Ya, despite their record, they just weren't a really great team this year. It would be fun to see Mahomes win the big one.

Interesting. Argument from underdog. I'm leaning this way, support the underdog is a strong argument.
Is there a counterpoint, 49ers fans?

All of the above, and Richard Sherman.

As a Seahawk fan I definitely have a lot of respect for him since he played for us. I wouldn't mind seeing him get another ring, but the Chiefs deserve it more imo.

Yes I see your point. As a Packers fan with memories from the championship game five years ago, and from the one two days ago, I've got additional reasons to support the Chiefs.
And Mahomes is a pleasure to watch indeed.
I don't know who that is, so let's assume it's not an argument. But I will say, the Chiefs are really still winning my loyalty here.

SF (currently, Seattle formerly: see above) pretty good - and pretty big-mouthed - cornerback.

*Best Cornerback in the league. Quarterbacks had the lowest passer rating throwing towards him. It was actually more productive to throw the ball away than to throw to a reciever he was covering.

He's probably most famous for his legendary post game interview from 6 years ago when he was on the Seahawks and beat the 49ers in a playoff game.
As for the Superbowl, I'm kind of on the fence with who I want to win. I don't have anything against either team, so I really won't mind either way whoever comes out on top. The main thing I'll be rooting for is a good, exciting game. I'm just happy the Patriots aren't in it this year. Or the Packers.

Well, Jim McMahon's XFL is going take another shot at it in just a couple of weeks. It will be interesting to see how well it goes this time around.
Vince McMahon. Jim McMahon is...someone else.
The last time Vince busted out the XFL, he tried to treat the league like a wrestling promotion. It didn't work, obviously, but the XFL did make some important contributions to the way the NFL is shot. This time, he's going to treat it like an actual football league, and try to grow a version of the sport on its own merits. I think it actually has a decent chance, because 1) the American appetite for gridiron football does seem endless 2) he's not running it as a competitor to the NFL but as a supplementary league 3) there's a greater than 50% chance that Trump plugs his friend's league and sends his army of mindless drones to their tv to watch.

By coincidence, he was a professional NFL player and a 2 time Super Bowl champion as well.
Explains the confusion!

Overall I was quite satisfied with that Superbowl. Congrats to the Chiefs.

It was great to see old Andy finally get the big one. And which state is Kansas City in again? It most certainly can't be Missouri!

Dennis Wilcock did 9/11
Caught the 4th quarter live, and it paid dividends. Great comeback from the Chiefs. Don't know anything about American football aside from the basic rules and goals but it was fun to watch still. First game of American football I've watched in years - I've probably seen 5 of them max.

Wait... What? I'm shook. I've spent the last 2 days watching all these youtube documentaries on how he's the GOAT and how he wants to play until he's 45 and how him and Belechek built the Patriot Dynasty of the last 20 years. It will be interesting to see if he can win somewhere else the way Manning did with the Broncos. He already has 6 rings, another one with a different team will really cement him as a god among men.
