Burpo The Mad Clown

I'll call it now. Chiefs win. Andy and Spags have this long to prepare. The defense is playing out of their minds. Pat is Pat. They're peaking just in time. Rice is ready to be #1 Looks like some key D players for Bills will be out.

Here we go:

NBC said the game, which was streamed exclusively on Peacock, drew an average of about 23 million viewers Saturday night. It reached about 27.6 million viewers in total and peaked at more than 24.6 million in the second quarter. Saturday was also Peacock’s largest day in the service’s history. It set a record with 16.3 million concurrent devices streaming. NBC has started broadcasting select games only on Peacock this season, though Saturday’s game in Kansas City was the first playoff game that was exclusively on a streaming service — which is probably a big part of why the game set a record. Fans located in Kansas City and Miami also had the game broadcasted on their local NBC networks for free. I broke down and paid for Peacock for this game. Comcast customers get it for $2.99 a month and I figured it was worth three bucks to watch a Chiefs playoffs game. But, in so doing I helped to inflate these streaming numbers, thereby influencing the greedy dirtbags at the NFL to force fans to pay for more games by way of streaming. Sorry guys.

My oldest friend, Mike, is a Dolphins fan. We were best friends in 1971 when the Dolphins beat the Chiefs on Christmas. We've stayed friends all these years, falling in and out of touch. Tonight, he's coming over so we can watch the game together. How cool is that?

Ok, I just broke down and subscribed to Peacock for this game. They offer Comcast customers a discount so it’s only $2.99 a month. I’ll watch the game then unsubscribe. You all are invited over to watch. Bring pizza. I like Canadian bacon.

I bet MVS will be on the field much of the game. The weather will ground a lot of the air game and he's a superb blocker. Look for some short play action his way to mix it up.

WU forecast for kickoff: -1 and dropping with 14 mph winds. There's gonna be some tough fans at Arrowhead tonight.

Nice.

And Fisher was far better than anyone at LT since.

I dropped the Sunday Ticket ten years ago. It was stupid expensive back then. I can’t imagine how much it costs now. If I can’t get the game I tune into Mitch on SiriusXM and listen that way. Get chores done while the game is going. No additional cost.

The NFL is so greedy for cash that they deliberately make watching the games a problem for fans. Professional boxing PPV’d their way into irrelevance. When fans stop paying and discover there is something else to do maybe the NFL will suffer the same fate.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. It seems every draft there’s some stud LT that goes elsewhere.

Ok, turns out I have this Plex box from Comcast. It comes with Peacock, I think, but not Peacock premium. I’ll check to see if I can get the game. If I can, I’ll let you all know and you can come over Saturday night to watch it. Bring food.

Absolute garbage.

According to Andy, it was Kelce's call.

Yep. I prefer Miami.

I’m reading a book. This is a bye week as far as I’m concerned. I just hope no one else gets hurt.

Yeah, I’m torn on this. I wanted to see him get his 1000 yards. But, he’s not getting any younger and a slight twist of the ankle could doom him for the playoffs.

Mahomes was very average this year and in no way deserves the Pro Bowl. His election was based on previous years' performance.

Who even votes for the Pro Bowl now? If it's still the players it's meaningless. I've heard players say they vote for guys they went to college with and there's a lot of "if you vote for me, I'll vote for you" going on. They've also said they only know the players they've played against and have no idea about players on other teams. Fans just vote for their favorite players, regardless of how their season is going. The Pro Bowl ceased to be a thing, really, decades ago.

Butker? Another AFC kicker had a better year?

It was miserable enough watching it from my living room. I can’t imagine actually being there.

I want Buffalo and I want the Chiefs to go full Georgia vs Fla State on them.

I'm as exasperated at MVS as anyone, but WRs do more than just catch the ball. MVS is an excellent downfield blocker and I suspect that has much to do with his playing time.

What a weird piece of good fortune the Chiefs went straight from Jan to Nick, while I remember other teams struggling with their kickers for years.
