KCWolfman,
Read your article, and it is very accurate. I don't know if you take me as one of the negative people or not, and am not concerned with that. What I am concerned with is the state of the team that puts more joy into my life than any other sports team team, college or pro. That is the KC Chiefs. I have followed them through thier glory years in the late 60's and early 70's, the bad times of the 70's and 80's, and the good times of the 90's.
Even though I had high hopes every year through the 70's and 80's that "this will be the year we break through" and didn't, I remained loyal to my team.
In all of my years of following the Chiefs, I feel I have become a little wiser (maybe not, but I feel that way). I see a disturbing trend the last 3 or 4 years that is taking us closer to the days of the 70's and 80's, than to the glory years of the late 60's. I enjoy seeing my team win as much as the next Chiefs fan, but am not satisfied with the mediocrity of the 9-7 pattern that we are in at this point. I would be if I could see signs of a 9-7 team that is ready to take it to the next level, but I can not see that.
We have, IMO, average players at the wrong places, and great players where average players would suffice. Even though I am not enamored with our coaching staff, I am not sure they are blessed with a lot of options as to what they can do. Plus, we have dug ourselves into salary cap hell, which we will have to pay for at some point in time.
That is why I am in favor of the house cleaning that needs to take place every once in a while. It does not mean that I am not a true fan. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth!<BR>
