| 0:00.0 | This weekend was brilliant, and it was brilliant for two reasons. |
| 0:03.8 | A, all the games were competitive until the very end. |
| 0:06.2 | Obviously, the Patriot Charger game wasn't great. |
| 0:08.2 | Right. |
| 0:08.7 | And we touched on this a little bit earlier, but the best thing that also happened is there is no top story that questions the integrity of the sport. |
| 0:17.4 | And that seems to happen a lot in the NFL these days where the thing that the national |
| 0:22.8 | audience is talking about is some kind of bad call that calls in a question the integrity of the |
| 0:28.5 | game. It doesn't mean everything was flawless where there are a couple of calls throughout these |
| 0:32.9 | weekends of games where you could say, hey, that was a personal foul, or that was this or that was that, |

| 0:43.8 | You walked away saying, that was great, that was entertaining, debating the legacies of |

| 1:07.5 | It's hard to say, like, this team is going to be, it used to be, Kansas City Chiefs, they're winning the Super Bowl. Right. And if they don't, at least they're getting there. I can't say that about any of these games. I agree. I have zero idea. We clinched officially two new teams in the Super Bowl yesterday. Yes, exactly. And how often, right, which is awesome. And how often do we, A, get that or B, officially get that after Wild Card weekend? |
| 1:32.6 | Usually there's at least one team, Kansas City, who takes it all the way to the championship game. |
| 1:37.9 | We are sitting here on January 12th with an entire divisional round and championship weekend in which we know for sure we're getting |
| 1:45.3 | a new Super Bowl. And I agree with you, Tiki. I remember bringing this up back in October to you, |
