The big epiphany for me regarding this weekend's game.

Then, in an instant, the monkey was gone. The curse was lifted. Last week I was a nervous wreck. Now, I'm fine. The only thing I'm worried about is driving in shitty weather on Saturday.

It's like I've been freed from prison.

Yep. I was a wreck all last week, but am feeling pretty damn good right now!

I was a basketcase. I'd say the ratio between dreading acceptance of impending doom, grim determination that things would finally change, and actual happiness was about 80/19/1. Hell, I left work early on Friday because I was freaking out. And there was a thread about it, too - I certainly wasn't the only one. People must have thought I was an idiot for carrying on like that.

And now, it's just..... gone. How liberating.

Yep. My wife thought I was ****ing nuts, and she knows how passionately I follow the Chiefs...she tried to tell me it was a just a game...that conversation did not go well.

My wife is a die hard Braves fan, and they haven't won shit forever either, so she understands my pain.

And is smart enough to leave me the **** alone when I get like that.

John Smoltz was my favorite baseball player growing up. Guy was a badass mofo on the mound.

Dude's a helluva golfer too.

Its so funny. I had some nerves on the Sunday prior to the game. But I was calm from Monday to Saturday just waiting for the game.

I was clam because we now have one of those QB thingies that we pined for. And I knew this year was different. I felt the Chiefs would win a close game against the Colts.

Now, I know we will destroy the Pats. They are now the team that is simply "in the way" of the Chiefs taking what is theirs.
