Pallandrome. That's my word of the day. Nothing personal. It's a palindrome. That's when a word is the same backwards and forwards like dad or mom.

0:16.2

The date of Super Bowl Sunday was a global palindrome. It was 0 to February, 0 to the second, 2020. When you put it the other way, it's 0 to 0 to 2020.

0:28.6

First time in 900 years. The next one is in 101 years in 2121. But the next one after that is the year 3,030.

0:45.6

So I just want to put this in a tiny bit of perspective. You will never see this again in your lifetime unless you're 0 right now and you live to a buck one.

0:52.6

Can you imagine in 1919 World War I that was 101 years ago the way the world has changed. When people look back 101 years from now in 2121, they'll look at the year 2020 the way we look at 1919. It's totally insane.

1:10.6

I can't even think about the world in 3,030. I can't even imagine global palindrome. My favorite word forwards backwards global. Why global because Europe does the date month day. We do month day. They do day month. So it's a palindrome everywhere.

1:28.6

I was focused on that while watching the Super Bowl. So Super Bowl Sunday to me is it's like a holiday right now whether you have to work or not is not really relevant because it's Super Bowl Sunday.

1:40.6

So I'm watching the game and I'm thinking about always one of the occupational hazards of my life is that I watch every game not as a fan anymore. I can't get back to just being a fan.

1:56.6

I'm watching it from a perspective of a former team president. I'm watching it thinking what is the front office doing right now. What are they thinking about?

2:03.6

What are they watching when they see Patrick Mahomes the first half just not sharp. They're saying to themselves of course not. This is makes perfect sense to me. It's hard to be a second year guy and win the Super Bowl.

2:18.6

It's hard to become the second youngest player ever to win the Super Bowl. It's hard to win an MVP and a Super Bowl ring. The age of 24. You're thinking yourself this is fine. We're building.

2:30.6

This is the Niners moment. Great season. We're ready to go. It brought me back to our postseason run where I was giving up as well when we were down in the series to the Cubs 3 to 1. I was done. We were going to lose.

2:42.6

But there was something about the chiefs that as a as a someone in the industry or as a fan. You don't realize what Patrick Mahomes has and I didn't realize it until yesterday.

2:54.6

And it had nothing to do with the fact that he had two great comebacks in the playoffs or that he's Pat Mahomes is son who I watched play and met.

3:04.6

Pat Mahomes has a pulse rate of 60. That's what I love about him. When you look at him my favorite type of player is the player whose face doesn't tell me the score.

3:18.6

I don't want to know if I'm up five runs or down five runs up to touchdowns or down to touchdowns. I don't want to be able to know anything from your face.

3:28.6

We would have therapists work on this with players. You've got to maintain. You've got to be even killed. You cannot get to upper two down in baseball especially where you play every single day.

3:41.6

Football I would think you should be able to get up and down because it's once a week. But the truth is as I watch the game Mahomes never looked dejected.

3:50.6

It's almost as though when they were down 10 in the fourth quarter without the ball. They were right where they wanted to be. Now of course that makes no sense because they needed a 21.4.

4:02.6

If you didn't watch the game you did watch the game right. What I love is everyone watches the game whether you're a football fan or not we tried to copy that in baseball just it's you can't copy it several takeaways I want to give you from this game number one.

4:16.6

The big guy coach Andy Reed. The guy was with Philly and then left Philly and then Philly won a Super Bowl then went to Kansas City.

4:25.6

Longest tenured coach with the most wins without a Super Bowl. Beloved by his players. He's the one who says when he goes to Miami wants to lose weight and then he says he's going to eat cheeseburgers.
