Alright look, we get it. While some of us are the most excited about the fact that the Atlanta Braves are about to start spring training tomorrow, we clearly know that the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles is going to be on most of your minds today. Hell, my father-in-law is a diehard Chiefs fan and I am going to be eating wings and watching it with him....mainly to make sure he doesn't go on walkabout into the woods if things go sideways for the Chiefs this evening.
As is going to be customary go forward, when lesser sports have important games going on, we are going to have an open thread here for Braves fans to comment on as the game is ongoing. If you are looking for a quick preview of the game from folks that know what is going on, our friends over at ESPN put together a nice preview. If you are like me and want to know the most important prop bets going on for this Super Bowl, BetSided has you covered with their prop bet mega guide. I have a good feeling about that Trent McDuffie action in my humble opinion.
Sure, we could make an attempt to tie this into Braves baseball (Patrick Mahomes did get drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 14th round in 2014 and the Braves traded with the Tigers this past offseason to get Joe Jimenez...see, only two degrees of separation or whatever), but really in our heart of hearts, we know you only care about the football today and we forgive you.
To those traveling to and from Super Bowl gatherings, have a blast and stay safe out there. Let us know in the comments who you have winning tonight, comment along as the game unfolds, and we will get back to the important business of baseball chatter tomorrow.
