Yesterday was a rough day for personal and sports reasons for myself. The personal stuff is none of your damn business, but the sports stuff, I am here to talk about it.

The Super Bowl is set. We have the Bucs and the Chiefs facing off in two weeks. If the Bills had won, this would have been the most white trash Super Bowl of all time, but the Chiefs saved us from that.

The Chiefs proved how good they truly are. Buffalo was hot, they were the darling team, they even took a lead, just like the Titans last year, and then Patrick Mahomes decided enough was enough, and he was spectacular. He is the best QB in the game right now, and it isn't even close. ESPN went as far to give Buffalo the "advantage" at QB prior to the game, and I think word got back to, not only Mahomes, but the Chiefs defense. Mahomes, as I said, was awesome. The Chiefs D might have been better. They suffocated and harassed and pretty much, for them, dominated the Bills "explosive" offense. They shut down Josh Allen too. Outside of the first drive, he was very mediocre. The Bills run game was pretty much non-existent and Stefon Diggs was blanketed all game. And after that first drive, on the Chiefs next five drives, they scored, or knelt on the ball to go to halftime. Mahomes was finding all of his receivers, the O line was stout and the run game did just enough, basically what they ask of them every game, and the Chiefs won going away. It wasn't as close as the final score suggested. The Chiefs made easy work of the Bills, they looked dominant, and they should be the favorites going into the Super Bowl.

The NFC title game was a different story. Green Bay was bad, especially in the first half. They could not stop the Bucs. To give up a TD like they did to end the first half is something that should never, ever happen. To fumble on the opening drive of the second half and let the Bucs score immediately was brutal. To give up so many third down conversions, that is inexcusable. I would not be surprised, and no one else should, if Mike Pettine is let go today. But Green Bay did make it a game. After going down 28-10, they scored on their very next drive, then picked off Brady and scored again. They missed a 2 point conversion, but still, they cut an 18 point lead to 5 going into the fourth quarter. Then it was a slog. Brady threw two more picks, but the Packers never capitalized. They punted both times. The Packers run game never materialized. But still, they had a chance. The Bucs did add a late field goal to push their lead to 8, but Green Bay got the ball, and they put together a drive. But, and I will never understand this decision, decided to kick a field goal just before the 2 minute warning. They cut the lead back to five, they did have all three timeouts, but still, why did LaFleur decide to kick? I don't know that I will ever understand this decision. It was a bad call in my opinion, and I said as much as I watched the game unfold. But, and this is where I got really pissed off, the PI call on 3rd and 8 against the Packers was a bad, bad call. The whole game the refs were letting both teams be very aggressive with the receivers. Both teams were grabbing and pulling and locking arms, and the refs were letting it go. They called it like this all game, until Tom Brady and the Bucs needed a call, on a pass that was very clearly uncatchable, with about a minute and some change left. This gave Tampa the first down, they were able to run out the clock, and the Packers were left with another unfulfilling season, and Tom Brady gets to go back to the Super Bowl, which just happens to be in Tampa this season. Look, I am not a Tom Brady fan, I know he went to Michigan, but outside a very few former Wolverines, I don't really follow them when they get to the pros. But, I have also never really bought into the whole conspiracy that the NFL wants Tom Brady to be in the Super Bowl. But man was it hard to see that call, then realize where the Super Bowl is being played, not to buy into some of that. Green Bay did not deserve to win. They played awfully. But, to leave it up to the refs, to give Tampa a call when they hadn't all game, I mean, it is hard not to think that, in some very, very small way, that the NFL wants their golden boy to be on the big stage. I mean, think of the stories that the major media will get to write for the next two weeks.

The game is a home game for the Bucs. Brady leaves New England, goes to the NFC and Tampa and leads them to yet another Super Bowl appearance for him, his tenth. Brady is 43 years old. He and Gronk are teammates again. That is so much more salacious and click worthy than Green Bay facing the Chiefs. The only real story if that was the outcome would be a rematch of Super Bowl One. But now ESPN and Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report get to write about all the stuff I said, plus a matchup of the GOAT, and the up and coming usurper to the GOAT. I mean, I will watch the game because it is the Super Bowl, but boy will I be rooting for a Chiefs blowout. I am bored and sick and tired of all the Brady nonsense. I am sure I sound like a sour fanboy today, but I do not care. Again, Green Bay did not deserve to win, but it should not have been decided by the refs on a call that they hadn't made all game.

Anyway, if you all want a prediction, I am picking the Chiefs to win, but do not be surprised if Brady and the Bucs get some kind of miraculous late call in a close game that gives them the win. I'm just saying. Go Chiefs.
