Dear Chiefs fans,

I, a Denver Broncos fan, am actually happy for you. No, really. It’s cool to hear from the fans about how excited they are. It reminds me of the Broncos’ first run that I was around for back in 1986-87 (I wasn’t living in Colorado during Super Bowl XII, and also I was 2 years old then) and the horrors that followed. I know the Chiefs won one 50 years ago, but for people my age and even a bit older, it may as well not have even happened it was so long ago. Out of our division rivals, the Chiefs are the one team that I’ve hated but also respected. You guys have had to deal with a LOT of crap over the last couple decades. I can’t imagine it’s been fun to go through that stretch of home playoff losses. Anyway, enjoy it! These things don’t come along often, and there’s never a guarantee your team will ever get back there. Just ask Dan Marino.

That said, I hope you lose by double-digits. :)

I won’t make specific predictions like a final score. I just know from my own personal experience that if it’s a matchup between a great defense and a great offense, I’ll take the D every time. Though if there is one QB I would take to try to beat it, it would be Patrick Mahomes. We have to play this guy twice a year and I’ve never seen someone do what he does. It’s insane. He might secretly be a robot. I would guess the MVP will probably be one of the following: Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle, Patrick Mahomes, or Travis Kelce. I’d have a hard time seeing anyone else do it. Maybe Emmanuel Sanders, but he hasn’t been getting the ball that much, really.

Any plans for the game? I’m on call unfortunately, so I’m staying at home (hopefully) by myself and won’t be having any alcohol. Boo. Time to drown my sorrows in mozzarella sticks!

I left the weeks grocery shopping for today like an idiot. My big adventure is going to the store and trying for food

In before someone points out to everyone that they don’t watch the Superbowl.

We’re doing shrimp, brats, greens, beer and bourbon.

I don’t think I can. My fryer’s not peer-2-peer enabled.

That’s a bummer. How about some Internet Ham instead?

I am. I really liked Jimmy G for his very brief exposure in NE, and I'd like to see him win.

Plz no blowout. Otherwise I don’t care but it would be nice to hit a square for monies. 7-0 KC?

49ers deserve this, but I really don’t want to hear listen to their fans the next few months . Feels like the worst of LOB Era Seahawks fans, multiplied by two.

I am rooting for KC, but specifically I am rooting for this man to finally win a Super Bowl:

So put in terms I understand: this is kind of a Verstappen vs Leclerc showdown?

Honestly, it won’t hurt me that bad if the Chefs were to win. We’ll still have more rings.

That pick by Jimmy G was pretty terrible though.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE THE NINERS DOING? Why the hell wouldn’t you take a time out on that third down stop? And then two run plays that get nothing? Are they outright trying to be the Broncos?

That’s ok, you don't have to try to get points. It's not like the Chiefs are known for scoring a lot.

I think the hope of that has passed now.

I just mean the square numbers. 37-10, 7-0, 17-60, I don’t care.

Oh, you're definitely still in play then.
