Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is easily one of the most entertaining players in the NFL at this point.
His press conferences are can't-miss events.
And it's not because Burrow makes controversial statements — quite the opposite actually.
It's because Burrow is just so down to earth and comfortable with the media. There have been countless comparisons between Burrow and Tom Brady over the last two years, but Burrow is much more relatable than Brady could ever dream of being.
Burrow is also more candid, which always makes for great press conferences.
On Friday, we received another great "Burrow moment".
The former LSU star was asked if he will watch any film on the flight to Kansas City and how he passes the time the night before the game.
Burrow revealed that he'll be done with his film study by the time the team flies to KC, so he said he'll be playing Super Smash Bros instead.
That's also how he said he'll likely pass time the night before the game.
"By the time I'm pretty much done with my film study," said Burrow. "Playing some Super Smash Brothers — we play that every now and then on the flight. That's always fun."
Burrow clarified that he's a "Ness Main" on Super Smash Bros before adding "nobody knows what that means, but that's ok…some nerd stuff around here".
It's two days before one of the biggest games of Burrow's career and he's as calm/cool as ever.
Of course, I doubt anyone would expect any less from Joey B.
