88-year-old's wild Super Bowl streak continues—can he make it to 60?

Most fans dream of going to one Super Bowl. Don Crisman has been to all of them. No exaggeration—this man from Portland, Maine, is about to attend his 59th straight Super Bowl. He’s one of three people alive who can say that. At 88 years old. Yeah, you read that right.

Crisman isn’t ready to stop either. Chiefs vs. Eagles. February 9. New Orleans. He’ll be there. "I feel like I can handle it, so we're going," he said. You almost want to ask: is there anything that can actually stop him?

Almost missing the first-ever Super Bowl... plot twist, he made it

Crisman’s streak could’ve ended before it even began. Picture this: 1967. He’s flying to Miami for the very first Super Bowl. Then, disaster strikes. His plane ices up and gets grounded in South Carolina. That should’ve been game over, but not for Crisman. He hustled his way onto a train.

"Friday night, I booked a train in Columbia... I got to Miami two hours before kick-off," he said. Imagine almost missing Super Bowl history because of bad weather. Insane.

That’s been Crisman’s whole vibe—find a way, no matter what. And it’s not just him. He’s kept this tradition alive with his two friends, Tom Henschel and Gregory Eaton. The three of them are practically Super Bowl legends at this point.

Super Bowl 59 isn't just any game—Chiefs are gunning for history

Let’s talk stakes. The Kansas City Chiefs want to do something no other team has done in modern NFL history: win three Super Bowls in a row. Patrick Mahomes is leading the charge, fresh off a season where he hit a career-high 67.5% pass completion rate. Andy Reid, their head coach, is like a wizard with this team, and let’s be real—no one’s surprised they’re back in the spotlight.

This season, Mahomes threw for nearly 4,000 yards, while Travis Kelce remained his go-to guy with 823 receiving yards. The Chiefs crushed the competition with a 15-2 record. They’re not here to mess around.

Now, Philly’s not just going to hand over the trophy. The Eagles have a chip on their shoulder, and it’s personal. Kansas City already beat them in Super Bowl 57. That’s still fresh. This time, they’re looking for revenge.

Jalen Hurts is in the form of his life, combining for 32 total touchdowns (18 passing, 14 rushing). Oh, and Saquon Barkley? Absolute beast this season—2,005 rushing yards. Philly’s defense is stacked too, with Zack Baun racking up 151 tackles. The Eagles aren’t scared of anyone.

Second Super Bowl showdown in three seasons. Buckle up.

Andy Reid might be the key to this whole thing, coaching both sides of history

Andy Reid is probably the most awkward but perfect X-factor in this matchup. He’s the greatest head coach both teams have ever had. His history with Philly is deep—he led them for 14 seasons before moving to Kansas City. And now? He’s led the Chiefs to seven playoff appearances and four Super Bowl games. Talk about awkward reunions.

Reid’s success is undeniable. In Kansas City, he’s 143-53, and with Mahomes, that’s a near-perfect duo. Philly knows this. They lived it.
