Yes, I'm still here, and not bitter at all about the NFC Championship Game. Life goes on, and we can talk about the Super Bowl.
Well, I'm bitter. But there's not much to be done about it now, so yeah, on with the Superb Owl. And let's have some halftime entertainment!
That ain't The Weeknd, old dude. And I've never seen so many rugby shirts in my life, by the way.
Nah, it's Up With People, as compared to most Super Bowl halftime shows these days, which are usually Up Yours.
Left Shark does not approve.
But anyway, back to the game. The one thing that is clear for me is that 99% of America is rooting for the Chiefs. The only people rooting for the Bucs are Bucs fans, Brady bandwagon fans that followed him from the Patriots, and AFC West rivals. I'm not one of those three groups of people. I never have rooted for the Bucs, I don't like Brady, and I root for the Packers, who last I checked play in the NFC North.
A useful sorting out, Grasshopper. Very well done. By the way, what are you feeling?
I am still feeling the HYYYYYYPPPEEEEE!, and it is time to watch me work.
Kansas City Chiefs (-3) vs. Tampa Bay Bucs The Chiefs are back to defend their title and return to face a Bucs team that they beat in this very stadium in late November. It must be acknowledged that the Bucs have a huge advantage in not being able to travel, and will make history as the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. My big question is how in the world did the Bucs get so many mercenaries under the salary cap? It's like they were borrowing tips from the Saints. Tampa has a lot of unlikeable people on their roster. Brady is a proven cheater thanks to Deflategate, and was part of Patriots teams that was caught breaking NFL rules multiple times. AB is the dictionary definition of a diva wideout and is one of the few players I never want the Packers to sign or trade for. Suh is a dirty player, and Gronk just annoys me with his frat bro stuff. Yeah, I know that Tyreek Hill has his own legal troubles, but the Bucs have far more people who football fans can find easy to hate. The Chiefs will have a healthier Patrick Mahomes. Sorry Patrick, you are not the MVP of the league. The MVP wears 12 and plays for Green Bay. The Chiefs have more experience than the Bucs, and should be the first team to repeat since the Patriots back during their first dynasty. I also love how explosive the Chiefs can be on offense, and they have a better defense than people think. Chiefs 35, Mercenary Bucs 21.
That's all spot-on. The Chiefs can deal destruction in multiple ways and in Mahomes they have a quarterback for the ages. Brady has done amazing things in his career and he was just barely good enough to beat a Packers team that went moronic at the worst possible time. The Chiefs are simply a better team, top to bottom. Bet the chalk and take the points. Kansas City 34, Tampa Bay 26.
Enjoy your football this weekend, and thanks for reading this feature all season long. Until September, Ben out.

It's a team game, and that fact is usually ignored by the sports press. It's being billed as Brady vs Mahomes... But these two will never face each other in any meaningful way.
If you doubt that, just remember that Rex Grossman has just as many Super Bowl appearances as Benster's preferred GOAT... Who matches Carson Wentz and Joe Flacco in the ring catagory.
Don’t disagree with any of that.
And there are a lot of fans of Brady and Gronk too. They wanted a Bucs victory also. And Raider, Bronco, Brown, Raven, Charger, Titan, Texan, and Buffalo Bills' fan probably wanted them to win too. I only enjoyed KC losing it all on the big stage after three years of people acting like the second coming of Randall Cunningham was the first time that it had happened. But I guess that when ya don't draft or develop a QB in the first five decades of the history of a franchise, it feels rather unique. And it's nice to see KC back to it's old ways of losing playoff games in embarrassing fashion, but it truly was the fault of the refs that no one in a red jersey could catch anything that was thrown right to them to them
Nate Silver's stat site ran two articles in the last month about the chiefs that stand out. One was regarding when their luck would eventually run out. And the other not far out from the Super Bowl concerning their left tackle being out for the game not affecting their gift to QBing. It was a tale of two teams for them this year. The dominant team that handled almost every opponent in the first half to include pushing around the Texans and Ravens. And doing what a champion does against inferior teams in Denver and New York
Barely being able to close out weaker foes caught up to them. And the loss at home to end the season to the Chargers exposed their lack of depth. But it really came down to what happened in Reid's family. It obviously affected him, and then in turn did the same thing to the team who feed off of their player's coach persona. Red Grimace is a great guy, and he'll bounce back, but I'm not that sure that it'll be with another ring
