The Summer of Swift and Kelce
And so it begins. The opportunity of a lifetime to relish summer love beneath Kansas City temperatures. It was a fond evening. Kelce won a Super Bowl and Swift ran for the nearest suite exit. It was the dawn of a new era in Chiefs Kingdom as the franchise currently holds the title of ‘dynasty.’
The beginning of a dynasty did not come so easy for the Chiefs. The Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowl titles, something not accomplished since the 03-04 Patriots, and won against the Niners in overtime. It was yet another tight margin such as last year’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles (38-35).
A 10-point deficit came clawing toward Kyle Shanahan’s nice but decrepit Super Bowl record as Chiefs Kingdom rose to the occasion and brushed off the coverage Fred Warner was providing Travis Kelce a majority of the game.
This game meant war, faith, courage, and determination and the Chiefs fired on all cylinders. This team was successful in stopping the run and Patrick Mahomes meanwhile became a three-time Super Bowl MVP.
It cannot go without saying the hustle and determination Mahomes put into this entire year and the Chiefs organization as a whole. It is on to the summer of Swift and Kelce as both can now exit Las Vegas peacefully and sing “Yeah” by Usher because boy did they do it.

Lion Spike: A Simba Moment
An East African tribe used to do a ritual. It was called the Lion Spike. They would encircle the Lion and insert a spike into the lion’s mouth. Ironically enough, the Baltimore Ravens celebrate with the Lion Spike in their locker room after games.
Now would not it be something if the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions met in the Super Bowl. The Lions have played in two conference championships while the Niners are competing in 19 NFC Championship games.
The 49ers came off a slight, impressive 24-21 victory over Green Bay. Green Bay deserves kudos this season, especially Jordan Love. He may not have withered the same outcome vs. Dallas but finished with a 72.4 rating.
Baltimore, meanwhile, is playing lights out. They defeated the Houston Texans by a huge margin score and look to not skip a beat. Defensively, they made sure CJ Stroud felt uncomfortable inside the pocket, and all the reason to believe DC Mike MacDonald is heading towards a head coaching position.
Baltimore issued a bye week in their initial contests so for them to be well-rested and stoked for the Lions, seems to be a Simba moment.

Tyreek Hill Leaves Practice for Home Fire
Hill has been quite impressive this year with 112 receptions for 1,717 yards, and 12 touchdowns. His final game is this weekend against the Buffalo Bills and meanwhile something less impressive is happening right now.
According to WSVN, Hill’s home erupted in a fire. Hill had to leave team practice and attend to this issue. The Hill family are safe and being closely looked at.
Sports Kingdom wishes everyone involved their safest pursuant efforts in stopping or preventing this catastrophe that was not necessarily seen on a Miami touring episode of the house.
