The World Deserves To See Andy Reid Let Loose At A Super Bowl Parade
It is commonly said that there are 5 stages of grief. You have denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But when you’re dealing with the death of a sports season for your favorite team, there’s another stage tacked on to the end there. Once you come to terms and accept the fact that your favorite team’s season is over, you then need to decide which of the remaining teams you’d like to see continue winning and which teams you need to lose or else it’ll feel like your heart is getting ripped out of your soul again. So last night as an Eagles fan obviously sucked a big ol’ bag of dicks. But today it’s time to move on. It’s time to accept the fact that the Birds are no longer going to be “Defending Super Bowl Champs” and it’s time to figure out how we want to see the rest of the NFL Playoffs go.
Do you root for the Saints? The team that just knocked you out of the playoffs and then went on to celebrate the win by blasting Meek Mill in the locker room? For sure not.
Do you root for the Rams? Another NFC team with one of the most promising young coaches in the league with a young franchise quarterback who was drafted 1 spot ahead of the Eagles’ young franchise quarterback? For sure not.
Do you root for the Patriots? Next question.
So do you root for Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs? Abso-goddamn-lutely you do. And you know what? It shouldn’t just be Chiefs and Eagles fans rooting for Kansas City on Sunday. It should be the entire world rooting for the Chiefs to win two more games this season. Because the world has waited long enough to witness Andy Reid letting loose at a Super Bowl Parade, and we deserve to see it at least once before we all die after the sun engulfs the planet.
I mean sure, Andy has technically already won a Super Bowl as an assistant in Green Bay. But that’s not the same as being a Super Bowl winning head coach. The Eagles already got to avenge their Super Bowl 39 loss to New England in last year’s Super Bowl. It only makes sense that Andy Reid gets to avenge that loss himself against New England this week and then follow that up with a Super Bowl oof his own on February 3 in Atlanta. Just imagine if this beautiful creature gets his paws on the Lombardi Trophy again, and for the first time as a head coach.
How many possible times can we watch Brady and Belichick win? We’ve already seen Drew Brees and Sean Payton win. Jared Goff and Sean McVay haven’t put in nearly as much time into this as Andy has. Andy Reid deserves a parade and the world deserves to see it. It would be un-American to root for any other outcome.
Best part is that Andy would probably still be rocking shorts for the Super Bowl parade in early February.
