I will be rooting for the Broncos

[blsilks]

I certainly understand your point however I guess I feel a certain bias towards the AFC West and get really pissed when people call it the mild mild west simply because it’s insulting to the Chiefs. As much as I hate the Broncos, Raiders and Chargers I think I hate Rapelisberger, Brady, Lewis and Texas even more. I don't really have an opinion on the Bengals.

The ramifications for an outpouring of unbridled respect for Kansas City is nearly mind bottling (heh). I bet all the best free agents will want to come here... all the best coaches will turn down more lucrative offers to coach in KC. Matt Cassel will be infused with so much confidence we'll immediately become the next Joe Montana.

All because the Broncos represented the division with a win. No one will say "how about that Tebow" or "we under estimated the Broncos" or Pittsburgh looked past them" or "Denver's defense is pretty darn good"....... no..... they will say "wow look at that AFC West. The Chiefs must be the next great thing being represented like that."

Go Denver. BRING US OUR RESPECT!

I understand hating the others... but we are the mild, mild west. Our division winner lost their last 3 games and finished 8-8. You are what your record (s) says you are. The Chiefs get insulted because they've earned it. JMO.
