What I am about to say is awful:


It was a coin flip whether or not I would be a Broncos fan or Chiefs fan. I live in the "Great Divide" of fans, and Denver was going to the Super Bowl (and getting fisted) every year while I was in the age bracket of picking a team.

My Oldest brother is to blame, too. He made sure that I chose eternal pain over happiness.
