For Pete's Sake

When Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones was at “The Catch” fishing event earlier this month in Florida, he answered some rapid-fire questions from CBS Sports’ Bryant McFadden.

Jones revealed he is a piano player and his go-to song is “Ordinary People” by John Legend.

When asked how long Jones, 28, plans to play he answered: “I think when you put a time limit on things you kind of set the bar for yourself. I don’t put no time limit on it.”

Jones then stunned McFadden, who asked how many more Super Bowl rings Jones wants to win.

“If I can eight to nine more rings,” Jones said, “that’d be fantastic.”

Chiefs fans will agree with that sentiment, right?

Considering Jones will get his second Super Bowl ring later this year, he wants to have enough for each finger on both hands ... including the thumbs.

An annual Super Bowl championship parade down the streets of Kansas City would sit well with a lot of people.

Here is the conversation.
