Chiefs Defeat 49ers in Super Bowl LIV
At the start of the fourth quarter, the San Francisco 49ers lead the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10. Then they decided to relax. The Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs roared back with 21 unanswered points, winning the game 31-20.
Congratulations to coach Andy Reid, and all the loyal Kansas City fans who have waited 50 years to get back to the Super Bowl.
I’m a Packers fan, so I didn’t have a dog in the hunt. I was pulling for the Chiefs but predicted a three-point victory for the Niners. What were your thoughts on the game?

Soccer and basketball are excellent competitive team games for almost all age groups and sexes without requiring high-level skills and both provide good exercise. Baseball is the perfect team game for high skill male athletes. Competitive sports don’t suit all people.
Niners were rising in the second half of the 2017 season, but were set back in 2018 by the early season-ending injury to Garrapolo. That actually ended up helping them, because it allowed them to draft Bosa in this past year’s NFL draft (Bosa apparently being a Trump fan while also living up to his high draft selection, it’s going to be interesting to see how the Bay Area media handles him as a contrast-and-compare to the support they gave Kaepernick — the Twitter sewer is already going after him today)
I believe there are specialty bars for that sort of thing, but I’m with you in spirit. I just have a problem with the lack of any moral conscience concerning the young sons and daughters watching with their folks. Isn’t this the #metoo movement generation?
Sorry
Sorry
It was a great game. I was pulling for the Chiefs, without feeling very strongly about it. It’s almost always best when we get a close, hard-fought, clean game. Of course, if your favorite team is playing, it’s fun to be on the winning end of a blowout.
Umm . . . not my quote.
Long time Chiefs fan. We’re ecstatic! On the other hand, what a game. The Chiefs O-Line had a phase where they couldn’t block a breeze, let alone a line-backer. And the D seemed to be unable to interrupt the 49ers’ passing game. The most important play of the night was the 49ers with a false start on the goal line seemed to give the Chiefs the break in the game they needed to get their heads back in. And the Pass Interference (seriously, just jumping into a receiver?) that put the Chiefs on the goal line to start their comeback.
Winning dirty -relying on the SF screwups. But hey, after 50 years, I’ll take it.
Got me too. What’s going on?
The offensive pass interference call on Kittle also was huge, but I thought it was right.
That’s what defenders do when they get beat badly. If not that, Mahomes finds another way.
Probably had mine highlighted while trying to respond to you guys.
Right. It was probably unnecessary since the pass was perfectly thrown and the defender was beat.
What, no latinas?
Have you folks heard about the lame attempt to de-genderfy Spanish? They came up with the term “Latinx”. Even Hispanic feminists hate it . . .
I have not heard. It would seem impossible with the Romance languages.
From what I’ve heard the overwhelming majority of Hispanics find it ridiculous at best. It’s yet another attempt by over-educated white women to tell minorities what they should be offended by.
Also: Considering how important gender is to Spanish grammar, wouldn’t trying to remove it be a case of imposing Western values?
I could deal with this whole thing much easier if all the attention was on the biological word ‘sex’ instead of the language and grammar word ‘gender’. I suppose anyone who thinks they are not male or female could then propose new words that fit their identified ‘sex’.
It is, but that’s never stopped the left from trying the slay the patriarchy . . .
YEA! Great idea! If the game is not enough, then do something else.
Who is this “Jello” woman?
I remember it well. Kind of embarrassing.
That’s only when viewed from behind.

Well, this was me last night:
LatinX looks like a typo.
