Angeles site of Super Bowl, 50 6, joining us now. Kansas City
Chiefs receiver. McColl Hardman.
I love the chain. Thank you. I love the chain. I loved.
I watch this guy. He'll try to take it. Yeah. Well, I mean
it's gonna be hard to take down. It is. Oh, you don't
think I can do it. You don't think I can pull it up here.
He's got the Aqib Talib arm strength, or you can rip it
right off you like a keep used to do. It's a different. It's
a different kind of link. You know,
my problem is if I did take it. I'm not going to run away from
Gonna catch me, so that's the problem. Yeah, you know, so I'm
not really up to no one situation, but good to have you
here. Mr. Appreciate it. Thank you Heaven. Yeah. Now you're
exciting player. We enjoy watching you the Kansas City
Chiefs. Certainly. Go ahead. Mike.
I didn't mean to jump. No, no, it's fine. We're just having
a conversation. That's how we do it. We talk about whatever we
want to talk about. And look you've been through this
experience as
a player. You've been through this experience. Now as a guy
who's
making some money and media,
surely you prefer to be a player. What's your biggest
Super Bowl memory?
I mean, I've been When we won against the 49ers stands out,
I don't know, just the come back in the game and right,
just just how we just finished the game off that we post to,
you know, I mean, but it's just probably the
end and feeling the confetti on the field. Yeah,
Family, come on the field, just crazy experience. What about
leg the Panic that you might have had in your body at that
time when you were down, 20 to 10 and it was like six minutes
left. Like did you think, did you feel like a pit
in your stomach? Did you?
There was never It doesn't seem like anyone says there was
Panic on the sidelines that day. It's never like what else
is never Panic? Yeah, because like,
how we how we how we think is like we know we can we can
score as offense. That we know we can school. We just we got
to do it, you know,
and we was down 2010 which is more. So like if they give us
a chance like it's going, they're going to have problems. But
that's what drives you guys are drives us. Absolutely crazy
about you guys. Like, just what you just said, like first half
last week. We find the gas pedal
and then the second half. What the hell happened in the AFC
champions. For I know in scored. I don't know. It's
amazing how you guys can look like the best offensive
football. Then go through a period where you just go.
What the hell happened? All right.
I don't know man. Just I think nothing was it wasn't clicking.
You know, I'm saying,
just had to be a whole lot better than this and have.
I don't know. Just we didn't get past the 50 on right now. Gone
over got no rhythm never got in a rhythm, never got anything
going down, putting out defensive bad situations, and
it's like,
and we had a chance, you know, the winning, but we just never
know, close it out, but it's no excuse for just got to be
better. No, sir. Jason mccole, there was talk that the Bangles
dramatically change their defensive approach in
the second half. Did you sense anything like that during
the game?
I'm not really. I feel like they had like the same kind of
game plan. But just switched. I took it a little bit of like,
you know, tank a certain things away. Instead of like, you
know, Leno's get those, you know, you know, maybe those
little quick routes or
those easy routes that was running early in the first
half. So I can't think they took the little bit and but
the little tweak probably that's what kind of know probably did
it for us, but I don't know.
They didn't do nothing. Difficult that really change?
Yeah, it wasn't significant. Like you saw the three-man rush
in the first half once or twice within the second half. It just
seemed to be more of a thing that they kind of but you like
you guys were
prepared for that. Right? You knew that was a part of their
defense acting I guess they just did a few more things
within it than they usually do that fair to say, as if
exactly. Yeah. This is the things we haven't seen before
that. You had
to you know, pick up on as the game went well in the second
half when and but they did a good job making a lot of
a divot opposed to did and
and they they definitely close. They came up. Yeah. The impact
of not getting any points at the end of the first half. Did
that feel like a gut punch going into the
locker room? Yeah. It's kind of like a momentum
momentum switch to. You know, we had all the momentum,
definitely driving the ball with down and
I decision not to kick a field goal. I don't know,
but I feel like if those three points definitely, you know,
make the game
a lot easier right now because that way you have to score
twice instead of touchdowns, right, that it's going and
kicking a field goal, maybe or right to bungle version won't
even matter at that time. So
a lot of things It could happen differently. I know people
don't realize though that the momentum aspect of that is
real, right. I might try to explain that to people, you
going to half, like, you kick it feel or hey, we're up by 14,
you know,
maybe still didn't even play our best. But we're up by 14
and said you went into the by 11:00 going. Wait, we kicked
the crap out of them and now they're only two scores down.
Yeah to school now definitely really
feel good. And have me a two-point conversion in scoring
and field goal. Yeah, and they did what they did. They did.
Yeah, but that that momentum switch man
is better going to locker room.
You know, brings the point is knowing you're getting the ball
back in the second half, right? But not making a field goal or
not. Even kicking figure. It's kind of like just, you know,
it's not you down just a little bit stead of know having, you
know, hyper ready to go back out. So that momentum switch is
definitely
a thing. Yeah, you had your most catches in most yards in
your third NFL, season 59 catches 693 yards. What's
the next level up
from a CO hardened
about table with 1,000-yard season,
you know, just personally speaking
thousand yard seasons.
Coming up, but just try and get better every every year, you
know, improving on the catch an improvement on my route. So
I think I had the most first downs in my career as well
with the caches. So it's like
you just improve on a small things and everything has to
come with it, UT Tyree kill, you know, the speed you guys
have your so dangerous.
I mean, you know, with my home's at quarterback this
year. We're so used to seeing you guys be a well-oiled
machine. Like what is the thought in the locker room when
your offense was kind of sputter and early on?
