For the second time in three years, it will be the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles for all the marbles down in New Orleans.
It’s not necessarily a matchup that most of the country and especially New York is dying to see once again.
The level of Kansas City Chief fatigue has reached an all time high.
This is what happens when you dominate, people get sick of seeing you.
The Chiefs have been in the Super Bowl five of the last six years. So for Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the gang.
It’s a whole lot of, been there, done that.
You’re not going to get the same sense of Philadelphia Eagles fatigue throughout the country, but after all we are living in New York City.
For many Giants fans getting set for Super Sunday, the idea of the hated Eagles with former Giants star Saquon Barkley leading the way is a nauseating thought.
Look, I totally get the sense of not having a particular rooting interest in this year’s big game.
You may not like either team, but it doesn’t mean that Super Bowl 59 doesn’t have the makings of another potential classic.
The Kansas City Chiefs in case you missed the memo, don’t win in decisive fashion.
Not their thing.
If you are going to witness the first 3-peat in the Super Bowl era, odds are it will be an exhilarating, edge of your seat Kansas City Chiefs drama in which they somehow, someway find a way to win.
The Eagles go into the game with the better roster.
They are a better team that lost a nail biter to the Chiefs two years ago because of the emergence of Saquon Barkley and what he has provided the running game.
Can Philly avenge the loss from two years ago and stop history?
Or is it as simple as Reid, Mahomes & crew being as inevitable as it gets…
You may not like either team, but come Sunday, you’ll have a lot to ponder at your Super Sunday extravaganza.
