reasons you do that deal, you're back in the Super Bowl because you're able to hold your team together and they're going to be able to hold a team that together as long as they want Chris. I don't want to, because I know how hard it is to get back, but are we really

going to be stunned if a year from now we're having the same conversation here are the chiefs again?

No, I will not be. And I mean, they, as you heard me say all off season, I always felt like they were a team that would thrive in this environment, that they liked it.

I think you agreed with me at the time.

They have a showmanship about them where I never thought it was going to be like, oh, we won the Super Bowl.

Now let's take our foot off the gas pedal and just enjoy it and start sipping pinocaladas.

Okay.

I just wanted to throw that in there on a Monday.

But I feel like they're the opposite.

Oh, we're the kings.

This is awesome.

Let's win it again and be the kings again.

I just think they relish that.

And I think they relish being the biggest show in the NFL and constantly entertaining people

and showing what they have and proving us all wrong.