The year halfway through the year and people were on my
homes, maybe for the first time in his career, you know, you
know, what will take us into your mindset through those
situations.
Um, I think like,
I think we, the people understand we play defense, has
we get a whole entirely different? Do you get
a different approach in, right? Well, another team I have.
Yeah, I'm saying so you can play a team in week six, right?
And watch five weeks of their film. Yeah, you fencing.
Then when they come play us.
It's nothing what they did in the five weeks, you know, her
similar things. Yeah, but it's But it's a whole different
approach right for us. We got to come in and, you know,
prepare for something. We might not seem before
and then pick up on as the game go. Like, okay. This is what
they doing, you know, they're doubling Tyree, you know, or
not. What are their WN Kelsey? So, who got do this, you know,
Tyree, they're letting you get this, so we got more and more
this. Yeah,
right. So, you know, it's definitely more of a challenge
for us going into a game then you know, or rather a regular
team or on me another team that's seeing their consistent
defense. A player. Can we turn up? Yeah, so we just had to
you know, just really Figure out how teams were playing
a little like, in and just figure out what's what we can do to
basic things, right that
it had worked the open up, you know, everything goes. Yeah.
Yeah. Where do you? Keep your Super Bowl ring?
You have it? I don't have it. Where do you keep this? In my
house?
Okay. We're in your house, safe. You're not home. So,
now's my chance. I bet I've been saying for years. I'm
getting myself a Super Bowl ring, one way or the other. So
you better make sure it's in the safe.
It was traded. I wanted to bring with me to buy, you know
what my Venice, first of all. So, you know, That I got
the ring but
it's definitely kept up safe, which is it weird to wear it.
Do you put it on sometimes? And just how does it? Because
they're so big gigantic? Well, I don't wear it. Once for the
when we got it. I wore that once. After that,
that was it. That was locked up. Locked up.
All right. All right. So wait. Now like I know, you pride
yourself and your speed, okay. It's got to be weird that this
may be the first team you're ever around where you're not
the fastest guy on the team.
Maybe you, maybe you think you are, if you want to sell, go
ahead right now. That guy keeps telling him saying bold. He's
gonna beat him. Tell him you. Beat him. Amen,
but that's got to be here for you.
I mean, the fact that you
and go, he's got three rockets up as but I usually classify
you as two-and-a-half Rockets. Okay. All right. So, but your
said, I could tell by the look in your eye. You like your
chances. Is what I hear. I love my
chances. I love my chest Leo. Okay.
Come on, Tyreke. I see 433. That's pretty, damn fast. Damn fast.
That's that's, that's like false. Do you know, really for to I'm
42? Yeah,
but I don't know what I read. You just he's a capo guy like,
you know, you know, you have hair saying like he's fast but
not quick. Yeah, but he's quick, but
not fast. Right? What Tyreke is both. Yeah, I'm saying, so did
kind of that kind of amplifies of how fast he get this earn
certain links know, right? Um, but I don't know man,
it's tough to say. I beat him.
Yeah, but I just feel like I gave him everything he won't.
Who else who else in football you think is in a race with you
guys? Like anybody else that just you think? Name wise,
I just jumps to your head. I know, you know, there's other
fast guys out there and we're
In you on the spot, but anybody in your class right now, you
think, as far as that type of speed?
Oh, no, I don't know, man. I don't like Rahim Mozart by be
up there with you and 49ers running back. He's go right,
can go here and take ten track guy, right? Yeah. He won
the Big Ten 60 meters. I think he's heavy right now. He's
heavy. So you're right now, he's not in shape. Yeah, and
I'm a Cole Harmon Sprinter shit, right? Not.
I think I think this man, sorry. Get the top for sure.
Okay now um, and then other
other ones below us, I don't know. I mean
Somebody we fastened as we don't, I don't know, but just
far as we know is like, it's us to edit. All right, you're up
there. All right, before we get to the business of why you're
here today. I got to ask about the other business, the other
business because it's contract here.
This is it.
You want to get a new contract with the Chiefs before
the season? Or do you want to go out and prove what you can do
and then leave it to the Chiefs or someone else to reward you
after the season.
I kind of improve myself man. I really I really want to like
prove that can be like but God.
Yeah I'm saying like instead.
Kind of just like, you know, what here here you go. And you
know, I really want to go out there and prove it to me then
and leave it up to them. If they want to, you know,
bring me back or you know, if
somebody else want to know, do they have to do so the right
attitude? Because it right? He said somebody saying, this is,
he ain't side and crap. He's got a bomb, don't bother be
rich as hell. And then he wanted his own butler to come
and deliver his shoes and stuff. And here he is. Bo.
Look at this guy, man.
What can I get you?
Yeah, man, you know, he don't show us your feet like Aaron
Rodgers did
Kicks were you know

thing like basically like try before you buy. All right,
thank you know, saying if I want to go get some kicks

basically this No, like I said, try before you buy basically,
like reading, you can rent your save. You, you know, how you
buy a pair of shoes. Yeah. Save. You wear them. Like for
a couple
of days and you're like, I really don't like you don't
feel my they don't well with this, you can put them back out
there. You can send them back. I need to, I need to introduce
my son to this because he's about your age and everywhere
I go in the house, their shoes
and none of them are mine. They're his, so I'd rather he
rent, but he likes to use his money to buy his. Yeah, he
likes to use my money to buy the shoes and fortunately,
the same size of ever wanted to wear them, but, and I get in
trouble.
