Chiefs If you would have told me this 15 years ago... - Page 3

**Gonzo** · 01:31 PM

15 years ago I was a 17 year old kid that lived and died with the Chiefs. I remember watching the Chiefs and Bills in the AFC Championship game and after the Chiefs lost I thought to myself, "Next year will be the year."

If you would have told me the following things that day, I would have compared you to a Chimpanzee with Down syndrome:

1. The Arizona Cardinals will make a championship game before KC does.
2. You will see two more presidents elected before KC wins another playoff game.
3. The following (bad at the time) teams will win a Superbowl before KC ever even makes one.

• Indianapolis
• Baltimore
• St. Louis
• New England
• Tampa Bay

Adding - New Orleans FFS

4. I would get married, have a child and buy a house before the Chiefs win a playoff game.

Who knows what else is going to happen before we see a playoff win, never mind Superbowl!

It’s things like this that I have reflected on recently and they make me wonder why the hell I waste time and money watching and rooting for this team. For the love of god, I actually went to my first Chiefs game on my Honeymoon in 1999.
(Chiefs beat the Lions)

The sad thing is I blame my father. He turned me into a Chiefs fan. Why couldn’t’ he have been a fan of a big market team? I could be posting on Steelers Planet or Giants Planet about how great the team is, instead here we are all excited about the possibility of a new GM coming in and salvaging this team.

Oh well, I know one thing, I plan on putting my son through the same thing. I just hope and pray that I will see the Kansas City Chiefs play in a Superbowl once in my life.

Go Chiefs.

2009 is a year of cutting back for my family. We're focusing on saving our money. I will not give up the Sunday Ticket. If I don't have access to Chiefs football I would be more depressed than our record. Believe it or not, my wife agrees.

He wanted to go to the game with me so bad, but his health wouldn't allow it.

I was going through some really hard times a while back, and remember thinking to myself " I wish I could just cry" I haven't cried in so long(since my friend died in Iraq 2005) that I can't remember how it feels. I was talking to my ex-girlfriend about it. How I wish I could just break down, and get it out, and she said " I'll bet if the Chiefs won the SB you would cry" and said "yeah probably".

Can you imagine what that would be like? I mean, really just sit there and think of how exciting that would be to see the Chiefs win it all?

I would literally give my left nut to see that happen.

I wouldn't give up any body parts, but it would be spectacular.

Heh, I was going through all of my memorabilia, (sp?) and I have an ass load of old Athalon, SI and Lindys from like 1992-2000. Here's a couple of the SI's that I have:

I too have never gotten to see any of my teams win the Championship. Closest thing was watching the Kings lose to the Canadians in 5. But the Chiefs have always, and will always be my number one team. Do you guys know what the beauty is of being a Chiefs fan? We are here through thick and thin and will never claim to be a fan of another team. Unlike some warm weather teams. Just hang in there and realize the time is near.

I think we can safely add peace in the middle east, flying cars, and teh colonization of Mars to this list. We might even elect a black president first!
