I'm excited about the Super Bowl game! I wanted the Lions to get into the big game, especially given the storied draught they've experienced just trying to get to the playoffs, but of course it feels great to see my Chiefs in, and going into what will certainly be a competitive matchup.
I keep thinking back to watching the Mic'd Up of the Super Bowl from the last time 49ers battled the Chiefs at a Super Bowl, and remembering that bit where Kittle said something to the effect that they'll meet again in the same place. Well, they both get that rematch!
I don't really hate many teams in the sport. I'm more a fan of players and less of teams, but the 49ers are one of only maybe two teams that I just don't like. However, it's hard not to pull for a guy like Brock Purdy, who has done nothing wrong and everything seemingly right these past two years. And the team is absolutely stacked with high impact players! I'm trying to just swallow whatever this distaste I have for the team is because they're an incredible team, but of course it certainly makes it easier to support my somewhat-home team.
I also just think it's amazing that the Chiefs played lousy football most of the season but still squeaked by and got this far. The offense was atrocious most of the season. The defense, however, rose up to the occasion and surprised me royally.

Thanks to the streaming box my coworker has at his place I managed to watch the Super Bowl live for the first time since way back when Peyton Manning miss the first snap of the game all those years ago, seeing the ball in countless slow motion replays fly by his head.
This game was…different! Was it worthy of being the big game? Absolutely! You could tell both teams were fighting hard, especially their defenses. In some way it felt slow and grueling, and in other ways it was just fascinating football. What a long way the Chiefs defense has come! Went from having one of the weakest defenses to suddenly one of the very best. That 49rs lineup is top to bottom astounding. In my mind, there was absolutely no reason for them to lose this game, but I believed deep down that the Chiefs would find a way. And what a way they did it!!! Proud and satisfied Chiefs fan here! Now, give my Bills a freaking chance next year, will ya!?

Never bet against Mahomes. Ice cold. Unless you’re just looking for a stronger QB play in fantasy, as evidenced by this year. I’m wondering if they clean up their offensive struggles this off season and whether or not that will help him return to being a top 3 QB play in fantasy. This year was a letdown having him on my roster on what I thought was going to be a great team in a keeper league I joined. Found myself wishing I had held onto other players instead of him lol

Man, the post-Super Bowl football drought is killing me. I never got deeper into football than I did this year. I was watching every highlights video from the Pat Mcafee show every day, studying areas of play that always seemed overly complex to me (especially defensive plays), and I even dove into college football during the Bowl games.
Now what? I guess I’m gonna try to find all the XFL games and watch those lol
Also, there is a sport called Calcio Storico worth looking at. That sport looks insane and has a 500 year history. Look that shit up, guys! Lol looks like uncoordinated prison fights with aimless ball play haha

Xavier Worthy's combine record is blowing up the league news!
But will he end up getting drafted early or late in round 1? Or maybe a round 2 pick? I'm hearing speculation that he is likely to end up a late-first round pick. Would be really cool to see the Chiefs pick him up! Lol we need better hands! I don't know if he has good hands, but surely better than what we currently have??? I mean, Rice was solid at least.

My team got the speed freak from combine! Xavier Worthy may have been the fastest ever, but only time will tell if he becomes a dependable weapon for my Chiefs. Either way, he is totally the pick I hoped they'd aim for, but wasn't quite sure if he'd be available in the end of round 1 for them. Hope he has good hands, because the Chiefs don't have many of those if last season was anything to go off of.
Draft was fun to watch this year! It also gets me a little excited for some teams I didn't really care much about. Really curious to see how Drake Maye performs in New England, and I've never had interest in that team.
Cannot wait for the season to start!
I've been watching UFL on and off here since Spring football has become pretty good. These 8 teams of USFL and XFL are pretty decent, with 315 out of 400 of the players having had NFL experience. So it's legit fun to watch.
