This just might be one of the most exciting and entertaining Super Bowls to date. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. I will be traveling and believe it or not, in some countries even streaming it is difficult. Actively trying to find a way to see it. When I was in NYC, just turned on the television, ordered pizza, beer, snacks. Took many things for granted.
KC has been my team since boyhood. I remembering saving up money, picking out a red blank jersey and having it heat stamped on the front and back with number "89," the number of Otis Taylor.
Since then, KC made many attempts at improvement, hiring Marty Schottenheimer and Dick Vermeil and the thrilling running of "The Nigerian Nightmare," Christian Okoye, Joe Montana, Derrick Thomas, et cetera. (a lot of Pro Bowlers)
Never had the right formula to put them over the top. The iconic Native American chant in Arrowhead Stadium is one of the 7 Wonders of the World. (not actually) But the faithful at Arrowhead are always in unison, in sync.
Anyway, this is it for them. They are peaking. And I know that Mahomes is still very young but look at Dan Marino, a truly great NFL QB, one of the best to grace that position, getting to the Super Bowl but once, losing, and never returning.
SF is a formidable opponent. Oddsmakers basically calling it even with KC now giving only one point and it is predicted to swing around and by game day to have a reversal with the 49ers giving up points.
It is already being dubbed as one of the most evenly matched Super Bowls in history.
