Did you try to tell/explain to your wife/significant other about CARL resigning?

[TinyEvel]

I guess this mostly applies to out-of towners?

Sitting at dinner at ISLANDS tonight I ordered the LARGER beer. An justified it by explaining to Mrs. Tiny that Carl stepped down and what it means.

I think she was more interested in getting me to supervise the kids coloring of the menu.

:yawn:

My son mentioned it to his mom and she could only say "Carl?"

Once I said Peterson, she stopped what she was doing and said "About damn time."

My wife understood what it meant. I was in junior high when Carl came to power. At the time I didn't even know what a GM was, and definitely didn't notice it. For me the coach was the head of the organization known as the Chiefs.

Today I basically just told her that the Japanese had finally offered their unconditional surrender.

A new chapter of our lives was beginning, and I would always cherish December 15th, and remember where I was when I heard the news. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you that I lived to see the end of this long, dark era.

No wife/significant, but was talking to one of the Chefs (actual cook/chef) here, who also is from KC area, and he's thrilled about it also. So to celabrate, he's going to cook up a couple of steaks for our lunch about 3 am. :D

[crazycoffey]

yes I did, but she's met warpath who has a dammit carl t-shirt signed by the fallen carl, so she put that past info into her understanding.

I followed with, many on Chiefsplanet disagree with the coaches, several players, base O and D, but nobody will say, "carl shouldn't have resigned."

she understood and said "baby, lets go celebrate. then have sex and go to bed."

I think I may have to marry this one......

[Phobia]

My wife told me the moment the Star sent out the breaking news bit. She already knew it was huge news. But then, my wife is pretty awesome.

Me < 1 year haha

[teedubya]

I told my wife, and she said "Fuck yeah!" and then she made Chicken Lasagne to celebrate.

[Sure-Oz]

I called the gf at work, she was ecstatic, so she came home and brought some champaigne to celebrate and made some lasagne garlic bread and salad, she rules!

[JOhn]

Well I had my steak for lunch, now back to work( surfing the net, ROFL).

[Abba-Dabba]

My wife asked me if I knew and we celebrated by having leftovers!

[kysirsoze]

I was 9...beat that.

I was 5. I've never known anything but a Carl-run Chiefs franchise. I grew up in KC but now live in LA. I was jumping all over my apartment in excitement...... and no one understood. That's fine. I can't wait for the next few years. Hopefully we don't get another Carl.

[Hound333]

See I running through the house with all the joy and glee of a 7 year old on christmas morning to tell my wife the good news. Instead I get this.

(barely looking up from her work) "Thats great honey, anything else because I am busy"

She soooooo lied to me about liking to watch Chiefs games when we were dating.

[PhillyChiefFan]

Yes I did.

She looked like a deer caught in headlights, she didn't understand why I was so happy about it.

All she said was "Ok, good then. Maybe you will be in a better mood on Sundays next season."

:)

[PhillyChiefFan]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

[Fire Me Boy!]

I told my wife and she said exactly the same thing I said when I saw it here: "Ho. Ly. Shit."

[PhillyChiefFan]

I told my wife and she said exactly the same thing I said when I saw it here: "Ho. Ly. Shit."

That's exactly what I did, before I started yelling and pumping my fist and scaring the ever living sh*t out of my dog.

[InChiefsHeaven]

My wife reacted appropriately...she said "No way, really??" She's a Donk fan (I still love her though) and she's always said that as long as Carl is in KC and Al Davis is in Oakland, she never feels like she has to worry about the Chiefs or Raiders...well...now that's changed!!

[the Talking Can]

i told her we're doing anal tonight

she said, "wait, was Carl fired?"

[JOhn]

[Bugeater]

My wife has no idea who in the hell Carl Petersen is.

