And yeah, that admission he makes, advice he would give his rookie self. Very honest. Poignant even.
I almost thought he was gonna tear up a bit. The Kelce's were stunned by that story. Jason kinda saved it, but boy, you could tell there was about to be a seriously uncomfortable silence.
It was a real, authentic moment of honesty and regret. I mean, I've liked Shannon Sharp the last couple of years because he's been beating the Mahomes drum, but that one moment right there showed a humanity that I would never have associated with him. I like the guy.
Oh, and I loved how he was basically telling Travis to get real in his life... [Reply]

Also, Sharpe said "God rest his soul" but seriously, there should be a special circle of hell for incompetent morons. Fuck GRob.
I'm not gonna bother to look it up but I know Grob was d-coordinator of the Broncos when Sharpe was on the Broncos and they won fake super bowl victories by cheating. [Reply]

10/20/2002 -- Definitely a G-Rob era game. And of course the Career Day Defense was in full swing; Chiefs managed to blow a 34-20 4th quarter lead and lose it in overtime.
I didn't remember him going back to Denver either. [Reply]
Loved the episode. He was just very open and authentic. The love and respect he had and still has for his brother is unbelievable. I also did not know that he gave his first SB ring to his brother and how important doing that was for him. Forgot how much of a beast Sterling was before an injury cut his career short. It was also good to see how the TE position and responsibilities changed from when he was drafted to now. [Reply]
So I went to the live podcast at the KC Music Hall. I didn't realize that it wasn't live on youtube as well. I'm sure it is coming soon. The guests are amazing, and the absolute best part: They intro the podcast like its the draft and announce "Please welcome NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell" and everyone thinks its a bit. Everyone boos and yells out a bunch of trash talk....and sure enough Roger Goodell walks out awkwardly and everyone's like "Oh shit it wasn't a joke". He was a good sport and had a few funny one liners during his intro. [Reply]
