Costas calls Chiefs "America's Team"
 
Damn right.

Quote:

The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the most popular teams in sports due to their success on the field and the star power of their players. Super Bowl LVIII will be their fourth appearance in the big game in five years, making them a mainstay on the NFL's biggest stage.

On Wednesday night, the Chiefs received another level of significant praise as legendary broadcaster Bob Costas appeared as a guest on CNN's "King Charles" with Gayle King and Charles Barkley to discuss the Super Bowl. Costas, who has spent many years hosting big football games, has labeled the Chiefs a title that will upset many Dallas Cowboys fans.

"I think the Chiefs, now it can safely be said, are America's team," Costas explained. "The Dallas Cowboys have had that moniker for a long time, and there's still a glamour franchise, but they haven't been at the Super Bowl since the mid-90s. But now the Chiefs have been to four of the last five Super Bowls. They have the best quarterback (Patrick Mahomes) in the game, even though others are really good. He's exciting. He improvisers. He's charismatic."
The Cowboys have been known as America's Team since 1978 in an NFL Films highlight reel by narrator John Facenda. The moniker has been synonymous with the franchise ever since, but according to Costas, it's time to give the Chiefs that label moving forward.

"Andy Reid's been around a long time and went to the Super Bowl with Philadelphia and now with the Chiefs," Costas said. "They've got Travis Kelce and his romance with Taylor Swift, and it's a big deal, to begin with. And now it blows up bigger. Plus, the State Farm commercials. Yes, you don't have to know a screen pass from a field goal to know something about the Kansas City Chiefs. So they're America's team."

It really is hard to believe. 6 years later I still don't feel like it's actually real.

Frazod 02-01-2024 12:13 PM

Dallas can keep that shit.

And I guess I missed the part where Bob Costas became the arbiter of what America likes. I'm fairly sure that most of America hopes we get crushed. And I'm good with that.

Someone stole the Deloreon and the Grey Sports Almanac.

MMXcalibur 02-01-2024 12:27 PM

I dunno.....not really thrilled with that moniker.

I hated when the Cowboys flaunted that stupid shit.

Some aspire to be "America's team." Some have "America's team" thrust upon them.

eh, the chiefs probably picked up 50 million more fans because of Swift..

Frazod 02-01-2024 01:04 PM

As he grows older, Costas looks more and more like my mother-in-law. It's fairly disturbing. :spock:

How's Bob Costa's eye? Haven't seen him relevant since Sochi.

TomBarndtsTwin 02-01-2024 01:10 PM

Bob Costas can go **** himself.

Cowboys organization, fans and players can keep that stupid moniker for themselves. Don't want it.

💯 Costas the Insufferable is by far more detrimental to ratings than Taylor Swift. Dude clearly hates the middle class. He barely gets any time in front of the camera, he’s so bad at hiding his contempt.

Pepe Silvia 02-01-2024 01:13 PM

He was great in Pootie Tang.

Yeah, you know it's bad when even NBC thinks he's too much of an elitist politard douche to be on TV.

Hopefully your mother-in-law isn’t wearing a toupee on her head like Costas.

chiefzilla1501 02-01-2024 01:34 PM

I can tell you living outside of kc market. this shit is real.

It started with my friends kids. The Dads are all diehards of other teams. Their kids love mahomes because he's exciting and fun to watch. The parents have learned to just cope with their kids wearing a mahomes jersey. This has happened for years. It helps that I live in an area dominated by browns and lions fans who are miserable with their own teams

The past few weeks especially my friends wives are obsessed with the chiefs. they aren't obsessed with football, but they understand it since college football is a religion. The past few weeks they're wearing chiefs shirts. the husbands love Taylor swift now because they said they get to watch way more football than they used to.

So yes we are America's team and it's beautiful. And it's especially beautiful because other teams aren't. And also because patriots fans realize they skipped over them because nobody could tolerate those miserable curmudgeons.

Chiefs are the team of the decade. The team of the 20's

Sadly, she passed a few years ago.

You're definitely right about the bad rug, though. The white hair around the ears is a dead give away. Funny how the guy's vain enough to spring for an expensive rug, but too cheap to drop a few bucks on a box of hair coloring. :D

I’ve always thought Costas was a weenie, even as a kid growing in the 80’s. He was a cuck back then, and he’s an older gayer cuck now.

KCRoyalBlue 02-01-2024 02:08 PM

I agree with those saying "**** that moniker". It always brings Dallas to mind and I loathe the ****ing Plowboys.

I'd rather be known as the Evil Red Empire. Love being the villain.

big nasty kcnut 02-01-2024 02:10 PM

We are America team cause the fact is we are not scum like the assboys or patriots.

I never had a problem with him until he got older. Then he became, as the Twitter guy said, insufferable. I stopped watching the Olympics because of him. Although to be fair, that really didn't require much of a push.

I only know that the Chiefs are MY team.

We're definately mid-America's team.

But casual football fans and people who just see stuff here and there about football culturally associate with the Chiefs more than anyone else.

More than that I imagine the Chiefs are known in cultural segments other teams are not.

What a time to be alive.

I feel like this sometimes as well. If you've been a fan of this franchise for a few decades I often have to stop and really take it all in. Through all of the truly horrible f'n years we had. To this.

Doesn't seem real sometimes.

Dang, haven't heard from 'ol pink eye in a while. The Olympics must be this year.
