48% of us will watch the Super Bowl on Sunday and you could see history in the making. The Chiefs could become the first team in NFL history to win 3 consecutive Super Bowl Championships.

If you are watching Sunday, what are you watching for? Most will watch for a good game, some for the commercials, some for the halftime performance, the rest just don’t care or they’re going to the watch party for the free food and booze.

So, if you’re like me and you don’t care who wins, I have 3 reasons to get behind the Eagles and 1 for the Chiefs and they’re all local reasons…


The Philadelphia Eagles have 3 players from Central Florida:

Jalen Carter went to Apopka High School. He’s #98 and is a Defensive Tackle.

Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson went to Cocoa High School and he was also a Florida Gator. He wears #8 for the Eagles.

#58 Jalyx Hunt went to University High School (Orange City) and he’s a Linebacker


What about the Chiefs? Who does Kansas City have on their roster that’s local?

#74 Jawaan Taylor went to Cocoa High School and he was a FL Gator. He’s a tackle on the O-Line.