[PRIEST]

Oh yeah , between my Son & I the wife thought we won the lottery .Then I told her and she smiled ,she knew :evil:

:yawn:

That's funny. I saw the news on Mike and Mike this morning...and my first instinct was to tell my wife. But knowing that she would have no appreciation for what I was talking about, I decided to sign back into Chiefs Planet after a six or seven month hiatus.

[luv]

Tried explaining it to my mom.

[Hoover]

It was poker night for me and they guys I play with are not KC fans or really NFL guys, more college football fans. I kept talking about how Carl quit, at one point I called the whole table a bunch of Carl's because they folded and started to laugh like a school girl. They didn't get it.

[windwalker]

Damn, Now i really feel old, I was 22 y/o when he came to power. :eek:

I was already teaching at Coastal Carolina, but then I am old... LOL

[Fire Me Boy!]

I was already teaching at Coastal Carolina, but then I am old... LOL

Whoa... windwalker, we should get a beer.

Not too many Chiefs fans in MB.

[kc rush]

My wife called me at work and told me Merry Christmas. She also said that she knew I was waiting for Herm to go too, but this is a good start.

She gets it, maybe because I gripe and complain about it often enough, but she gets it.

[Mark M]

I called The Mrs as soon as I read it here and she about blew my eardrums out yelling for joy.

One of the many reasons why she is The Mrs ...

~~:D

[Mars72]

Started crying. My wife wanted to know what the hell was wrong. I tried to explain. She was completely lost. I am out here in Donkey / Raider-ville.

[HemiEd]

Damn, Now i really feel old, I was 22 y/o when he came to power. :eek:

ROFL I was 38, it was a very big year for me. I won the pro points at WIR in 88. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago.

Oh, and after 38 years of watching this team, my wife had no idea who Carl Peterson was, when I told her about his resignation.

[El Jefe]

I was 2 years old when the King came to power. I told my dad, and all he said was "Good maybe know you will stop whining all the time". Not very many Chiefs fans here in Browns and Bengals land.

[Mark M]

I was 2 years old when the King came to power.

[Bwana]

I was sitting in my office when I read Phil's post. I had to read it twice before it set in and yelled:

YEEEEEEEES!!!!

My wife stuck her head in my office and gave me that "WTF is going on in here" look. I told her and she was happy as well. Not as excited as me, but excited none the less.

[seclark]

at the table for supper last night:
sec: "carl peterson resigned today"
mrs. sec: "oh my...is that why they weren't at your office Christmas party last week?"
sec: "huh? no...he was the gm of the chiefs."
mrs. sec: "sorry...did you take out the trash when you got home?"
sec: "no, not yet. he was the gm for 20years."
mrs sec: " really? did you remember you had a trustee meeting at the church tonight?"
sec: "yes i did...it's not til 7pm though. you know this is pretty big news for chiefs fans."
mrs. sec:"that's nice...i hope you chew some gum before your meeting. i can smell beer on your breath."
sec: "yeah...i gotta go."

Damn, Now i really feel old, I was 22 y/o when he came to power. :eek:

I was 4. How does that make you feel???

[EyePod]

Oh, and my girlfriend couldn't care less about CP. I kept showing her things in the Carl Resigns thread, and then I stopped cause she was getting annoyed. She let me go though and didn't complain one bit. I have to appreciate that!

[JOhn]

I was 4. How does that make you feel???

[L.A. Chieffan]

I saw it on ESPN and said "OH SHIT!" and she said "What?" and I said "THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" and she said, "You're sleeping on the couch."

[Ebolapox]

I was 9...beat that.

I was 6. I win until buckin'kaeding comes along.

[MOhillbilly]

i told the family 'christmas came early'. the 4 year old asked me if it was time to open presents. then all night it was ' we gonna open presents now'. the old lady looked at me like i was crazy. nothing new.

[Frazod]

My wife understood, but didn't really care.

I did call my uncle in Lee's Summit as soon as I heard (I needed to talk to somebody who actually gave a shit). That was cool because he hadn't heard yet.
