Do you care about the game tomorrow?

But I still read ChiefsPlanet every day and keep up with everything as much as I always have. Still give my opinion on the draft and other such things.

Above all, football from day one has been entertainment for me. The Chiefs at this point are the exact opposite of entertainment.

Funnily enough, though, I've also found very little pleasure in watching other games this year. Football (NFL) in general is a little boring right now. I think only the Chiefs can bring me back in.

2003 was definitely a breaking point for me, especially since the Jayhawks had been a lock to beat Syracuse that year... since then it's been all about entertainment for me, which is why I don't pay as much attention to everything else. People get so wrapped up in speculation (and I got too wrapped up in it), it's ridiculous. Mock drafts and speculation doesn't interest me.... preseason over-analysis, gameday story lines that read like TMZ, post game over-analysis of single games.... I guess it all just got old after so many years.

I certainly hope Arrowhead's atmosphere one day returns to what it once was, but the 'true-fandom' is gone. I'm just not the glutton for punishment that I used to be.



And I agree, there seems to be fewer and fewer interesting games in the NFL each year... Saturdays is where it's at right now. Well, except for the B12 North.
