If you would have told me this 15 years ago...
 

15 years ago I was a 17 year old kid that lived and died with the Chiefs. I remember watching the Chiefs and Bills in the AFC Championship game and after the Chiefs lost I thought to myself, "Next year will be the year."

If you would have told me the following things that day, I would have compared you to a Chimpanzee with Down syndrome:

1. The Arizona Cardinals will make a championship game before KC does.
2. You will see two more presidents elected before KC wins another playoff game.
3. The following (bad at the time) teams will win a Superbowl before KC ever even makes one.

• Indianapolis
• Baltimore
• St. Louis
• New England
• Tampa Bay


Adding - New Orleans FFS


4. I would get married, have a child and buy a house before the Chiefs win a playoff game.

Who knows what else is going to happen before we see a playoff win, never mind Superbowl!

It’s things like this that I have reflected on recently and they make me wonder why the hell I waste time and money watching and rooting for this team. For the love of god, I actually went to my first Chiefs game on my Honeymoon in 1999.
(Chiefs beat the Lions)

The sad thing is I blame my father. He turned me into a Chiefs fan. Why couldn’t’ he have been a fan of a big market team? I could be posting on Steelers Planet or Giants Planet about how great the team is, instead here we are all excited about the possibility of a new GM coming in and salvaging this team.

Oh well, I know one thing, I plan on putting my son through the same thing. I just hope and pray that I will see the Kansas City Chiefs play in a Superbowl once in my life.

Go Chiefs.


(Sorry if repost)

i've grown hair on my ass and lost hair on my head since the chiefs won the super bowl.
sec

Damn Gonzo. You just depressed the hell out of me. :(

-The expansion Carolina Panthers reached a Super Bowl before Peterson's Chiefs.

There's always next year.

So did the Seahawks. Man, remember how bad Seattle used to be when they were in the AFC West. It seems like a lifetime ago.

No shit,and the kid thinks he has it bad. :D

This same thing.

What are the Chargers fans going to get to go through for the next 15 years?

They life of a Chiefs fan....

Hard to believe we are one of the worse franchises in the NFL...


Since 1989, all we have ever been is Regular Season Warriors....

Crap, you guys have Norv freaking Turner taking your team on playoff runs/AFC championship games...

True.

In 2006 when we lost in the playoffs, I whined and bitched and complained like there was no tomorrow.

Chiefs fans told me to keep a stiff upper lip and that my skin would get thicker. I didn't believe them.

In 2007 when we lost in the playoffs, I realized that we made it to the AFC Championship game, so while Sad that we lost, It didn't hurt that bad knowing we'd be even stronger the next year.

This year when we lost, I was like, "meh." I'm finally to the point where a playoff loss doesn't really hurt too bad. I know that all of you guys went through this in the 90s. Its kind of sad really, but until we get a real coach, I have very low expectations.


Oh, and P.S. The Chargers waited until all the other Head Coaching jobs were filled in 2006 before firing Marty, and then they got the leftovers....Norv.

You guys better hurry the hell up and hire a GM so you can get a coach.

You aren't focusing that you have time available to watch the chiefs. Even though they suck focus on the fact you arent working, aren't doing something you hate, you are watching football, relax. That is 15 years doing something you like to do, if you don't like it you should find something else.

I don't even know who I want as a coach any more. I am getting tired of staying glued to the Web hoping for the perfect GM.

That's my point exactly....

I think I'm going to off myself.

Great thread, but I'm definitely disheartened behind it.

Still, I bleed Red and Gold...
Love this team. Always will.

Not for my 3 cousins, who were all at the Christmas viewing of the triple o.t. loss to the Dolphins. The game that made me a Chiefs fan when I was 5.

They are all gone now, and no Superbowl yet.

It has definitely been hard to be a Chiefs fan, but fans of few other organizations will be able to feel what we feel if we do ever win it all.

This is probably one of the most depressing threads in the history of CP, at least since I've been here.

I'm not even a Chiefs fan, and I feel for you.

I'm 22 years old and have had the luxury of seeing both the Chargers and Padres play in their Championship games, but never win.

I just wish that would have happened when I was 22, and not 8 and 12, respectively.

I hope thats not their only shot at ever winning it.

I am an avid Lakers fan as well, but nothing compares to my undying love for the Chargers and Padres...

I will start crying like a baby, because my Cousin, whom I got to visit when I was back their, gave me a couple of KC patches as a gift.

He wanted to go to the game with me so bad, but his health wouldn't allow it.

If we do ever win it all we should all fly to KC, and have a championship celebration, share some beer, and bask in the glory.

For now, it is wait and see time. Wait and see whether or not Clark is going to give me a shred of a reason to re up my Sunday Ticket subscription next year.

It really is sad, when you know the team is going to suck, and they don't dissapoint you.

I am the same age as you and i thought they were going to get in as well. Just didnt happen for whatever reason. lol

I know exactly what you mean in the threads above. I actually started playing fantasy football so I would have something else to distract me on Sundays. Watching the Chiefs lose always puts me in a bad mood. The wife says I act like a "big baby" after losses but that's just crazy talk.

You should have had the good sense to be born 30 years earlier. Like I did.

Letting go of all hope is freedom as a Chiefs fan.

My goodness, I couldn't agree more. It is a total bummer that we suck... but, I feel blessed that my life allows me to purchase the Sunday ticket and enjoy football, even if it's the sucky Chiefs.

Well, i am not as miserable of a fan as some people as i have seen my other sports teams win it all. Just in football it hasnt.

I too will always bleed Red and Gold. This is our curse my friend. This is our curse.

Sad thing is, the last time Kansas City won anything was when the Royals won the W.S. against the Cards.

I was 9 and barely remember it.

