Success

Hmmmmmm - not sure about that. Why would I care about a "fan" who would change their allegiance on a dime, or hop on any bandwagon as long as it was in their general region? Philly can have those kinds of fans. Chiefs fans are incredibly annoying in their own right - especially about Josh Allen. It's really never enough for them that Mahomes is perceived as the best - they have to (in general) trash Allen and try to diminish what he has done. Tonight is a no brainer for me. I want Philly in the most lopsided blowout imaginable.

I was going to order Duff's long distance if we had made it. (sigh)

I'm hoping the Eagles blow KC out. Then I can talk myself into this.

It helps that the rest of America has nothing but disdain for this Super Bowl match-up.

Tig was great. I just watched "American Primeval," and that actor played an entirely different character (equally as menacing though).

It's challenging to NOT be frustrated by how things played out. That was such a winnable game. And America in general is just dismayed by this match-up - I kind of mourn the loss of a Bills/Commanders game that would have been some new faces & more exciting storylines. Even though they had the better record - we had a better season than KC, and we were the better team. Man, it's frustrating.

I don't get some of the vitriolic reaction from people who thought Lamar should have won. It's not a stats award. In reality, Lamar deserved it just as much as Josh - they both had amazing seasons. It was a coin flip, and even though it's not supposed to matter, I think voters probably considered the idea that Lamar would have 3 MVP's and Josh none, when they're both pretty amazing and have both been great for the league. And this shouldn't matter either, but it's noteworthy - the Bills beat the Ravens in the playoffs, largely because Josh played an efficient game, and Lamar turned the ball over. If Lamar won, I would have been disappointed, but would hardly have been able to say it was some sort of injustice. I really don't get why some fans are so up in arms about this.

I'm surprised by how uplifting this was for me. It was such a good season, and so disappointing to lose the way we did last week. It feels like this is at least something that we can take away from this past year. And for Allen, it's recognition of how good he is & has been - for Buffalo and for the league.

Only 50 voters - and 2 of them are Brady & Bruschi? Cripes.

I'll probably still skip 'em. It would be nice to hear some kudos, but I'm sure there will be guys who never played the game arguing that Allen shouldn't have won & all that.

Okay, now I can tune out the NFL until the draft.

Great speech. It's so easy to root for Josh. Really happy for him. I'm sure he'd rather have MVP of the game on Sunday, but it's great to get this recognition. He does a lot for the league.

Well.....maybe.

I kind of wish Goodell would get booed everywhere, like he does at the draft.

I think my favorite thing about this topic in general is that Patriots fans online complain loudly about the favorable officiating for the Chiefs. Completely without a sense of irony.

You've ruined my night. I was just starting to convince myself that it's just 1 hour.

Do they really leak it? I'm not as confident. I'm hopeful, but not as confident.

I'm all about "any love is good love," but man....

I'm torn on this. I know exactly what you're saying - but the league only has so many Andy Reids. And even Andy Reid was basically run out of town in one NFL city because he couldn't win "the big one." McDermott, realistically, is probably a top 6-7 guy overall. Who that's available would be better? It's a tough one. Personally, I wish we would just being in a real DC. I think if we had hired Saleh, we'd have the #1 D next year.

Some who have come out & said they voted Lamar make it sound more like a stats award. I think some do see it that way. I just take "most valuable" as exactly that.

I like to think we wouldn't be like Chiefs fans w/ similar success. Maybe I'm wrong - but I really don't think we would be. Too much heartbreak over the years. It would keep us much more grounded.

C'mon, universe. Throw us a bone.

It would be kind of fun if a completely egregious call ended up costing KC the 3-peat.

No team would give up a 2nd for Milton. He looked great - against backups.

What did he do? The guy won 1 game, and was somewhat of a turnover machine - especially on game-ending drives. He's incredibly overhyped right now based on a few "wow" plays. He hasn't proven anything in this league yet.
