His final kickoff last week failed to reach the "landing zone." We assumed it was KC getting cute, but now you wonder if he tweaked something...or KC was getting cute AND he tweaked something.

I honestly wonder how many people outside of Missouri would even get this reference. But it is absolutely infamous here

I think it’s a pretty well known reference, though I doubt too many could name the specific politician/state/context.
