Bill Burr expressed what a lot of NFL fans have felt in recent years during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, and that’s his belief that the league’s refs seem to favor the Kansas City Chiefs. Burr’s comments came on the back of the Chiefs reaching their third-straight Super Bowl.
While appearing on The Rich Eisen Show to promote his upcoming Hulu standup special Drop Dead Years, Bill Burr explained his opinion on the Chiefs, saying that he believes they get more calls than the average team because they’re good for the business of the NFL.
The Chiefs advanced to Super Bowl LIX with a win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday and were aided by a momentum-flipping poor fourth-down spot on a Josh Allen QB sneak that gave the Chiefs the ball as the Bills were driving with a one-point lead.
““Maybe one guy says it is a first down, and the other guy says it isn’t. You know which way it’s gonna go,” Burr expained to Eisen. “I don’t think it’s fixed. I think it’s massaged. There’s definitely more back rubs on one side I just think – where is the money. Come on, man. They got all the stars. They got Taylor Swift. I mean, that’s going to be a lot. It’s a business. Why are they an entertainment league? Why aren’t they a sports league? I don’t watch Chiefs games. It drives me insane.”
“It’s a business. The problem with the Chiefs is Patrick Mahomes doesn’t have a dance partner. Well, you had Bradshaw-Staubach, you had Montana-Elway. He’s just the only guy,” he continued.
After Eisen suggested that Burr has “Chiefs fatigue,” the comedian responded by calling Eisen a “company man.”
“You’re a company man, I get it. Because, you know what it is, Rich Eisen in the green room is not Rich Eisen behind this desk. You want me to say what you’re not gonna say.”
While Burr may be right, the problem with his comments are that they’re wildly hypocritical considering he’s a New England Patriots fan, who previously were perceived as receiving the preferential treatment that Burr believes the Chiefs are currently benefiting from.
If Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs overcome Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX — the Chiefs are favored by two points in what’s a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl — they’ll become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowl.
