Needs new ownership.

Don't be a chiefs fan, just enjoy chiefs games. It's more fun that way, since they're all hilarious.

I remember a Halloween game on Monday night where Rivers fumbled a snap that took away a sure victory for the Chargers. I remember Dwayne Rudd tossing his helmet and giving us a field goal win with no time on the clock. I remember beating Oakland when they had us beat by hooking up with Rison in the endzone. I also remember beating them with a dumpoff pass to Larry Johnson who took it nearly 80 yards down to the 1 yard line and we went for the victory and got it. I remember a game where the ref got in the way of an Oakland receiver leading to a James Hasty pick 6. I remember beating Denver because Dante Hall took a punt inside the 5 yard line and juked out their whole team. So yeah, we've taken our share of knocks but we've stolen some of our own before.

I have been a fan of this franchise for over 30 years now. Through good times and bad, the highs and lows. And frankly, there have been too many gut wrenching lows. I believe I actually lost my mind in the few moments following this abortion of a game.

I finally had to ask myself… "Is it really worth it?" I'm on the edge of lunacy for a franchise that seems to delight in causing it. I was about ready to quit this very night as Denver brought that fumble into the end zone, and I said, "No, that's not fair."

But it does deserve an ultimatum. It is Super Bowl or bust for me this year. Nothing less than the Lamar Hunt Trophy at the end of it is going to keep me emotionally beholden to this team and sport like some sort of battered wife syndrome.

I know nobody else will probably really care. What's one anonymous Chief's fan in California? But, its a big deal to me. I held season tickets while lived there. Partied in the parking lots. But its just not worth it to me any longer to be out here, away from any semblance of game day atmosphere, and sit in front of my TV set to watch my team continually lose every meaningful game it plays. There is absolutely no payoff to it or for it.

But, I'm going to give them this season. I'm going to root very hard for them because I do think they have a decent opportunity this year. And if it doesn't end with at least an AFC Championship, I'm going to walk away. I just can't find the upside to it any more.

Yep. Just a game. I laughed to be honest. I mean...for gods sake how incredibly stupid. But when I see grown men lose their shit over NFL games I just feel bad that I used to be like that. Life's too short to be miserable over it. It was a damn entertaining game with a shit ending. And besides, it's only week 2. We have many more possible great wins or possible HIV dumpster fire coat hanger abortions left to watch. :thumb:

It doesn't affect my life at all. After the Colts playoff game, I told myself "never again". And I said that because I knew they'd ****in do it again. They're the dumbest team in the NFL and they have been for decades.

Oh you're one of those message board posters that "adopts a chief" and anyone is supposed to care what you think with your trite "speechless" reply that just proves you don't have the mental capacity to use the language granted to us. I don't even know why I bother with this place. There is a gargantuan amount of dipshits here. What should I expect on the ****in internet though, right? I knew there was a reason I stopped posting here much over the last year. I'm being lumped in as a "true fan" because I don't get upset over losses anymore but I'm not gonna stop watching Chiefs games because "I'M MAD AND TAKING A STAND, HRMPH!", mainly by armchair GMs that are so genius that their answer to "ending the suffering" was to draft Geno ****ing Smith. Good holy ****. Good night and good luck.
