Here in Idaho you have a lot of Cowboy and Bronco fans and since around 2006 you cant seem to swing a dead cat without hitting a Seahawk fan. There werent any around before then. They are the worst. But most everyone I talk to, including Raider fans, seem to think Mahomes is the real deal. Most everyone wants the Chiefs to beat the Pats. I'm sure if the Chiefs win the SB there will be lots of bandwagoners that will turn in their #12 Seahawk jerseys for #15 Chiefs jerseys.

This week I've been getting a bunch of " I hope you guys beat the crap out of the pats" and " I hate the F'n pats"

It's all quite a new experience for me

What part of LA do you live in? I'm in Studio City and my feelings are:

There are shit tons of Chiefs fans. Three bars in my area are overflowing with red.

There are shit tons of Rams fans.

There are no Chargers fans.

As for people not caring about putting on sports at a party, well you nailed that one. Most transplants here are theater majors, after all.

Here in Chicago, I mostly encounter either knowledgeable Bears fans, who at the beginning of the season couldn't care less about the "aww schucks" Chiefs but by week 4 after realizing this Mahomes guy was in the same draft as Trubisky, became sick to their stomach knowing that they let what could've been their version of Aaron Rodgers slip through their fingers. Then there's the same Bears fans who refer to the Cubs as "Cubbies!" and still don't care about the Chiefs because they just go to Bears games to relive their Big 10 frat, blackout drunk days ala Cub fan over the last 100 years.

Man I've been wanting to start this exact thread but I don't have privileges yet I guess..but I live near Charlotte so before the year started all I heard is "This is our(Panthers) year"...."y'all shouldn't have gotten rid of Alex"....."Who's your QB again?".... "Texas tech QBs suck in the league"...
To mid season- "y'all gonna be one and do e again"
Now its Championship week and its "I hope KC wins but they can't stop the Pats"

I work with tons of transplant football fans, and quite a few Rams fans in LA. Office to my left, Colts fan. Across the hall, one Rams, one Bears, and one Lions fan. Our work team is really split across the whole NFL. Nearly everyone would like the Chiefs to win, and they unanimously love Mahomes. Only ever had one Patriot fan here, but he got fired a couple of years ago for taking upskirt photos of women in the lunch line and under meeting tables. Good riddance, he was also predictably insufferable.

Hi, I know this isn't directed at me. I'm in Northridge fyi...

Nobody gave two shits about the Rams until they came back, so they are building a 'fanbase' I guess. Bandwagoners?

I concur, nobody gives a shit about the Chargers

Lots of Raiders, Steelers and Green Bay Packers fans.

I do run into Chiefs fans from time to time.

In Central PA I'm surrounded by mostly Steelers fans but the number of Eagles fans (or people who say they always were Eagles fans) has gone way up of course. Eagles fans still really do love Andy Reid, at least the ones I know. But Steelers fans think we're cute and harmless since we never threaten them for anything.

My girlfriends family are from New York so they are Bills fans. They are bitter about football in general but are polite about the Chiefs to my face. I know for a fact that they they are jealous though.

The main thing I encounter as a middle school teacher is that kids mostly root for whoever is in style. There were a lot of Patriots fans when Brady was young and they won their first few Super Bowls in the early oughts. Not so many of them anymore. There are a TON of Giants fans amongst the kids because of ODB initially and now because Saquon being that a lot of them are Penn State fans. Also, Henry Hynoski is from a nearby town and he played on that 2011 Giants team. There are a lot of Broncos fans, and an odd number of Seahawks fans mainly because I think they like the colors but they also like Manning and Wilson. I have noticed one kid wearing a Mahomes shersey recently and some comments about Mahomes when they see my Chiefs pennants hanging in my room. The main thing with these kids though is if you lose one game, "aw the Chiefs suck, they lost to the Chargers." Dealing with 13 year olds after your team loses is a pain in the ass.

LMAO

I thought they came here to warn you about the evils of Herm? Doesn't that deserve a "thank you"?
I mean, I'd rather hear that than how "grateful" I'm supposed to be for picking up three Beli**** cast-offs?

Jesus, sounds like the NFL has their work cut out for them in that City.


Anyway, if nothing else, it sure seems like we've got the "addition by subtraction"-vote locked up! LMAO

NO ONE wants the Pats in a Super Bowl. How sweet would it be to become the team that Brady can no longer beat? I think it's possible, especially if the Chiefs have a good draft this year and start getting defensive holes filled. Beating Denver and New England every single time we meet would be just fantastic as far as I'm concerned. I would happily let Oakland have a game now and then in exchange for that, no problem.

I've been to a lot of watch parties for other teams in LA. The Steelers ones are pretty bad. You'd think they would be the worst or the Raiders. But it isn't so.


For some reason there's this huge group of Baltimore Ravens fans here. They SUUUUUUCK. Imagine 150 skinny trashed idiots in head to toe purple Mardi Gras wanna be outfits with capes and beads running around the bar flapping their arms and going
"CAWWWWW!!!' at the top of their lungs.

There's always a fight. There's alway like ten people who get kicked out for being too drunk. Baltimore ****ing sucks.


Also Maryland basketball fans are exactly the same.

That sounds amazing.

Bottom line: Patrick Mahomes is the Tiger Woods of the NFL without the off field personal drama. And right now all of the NFL fanbase love this kid and after he beats Tom Brady and then wins SB LIII then all of America will fall in love with this kid.;)

Because this kid is sooooo much fun to watch and he is mature and humble beyond his years, don't be surprised if the Chiefs have a Cubs like following of the Chiefs coming from the rest of the nation because of Patrick Mahomes.

ROFL Jesus....

I'll take this. True, too. On every count. :D

They didn't come here sincerely to warn us about the evils of Herm. They came here to laugh at us, under the guise of warning us about the evils of Herm. It was the most patronizing, passive-aggressive BS I've ever read on an Internet message board. It was literally the worst time ever here. Possibly the Alex Wars of the last few years were worse, but I was vacationing in Switzerland for a lot of that.

It was really only two. Haley wasn't a cast-off from New England and with the Arizona thing, a lot of us were actually hopeful. Yeah, the Patriot fans were kind of annoying and patronizing but you have to remember, after the 2 years of Herm, a lot of us thought Pioli was the freaking 2nd coming!
