So I was hoping they were going to win it this year and I certainly didn't see what happened on the weekend coming. I'd usually be wanting the team that had won the previous year to be beaten, but I'll be supporting Kansas City because even someone with such a patchy knowledge of the game as me can see that Mahomes is something special - as is Brady of course, but, perhaps wrongly, I'm not a fan of his because of Deflategate.
