Pretty big day for this football fan. The last time the Chiefs played for a conference championship I was 21 years old working as a rodman on a survey crew for seismic out in the wilderness of northwest Alberta. No internet, or smartphones back then. Didn’t know what the score was until we got back to camp that evening. At fhe time I never would have guessed that it would take this long to get back to Championship Sunday.

I have spent my whole adult life cheering for a team that hasn’t won a thing. I’ve probably been to Arrowhead 20 times since then. Had season tickets for 4 seasons. Watched almost every down since the first time I’ve had access to Sunday Ticket 20 years ago. Still, I wouldn’t trade any of it for the excitement I feel right now.

I’m not going to make a prediction, I have a been a Chiefs fan for much to long to be confident about anything. I’m just goimg to enjoy the day. Because I could be 70 years old the next time this happens.

GO CHIEFS!!!!!

Yeah I was 17. I went skiing with friends for the Division win against Houston. Wore my Chiefs starter jacket which really wasn't that warm and it was really cold that day. Black pullover with a front pouch. Has a lot of trash talk from people saying that Montana was done for....he wasn't that day. But the Bills did work the Chiefs pretty good in the AFC title game. That was a one sided affair.

Like you I'll try to enjoy today. The Flames have the weekend off to a great start so hopefully it's a red, black, and gold sweep.

I think the Saints at home are going to be unbeatable, as are the Chiefs.

Ive got a KC-NO superbowl

She's game day, I'm so excited and nervous!!! Only the third time the Saints have even been this far, should be a heckuva game.

I don't like being the first game, waking up late already in pregame stress mode is hard on my nerves haha. Good luck to the Chiefs and Pats fans on here, and WHO DAT!!

That’s my desired result but it’ll be a good day if the Patriots lose.

Hate starting with the ball. O's usually start rusty, and that potential 14 point swing around half time is so much better

Is it just my feed with Shaw or is this a pretty ugly HD feed? I'm getting a lot of pixeling and blur around the grass when the camera zooms out for the plays.

Man, a TD there would have been a lot better (obviously)

If the Saints started the game up 2 scores this could have been over early

I'm quite surprised the Rams O has looked so thrown off by the noise, Marcus Peters said during the week the Superdome crowd isn't a factor..

EDIT: I think watching it on TV at home is much more stressful than being at the game..at the game its kind of a party, you're boozing, high fiving people and chatting to strangers between plays, somewhat distracted...at home it's just me with my thoughts, not drinking, by myself on the couch stressed out of my mind haha

This is exactly why I always prefer deferring (I know Rams won the toss and chose to defer)..classic possible 14 point swing here
