Connelly's Top Ten - 1980's Sports Fans - Exciting Announcement - Big Fund Raiser!

1. Super Bowl?

?

* The team whose tight end (Kelce or Kittle) has a better game - wins

* San Fran should adopt Patriots defense vs Rams 2001 and get crazy physical with Kelce with a chip and then five yard chuck (pick up three flags)

* If it's within one score going into 4th quarter bet on KC - coaching mismatch in the clutch

* Most expensive luxury box at game is $1.8 million - wonder if ticket prices were high at the Roman Coliseum?just before the empire collapsed?
