Rooting for a Texans-49er Super Bowl. BOB went to my high school so I’d be thrilled with him winning and for Romeo to get another, and I like Watson. The fans of Houston have put up with a lot of crap too - the inconsistency of the Oilers (kind of like the Bengals of today) including that horrible collapse against the Bills, and then the team being pulled out from under them, being replaced by a lame mediocre team all the while hearing it from Cowboy fans up the road.
When I was growing up, the 49ers were my “adopted playoff team” so I would remain interested in the NFL once the Pats were eliminated in October (I hated the Giants, Bears, Redskins, Cowboys, Broncos, Bills and Raiders) so I’d be happy with them getting it. @Ice_Ice_Brady’s earlier post convinced me why I shouldn’t be upset with them tying us at 6 rings. And I really like that team in general too, including Shanahan. Always been a Jimmy G guy, he was just born 3 years too soon.
I will say this though - while I don’t want the Ravens to win it all and don’t like them, I respect the hell out of them. After the Patriots, they and the Steelers are neck and neck for most successful franchise this century. Harbaugh may be an annoying whiny crybaby, but he’s a helluva coach. It took a strong amount of coaching intelligence and balls to recognize what Lamar Jackson can do well instead of focusing on what he can’t, and to totally go all-in on his strengths despite it completely countering the offensive trends everywhere else in the league. I have to respect them for that, and if they win it all, I’ll begrudgingly tip my cap to them.
