Kansas City reporter Mick Shaffer gives a fan-blocking clinic during Super Bowl LV live report Don t do this.
02/06/2021
The Kansas City Chiefs find themselves in a situation where they might be without the services of several players for Super Bowl LV due to COVID concerns. If they’re looking for people to take their place, they might want to consider Mick Shaffer, sports director of the Kansas City’s Action News team, who put on a clinic during a live report from Tampa before the big game.
Shaffer was broadcasting live near Raymond James Stadium to provide updates for Chiefs fans back home when an unruly fan decided to poke his head into the camera view. As if instinctual, Shaffer gave the interloper a textbook block, pushing him back out of view and shouting “get out of here,” before immediately returning to form and carrying on with his broadcasting duties.

This time last year, wide receiver Sammy Watkins was pondering whether he would be playing in his final game for the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers. Watkins had called joining the Chiefs the “best decision of his life,” but he was due for a cap hit of $21 million in the final year of his three-year contract.

When the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet up in Super Bowl LV, it will also be a matchup between two of the most prolific tight ends in NFL history.
The Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and the Buccaneers’ Rob Gronkowski are the poster boys of the modern tight end position. For the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2010s, both Kelce and Gronkowski were chosen as representatives. There have been other great seasons by a tight end recently, but none have displayed the consistent dominance that these two have.
Kelce just broke the NFL’s single-season record for tight end yardage, while Gronkowski still holds the record for touchdown receptions in one season: 17 in 2011. Kelce earned his third first-team All-Pro accolade this year, while Gronkowski got his fourth in 2017.
