If the Cowboys can't be in the Super Bowl, I would rather see a team that's never won it, such as the Vikings, the Bills, or the Browns, get it. Since that's not possible, it's either going to be the Chiefs or the 49ers. Blech. Not the matchup I wanted. The Chiefs are defending champs, and I'd rather not see them repeat. I'd rather have someone else win it, and the 49ers haven't won it in a very long time. It's been one year longer than the Cowboys. I've never rooted for the 49ers in any of their Super Bowls, especially after they kicked my heart out in the '81 NFCC, which we were about an inch from winning. However, that was a long time ago, and this is not that same 49ers team. Plus, I respect Coach Shanahan. I also like the story of the last guy picked in the draft winning the Super Bowl as a QB. I guess that would be kind of cool. Plus, the area where I live in (Omaha, NE) has Chiefs shirts all over the place, and I'm getting sick and tired of it.

Yes, I know the Elephant in the room is their victory would mean that they have more Lombardis than the Cowboys. However, that's inevitable when Jerry mismanages this team for 28 years. JJ should expect other teams to pass us up. The alternative would be the Chiefs having 4, only being one game behind us and with an organization very capable of getting several more. On a scale of 1 to 10 my motivation for a Chiefs victory would be about a 3, while for the 49ers it's about a 4, so Niners it is. If the Cowboys were playing, it would be a 10. So if the 49ers get it, it will be like, "Ho-hum, that 'Mr Irrelevant' Brock Purdy kid got it; that's nice."
...
Maybe there's also a tiny chance that if Jerry sees a 9ers SB win, he'll be like, "They know what they're doing. Maybe we should emulate them." [Light bulb appears above Jerry's head]. "Their owner isn't involved, and instead hired a qualified GM. I should do that." I know that's grasping for straws. The bottom line is, this SB sucks regardless of which team wins. I scraped the barrel for a feel good story, and the ultra underdog in Purdy is all I could find. I could have gotten more excited about long-suffering fans like Vikes or Bills fans getting it. That would have brought it up to about a 7. Only a Cowboys appearance can bring that up to a 10.
...
Therefore, it's: "All right ..." [Half-hearted clapping] "Go, 49ers, get Purdy his ring." But don't blame me if I fall asleep during the game or switch to watching Youtube videos.
...
Oh, and one more thing. It might be amusing to see Taylor Swift all bummed out that her boyfriend's team lost.
