This year’s Super Bowl is particularly painful for Kansas City Chiefs fans. The team is only one Dee Ford offsides penalty or a lost overtime coin flip removed from being in this Super Bowl—a unique level of torture even for K.C. fans.
The end result for Chiefs Kingdom is a Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots, a match-up which makes it feel like K.C.’s magical, record-setting season was a whole lot of build up just for a long, loud fart. While that may be the pinnacle of comedy at the expense of a fanbase, it’ll take a few years of distance before the stink stops making me hate my life.
