Kumbaya, Motherfuckers

Day One of the Super Bowl grab-ass corporate feeding frenzy got off to what can only be described as a love fest. In a format I[ve never seen before, but in my defense, I rarely watch this shit without the Niners in it, they brought out both teams at the same time, and they all seemed genuinely thrilled to see each other. Deion Sanders had Mahomes and Jimmy G on one side; and Richard Sherman and Honey Badger on the other. Deion talked of Mahomes’ killing it in the passing game and going against the Niner D. Platitudes and smiles all around.

Same with Travis Kelce and George Kittle being interviewed by Michael Irvin. Mutual respect, blah blah blah. Shanny related a story about losing a backpack with his playbook tablet and 40 super bowl tickets in it, and Koo-Koo-Ka-Choo said something, and my eyes started glazing over at that point. But the thing is, we have come a long way from the Steelers/Cowboys or Vikings/Raiders days where there was palpable bad blood between the teams. I guess it is understandable given the player movement, and the much higher danger factor of being crippled for life at any given moment.

Yeah, there are still some grudges, say Pittsburgh and Cleveland, or Aliq Talib/Michael Crabtree, but for the most part it is Kumbaya, folks. Hey, as long as we win, all is good.

    Thanks guys!
    Just a reminder, last time the Niners won a SB was in Miami, 25 years ago!
    I really feel the Niners will win, that D is legendary.

    I’ve been lucky enough to catch all the games at Levi except 1 this year and I sit on the home side. I’ve haven’t seen a sideline like it since 1994 season.

    Those players EXPECT to win, to a man. If something goes wrong or they are behind there is no sign defeatism at all. Its extraordinary, and I’ve been to hundreds of home games.

    It feels like the 1994 season where the team was just so confidant. Jerry called it early on, and I think that’s why.
    Go Niners, feels good baby!

    12th, so cool you are there. I saw an interview with Eric Davis and they asked him about the ’94 Super Bowl game, “When did you feel like you had the game in hand?” And he said “After we beat Dallas”. They had NO doubt they were gonna win. I remember watching the Pittsburgh/SD game in the Stick parking lot and being a little disappointed that we didn’t get the Steelers.

    Woulda been a better game, but we woulda beat them as well. But man, like the Denver game in the 1989 season, you just KNEW they were gonna kill them.

    I don’t think we are gonna run away with it, but I really think we outlast them. Something like 35-24.
