I was really invested when I was young and cried when the Chiefs lost to the Colts in '95. Didn't give a shit when they got the crap kicked out of them by the Ravens in '10. I got mildly riled up when they lost to the Colts this year but instead of letting it ruin my day I made friendly with the Colts fans at the bar I was watching at and had a good day. I been through the gamut of emotions following this team through the years and have found a place of relative zen when it comes to the Chiefs but Ill be damned to hell before I ever cheer for or am happy for The Broncos.

I don't hate Chiefs players. Probably Dante Hall is the closest I've come to really hating a Chief player. I liked Will Roaf, Tony G and even Trent Green. I appreciate really good players. In fact having Manning again has made me hate really good QB's a lot less than I used to. It's so hard to be one of the best at the QB position that you appreciate the others because you can be objective and be grateful you got to see them play.
Many Chief fans have a lot of bitterness and resentment that has removed most of the the objective joy most people get from watching sports. My Chief fan friends are good people, but they can be pretty jealous and small about other teams' successes. For this reason alone I wouldn't mind if the Chiefs finally fielded a team that won a playoff game or two in the posteason. I would hope it would take the asshole out of most of you. It would also be good for the division and the NFL if the Chiefs were good. Many Bronco fans like seeing your ineptitude, though.
