You think Andy Reid should be fired? Dick. [Reply]

For me it's clicking because I was born in 1960, same year as the Chiefs. We both turn 60 this year, 50 years after their last appearance.
Plus, very similar to the Royals who lost in last game of the season only to win it the following year. And that was exactly 30 years after their last win.
Now factor in the Miami connection: Miami knocking NE from the 2 seed, Matt Moore winning just enough games for us to get home field advantage. Miami hosting 1st Superbowl in 10 years, etc.

It's destiny.
I haven't missed a Royals World Series Parade yet. Not gonna miss the Chiefs parade either. [Reply]
I have no idea how I'm supposed to do anything even remotely productive over the next 10 days. I literally sit at my desk and CONSUME as many videos, articles, highlights, etc as humanly possible and then go looking for more.
I might as well just drop the coin and go to the game because I'm sure as shit not making any money reading the SF forums and smirking at their predictions. I have no idea if there's a writer, former player, broadcaster who has said anything about this game that I haven't seen.

I watched most of the 49ers / Ravens game when the power went out.
Other than that, I haven't seen much. I haven't seen a single Super Bowl that featured the Broncos or Patriots since the Patriots beat the Eagles, which was like 15 years ago, so you get the picture.
The last SB I watched was the Bucs over the Raiders. Hell, I think I've only watched one NFL game in the last three years. [Reply]
I've been saying it out loud about every other hour...then a big grin & chuckle.
Night before the game, I emceed an Elvis Bash @ Knucks...Monty and I were going around saying 23 minutes till the day we go the Super Bowl...15 minutes till the day we go the SB...to everyone.
