I'm not disagreeing though, guy looks a bit like a pedo dating her, supposedly they are near the same age or something? It just looks crazy ODD and weird, they don't match AT ALL. Don't even me started on her lol, poor girl w supposedly no friends crashes the music scene, ya right. Major backing, just like that other one, Eilish and countless others. Manufactured.

She's 34 believe it or not, so yes they're close in age. I'm not a huge TS fan, but she seems like a decent person and from the looks of it had a normal upbringing. Kelce is a mega tool though, and unfortunately for her she's going to have to find out the hard way. At least her fans will get an album out of it when the caca hits the fan.

All in all, just want it to be a great high scoring game!

I was reading up on Brock Purdy. He seems like a really solid guy!! I want the Chiefs to win, ‘cause I want to see Mahomes continue to advance and improve, but if they don’t win Brock Purdy would be a pretty upstanding guy to lose to.

Well, it was certainly a nail biter! I would say the Chiefs played pretty much the same way they played all season. They played kind of “back on their heels” all season and they did almost all throughout the game also. But Patrick Mahomes is almost unshakable and he was able to lead them through to pull it out in the end!

I was expecting 49ers to win and it was looking very likely after the first half but Chiefs made a great comeback to win it in the extra time. One of the best super bowls in recent years.

For me the NFL season ends after the conference championships (unless the Packers are in it). The Super Bowl is just a manufactured show where a football game happens to break out. Couldn’t be more turned off by who played it in this year….people are tired of the Chiefs and the 49ers.

I just feel like the best football is played before the Super Bowl.

You have every right to feel this way about the Super Bowl. I get that. There have been Super Bowl games that I didn't care about either.

But, it's pretty clear that your statement about people being tired of the Chiefs and 49ers is simply not the case. You may be tired of that match up, but the viewership numbers set a new record and it was the most watched program in the history of television.

It was a very exciting game; one of the best Super Bowl games ever to me and my team lost.

I’m ready for next year here come the Giants…….. I can dream right

Viewership numbers rarely have anything to do with the actual teams playing. That’s my point….I feel most people watch it for the halftime show or Taylor Swift this year (don’t get me started on that). My feelings on this are probably more directed at the Chiefs than the Niners.

It’s not to knock your team or the Chiefs. However I feel the NFL is actually really weak right now when it comes to star power…..there is a lot of parody. Honestly, we beat the Chiefs late in the year….they weren’t really that good this year I didn’t feel.

It's okay, I'll just Shake it Off.

Why is it people get this attitude towards teams that are doing really well for an extended period of time? The Cowboys were America’s team and everyone loved to hate them and everyone loved to hate both Tom Brady and the Patriots. It was kind of a national football pastime. The Chiefs have been on a roll for five years. It really hasn’t been that long.

There are some people who just can't stand winners, especially when their favorite team is done for the season by....not winning!

We should expect this not-always-logical reaction from fans. The term fan is said to have come from the word fanatic. Here are some synonyms for fan:

addict
afficionado
buff
devotee
enthusiast
fanatic
fiend
fool
freak
junkie
maniac
nut
sucker

Some fans will say anything (or type anything) to make their case for their team while saying negative things about any other team. It's just how it is.

The Chiefs are a great team by any measure. They were well prepared and played a great game. They've had a good run and the rest of the NFL is going to have to figure out how to stop them. History says that will happen eventually.

I mean...hating......it's the American way.....most people are tired of the same teams winning every year. Let's be honest.....the Chiefs are starting to become unlikable for a lot of reasons.....the Swift thing, Mahomes has a shitty brother, Reid's kid killed someone driving drunk.....there are just a lot of reasons for casual fans to not like them besides winning now.

Again, I don't mean to necessarily lump the Niners in there although they've been to the SB 3 times now in the last few years. Now, that being said, I am indeed tired of them beating the Packers ...

Cowboys hated? They haven't won anything in like 30 years.....

Brady, you know why people hated them......not to mention Boston fans are generally disliked all over, I think.
