Learn all about who most Houston Texans fans will root for during Super Bowl LIX.
HOUSTON - By now, the participants for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans are set. In a rematch of Super Bowl LVI, The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will take the field, with a lot of high drama, intensity, and...fan apathy?
“I mean, we’ve seen this movie before. Eagles/Chiefs...Kelce vs. Kelce, Taylor Swift, Reid’s two teams...blah, blah, blah.” Noted one unnamed fan. “Might be a close game, might be fun for all I know, but instead, it will just be more extended Mahomes/Reid State Farm commercials, and as many shots of Taylor Swift in the luxury boxes. Yes, the NFL dominates headlines, but who really, really wants to watch that matchup?” one unnamed fan noted.
“Yeah, we already know that the starting lineup for the Chiefs is practically unbeatable”
However, the alternative isn’t exactly engendering much support.
“You want to cheer for the EAGLES??? You know their fans, right? Ok, Barkley is kinda cool, but the rest of them??? Look at what just one of them will do in a game...and that is a tame fan. I was contacting my representatives to see if they could get ICE to deport them.” Another fan noted.
At this point, even with the NFL going on a full media press to promote the Super Bowl, that begs the question: Who do you root for? By all rights, this is a binary question.
Or is it? There is a strong movement afoot in many quarters, where people cannot tolerate either the Chiefs or Eagles hoisting the Lombardi Trophy (No Coach Belichick, it forever remain the Lombardi Trophy, not the Brady) are finding solace in rooting for a third party.
That third party: The meteor.
The meteor? No NFL team, nor current player, goes by that nickname. Also, the Super Bowl, unlike the WWE/TNA/AEW, does not allow for the provision of a triple threat championship match.
Yet, is rooting for “the meteor” really a good thing, and is that even the correct thing to root for?
To answer the later question, we go with what those nerdy, smarty-pants type people say at NASA say. At some points in the anti-Super Bowl LIX discourse, people use “meteor”, “asteroid”, or “meteorite” interchangeably. We figured they could help clear this up.
“First off, stop calling/emailing/harassing us!!!” was the first response our people got, but after a persistent barrage and threats to unleash DOGE-bros on them, the nerds acquiesced and agreed to talk to us. What they provided:
