**** you. nowhere have I ever said I'm going to root for another franchise.
let me tell you a little story. my great grandfather was louis gier, the guy who ran the chevrolet plant in kansas city during the 40's through the early 70's (when he retired/the plant closed down). he was one of a group of guys who was on the team that recruited lamar hunt to move the chiefs to kansas city. my dad, before he was ten years old, had sat in the owner's box because of who his grandpa was in relation to the chiefs. the chiefs are in my ****ing blood, asshole. I was a chiefs fan from the second I first made congnizant thoughts (which I'm not sure you can do in the first place, but that's another matter entirely). nowhere have I EVER said I'm anywhere close to packing up shop and leaving.
the issue is this: when you care for a team as passionately as I do (and a lot of the other 'negative' people), it's bound to stir up strong emotions. you remember the playoff loss to the colts in 1995? I literally ****ing cried. I was twelve years old. I was down for months after that. the 1997 loss to the cheating scum of mile high? I didn't leave my bedroom other than for meals and school for a month straight. the chiefs have given me extreme highs and extreme lows.
up to this point, they've given me everything except that ultimate of sports payoffs: a super bowl victory. in my 23 years of fandom, we've won exactly three playoff games and advanced to the championship game exactly once. is it too much to ask for a competitive team? that's the issue here: while I appreciate that there are 100 ways to skin a cat, I'd like to see results. I don't see that happening with ****ing cassel. I'll eat my words faster than you could imagine if he turns into anything worth a damn. ****, I've wanted a franchise qb in the worst way since montana retired. I've pined for, at different times, brady quinn, byron leftwich, joey harrington, jimmy clausen, matt stafford, mark sanchez and even david ****ing klingler.
the point I'm making, I guess, is **** you. sports fans aren't ****ing robots (although 'true fans' seem to be, which you apparently are a member of). they're allowed to question the leadership. ****, when you've not won a super bowl in 40 years, how could you NOT be ****ing pissed at this team?
so go ahead, drone, keep going along with the party line. I'm allowed to be as pissed as I want to--I've put my time in. it's about ****ing time they pay me back for all the shit I've gone through as a chiefs fan over the years (****, I'll take a playoff win. that's all I ask anymore).
and let's not get it twisted: my main message? **** YOU, ASSHOLE.
