Have you ever watched an entertainment awards show—the Academy Awards for instance—and heard the orchestra attempt to play a long-winded winner off the stage?

As it turns out, it can happen in sports, too.

Former TitansBrownsPatriots and Dolphins defensive back Jason McCourty took aim at the Chiefs from multiple angles in a comically long-winded draft pick announcement Friday night. After nearly 90 seconds of real time, he finally announced Tennessee’s pick: Tulane running back Tyjae Spears.

After plugging his NFL Network show, Good Morning Football, McCourty launched into reminding Kansas City fans who was boss in 2018.

“I have to say congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. I saw (Patrick) Mahomes and (Travis) Kelce out here. I’ve had some fond memories here. I remember being at Arrowhead Stadium in 2018, when we won the AFC championship game and we went to the Super Bowl,” McCourty exclaimed to a smattering of boos.

Never mind that McCourty was talking about a Patriots victory prior to announcing a Titans’ draft pick. He was on a roll. 

McCourty—wearing a Houston Oilers throwback jacket and jersey—then segued awkwardly into hyping up the Titans, declaring Tennessee’s barbecue superior to Kansas City’s in the process. (!)

After the familiar draft jingle played a second time, McCourty finally and mercifully announced the pick.

Some say McCourty still is trolling Chiefs fans to this day.
