You always want what you haven't had before.
To remember what it was like for the Chiefs to win a division round home playoff game, Conference Championship, or Super Bowl, you have to be old. I'm 53 and have no memory of it. To remember what it was like to win any home playoff game or away divisional playoff game, you have to at least be in your 30s. Up until two years ago, just winning anything in the playoffs was a distant memory.
Coming so ****ing close for so long is maddening. It eats into your soul. And unless you've experienced it, or are experiencing it, you just don't get it. Like all these Colts idiots who show up saying, "Gee, I had no idea you all hated us so much." Yeah, we hate you. We hope the Colts lose by 100 points and then their plane crashes into your ****ing house on the way back to Indianapolis. They don't get it because they've experienced regular success at the next level in recent years. We've been nothing more than a speed bump to them. They hate the Patriots and the Steelers.
If I'm wearing St. Louis stuff at a Cards/Brewers game in Milwaukee and the guy sitting next to me glares at me like I'm the Antichrist, I understand why he feels that way.
