I am a fan of this team because I grew up loving them...I spent my youth riding a bicycle 15 miles to watch the Chief's practice at William Jewell. I remember watching them in awe as only a kid can....acting as an "unofficial ball boy" when the kid who was supposed to do it didn't show up. I've seen a Super Bowl loss, and I have seen a Super Bowl win....I've watched Dawson, Bell, Lanier, Lynch, Thomas (Emmitt and Derrick), Smith (Noland and Neil), Okoye, Montana and Allen....I've seen feats and failure....field goals and fumbles.
I've seen this team be pathetic before and right themselves by finding the right mix...no pathetic Coach, sad sack player, or misguided General Manager will make me change my loyalty. I'll be a fan during these bad days knowing that inevitably this will all change.

I forgot. I also remeber my Dads Dump Steadman t shirt. As a kid it didnt mean that much to me. Now it does.
