It's almost like the Chiefs agreed to lose [View all]

I followed the game on YouTube, so didn't really see it. But, by half time, you know, I was really worried. And then, in the 3rd quarter, I started just hoping they'd get on the board with anything. You always play through until the last possible moment. Never quit trying. But, geez, what happened?

I prefer to think ETTD happened. But, no excuses. It was just a terrible game. The thing that stands out to me is that there was something wrong with Chris Jones. And, Trump left at half time. There are many ways to show courage. His team is losing, half time didn't include his favorite music, so he slithered out. How disrespectful is that? He is a coward.

Kelce had said it was an honor to play before the pResident. It turned out it wasn't. After making such an entrance, "Look at me," trump didn't stand with his men. He cut and ran. He is an absolute coward. He left them bleeding in the field. It's just a game, but it is symbolic.

It isn't true that Trump doesn't like football. He was part of that rogue league (can't think what it was called, but it was pretty prominent.) He played around there and tanked the league. Then, when the Bills in the NFL became available, he tried to buy that team for two or three billion bucks. At that time, he was said to be worth three billion. But, the family or league, whatever, turned his bid down, and the Bills dodged a very big bullet.

He tried to coopt Tim Tebow by announcing an association that wasn't true, and Tebow had to deal with that. Regardless of what you think about Tebow, and I have a few reservations myself, he is a decent guy, and one of the smartest things he did was not being swayed by tRump. tRump had some sports paraphenalia about Tebow, but I don't remember what that was. But, ETTD, and Tebow became an announcer.

If I were the Chiefs, I'd have every player's back. tRump gets even with anybody and everybody who gives him trouble. I'd say losing the Super Bowl in such a shocking manner qualifies.

There was talk recently about expanding the number of teams in the NFL. They better wait until Donald Trump dies to do that. Because, ETTD is in full effect, and Donald getting a team is not wise.

Regardless of Brittany Mahomes' endorsement of tRump, I wish them well. I hope most of the players stay with the team and that they have a great future season. It was just one of those things. At least the Eagles are happy. I would have loved the threepeat, but it just wasn't there.
