It is a very non -scientific assessment based on eyeballs. Friday evening, it’s not even close.
Based on what I saw in dinner on Friday evening and when walking a mile at the hotel (with a quick stop for a cigar rolled by hand), fans of the Eagles are fans of the fans Chefs in New Orleans. And it’s not even close.
He stitches with the report of PFT live Producer Matt Casey, who sent a text from the airport after the show ended for the week that everything he saw was the fans of the Eagles.
On the surface, this means nothing. For the moment. If the fans of the Eagles are radically more numerous than the fans of the leaders of Superdome on Sunday, it will work to the advantage of Philly once they will start making noise.
It reminds me of the scene in New York 11 years ago, when during the weekend before the match, it became clear that Seattle fans were clearly more numerous than Denver fans. And I remember distinctly thought: “Holy shit, Seattle will win.”
Of course, nothing seems to make the chiefs vibrate. But if the initial anecdotal evidence continues on Sunday, it will make it even more impressive if / when the chiefs will finish the very first Super Bowl with three peat.
For our official choiceI have the chefs. Simms has the Eagles. We will get the answer in just two days.
