I am a die-hard Raider Fan—not a delusional Raider Fan—but a dedicated one. I’ve gone back and forth for almost 2 weeks, and I’m not sure who the hell I want to win.
I have disparaged Brock Purdy all year long. The guy sucks. There are 20 other NFL QBs that would’ve gotten the 49ers to where they are now—the Super Bowl. Doesn’t mean the guy hasn’t brought value to the organization, and hasn’t made plays, but the roster has carried that man?
I was programmed to hate ‘The City by the Bay.’ They’ve been blessed with great ownership in Eddie D. and legends such as Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, and Bill Walsh… the list goes on. So tell me… how could I possibly route for THE HATED ONES across the Bay?
Now, the Chiefs. The Raiders’ most historic rival. The Chiefs have owned our asses for the last 30 years. And now, they’re so damn mainstream. They make the Backstreet Boys look like Bone Thugs n Harmony.
So you tell me… what’s a 50-year-old husband, father, and grandfather supposed to do this Sunday? I’m not sure I can watch either team raise the Lombardi Trophy in the Allegiant Stadium.
