On the surface it seems like a dumb question (we're in it for the championships), but when I look back on a year like 2003, it was a fun year... going 9-0, I went to the Bills SNF game and a couple others, and I went to the playoff game against the Colts. By that time I had gotten out of feeling devastated for days after big losses, so while it was disappointing, I don't look back on it like I do '95 and '97.

I voted the second option, but with the right mindset, the first option is better, especially if you're talking about 7-8 years of what we've seen from the Chiefs the past two years, followed by 2-3 years of SB runs (and you didn't say "and win a SB").

If this was about college, I'd say the first option, no question... March Madness is a crapshoot, and the BCS is crap... the NFL is a bit tougher though.

Yeah, the college comparison is really where I'm coming from. I don't expect my college team to win it all every year by any means. (Granted, there are a shit ton more teams that make it more difficult.) Yet, I still enjoy the season if the team can have a reasonably good year. The fun is in watching the individual games; the championship itself is a good goal, but is too short-lived to really dwell on it. IMO, that is.

You just described the Marty years. I'd sure take it. Reerun can go **** his mother.

Yup. It's probably not all that tough to tell that we're kind of talking about the 90's Chiefs vs the theoretical future where we'll be a contender after being really shitty for 5+ years.

It sounds great... it's just that "never" word that bugs me. Of course, I guess I wouldn't know any better anyway.

I cheated and modified the poll phrasing, for what it's worth.

I suppose, in retrospect, a better phrase might have been "never seems to be able to win it all"

Of the non-weasel options I am absolutely for the team that wins Super Bowls sometimes. Being a fan of the constant contender/never winner option (aka the Philadelphia Eagles) would frustrate me to no end.

Philly is a good example but would you really rather have like the rams a SB..then years of suckage or philly knowing every year you have a shot at a ring.

I'm hungry for a title. I've never known what it feels like.
