Yes, both he and Len have been doing this for some time. Not sure why, don't know if they don't want to be pegged as homers but its ******** annoying. I'd rather they act like homers to a fault than whatever they are doing now.

Mitch even did the "Touchdown COLTS" in the same manner as he does for the Chiefs but maybe with a little lesser level of enthusiasm but I was like...dude who are you pulling for here Mitch?

Len is getting especially annoying with the three phrases he uses over and over again.

Listen to 10 minutes of a mizzou broadcAst. And try not to stab you eyes out. Then any NFL game. Then the Chiefs. Our guys do great if not the best.

I'll add that his closeness to AR might give him more information than the average fan, but in the end his loyalty to AR and sucking up to AR is as much a requirement of his job as it might be true too.

He talks a lot about hurt. Great sound-bite material for sure, but I don't seem to recall seeing any anger, fighting, yelling or even a thrown helmet "out of frustration." Did I miss something? Hell, I'd love to see that kind of emotion, it might make me thing these guys care. All i saw was a bunch of typical coach-speak and players telling us what we all knew (IOW, a waste of an interview). "We didn't execute and ge the job done" and "credit to the Colts, they got the job done" and things of that ilk are just silly. So this seemed as much scripted as anything else. I'm left to wonder if he wasn't looking at the camera because he was reading from a teleprompter.

"How will they respond"? LOL, most are prolly headed to Cancun or a sunny beach location, and Bowe is headed to Denver! And they "will respond to Andy Reid like they have all year"? OK.....It begs the question, why was he asking them to suck blow big leads. I think Andy needs to get A LOT meaner if this is true.

Sorry to dis on the guy's interview, but I think the fans are hurting more than anybody who gets paid by the Chefs franchise. And the lack of documented emotion about this most egregious of losses is pretty telling.

well, teams are a refection of their coach, right.

true, but the years on Len are becoming audibly evident.

Mitch is no idiot - He seems a legitimately solid person.

I will second this... And second anything that says nobody wearing Chefs red deserves what just happened.
