I moved into my own place and got DTV in 2001. Much like Hog, I got DTV for the sole purpose of watching the Chiefs (along with the wife watching the Braves). I've missed a few, particularly during the lean years between Green and Alex, but very few. And I don't think I've missed any since Pat took over.
One that I missed I actually had tickets for - the Raiders/Chiefs game played the day after the great Kansas/Missouri game of 2007. I was already exhausted, physically and emotionally, my voice was gone, and I had a 500 mile drive home to look forward to after the game. The Chiefs were terrible that year, and I had a feeling that if I stuck around they'd lose, **** up an otherwise magical visit, and I'd just have wasted four to five hours I could have spent on the road. So I stopped for gas at a QuickTrip in Lee's Summit, put the tickets on the counter, and told the clerk that anybody who wanted them could have them. As it turned out, the Raiders won, and I made the right call.
