That's quite a bit different than being mad about it for months afterwards.  |
The problem is this: it's the Patriots. THE PATRIOTS. They are probably my most hated team in all of professional sports. With probably my most hated fanbase in all of professional sports. If we manage to beat them this year, it serves as notice that a/ we're the new "it" team in the AFC and b/ they're on their last legs. It's also so mellifluously poetic to have vanquished the Colts and the Patriots en route to a Super Bowl in an already-magical season.
We'll have other opportunities and that's great. We'll win other Super Bowls and that's amazing. But it will never be quite as perfect as this. As Chiefs fans, we will never replicate what we've been through this season and I just realllllllllly want more out of it.
