will Christian Okoye be singing the national anthem at this game?

he'll have to get permission from steve atwater

[Matters]

I'll be rooting for the Chiefs just to be able to say at least we lost to the superbowl champs.

This is a rational sports fan right here.

[epilogue]

I have been on cloud 9 this last week or so. This has been an unbelievable ride and I'm still trying to process and make sense of what is happening.

When I was 10 I moved to KC. The first NFL game I attended was a playoff game. At Arrowhead Stadium. It was Jan 1991 and the Chiefs hosted the Raiders. The Chiefs one. On that day my undying hatred of the Raiders was cemented. However, I'd been a 49er fan growing up. Joe Montana was my favorite player and I'd watched him and his team dominate through my early childhood.

In 93 the Chiefs acquired Joe. And that was the beginning of my Chiefs fandom. It was 100% cemented in that moment. I was a 49er fan, then a Joe Montana fan, then a KC Chiefs fan. I never moved. I grew up in the KC area. I went to high school, Junior College, and University in the KC area. In 97 we drafted Tony Gonzalez and he became my new all time favorite NFL player.

Since 91 I've liked football. Since 93 I've liked the Chiefs. Since 97 I've wanted, craved a Super Bowl appearance.

What Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have brought to this franchise is unbelievable. Pat has stared 2 seasons. He's made the AFC Championship game in each. He made the Super Bowl in his second year as a starter. The Chiefs' future looks bright with Pat at the helm.

I'm over the moon. I can't believe this. I waited such a long time (and still not near as long as many other fans) to see my team, my Chiefs in a Super Bowl! I've been on cloud 9 this last week. I want to enjoy it and I will enjoy it. All of it. I can't believe this is happening.

I love the 49ers. They were my first team. But the Chiefs are my true team. And while I think the 49ers, on paper, might be the best team in the NFL this year, I think my Chiefs stack up well against them. Our strengths match up well with their weaknesses. This SHOULD be a hell of a game.

Good luck to you 9er fans. Good luck to us Chiefs fans. Whatever happens, however this game turns out, I just want to say that I love being IN the game. We made it. We did it. The Chiefs did something I always hoped they could do. They made it to the Super Bowl. When a college team makes the Final 4, they get to hang a banner. I think the same should be true here. The Chiefs and the 49ers did something amazing. Each team should hand a banner and enjoy what they achieved. Because it's special.

Win or lose, I'm determined to enjoy this. We did it. We made it. I think the Chiefs deserve to be here (as do the the 9ers). I hope it's a good game, however it turns out. The future is bright for both of these organizations. If you like either of these teams, please just enjoy these next few days. You deserve it.

i hope you get this one, joe..rib tips for everyone

[Orpheus]

Enjoy it man, Mahomes is amazing to watch and seems like a good guy, very bright future for the team.

I'm actually pretty stoked for this game. Both teams are very healthy, have great coaching, and are littered with awesome players. Hoping for a close one, which I think we'll get.

I still hate the week off between games.

Gonna be hard to beat Jimmy G's chin dimple. Chin dimples have a pretty good SB record.

Thank you for posting this.

this could be a great game

Chiefs so much firepower, speed, big playmaking ability

San Fran with a expert tactician coach hell-bent on righting the wrong of the ATL v. NE superbowl loss

Mike Bloomberg and Donald Trump both having purchased superbowl ads

it doesn't get any vedder than this.

who's the halftime show?

[tree_]

I don't know how Andy Reid has any energy to coach with a diet like that. Go 9ers.

Gonna be hard to beat Jimmy G's chin dimple. Chin dimples have a pretty good SB record.

At Jimmy G’s press conference Wednesday, a female reporter asked him if he would marry her. He laughed and said something like “I’ll get back to you”. It was just a few weeks ago that Bay Area killjoys were giving him shit for saying “feels great baby” to Erin Andrews even though she had no problem with it.
Win or lose, Jimmy’s a legend.

[epilogue]

I like Jimmy GQ a lot. But "legend" feels (at best) premature and (at worst) absurd. Especially for the Bay Area. "Legend" is pretty high bar out there.

[Matters]

Who else other than Jimmy has had to navigate these kinds of mixed messages from the media? A lesser man would have been brought down by now.

"He's still in Pat!"

“So he is”

"He's still in Pat!"

“So he is”

that literally sounds like the old madden games on sega genesis
