At first I thought you were talking about Bernie Sanders, which gives this a whole new meaning.

I want you to post everywhere..."Go Cheifs!!"
Oh, I’m definitely going to root for KC.
Go Chiefs!
A girl on my softball team's a big Chiefs fan and we have an informal tradition of cheering for each other vicariously (we all went nuts for the Philly fan in the group a few years back).

Even on top of that, though, Mahomes is just special. He's the clear evolution of the position, and for my money the guys that change the way the position is played are the most amazing.

I remember reading about Stefan Mandel. You have him to thank for the stupidly insane odds of winning now.

Yeah, and that's why most of these lottery winners end up broke within a year.
My dad talks about winning the lottery and what he'd do with the winnings all the time. It used to be funny, but man, it's just down right annoying now.

The only time I have played a scratch ticket (or "Scratchies" as they are known around these parts) is when I receive them in a Yankee gift swap or something. I've never won anything on them, of course!

Basically already millionaires.
Hmm, I’m not disputing this, but sounds odd... I do live in London and have played NL occasionally, the only thing I can think of is you’re more likely to buy tickets often in GL during your grocery shops etc.
