@atrupar Just once I'd love to see one reporter go off of on his ass.

[Rany Jazayerli @jazayerli]

Maybe I have become too focused on the impact that coaches have on a team's play, but it's hard to ignore the fact that the Chiefs offense went from "historic" to "excruciating to watch even when it's effective" the moment Matt Nagy became the Offensive Coordinator.

The #Chiefs spent an entire season figuring out how to win in every conceivable way possible. They are now figuring out every conceivable way to lose in a single game.

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

@NFL I realize the Chiefs won, but why wasn’t this a safety? No one downed the ball. The ball was taken out of the Broncos end zone by the Broncos returner. Touchback rule specifically requires that the ball be downed. Shouldn’t this have been 2 points?

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

Can you catch a kickoff and walk out of the back of the end zone for a touchback????? #Broncos

Just spent a month in Kansas City. The 3 weirdest things:

1) Everyone is super nice—almost to the point of feeling off.

Example: I'm in a gas station on the wrong side of town. Another customer who is 6'6", 250 lbs, and has face tattoos walks over and says, "Hi sir, they have a sale on Gatorade you might want to check out."

2) Nobody has a favorite BBQ place.

They like them all equally but have favorite items at each one. "Oh, I like the fries at KC Joe's and the brisket at..."

3) Everyone dresses like a tourist.

Go out on a random Tuesday, and everyone will have a "Kansas City" t-shirt on it. Entire stores are devoted to city merchandise. It's nuts.

Overall, great place. What did I miss?

Hands down his best moment: Walz gets Vance to refuse to answer whether Trump lost the election. And the fact that Pence didn’t agree to go along with the lie is the reason he’s not in the stage. For the first time tonight, Walz commanded the stage.

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

Walz is right and telling the truth, but is disorganized and appears flustered. Vance is just wrong, if not outright lying, about any number of things but is a polished and slick speaker. He is unfortunately winning this one in the eyes of huge numbers of Americans.

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

@StephByram I won’t survive another game like that one.

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

Cue the Cincy fans complaining about the refs for the next week.

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

@OnlineHyde Price of fur’s real good but them Canfields and McGees been feudin’ downriver spooking’ all my game!

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

On Star Trek day, take a moment to rewatch Cause and Effect. Appreciate the leadership and humility on display. Facing destruction, Picard asks his crew for options. He doesn’t pretend to know what he doesn’t. He listens and makes a call. And then owns it. Model leadership

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

@StephByram That’s $48 million per playoff loss!

[SlugNoodle 🅅 @RetweetableN14]

Where are my Trekkies?

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

@ShelfNerds I realize that most of these people wore these uniforms in timelines that either don’t exist or in another universe. I don’t care. You can’t tell me that Pike doesn’t wear the HELL out of that maroon.

@LoveHerMo Just checking in on this….

[Erik Beard @ErikHBeard]

@LoveHerMo @JaredRyanSears When he does, you will feel differently about him? Or have you already called the movers to get ready for that goalpost?
