Just got back from the grocery store. I was sporting my Charles jersey and my suede and wool Chiefs jacket so as you can imagine, I looked good. I ran into typical Denver fan there. He was adorned with a Bronco t-shirt that had apparently been the home for a wayward family of moths and a pair of almost but not quite matching balloon pants. I eyed him as he walked into the store ahead of me but said nary a word. We both entered aisle 1 and he stopped, turned back to look at me and the following conversation took place.
Denver Fan: You guys are gunna lose.
Me: They are without their starting QB.
Denver Fan: Doesn't matter. You guys are gunna lose.
Me: You're aware we're 4-0, correct?
Denver Fan: Doesn't matter. You guys are gunna lose.
Me: You've seen the defensive rankings of all the NFL teams, correct?
Denver Fan: Doesn't matter. You guys are gunna lose.
Me: Do you have anything at all to back up your claim other than we're "gunna lose?'
Denver Fan: Doesn't matter. You guys are gunna lose.
Me: Go away or we're going to need a cleanup on aisle 1.
That last line apparently confused him as he started looking around at the floor, as if there was already a mess that needed cleaned up. I took that opportunity to whisk past him, grab the items I needed and surf through the checkout stand as fast as possible. I'm trying to determine if his singular replies were based on stupidity, fear of our team, or a combination of both.
