This has a chance to be another very special season, so I figured it would be nice to have one place for us to communally dump Chiefs-related video clips, tweets, articles, podcasts, etc... from the national media this season.
Stuff like Pat McAfee Show, Nick Wright & First Things First, Kay Adams, First Take, GMFB, Mic'd Up, Inside the NFL, Turning Point, Total Access, The Ringer, The Athletic, ESPN+, MMQB, etc...
Rather than endlessly scrolling every media outlet daily, if we crowdsource it to CP, we'll all have one thread to check in on for awesome content. If something is huge & noteworthy, certainly feel free to launch it's own thread.
If it dies, it dies. But if this works, maybe we can do one of these annually so we can track down old takes from years past.
Referees Annoyed As Football Game Keeps Interrupting Their Penalty Calls

KANSAS CITY, KS — Referees at a recent Chiefs game were reportedly less than thrilled to find that an NFL football game kept interrupting their penalty calls.
According to several refs at the game, the teams of players lining up and trying to move the football across the field "totally messed up" their attempts to keep calling random calls in favor of Patrick Mahomes.
"I blame the coaches — always trying to get their players to get another play going," said head referee Chut Brand as he adjusted his inch-and-a-half thick glasses. "We're all busy here trying to invent calls people have never even seen before so that our homie Mahomes can kick butt, but all of these loser football players kept getting in the way. Really, really disrespectful."
While fans have tended to take rather dim views of the referees' complaints, one source here referred to as "Matrick Pahomes" to protect his identity claims that the refs' grievance is completely valid.
At publishing time, NFL referees had decided to teach those upstart players a real lesson by awarding the next three games to Mahomes as a penalty for starting a play. [Reply]

The NFL also has a shared gate receipt system, where 34% of each team's ticket revenue goes to a general pool that is then shared equally among all 32 teams. In 2023, each team received $25 million from this system.
That new stadium ticket pricing keeps owners very happy. SELL SELL SELL [Reply]
