Hooray
Well, there’s only one game left on the schedule for the 2024 NFL season, and with two weeks before it happens you’re likely going to be hearing a lot of people complaining about it.
Super Bowl LIX. . .that’s 59 for you non-Romans out there. . .is set for New Orleans on 9 February, and it will see the Philadelphia Eagles representing the NFC and the Kansas City Chiefs on the AFC side.
Yes, this is a rematch from the Super Bowl we saw just two years ago in Arizona, when the Chiefs won a great game by a final score of 38-35 on a field goal with less than ten seconds to play, and this one looks like it could be an outstanding game as well.
But, man, are people unhappy about it.
Fans of our Minnesota Vikings have, honestly, got to be a bit displeased that Philadelphia is there again. The Eagles crushed the Vikings in their opportunity to play a Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium to end the 2017 season, and they’re not exactly shy about letting us know about it when the opportunity arises.
On the other side, it’s quite possible that a lot of people are suffering from “Chiefs fatigue,” given that this will be the fifth appearance in the Super Bowl for Kansas City in the last six years. They’re going for a three-peat, something that has never been accomplished by any team in the Super Bowl era.
The game is set, folks, and 30 other NFL teams are preparing for the 2025 free agency signing period and the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. (Yes, the Twin Cities can’t get the Draft, but literally every other NFC North city can apparently get it.) Are you going to be watching in two weeks when the 2024 NFL season comes to an end?
