Unexpected benefits of winning it all
 

I'm not sure I ever fully appreciated that one benefit of making it to (and winning) the Super Bowl is the incredible volume of coverage that we now have of our team. I've always been the type to watch just about every press conference and read every article I can, and the number of both has been so high that I've long ago given up on keeping up.

Add to that the various NFL Films videos, all the talking heads dissecting the game, marathons of Mahomes' best games...it's crazy how easy it is to keep the excitement going even two weeks later.

What other unexpected benefits have we seen?

One of the benefits of waiting so long as well. Today's technology gives us more than we could ever have asked for! All these mic'd up and similar type videos are just awesome.

I mean, I guess we could have won before and now...but it makes it pretty special to have it mean this much because we waited this long, and now we have a boat load of high quality content to cherish it with.

Another thing I've noticed with the little bit of garbage time I YouTube I spend watching Madden players...they're mostly playing with Chiefs or at least with Mahomes. That NEVER used to the be the case.

Used to very rare to see the Chiefs logo. Now it's all over the place. Hunt is absolutely murdering his bank account. heh

It’s free Viagra...

For us out of towners. Women. Heretofore unattainable women.

I kind of wish NFL teams had open books. It'd be fascinating to know roughly how much winning a Super Bowl does for a team's bottom line. It's got to be massive.

The sheer bliss after this season and the SB win is an unexpected benefit. I'm just smiling all the time!

That’s what she said...

Pedestrian answer maybe, but it's a gift that keeps on giving and still feels as cool as the day it happened.

Swag


I swag at work my swagger has swag



Can't touch this swag

The fact that we have Patrick ****ing Mahomes II and no other team can say that. hmmm well ?

Fans of other teams literally have nothing to say. Nothing.

It's great to be king.

A correlated benefit is that I'm not hearing news about tiresome other teams that I'm sick of. So the increase in Chiefs coverage has a double benefit of replacing sickening coverage with delightful coverage.

This is just the beginning.

Benefit:
I will never tire of this.

we are going to have to beat off bandwagon fans with a stick

I’ve said this before but I quit trying to run over the neighbors cat
****er still runs like hell when it sees me coming
sec

I can’t think of any new ones, but the intense media coverage is definitely welcome... it’s nice to not be the afterthought for once

We all bitched about it for years, now our long nightmare is over

I might finally be able to get the whole 'Carl drafted Blackledge' legend off the ground...

Not hearing about the Patriots...

Since winning the SB:

My dick got bigger.

My beard has grown fuller.

My turds have been perfect, light brown cylinders with a cute little pinch off at the end.

My bench press has improved.

My 40 yard dash is now just a hair under 4.22, which is a .04 improvement.

My wife's ass and tits got bigger.

My car got faster

And somehow my bank account grew.

So, things have been pretty good?
sec

I've got chicks sucking my dick and I don't even have to ask them to.

At least I assume they're chicks
:huh:

And the neighbor has stopped trying to run over him with his car.

Wife's ass getting bigger is a debatable blessing.

Not only is there a lot more media coverage, it's a lot more positive.

For years it seemed like anytime there was any video of the Chiefs online or TV it was almost always showing how another team made a good play. The Chiefs were the team that got scored on, or had thrown an interception, or any number of ways that would emphasize how good the OTHER team was.

Not now! We're the champs and everybody has jumped on the train.

I get random people coming up getting on their knees saying Hail to the king baby, it's weird but acceptable.

We are not going to be beating off anybody.

It’s like I’ve completely forgotten about any of our rivals.

The Denver who?

The Oakland what?

Broncos, I think. That crappy team with a Chiefs fan as QB.

I’ve always worn my Chiefs gear out here in L.A. and never heard a peep about it — now everyone gushes about Mahomes and the Chiefs and the Super Bowl everywhere I go. The bandwagon has been overrun.

What a strange world haha, seems like yesterday they had paid a ton behind center now they have a bad team for the foreseeable future.

We basically are playing with house money for the offseason.

The focus now is on paying our own, and not hoping that the front office goes out and makes a splash in free agency that might get us over the hump.


We can sit back, play the field, and just make the most sound decisions for the team without needing a big splurge to try to get the fans excited, and finally win a title.

This will be the first offseason in now 28 years where i will just enjoy watching the process, and just seeing who we bring in without having a meltdown.

Next seasons slate of games, im just going to enjoy the show. We did it. I saw them win it all. Like Pat said. Ill talk about it forever.

We are gonna lose some pieces, and have some challenges, but right now, we are playimg with house money.

I think we see a savage Reid and Mahomes next year that are playing without any pressure, we could really be in for a fireworks show next year.

True story there Bro!!!!!

I say there is room on the bandwagon, but they have no right to cheer as loud because we have had misery to back us up.

I agree with all of that.

Furthermore, I believe that the combination of a Super Bowl win, Patrick Mahomes Andy the additional coverage and thereby marketability of players in KC, will make it an attractive FA destination.

I'm not quite sure how to articulate it, but I guess the overall closure of the achievement.

