| 0:00.0 | The 72 championship game, Kev, was better. It was New Year's Eve, and it was a party unlike any I've ever been to. Thank you for that. Tom, I appreciate that. A lot of you tweeting in. Phone lines are open. RFK is being demolished. It is being taken down sort of piece by piece. I don't know if you've seen |
| 0:22.0 | the pictures. I will tweet out some of the pictures that I've seen. In fact, I just retweeted one of |
| 0:29.9 | them right now. And look, in five, six years, we'll have a beautiful new stadium and a beautiful |
| 0:37.1 | new area in town. |
| 0:38.4 | And I think actually for me in many ways as a D.C. resident, just being able to do that to that area |
| 0:46.0 | of town will be so great for the city. I don't know how it pencils out ultimately, you know, how |
| 0:52.2 | much the team and Harris and company benefit from this more so than the city or vice versa. |

| 1:52.8 | NFC championship game. But the dolphins, the 72 dolphins, the undefeated 72 dolphins, had to play |
| 2:00.1 | the AFC championship game in three rivers at Pittsburgh |
| 2:03.8 | because it was that particular year was AFC Central. That's what the division was called |
| 2:10.5 | back then. The AFC Central, it was their year to host the AFC championship game if one |
| 2:17.3 | of their teams, a division winner, |
| 2:19.6 | Pittsburgh was, made it. So Miami won early in the day, and then Washington on a very mild |
