A Pennsylvania coroner has announced ‘death’ of the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII
As Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce might say, we have a Jabroni Alert.
Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, politicians have made bets, as have choirs, and there’s been no shortage of animals making “picks” for the big game.
However, it seemed we might be spared another strange decree about the Chiefs from an elected official. As you recall, Cincinnati’s mayor was eviscerated for his trash-talking proclamation by Kelce after the AFC Championship Game*.

But on Friday a coroner in Pennsylvania offered an unusual take on the Chiefs.
Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio put out a press release giving a cause of death for the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. Here is what it says:
“Kansas City Chiefs — Various age ranges; Kansas City, MO
“The Kansas City Chiefs will be crushed and laid to rest on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona. Pronouncement will be completed by the Philadelphia Eagles upon completion of the Super Bowl! Go Eagles!”
You don’t often hear of coroners getting involved in football trash-talk, so that’s a new one.
