A picture may be worth a thousand words but…
Not everybody has the time or inclination to kill 40 minutes sorting through online videos to get to a handful of fun highlights they can digest in a few seconds.
So, thanks to our pals on the Left coast, enjoy…
“In-mourning 49ers’ fans aren’t eager to relive Sunday’s devastating loss, but George Kittle provides a compelling reason to watch NFL Films’ behind-the-scenes look at Super Bowl LIV,” the Chronicle begins.
“The Chiefs won the game, but the All-Pro tight end stole this 40-minute show.
“Kittle, among a host of Mic’d Up players, competed with a blend of humor, heart and joy, often wisecracking as if he was speaking with reporters in the locker room on a Wednesday during Week 7.”
Now on to the show:
“On the 49ers’ first offensive drive, Kittle, just before going in motion, checked out defensive end Frank Clark.
“It was part of Kittle’s ongoing back-and-forth with the trash-talking Clark that provides some of the best moments.”
Frank Clark is a “trash talker?”
I did not know that

“After Kittle blocked Clark at the end Raheem Mostert’s 11-yard run in the second quarter, Clark screamed at Kittle: ‘You ain’t good enough. See me? I’m the only D-end you can’t block.’
“Kittle calmly responded with deadpan confusion: ‘But you didn’t make the tackle. I blocked you … That was dumb.'”
*** *** ***
:In the fourth quarter, after Clark wasn’t near the play on a five-yard run by Mostert, Clark barked at Kittle: ‘You can’t block me!’
“Kittle, again, calmly: ‘Make a play.’
George Kittle
“At one point, Kittle, presumably talking about Clark, asked an official what his nemesis had said about him.
“Official: ‘He said you’re a good guy.’
“Kittle, excitedly, looked in direction of his admirer: ‘What? Really? You told him I was a good guy?'”
*** *** ***
“Kittle had more good lines than catches. He had four receptions for 36 yards, with a 42-yard catch wiped out by a debatable offensive pass-interference penalty just before halftime.
“Just before that play, Kittle, in his stance, scanned the field and presumably anticipated more double-coverage: ‘Oh, c’mon, leave me alone,’ he said prior to beating safety Daniel Sorenson down the right sideline.”
*** *** ***
“Kittle’s mood, of course, darkened after the Chiefs outscored the 49ers 21-0 in the fourth quarter…
“After the game, Kittle, on the field filled with players, coaches, family members and confetti, delivered a message to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, through offensive tackle Cameron Erving: ‘Hey, if you see Kelce, tell him I say, ‘Hi.’ I can’t find him.’
Added Kittle: ‘Drink a beer for me.’”
*** *** ***
** Kyle Shanahan after Patrick Mahomes escaped the pocket in the third quarter, sprinted right and dove out of bounds for a five-yard gain on third-and-5: ‘He’s so good. Wow.’”
** Frank Clark in the first half: “They pay Jimmy (Garoppolo) all that damn money to run the ball.”
*** *** ***
“Kittle, after the game’s biggest play, Mahomes’ 44-yard completion to Tyreek Hill on third-and-15 with Kansas City trailing, 20-10, midway through the fourth quarter: ‘What the (expletive). What happened?’”
Said Shanahan: “Oh, my God. Damn.”
“See me?”
– you play? Finally noticed you game’s end (had to look quick – see first caption)
CAPTION THAT PIC #1
– the mouth that roared ‘Charmin’ Clark makes the only tackle he managed Superbowl 54* (taken from official stats)
“I’m the only D-end you can’t block. You ain’t good enough.”
– fairness to Frank, isn’t used to being blocked by a TE: kelce the klown’s been in KC for 7 years and he hasn’t made a block yet, game or practice…
CAPTION THAT PIC #2
– in just his third year and already the NFL’s best and most complete TE… Kittle
😎
Evidence (exhibit A ‘old idle’ Clark) affirming George Kittle blocks defenders like solar eclipse blocks sun, kelce the klown blocks like border-less wall Mexico does intruders:
Tale of the Tape… crushing the ‘kelce the klown is the best te the NFL’ fallacy
RECEIVING
Kittle only 4th most targeted TE (107)… klown most targeted (136)
Kittle value above the average TE 21.9%… klown rated only 15.9%
Kittle catch rate was 79%… klown’s catch rate was only 71%
Kittle dropped 1 pass in 2019… klown dropped 8 passes
Catches, yards, tds, games played
Kittle 85 1053 5 playing only ’14’ games [1 td every 2.8 games]
klown 97 1229 5 playing in all 16 games [1 td every 3.2 games]
“Yeah but, yeah but, yeah but”… it gets worse: Kittle also had to work with a lower-rated QB, yet still bettered kelce the klown
mahomes 105.3 rate 7th ranked – Qbr 78.0 ranked 2nd
garropollo 102.0 rate 8th ranked – Qbr 60.2 ranked 12th
Well, that cinches it…
When only the best will do (don’t ask Clark – just watch him flail)…
Kittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt-le !!!
😎
Now do exact same lines for the playoffs and Super Bowl. Dare you. Actually double dog dare you!
Careful what you wish for, David…

More bandwidth needed HC… STAT!

Since K “I’m permanently trapped in the past” appears to be stuck in his 1960’s laboratory trying to figure out how to spin/answer this…. here are their post season stats:
Kittle – 8 catches. 13 targets. 71 yards. 0 tds
Kelce – 19 catches. 22 targets. 215 yards. 4 tds
Use your antiquated logic/analysis to spin those numbers.
Having proven his argument with no refutation offered (man I get tired of winning all the time), The Venerable One ‘Kerouac’ turns an youngin – affirms K while also being someone ‘double dog davey’ can identify with:
Pro Football Focus millennial Michael Renner – current lead draft analyst/research pro at PFF.
Background, Renner is a Notre Dame graduate and resident the Cincinnati*, Ohio area –
(*the place kelce the klown perfected his spastic ‘hey look at me everybody!’ gyrations the throes gran mal seizure… and second rate/second best TE the NFL also-ran status)
– millennial Mike offers an current 2020 ranking the NFL’s best TE, and the winner is…
George Kittle

… proving that there might yet be hope this lost generation, pro football fandumb… speaking of said: ok triple d… roll over… now mess yourself again – good boy!
… your turn

What? Doesn’t matter. Chiefs Superbowl Champs!
Alas, nod the start the corrupted age of $ports the dawn of 1969, chiefs (like fraudroyals) have never won any legit championship Kansas City sports history… and thus never will be able to same as the other pretenders since and to date sport every/continuing unto the end of time… nod Savoir-Faire ‘the taint of * asterisks * is everywhere! ‘
1969* 1985* 2015* 2019*
That said, if you wish compare ‘taint’ and *asterisks* SF vs KC, even with the advantage last half century plus of compromise:
49ers have won 5* Championships/Giants 3*, to KC’s 2* and 2* football/baseball – curses, foiled yet again and e’ermore – D’OH! and woe is we, kaycee… 🙁
😎
BTW Kittle is an awesome player and if he stays healthy will probably join Kelce in the Hall of Fame one day.
True enuff
Not based on merit kelce the klown won’t (would need a ticket get into Canton)… ditto the rest of today’s ‘everybody’s a hall of famer’ jokes – aren’t any of them can carry the shoes of #84 Fred Arbanas who remains the greatest TE in Chiefs history… it’s not even close.
