We have two MLS investor-operators leading their NFL teams to the Super Bowl. Arthur Blank of Atlanta United and the Atlanta Falcons vs. Robert Kraft of the New England Revolution and the New England Patriots.

Is it a coincidence that this has been the most boring NFL playoffs I can remember?. If you're not a fan of the teams playing (and especially those who won) the games have been terrible. I think one was competitive, which more or less matched the MLS playoff 2-game sets this year.

PS: #NotMySuperBowl is trending on twitter if you want some related amusement. There seem to be sufficient jokes to both amuse and annoy all political persuasions. Figure out if you'e more likely to be amused or annoyed before checking.

(Of course, NFL ownership rules dictate that NFL owners cannot own other sports teams, so it's in the names of family members or corporations but still).

The NFL allows cross-ownership so long as it operates in the same market, or in another city without an NFL team.

Dallas vs. Green Bay was probably the best game of the playoffs thus far.

The only one I remember being any good.

Not a Falcons fan but I drove up to the game yesterday with a friend who is. The atmosphere was incredible. Almost lost my voice and could barely hear my friend sitting next to me.
I think the best case scenario was these two teams in the Super Bowl. Should be a very high scoring game.
Will have attended the last game at the Georgia dome and first game at MB stadium.

From what I understand that rule doesn't apply to MLS but Kroenkes also owns NBA and NHL teams which would be applicable.
