I have no choice; I must cheer for a Saints-Patriots Super Bowl

1/15/2019

You've left me no choice.

My team is out.

The funniest thing to happen in my life besides the Atlanta Falcons blowing a 25 point lead in a Super Bowl (that happened, I remind you) would be if their most hated division rivals, the New Orleans Saints, playing IN the Super Bowl IN the Falcons' stadium. What will make it even funnier? If they played the team that they blew that 25 point lead against. A new dream is born: I'm officially cheering for a Saints-Patriots Super Bowl just so I can see the complete meltdown in Atlanta. Couldn't happen to a better group of people!

I hate cheering against Patrick Mahomes as he's God's gift to the world, but this has to happen.

Extra points:

The Green Bay Packers hired Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator on Monday. Solid choice - he's successful when he has plenty to work with.
Jerry Rice says Antonio Brown wants to come to the San Francisco 49ers "really badly." I understand wanting to get out of the prison that is Pittsburgh, but "really badly" seems like kind of a stretch for me, no?
WEATHER ALERT: There's a supposed "arctic blast" hitting Kansas City this weekend, just in time for the AFC Championship Game. New England really takes their cheating to new levels each season, it's kind of impressive.
After the Denver Broncos were complete dumbasses, offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak peace the fuck outta there and got a job with the Minnesota Vikings. Part of the deal? He gets to take his son along too. Klint (Klint Kubiak, what a name that is) will the the Vikings' QB coach.
New York Jets CEO Christopher Johnson had the quote of the day on Monday and it just spoke to my soul. "I have to earn their trust. We’ve just had a couple of down years. So, I have to earn their trust. I think that they will see this, if not right now, they’ll see it pretty soon as a great hire. I’m not trying to win Twitter. I’m trying to win football games. I think we’re going to win football games.” Not trying to win Twitter. Classic. RT
The news everyone has been waiting for - Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray has declared for the NFL Draft, and basically picked football over baseball, because why wouldn't you?
Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles basically said peace to the team on Monday. "We’ll see what happens, but I’ll tell you this, I’ve enjoyed every single moment and it will always have a special place in my heart. The city, the fans, the people, everything about it. There’s nothing like playing in the Linc in front of the crowd. It’s some of my favorite moments. My family got to experience them, my daughter got to experience them. We’ll see what happens, but I’ve enjoyed everything.” Can't wait to see how they screw this one up.
GOOD DEED ALERT: Kansas City Chiefs G Jeff Allen was stuck in the snow last weekend, and a homeless man helped him out of a ditch. Allen ended up finding the dude via social media to invite him to the AFC Championship.
New Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is in for a rude awakening. "It drives me crazy that people are happy with 7-8-1," he said on Monday. This is definitely what Cleveland needs guys, but he also has to understand that that's a massive improvement based on how they've done recently and the promise of what's to come should be stronger but ok Mr. Kitchens
