I took whatever trash they wanted to talk because that's the transaction, but they were all pretty cool once I congratulated them. To the few Chiefs fans I said, get over it. No one feels sorry for us. We've had it good and there is more to come. We've felt the feeling. To the shit head Steelers fans I kindly invited them to shut their mouths (It's hard for them to understand it isn't always about them).
What was most striking though was standing in the hallway next to my friend the Eagles fan. Every kid who walked by had smart ass comments to me about the score and shitty smirks on their faces. No one high fived my friend or congratulated him. I asked one class why they did that. They said it's more fun to tease. It's a sad world. But hey, I've still had that feeling.

I quit living and dying by each play many years ago. I am disappointed. But life moves on
I teach 8th. Kids are stupid. I never gloat. But oh boy. Just 5 minutes ago I kid said something, I said "You dont even know where Philadelphia is" He said in the middle of Pennsylvania......
The Chiefs hate this year has been off the charts. People repeating stupid narratives from the internet. ugh.
I moved on. I have a life to lead. I have a job to do, Even though I am in class now---they are doing a review for a test. This is a great class. Although I am a little short on MTDEW.
I have to go to Philly in a few weeks. I will take pics of the riots from the City of Brotherly Scum.
