- At the risk of angering followers, one political thought. I don't get this idea that 12 random jurors were part of this grand conspiracy to weaponize the American legal system. They were 12 random people! Who the Trump lawyers had an opportunity to reject! 12 randos!My statement on President Trump trial verdict: Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was a purely political
- A reminder: the Chiefs faced the hardest postseason road to a title ever, based on regular-season DVOA of their opponents.
- Mahomes is the MVP right now.
- I'm a little annoyed that NBC keeps talking about social justice initiatives but nobody will address the booing in the pregame "moment of unity."
- Chiefs-Saints is the only NFL game this week with two teams that have winning records.
- Yeah, I'm feeling pretty confident this is the best offensive game in NFL history. Doing this against a top-5 defense from the regular season? Outstanding.
- So yeah, that win pretty much wins Coach of the Year for Belichick.

- Kansas City Chiefs are the first team to be top 5 in all three phases as of Week 7 since the 1999 Rams! No 4 offense No 5 defense No 2 special teams Others: 1984 Redskins, 1985 Bears, 1990 Giants, 1991 Redskins, 1996 Packers.
- There seems to be a lot of talk about how the Bills played a close game yesterday and therefore are in serious trouble. It was only four weeks ago that the Chiefs went to overtime against Houston. Houston!
