Thanks for clearing that up MR. Peterson.

Cop out? WTF are you on about? I'm pointing out that there are greater financial incentives associated with having constant 9-7, 10-6 seasons, than there are with going 4-12 for a couple of years then winning the superbowl. That seems the accepted wisdom, anyway.

Change that, however you want to do it, and i'd bet that a) some of the perrenial cellar dwellers would start to perform, and b) the chiefs would start pushing into the playoffs. But then there might be 3-13 seasons aswell.

That's been the problem with the Chiefs for a while. We haven't been willing to field a 3-13 type team, for fear of fan retaliation (poor attendance). No, what we did was to put band aids on broken pipes for the last 8+ years (since the 1998 playoff game against Denver). It's called false hope. The Chiefs have been selling winning seasons since the early 1990's, but the product has no guts to it. No playoff wins in the last 12 years? Are you fuggin kidding me?

I don't wanna hear from CP how fuggin close we are, have been, going be to being a SB contender. We're no closer to that objective than we were when CP took over the Management of this Franchise in the late 80's. Seattle going to the SB just emphasizes how FN pathetic we truely have been.

Well put and the reason I'm done "buying" into the hype of a winning season.

Its all about SB wins dude. Ive never heard a coach say "well its ok we suck cause we still made money through the CBA"
ever see a player or coach wearing a runners up SB ring?

Rhetoric. What motivates Lamar, we are never going to know. But a 17 year tenure (and counting) for the GM which includes one trip to the AFC championship game and bugger all else, suggests to me that Hunt has other priorites. Or that he'd like a SB win but he's not prepared to forego the status quo of winning season after winning season to get one.

I'm not saying that the coaches and players don't work their guts out each and every season.

Stop spending money on the team. Arrowhead is sold out every home game, why would they change what they're doing?

Or, he thinks it is all just luck when you get to the playoff level anyway, and we have just had dumb luck.

And spending a few more million dollars wouldn't guarantee anything anyway, so why waste the money.