2009 is a year of cutting back for my family. We're focusing on saving our money. I will not give up the Sunday Ticket. If I don't have access to Chiefs football I would be more depressed than our record. Believe it or not, my wife agrees.

I was going through some really hard times a while back, and remember thinking to myself " I wish I could just cry" I haven't cried in so long(since my friend died in Iraq 2005) that I can't remember how it feels. I was talking to my ex-girlfriend about it. How I wish I could just break down, and get it out, and she said " I'll bet if the Chiefs won the SB you would cry" and said "yeah probably".

Can you imagine what that would be like? I mean, really just sit there and think of how exciting that would be to see the Chiefs win it all?

I would literally give my left nut to see that happen.

I wouldn't give up any body parts, but it would be spectacular.

Heh, I was going through all of my memorabilia, (sp?) and I have an ass load of old Athalon, SI and Lindys from like 1992-2000. Here's a couple of the SI's that I have:

I too have never gotten to see any of my teams win the Championship. Closest thing was watching the Kings lose to the Canadians in 5. But the Chiefs have always, and will always be my number one team. Do you guys know what the beauty is of being a Chiefs fan? We are here through thick and thin and will never claim to be a fan of another team. Unlike some warm weather teams. Just hang in there and realize the time is near.

Nice 1st post. Welcome.

I think we can safely add peace in the middle east, flying cars, and teh colonization of Mars to this list. We might even elect a black president first!

Bumping my own damn thread.

Feel free to chew a bullet.

Don't worry. Next year will be the year.

I'm sure of it. We're THIS [thumb and forefinger a half-inch apart] close.

I remember how bad the Patriots were even with Irving Fryer at WR & thinking man it would suck being a Patriots fan. Go Chiefs!!! 1991sh

Ahh, the good ol' days.

That would be the last receiver Nubs put into the NFL.
Ferrragamo anyone

I am glad I went to bed before the end of the 3rd quarter.

Heh.

pretty sad when there are only a few players I even like on the Cheaps-and three of them are out for the season.

Cheaps are the worst value entertainment wise in the city.

I overdosed on sleeping pills early in the fourth quarter. Best night of sleep I've had in ages.

What's ironic is that KC has a winning record against every team in the division in the regular season(including Seattle), yet they are the only ones that haven't made the Super Bowl in the last 40+ years.

I have a grandson that is only two years younger than I was, the last time the Chiefs were in a SB. They had the talent to be a dynasty then.

It has been a long road.

Shit, brah. :shake:

lamar lathom played on a beast of a lb corp.

I'm just as frustrated as anyone with the Chiefs Championship drought, but there are still 14 teams who've NEVER won a Superbowl. 10 of which, IIRC, who have never even been.

as cliche as it it you're team is only as good as your QB/GM/COACH. ****ing pick them all. 1990 I came in a Chiefs fan. I barely remember the playoff game we won with Montana. I can't imagine going another 20 years with no playoff win. I'd actually make it a goal to own a house, get married, pop some kids out before the Chiefs win a playoff game. Looks like I get to kick my feet up for awhile, but no rush into those things. :D

If you would have told me I would have 4 kids and one of them in high school before we won another playoff game I would have said you were nuts.

Ouch but so true . Yeah I have had my doubt about the Chiefs but who the hell

would I root for.

I'm rooting for a perfect season from the Packers. Of course, that means they are screwed now.

I just know that when we do win it all, then all of this BS we've had to deal with over the years will just make me cherish and enjoy it all that much more.

If we don't win it all at any point while I'm here, then I'm screwed...

my daughter was born the same year the Chiefs last won a playoff game. She now has a job, a car, and graduates from High School in May.

LMAO

Thank yourself that she didn't see the Christmas Day game vs. Miami. My Dad made me soap-wash my mouth, when I recounted a joke from some grade school kids: "Stenerud tried to commit suicide, but he kicked the chair, and missed!"

I wonder how much soap was a orally applied, in 96. Probably, not much.

I'll have to say that Cubs fans are THE fan base I feel sorry for the most. Since we get to look at them outside of their box would you have told them 20 years ago to get out or stick by them? Some have died never seeing a championship. What do we learn from this?

After experiencing seeing "my" baseball team go to 3 world championships in 7 years and win 2 championships I feel more hopeful that someday I will see "my" football team win a Super Bowl.

The time I thought we had the best team in the league we got skunked and embrassed. Both times we won it all I had no hope that we would do anything in the playoffs. Get to the playoffs and good things can happen. GB was the last team in the playoffs last year.You just never know.

the **** you say, you've been to a super bowl in the last 18 years. yeah, you were young in 1995--but **** off, the chargers have won playoff games since you hit puberty. the chiefs haven't since before I had.

I know one thing for sure, if we havent been or won a superbowl before im like 85 (saying im alive) im heading to arrowhead and burning that mother down whos with me?!?!?!?!

once my new shipment of catheters come in I'm there

started following when i was about 12,im 33 now almost 34 still waiting ,lol/shitttttttttttttttttt damn the hunt family.its football not rocket science with formulas for winning and all that bs wake the **** up and open the check book!

And kc still put it on em in the dome.

I got butchered for a similar thread....

Sad thing is, I still love this shitty team.

I see The Chiefs having an awesome season in 2012. They won't have lockout lag and will have all their star players back plus some pickups.

Were you having a seizure when you typed up yours?

It's in some weird dyslexic code.

He's lamenting being a Chiefs fan, you are announcing the end of your Chiefs fandom. Subtle difference, I know, but important.

gotcha. Gonzo is more eliquent. I might wanna end it, but can't. Chiefs = crack

Super Bowl 4 was on my 11th birthday. I became a grandpa this year. Yeah, a few things have happened in between.
