Preparing Greg Kittle For Super Bowl Opening Night

Ahead of his busy week leading up to Super Bowl LIV, San Francisco 49ers TE George (Greg) Kittle hopped on today's Pardon My Take to discuss the big game, his dad's pregame letters, and more. Tonight also happens to be Super Bowl Opening Night over at Marlins Park. And with swarms of Big J's ready to greet the players and coaches who will be involved in this contest, Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter have Kittle ready for tonight's festivities:

Mr. Commenter: Greg, talk about how excited you are for this game.

Greg Kittle: Oh you know, I'm really excited. Just with the team down here, I'm proud of the work we put in all season and I really think it's our goal to win this game, I think we definitely belong here.

Mr. Cat: OK Greg, quick question. You have your dad writing letters to you before every game. What does he say?

Greg Kittle: You know, he just brings up childhood memories and just always tells me that he's proud of me, it just keeps me locked in. 

Mr. Commenter: Greg, Greg. Peter King here from NBC. Have you noticed in the showers when you check into the hotels, they don't unplug them and you have to unplug them yourself. Talk about the shower drains.

Greg Kittle: Our hotel has very nice shower drains, I just checked them out actually. I'm really looking forward to it.

Mr. Commenter: OK, that's going into my column. 

Mr. Cat: Greg, Greg. Quick question for you. So, the 49ers, you guys were the worst team last year, now you're one of the best teams. Talk about that. 

Greg Kittle: You know, I think our team has worked really hard this offseason, and you know, Nick Bosa is pretty good as well.

Mr. Commenter: Greg, one other question here. I noticed that you wore a shirt with Jimmy Garoppolo on it. Talk about how attractive you find him. 

Greg Kittle: Jimmy has one of the strongest chin lines in the NFL. And that chin line definitely led us to the Super Bowl this year. 

Mr. Commenter: Greg Kittle guarantees a Super Bowl. That's what he just said. We got to teach him, man. You slipped up at the end. 

Mr. Cat: Don't do that. 

Mr. Cat: Greg, how is this week different than all the other weeks? You're gonna get asked that, dude. They're going to be like, "What's your preparation like this week, is it different than a regular week?"

Greg Kittle: We're gonna treat it like any other game week. And we're gonna come in and work as hard as we can. 

Mr. Cat: We'll just prep you for these stupid questions. You're going to get so many.

Good thing Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter prepped No. 85 for tonight. The "talk about's" and "what has this week been like for you's" are going to be out the wazoo. But hey, as a Big J, I have to respect what my fellow peers are there to do. They have a job and the players/coaches have a job. But can we please ban "TALK ABOUT?!" and "Yes/No" questions? Hand up, I have been guilty of these as well in my past experiences before, but it was a learning lesson that I and hopefully all of us can use to perfect our interviewing skills in the future.
