Dear Greatest Fans in the NFL:
It troubles me that you would list my good friend Matt Millen and me as "two of the worst GMs in the history of the NFL." Consider this:
1) Matt Millen has been in multiple superbowls. He started in every one of them.
2) Matt Millen's Lions beat your Kansas City Chiefs last year, which shows you his team is picking up momentum, especially since this was before our official rebuilding program began.
3) I am the Longest Tenured General Manager in Professional Sports. You don't just do that without making money for ownership. I make a profit. That is my mandate from the Hunt family. I make a profit, no matter what.
4) Detroit is almost in Canada. How do you expect Matt Millen to get good players when they can go across town and join the CFL? Have you seen the exchange rate lately? Brutal.
5) Ask any well traveled NFL executive. They will tell you, without reservation, that the nachos in Arrowhead are the cheesiest in the NFL, bar none. Now that's something as Chiefs fans we can all be proud of.
6) The Chiefs are $30 million under the salary cap, and I just ordered a new leather massage table for my office. So chew on that, critics. It's good to be the king.
I know the vast majority of our fans in KC will love us unconditionally, win or lose. Or lose. Or lose. Stadium renovations are coming along fine btw, thanks for asking. Great deals on 2009 Chiefs season tickets are available right now, and seats remain for single 2008 games. Why not buy eight or ten for your friends and family?
You are, and remain, the best fans in the NFL. Gotta go now, have to order the granite table tops for the new bar in my new office.
Your Pal,
Carl "Delano" Peterson