In every Chiefs season of the past in my lifetime, we'd end the season and I'd always look back on it with some sort of sadness. We didn't win the chip so it wasn't the outcome we were ultimately hoping for.

But now, any time I think of the Chiefs I immediately think about how we're Super Bowl champs. It's a great feeling of.. relief? I don't know. Tough to explain. Like we reached the top finally and no one can take that from us.

It's gonna be nice to not have to listen to opposing fans say shit like "Chiefs are choke artists" or "gonna be one and done" when playoff time comes around. They will now respect and fear us.

Absolutely this! If YOU have NEVER felt OUR PAIN, YOU will NEVER be ONE of US! WE FANS have EARNED THIS!!! Hop on board but you are WAAAAAY too late!

I don't think Oakland even has a team.

Bandwagon fans don't know the horror of herm edward as our coach. Losing joe Delaney and DT. having matt Cassel as a qb. They can be fans but they don't get to enjoy it like us!

I love not having to hear fans of other teams asking me how long it's been since the Chiefs have won a Superbowl.

Belcher

Ehhh.....not sure about this one

Six 40 points game, you heard it here first.

The SB s*"t talking has died off out here with my Donko friends and customers.
Hell, a few of them even tell me "I'm happy for your Chiefs Nation".

It doesn't take as long to get to the combine and the start of draft season.

I'm watching the Superbowl replay on NFLN. It's their #1 Game Of The Year. Pat just threw his second pick. There's 10 minutes left in the 4th and they're driving. Getting pretty worried.

Keep the faith.

How fast the off season goes. It used to seem like waiting for Free Agency seemed to take a year and it's what? Only a month away.

Also how I no longer care if other teams/people I hate in other sports win.

I watched it again Wednesday night.
I woke up the next am having the was it a dream moment AGAIN.
Wife looks at me and asks if there is something wrong.
I was 7 years old for number 4. 57 for 54.
I told her " I need a moment but all is GOOD"

Hell of a route by Watkins there

49er reaction videos on youtube... I've never laughed so hard in my life!

It is priceless

Thing of beauty. Holy shit we just might do this.

We won! We won and this is beautiful.

It just doesn't get old at all. I watched the game again tonight on NFL Network. Still get the chills. Love this team!!!!

DITTO! Man it truly is incredible! :thumb:

The constant congratulations from complete strangers. I highly recommend going to Vegas in Chiefs gear. The women are all over you.

Ya but now we are going pick 32nd in the draft. I mean that's gotta suck right?

Better get used to it. ;)

I’ve tasted the glory
I’ll take some shit for a couple years if it happens
sec

My step mom got flipped off by a Niners fan in Hawaii right after the game when she was wearing her gear. I enjoyed hearing that story. lol

Stud free agents taking less money to play to play for KC.

LMAO

Dammit Patrick!

Yeah, it is like walking into the dollar store with two twenties in your pocket.

Butthurt fans of other teams.

Last night-a lot of people congratulating me AT US BANK STADIUM.

It was funny when a Services rep said "You know we have a dress code here"
I just smiled and said Super Bowl Champs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw a guy wearing a KC Chiefs hat. Near my house.

It looked new. REALLY NEW.

I would guess it would be a niners hat if they won.

It's nice to automatically win every football argument at work.

"Yeah, well, the only thing we're choke'n on now is parade beer..."

The realization that all the ****ing losing and heartbreak made this one even better.

I genuinely hope every NFL fan gets to experience this in their life.

Wore my new Chiefs Super Bowl championship gear out to a big street festival today. Bet I had at least 50 people tell me Congrats, happy for you guys. That Mahomes is amazing, wish Mahones was on my team and so on and so on. Lots of good will towards our team out there.

It’s definitely different now down here being a Chiefs fan.

Watching TV and having a Chiefs SB swag commercial come on; I just smile.

Still getting very little love in the Chicago area. The Didn't Draft Mahomes butthurt is real.

I did see a couple of people wearing 49ers stuff last week. They didn't make eye contact with me. :D

After every ugly loss during Germs years, I always wore my gear the next day.
To me it was always, “ yeah, my team sucks, but there’s next year.”
Said with hope of a new manger/gm, etc.

After that 1st preseason game with Herm as HC and Solari the new OC. Solari came out firing, that’s how Vermeil and CP built the offense.
Then in the presser, Germ says “that shits gonna stop. We’re a running team now.”
And promptly run the piss outta LJ, lol.
The losses just started piling up.
Ahhh, the old days.

We are still a small market BUT this time what fights that small market effect is the fact we have a HUGE DRAW of ratings with PM2 because the whole NFL fanbase loves to watch this guy.;)

The best part about winning the Superbowl is all those shit talking fans from other teams have ghosted this place.

Unexpected benefits of winning it all
 

Walked around the Vegas strip & made sure I always said something to everyone who was wearing Chiefs gear. It was a unifying feeling.

How about those Chiefs!!!!!

Massive truth in this statement.
