Chiefs

How bout those Chiefs

I picked the skins.  I thought they would shut down Patrick.  They did but only for 3 quarters.  It's great for KC though.

The first 50 minutes were pretty hard to watch. Seeing this team that has such an explosive offense sputtering kinda sucked, as did seeing the 49ers pretty much move the ball at will. But the Chiefs showed incredible grit and just didn't quit. Again.

Seems like a pretty special combination of things all came together at the same time. A talented and exciting QB, a great coach, tons of other talent and a city that has patiently waited for a loooong time for this. Loved Reid's quote: "I'd coach another 20 years if I could have that group right there."

Mahomes is such a good kid -- well grounded, always deflecting the attention to his teammates and coaches. He does a lot of charity work around KC, especially with kids. Reid is a class act and much beloved coach too.  

Big parade here on Wednesday. I'll be here at the old salt mine, but wifey's school declared a 'Red Snow Day' for Wednesday and she'll be down there like she was with the ~300,000 folks that celebrated the Royals World Series win.

I cancelled a doctors appointment and took a vacation day. Going to take princess #1 and her fiancé to the parade.

We used to be friends.

I was never worried.  They played Chiefs football from the kickoff until the clock read 00:00.  I was at a two generation super bowl party.  I had to go hang with the young guys that are about Mahomes' age.  They were super enthusiastic and a lot more fun than the worried old worry warts.  What was kind of wild was power outage - a big one - that hit about a minute after the game ended.  We were all standing around in the dark yelling.😎

Nah, we’re still friends.  Betting is different than rooting for the home team.

First time in history Missouri has had two major sports championships in the same year.  Maybe the Cardinals can make it three in a row, but looking at their line up and lack of any major moves in the off season I doubt it.  Royals don't have a chance.

Giving up on them before the season starts.  Ya never know.

Royals have some good young arms, I agree no chance this year, but maybe in a couple of years.  Bullpen really needs to get a lot better.

It will be interesting to see how open the new owner is to spending money.

Congrats Chiefs!
