Yeah, it's always something, isn't it? That 5-13 playoff record and not one playoff win in 13 years, is just an amazing freaking coincidence.

Great Oline

Promising QB who will only get better

Best RB/FB combo in NFL

Best TE in NFL

WR's could be better but as KC has shown, you have a Gates or Gonzalez with a great running game you don't need a true #1WR.

Great 3-4 Dline including the best (or top 3) DT in the NFL.

Best overall defensive player in NFL.

Good surrounding LB core.

Secondary could use some work.

If the Chargers focus on WR's and the secondary this offseason they could go a long ways. If I were them I would try and get Nate Clements. Perhaps trade up to get Dwayne Jarrett depending on what he does at the combine. SD has some room the trade up this season. SD has most of the starters locked up for another few seasons. AJ Smith was reeruned for keeping Marty as long as he did this off season. Cam Cameron would have been the perfect candidate for the job. SD had a very good offense and you don't fix what's not broken (cough cough Herm, cough).

This is like being married to Roseanne Barr, and bitching about some period when she was relatively fit and attractive. Ooh, she wasn't Carmen Electra. Well, the rest of the time you've been married to a fat slob.

Some of us would have never married Rosanne Barr in the first place, even if we had known that she'd be hot for a short period. :D

You do realize that in my analogy; Married to Roseanne = Being a Chiefs fan?

Yes, I misworded my response.

Some of us WISH we would have never married Rosanne Barr...

What I like best is these same people you're describing are the same people that have season tickets. If you don't like what the team is doing or what direction they're heading (constant mediocrity in the Chiefs case) the best way to let the organization know is to drop your season tickets if you have them. Why pay for a loser? I'm a fan, but that doesn't make me less of one because I don't have season tickets. Although, according to Carl, it does.

At least the bitch stopped making promises she couldn't keep. Some guys are just masochists I guess.

By the way, I assume in your analogy the "period when she was relatively fit and attractive" was the years when Marty was coach.

I would remind you that even when she was fit and attractive, she was still Rosanne Barr - loud and annoying, as always.

I guess it's just a matter of perspective, if a Patriots Fan [One Mr. Brad Pitt-Jolie] said Marty was subpar, I'd have to shrug and concede. But when a Chiefs fan says it, my response is 'well that's as good as you/us guys have ever had it.'

If one lived in a vacuum, or was a defeatist, that would be perfectly valid. But it doesn't matter if that's as good as we've ever had it. We've already seen better, with other teams.

That's sort of like when you really want a steak, but all you have is a can of spam. So you settle for the spam. It might even taste okay if you're hungry enough, but at the end of the day it's still just spam.

And someone, somewhere, is eating your steak. And laughing.




I don't really know what all that means, but it sounded interesting.

That week you slept in a cardboard box was FAR superior to the rest of your life sleeping in a doorway and getting stepped on.

You should be thankful for that box, and shame on you for wishing that you had an apartment.

I think you're extending the metaphor too far. More like, you should be ashamed of the home you bought and paid for and raised your family in, because it's possible to own a Central Park West Penthouse Condo [others have done it], so I'm glad I left my home and family to walk the earth homeless like Caine in Kung Fu.

My wife stopped giving me fiery cases of gonorhea, now she just refuses to have sex with me. You don't know what you got until it's gone.
