KEVIN TRACY: Good morning! I appreciate you all being here bright eyed and bushy tailed after the Super Bowl.

[Everyone in the Press Corps is very obviously hung over and suffering greatly]

KEVIN TRACY: I wanted to take a moment to simply acknowledge publicly how much we here at KTracy.com enjoyed Super Bowl 58. Even though nobody roots for either Kansas City or San Francisco in the office or in my family, we will never tire of seeing sporting events that leave the liberals in San Francisco crying in their THC infused beers.

Plus, this year's Super Bowl was largely a very enjoyable football game. I think any fan of the sport would have enjoyed most of the game, as it stayed competitive throughout and some great players in all three phases of the game made some pretty remarkable plays through sheer force of will. My only complaint was San Francisco's use of the Prevent Defense starting roughly halfway through the fourth quarter after they took the lead back from Kansas City.

For the life of me, I don't understand the logic of this and I would love for someone to explain it to me. For at least 20 years, I've seen defensive coordinators and head coaches using the Prevent Defense far too early in the game, allowing an offense to easily move up the field with small chunks of about 4 yards a play, eating the clock and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. In San Francisco's case, we saw them give up the middle of the field throughout the end of the fourth quarter, allowing Kansas City to get in the red zone to score a field goal and taking the game to overtime. Then, we saw San Francisco again use the Prevent Defense to let Patrick Mahomes march his offense down the field for a game winning touchdown in overtime.

Playing Prevent Defense against a Hail Mary makes sense. Playing the prevent defense anytime before the two minute warning is absolutely foolish. Yet, we've seen it time and time again for decades in the NFL.

Ironically, it seems like college defensive coordinators have begun figuring this out in the last five to ten years. Yet, the idea that you should stop an offense in the fourth quarter the same way you stopped them throughout the first three quarters hasn't made its way to the NFL for some reason entirely unknown to me.

Throughout the first three and a half quarters of the game, I was extremely impressed with San Francisco's defense. So impressed, in fact, that I truly believe San Francisco was the better team on the field in the Super Bowl this year. Yet, they lost the game because of the simple mindedness of the San Francisco coaching staff, and specifically whoever put them in Prevent Defense so early in the game.

It's like in the 1990s watching WCW wrestling. You knew every single match on Monday Nitro was going to end with someone in the NWO interfering in the match. It seems like the same is true of close NFL football games in the last two decades. The game will be close at the end and good quarterbacks are made to look great because they're able to piece together game winning drives when the defense is completely surrendering the middle of the field.

I'm just frustrated by good teams losing thanks to bad coaching. I'll stick around for questions.

Q: Kevin, did you have to have this press conference at 6am?

KEVIN TRACY: My wife Katie works out every morning at 5am. She tells me that if she has to wake up, then I have to wake up. And if I have to wake up, then you have to wake up. Consider putting more fair coverage of conservative issues in your newspaper and maybe I'll let you sleep in, you liberal swine.

Q: Mr. Tracy, what did you think of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ad during the Super Bowl?

KEVIN TRACY: I thought it was brilliant! It probably cost him or his Super PAC a huge chunk of their entire campaign budget, but with so many ordinary people so tired of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, I think this was an awesome way to bring awareness to his campaign and make him look like he's a serious contender if he's the only candidate able to put an ad in this year's Super Bowl. For what it's worth, I love the idea of the ad. I assume it was his father's ad that was retooled for him. However, I thought the video clips of RFK superimposed on the existing ad looked a little choppy, like they were done on a 10 year old home computer using some pretty basic freeware software instead of something more professional like Adobe After Effects. I'd love to know what went into the making of that ad, though.

Q: Do you think Bud Light undid the damage they did to themselves with their ad time this year?

KEVIN TRACY: Not even close. I love Payton Manning, I think he's an awesome personality who is great for any brand, but Bud Light needed to make fun of themselves for the controversy somehow as an apology to beer drinkers around the country, and they failed to do that. I don't expect a foreign owned beer company to know how to do that in the United States, though.

Q: How are you not hung over?

KEVIN TRACY: I rarely drink alcohol anymore. I was mostly drinking Coke Zero and a few cans of nootropic Hiyo last night, trying to get my float on. Didn't get mcuh of a float going, but I did get a jog in after the game before going to bed. Okay, that does it, guys and gals and everything in between. I've got a day job to do in order to keep the lights on and the love of my life happy.
