Call it trash talk from Rich Eisen, then. He put out a disclaimer that he's not trash talking the Chiefs or wishing them ill will, but he didn't do this shit for the Chiefs when we met the Patriots in Week 1 years ago. He didn't go, "Boy, how wonderful would it be for the Chiefs to upset the Patriots and their ring ceremony Week 1? Both for them and for the fans, eh?" I don't think he did that shit once during the Patriots dynasty.
I get it. It's the Lions, and they got the opening night game. Okay, cool. Just ask Hutchinson, "Hey, are you excited to play the Super Bowl champs week 1? How cool is that?" Do some follow-up questions about their preparation, what they see in the Chiefs, yadda yadda yadda.
Instead he does this, "Do you get HARD when you think about sacking Patrick Mahomes, man???!!!" bullshit and had like three different questions all pertaining to the possibility of them beating the Chiefs.
Let it be known that those kinds of upsets Week 1 usually occur when the SB team doesn't see the challenging team coming. They go, "Eh, this team is good, but we're better" and they don't realize just how ****ing focused and determined the other team is to make it a show in that game. Rich and a bunch of other assholes are now rah-rahing the Lions to death. They're not picking them to win, no, but they're hyping them up hardcore, complete with all the kneecap biting references. Alex Smith didn't get this kind of encouragement and love. People just said, "Welp, Chiefs are gonna get their shit kicked in" and left it alone.
KC is paying attention. We know they pay attention.
