"Man, it's so weird watching the Super Bowl on TV..." Massachusetts pouts on the living room sofa.

"It's honestly kinda refreshing." Maine hands her brother a plate of buffalo wings to snack on. "As much as I like the luxury suites and the loud atmosphere, watching the game at home is a nice change of pace."

"I guess. I still haven't forgiven the Dolphins for ruining everything," he grumbles.

She rolls her eyes playfully. "It's always Florida's fault."

He groans, "I'm going to miss the GOAT if he does decide to leave the Pats. It's not going to be the same without him."

"Cheer up, Mass. At least he got us six Super Bowl wins."

"Yeah. No one can take those away from us..." He cuddles his six Lombardy trophies.

In a luxury suite at Hard Rock Stadium, Florida and her friends watch the Super Bowl Halftime show, enjoying the performance until the second half of the game resumes.

"That's my flag! That's my flag!" Puerto Rico hops up and down, full of pride and excitement.

"Do you know what she's saying? I don't know Spanish!" Kansas yells above the noise.

"Just know those hips don't lie! Woo! Go, Shakira!" Florida sways her hips to the music.

California and Missouri get some drinks at the bar while continuing to argue over football.

"No, I'm not a bandwagoner. I'm truly a 49ers fan. I've always rooted for them," California stubbornly maintains.

"What about last year then? I don't recall seeing you wear a 49ers jersey when they were the second-worst team that season. Oh, that's right. You were wearing a Rams jersey when they were actually good," Missouri points out.

"Oh my god! Why are you still hung up over the Rams? They were originally from Los Angeles."

"They were originally from Cleveland, but whatever. Though I'll miss having a football team in St. Louis, at least they won a Super Bowl during the twenty years they stayed in that city." She smirks.

She huffs, "Don't be too proud of yourself. The 49ers are going to get the job done and win the Super Bowl for me once they beat the cursed Chiefs."

"Cursed?"

California cackles, "Once the second half of the game starts, you'll see what I'm talking about."

"3rd and 6, Mahomes throws a pass toward Hill— It's intercepted by 49ers cornerback Tarvarius Moore who returns it to the 49ers 20-yard line!" the announcer shouts in astonishment.

"Fuck!" Missouri and the rest of the Chiefs Kingdom have their hands clasp on the back of their necks, completely in disbelief of this second interception.

"Yeah! We got this in the bag!" California and the 49ers nation cheer and clap to what looks like the ultimate victory over the golden horizon.

Kansas frowns. "Is this the curse California was talking about?" she asks her neighbor.

"Of course not!" Missouri scoffs. "Curses aren't real."

"But this one is real!" California smiles confidently with a pointy nose. "It's called the Madden Curse. Any player to be featured on the video game cover of Madden will have shit happen to them. So, it isn't surprising, at least to me, Mahomes is performing like diarrhea right now."
