Ken - I think that sometimes you miss out on exactly what drives some of on here. I have always been a Chiefs fan and always will be. I followed them throughout the lean years and when Carl and Marty arrived in ’89 I purchased my season tickets. I have missed only 2 regular season games since then. I was transformed into a very passionate fan. I lived and died with the Chiefs successes and failures. The disappointments finally got to be too much for me after the ’97 playoff loss to the Donkeys and I decided that I needed to quit taking the losses so personally. Today it still upsets me when we fail, but I have learned to take it with a grain of salt. I realize that Peterson has made many mistakes (poor free agent signings and poor draft results) over the years and probably doesn’t deserve the contract extension he got. I realize that our coaching staff is subpar and Carl made another mistake hiring Gunther. I realize that Grbac often has mental breakdowns at the most inopportune moments. The thing is though, I make a conscious effort to look for the good, the positive in Chiefs and I always have hope each and every season that we can make it to the playoffs and ultimately the big show (Super Bowl).
