Same here exactly. I am not passionate at all about the niners....I mean I root for them in the NFC but I do not own anything of the niners, BUT we could go to more niner games ......

ALthough I really prefer watching games on the High Def so that isn't too big of an issue for me. I just hope I don't inflict like 20 years of sadness on a child, like the last 20+ years has been for me..(yes some fun moments too...)

Seriously, why would you knowingly do that to someone you love? The Chiefs are a curse, not a blessing.

So now I am thinking about brining him into our misery as Chiefs fans. What kinds of things have you done to spark a young child's interest in football? I know it is ultimately up to him but I want to make Sunday's kind of special for him and I.

As a lifelong Chiefs and Royals fan, im going to have to advise you to steer him towards becoming a Yankee, Lakers, Patriots and Steelers fan,.

My kids only know frustration from 2003 forward...they have no idea what Ive witnessed since the early 80's and of course my father who was at the Christmas Day game.

At any rate, he will gravitate to your team...sorry.

As for who he roots for... Pray the Chiefs are good. No kid wants to hear how his team sucks from kids at school. When he gets older, maybe he associates the enjoyment with those days watching KC with you.

When he sits with you for an entire game, it's a milestone....you'll be so proud. Hopefully, Cassel wont be behind center.

My two eldest, now take the ribbing as a sense of pride...my oldest boy had a KC backpack, on the east coast, mind you. Of course, mostly, Redskin and Cowboy fans around here, so the smack was limited.
