Chiefs Why do you watch the Chiefs during a bad year?

I don't usually. Unless it's an interesting game.

Once upon a time in the late seventies, I tuned in to a Chiefs-Oakland game. The Chiefs were, well, the mid-to-late '70's Chiefs. Awful. And these were the Madden/Stabler/Headed to the AFC title game every year against the Steelers type Raiders, you know?

And the Chiefs just beat the ****ing shit outta them, something like 42-10. I remember Oakland being close to their only TD in garbage time at the end, and the crowd (?) at Arrowhead was roaring, just doing anything to keep the bastards out of the end zone.

So, that's why I watch. Stuff like that might happen.
