When I was a kid, my dad hung a poster on my wall. My brother and I shared a room. The poster was an endzone pileup between the Raiders and the Chiefs. My dad is from San Francisco and is a 9ers fan, my mom is from Oakland. In any case, I don't know if he intended it to be anything other than a football thing for his sons' room.

I picked the guys in Red. My brother went with the ones in Silver. Mine stuck (he became a Saints fan). I suffered through the shitty late 70's, 80's, loved the 90's but like all of us was ultimately disappointed, and as my username indicates, I am still In Chiefs Hell...but I will never give up on 'em.

Wish I still had that poster...

In August '81 we moved from Topeka to KC. I liked the NFL before that but didn't have a favorite team. I guess the Chiefs became my fav by default.

My reason? They hired Charlie Weis, who in turn will be hiring a family member of mine.

older brother took me to a game in 1984; stadium was empty; we followed the sun around the stadium (upper) to keep warm. I think he said his tickets were like $13/each or something like that.

Afte rthat I always wanted to go; then when they started showing up on TV, I was hooked.

I 'blame' my brother. lol

When they moved here ( KC ) from Texas ! Yes, I'm old school !

Originally I was a 49'ers fan because of Jerry Rice.

Then I got taken to a Chiefs game to see Joe Montana's first game and I was sold ever since.

The atmosphere in arrowhead during a defensive stand was the greatest. I miss DT.
