Niners or Chiefs Kingdom to Come as they arrived at Bowl of Oz: Hardest Rock at Lane Cove: Super Bowl LIV(E)

... Postscript  as always there is nothing like American, tracey and sam’s,  hospitality even if chiefs won 31 to niners 20 ... NY Times how Chiefs won  ... 20020202 stands for Shakira’s 43rd birthday ... we are filled trivia and strange alien dancing moves today ;-)

After a 50-year wait, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions once again, after Patrick Mahomes engineered a stirring fourth-quarter comeback Sunday to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, at a raucous Hard Rock Stadium.
Mahomes caught fire late, leads Chiefs to 31-20 comeback win.

Like superbowl, soccer forces life to move on. There’s always a new match. A new season. There’s always a dream that everything can get better. It’s a game of wonders.

As usual at the Super Bowl, you never know which special guests will make an appearance, but at the moment details of the performance have been kept under wraps — except for a hint that it will honour Kobe Bryant in some way.

"We'll all be remembering Kobe on Sunday and celebrating life and diversity in this country," Shakira said.

"I'm sure he'd be very proud to see the message we are trying to convey on stage that day."

No Matter How Many Problems There Are With The NFL, Hordes Of People Keep Watching The Super Bowl. What Keeps Us Hooked?


“The Super Bowl isn’t just a game. It’s the halftime show; it’s the ads; it’s the chips and guac. It is sport but also music, dance, costumes, TV production and stage design — a pop culture event greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps most important, … the Super Bowl is one of the last true vestiges of an era when we all watched the same things at the same time.” Times journalists Wesley Morris, Caryn Ganz and Austin Considine discuss. – The New York Times

Lovato’s mother, Dianna De La Garza, was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

“I mean, it’s amazing. It really is,” Mahomes said. “To be here, to be a part of Chiefs Kingdom and to be able to do it here at Arrowhead, these people deserve it. And, we’re not done yet.”

The Tennessee Titans don't have Aaron Rodgers, Travis Kelce, Nick Bosa, Patrick Mahomes, Tyrann Mathieu or Davante Adams, but they do have momentum after beating two of the top three seeds in the AFC — and if you ask Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller, that may just be enough to win it all. 

The Denver Broncos linebacker says that the surprising No. 6 seed Titans are his pick to win Super Bowl LIV in Miami. ( Tennessee_Titans ) V   (Kansas City Chiefs)

"They have all the momentum," Miller told AOL Sports on behalf of My Glaucoma. "I'm just a momentum guy. I know how much momentum can do for a team, especially in the playoffs."


Through the first two rounds of the postseason, the Titans have been responsible for two major upsets, which would instill confidence in any team. First, Tennessee bulldozed through the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, then took down the previous Super Bowl favorite Baltimore Ravens the following week behind dominating performances by running back Derrick Henry. 

"Everybody's rolling," Miller continued in his praise of the team. "[Ryan] Tannehill is on fire. Derrick Henry is on fire. They have a really good defense, and they play together."

The Titans are underdogs going into Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City is playing in its second-straight AFC Championship game but carries with it an unfortunate cloud, according to Miller. 

"Somehow, they always find a way to lose it," he said. "They really don't have any cons but that." On the NFC side of the bracket, Miller says that the San Francisco 49ers "have the best team in the playoffs" but is picking the Green Bay Packers to emerge victorious because "in tournaments, it doesn't always go to the best team." 

Anyone have a spare $30-40k sitting around to give me & my wife so we can see the #49ers in the Super Bowl or put a down payment on a house?


THERE’S A LIFE LESSON IN SUNDAY’S SUPER BOWL: When the final gun sounds on the 49ers and Chiefs in the Super Bowl, there will be no doubt about the outcome. That’s because the purpose of the game for each team was clear at the kickoff – score more points than the other guys. Frank Turek sees a valuable life lesson in that simple fact.

BTW, since my Houston Texans didn’t quite make it to the big show, the Chiefs are my favorite, but I have a strong feeling the Patriots are going to be wishing they had kept Jimmy Garoppolo as Tom Brady’s backup. Is there a life lesson in that for the Pats?



Patriots[The New England Patriots have] won six Super Bowl titles, matching the record held by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it has done so in less than 20 years. As notable, the Patriots have been so consistently successful that they had not had to play in the first round of the playoffs since 2009; and since then, until this season, they had never failed to make it to at least the divisional round of the playoffs. ...

[T]he Patriots excelled continuously. Among the many reasons for this, five have stood out for me consistently and are extremely relevant for sustained business success
