The Sports Random Thought Thread

Live footage of the collective of Bills Mafia after the game:

I keep telling everyone never to bet against the Chiefs in the post season. Last season all the sports media pundits tried to say that the Chiefs were on the decline and the won the damn Super Bowl, lol.

The upside to this is that all the right people will spend the next two weeks like this about Taylor Swift

Lowkey wishing the Chiefs win another Superbowl so that the right will have a collective meltdown as they showcase Taylor Swift's excitement as they pan out for every commercial break. In continuation of the absurdity of this timeline, the Swifties may end up being the saviors of American democracy after she encouraged her fans to vote and right-wing media had a collective meltdown at the very thought of young people participating in the democratic process and proceeded to target her relentlessly.

Well, I have a reason to want the Chiefs to win (obviously I don't want to talk about yesterday) but I hope every single conservative that's burned their $500 Dak Prescott jersey or smashed a Keurig or stopped drinking Bud Light because it could turn them gay - enjoys the next two weeks immensely. Even the grating State Farm commercials can be the only commercials shown anywhere at this point.

I believe the Chiefs of Kansas City proved to be the more formidable warriors.

Easy now, keep up this top notch commentary and you're going to have your own ESPN show before you know it.

At the end of the day, whichever ball club can come in here tonight and put up the most points has a good chance of winning this one, Chuck.

In my part of the credits I'm gonna catch a baseball. Someone else can pretend to throw a foot ball towards the camera, and someone else can swing a golf club and look into the distance. We'll take a bunch of b reel They'll put it on an espn. We've got Zazz.

16 grand for 2 tickets in the back rows of Allegiant Stadium equals insanity

it should equal an empty stadium. Good lord that's a lot of money. I guess the Giant to slay is named Ticketmaster.

Most major league sporting events have largely priced out the general consumer -- it's merely a microcosm of what is happening in most areas of life for average folks.

The vote in KC against taxpayer $$ for a new stadium is indicative of this trend and the pushback by voters. Good. Owners want a new place they can pay for it.

The run up to the NFL Draft - we went downtown on Tuesday to check stuff out. The city looks amazing all over the place.

I watched the Bears season opener with my Dad on Sunday, and that was an interesting game. It looked like they were going to lose in the first half, and then they pulled off a victory in the second half.

I watched the American League playoffs a bit with my family. I wanted Detroit to win, but it was not to be. I found a video Jack White shared of his Instagram where he was driving a tour van in Colorado and listening to the Tigers. I imagine he must have been disappointed.

How does one choose a sports team to pledge their fealty to? By what rites or oaths is such devotion instilled? Where does the actual copulation come into play to make it sport?

I just base it on where I live or where I used to live.

If it's a situation where those teams are out of the running, i just go he affinity. I see Detroit as an underdog city, a little like Philly ( I wouldn't describe Chicago that way). I would have been really excited to see either of those teams face off against the Yankees. (Sorry @xenaprincess if you're a Yankees fan)

You have to let the mascot lob hardballs at you for an hour for the initiation. I can't comment on copulation.
