Tyreek Hill Went To Tokyo To Avoid Watching The Chiefs In Super Bowl LVII

Published|Updated

It can't be fun to watch your old team go all the way, and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill went to great lengths to avoid seeing his old Kansas City Chiefs teammates win their first of back-to-back Lombardi Trophies.

But don't be mistaken, he's happy for those guys.

Hill spent six seasons in Kansas City, before being dealt to the Miami Dolphins in 2022.

His time in Miami has been perfectly fine, but of course, he has missed out on those two Super Bowl titles.

The 30-year-old was a guest on the Million Dollars Worth of Game podcast and revealed that he had to skip town — by which I mean the entire western hemisphere — ahead of Super Bowl LVII between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

"The first year that they won it, me and my wife took a trip to Tokyo because it was kind of hard for me," Hill said, per Daily Mail. "I don't want to look at no game. I don't want to look at none of it. She was like, 'Babe, let's just go to Tokyo. Let's get away from it and let's do our thing.'"

So off to the land of the Rising sun. Home to Godzilla, incredible cuisine, and vending machines that dish out everything from eggs to used panties (that's real; look it up… actually, maybe don't do that).

However, while Hill and the missus were having a great time gallivanting through Tokyo — probably hitting up Harajuku and watching one of those robot dinner shows — he still caught wind of how the game turned out and made sure to reach out to his old teammates.

"So we went to Tokyo for the first year. And when they won, I reached out to all the guys," he said. "I was like: "Man, I'm happy for y'all. Proud of y'all."

Hill went on to explain that while the first year was hard, this year, he watched the entire game.

"The second year, this year when they won, I watched the whole game. I was like: 'Y'all, we got to win this thing.'"
