Perception of the Chiefs outside of KC among football fans.

They have no perception of anything sports related except USC or the Lakers when they're good.

I've been in a traffic jam during the first Q of the Super Bowl - trying to get to our party. My friend and I wanted to get out and yell at everybody and ask where the hell they were going.

I was at a party Sat night, I had to ask nicely to put the Cowboys/Rams game on w/o sound. If I didn't know the host pretty well I wouldn't have even tried. Luckily there was another football fan there.

This is totally standard at any party for any game except the Super Bowl, including game 7 of the World Series. I had to put on game 7 of the AZ/NYY world series at my friend's party, and the ending was so exciting a few people actually got into the game.

The other 5% are fans of other teams. There are no Rams fans.

What part of LA do you live in? I'm in Studio City and my feelings are:

There are shit tons of Chiefs fans. Three bars in my area are overflowing with red.

There are shit tons of Rams fans.

There are no Chargers fans.

As for people not caring about putting on sports at a party, well you nailed that one. Most transplants here are theater majors, after all.

Hi, I know this isn't directed at me. I'm in Northridge fyi...

Nobody gave two shits about the Rams until they came back, so they are building a 'fanbase' I guess. Bandwagoners?

I concur, nobody gives a shit about the Chargers

Lots of Raiders, Steelers and Green Bay Packers fans.

I do run into Chiefs fans from time to time.

Because the "ganggreen" infection this board contracted after Herm was hired was so bad, it won't ever be forgotten.

This week is NOTHING compared to those idiots.

I thought they came here to warn you about the evils of Herm? Doesn't that deserve a "thank you"?
I mean, I'd rather hear that than how "grateful" I'm supposed to be for picking up three Beli**** cast-offs?

Jesus, sounds like the NFL has their work cut out for them in that City.


Anyway, if nothing else, it sure seems like we've got the "addition by subtraction"-vote locked up!

NO ONE wants the Pats in a Super Bowl. How sweet would it be to become the team that Brady can no longer beat? I think it's possible, especially if the Chiefs have a good draft this year and start getting defensive holes filled. Beating Denver and New England every single time we meet would be just fantastic as far as I'm concerned. I would happily let Oakland have a game now and then in exchange for that, no problem.

They didn't come here sincerely to warn us about the evils of Herm. They came here to laugh at us, under the guise of warning us about the evils of Herm. It was the most patronizing, passive-aggressive BS I've ever read on an Internet message board. It was literally the worst time ever here. Possibly the Alex Wars of the last few years were worse, but I was vacationing in Switzerland for a lot of that.

It was really only two. Haley wasn't a cast-off from New England and with the Arizona thing, a lot of us were actually hopeful. Yeah, the Patriot fans were kind of annoying and patronizing but you have to remember, after the 2 years of Herm, a lot of us thought Pioli was the freaking 2nd coming!

The Alex wars made the Peeholi wars look like 2 days of shitty trolling from Baltimore fans before beating their asses.

You're forgetting Broke-Dick Vrabel.

Redondo Beach - but I did live in Valley Village for a while. I told people I lived in N. Hollywood because Valley Village sounds so lame. My roommate told people she lived in Studio City, because she wanted to sound posh.

I was actually at the game last week at Jalapeno Pete's - that was a blast. Although my dumbass buddy thought 1.5 hours early would be good enough to get a seat. Then he proceeded to drink $300 worth of high-end tequila shots between he and his gf and was a walking zombie by halftime. I spent the whole 4th Q worrying he was going to puke on himself, or me. Dude is coming over to my place this weekend. ****ing hell.

I saw plenty of people dressed in Rams gear at the game vs. the Chiefs, but I know one Rams fan in real life here that I can think of who actually gives a shit.

The rest are the kind who will watch the game and kind of identify as a Rams fan since they have no other fandom, or they have some kind of dual-fandom with their hometown team. If the Rams win next week they'll be excited about watching them at a Superbowl party. If the Rams lose they'll get over it in about 5 minutes.

I've tried to become a fan of teams out here. Can't do it. Nothing sticks but the Chiefs and Royals, which I couldn't shake if my life depended on it.

Valley Village - Studio City adjacent.

Van Nuys - Sherman Oaks adjacent.

I love that shit, I really do.

My buddies had a house in Palms I think that they dubbed CCA - Culver City Adjacent.

But really - try meeting some chick at a party - "Where do you live?" - "Valley Village". Yeah that'll get the panties flying off. I live in North Hollywood baby. It's gritty, and kinda dangerous, like me.

My girlfriend from Chicago and I were looking for a house four years ago. I said I couldn't live in Valley Village. She goes why? I said it's the name. She said but you love skiing. Valley? Village? They're total ski names.

I'm like...I can't argue with you. But all I picture is a 60s era Valley View Bank in Prairie Village.

Not. Sexy.

Studio City now...that's a name.

Yeah I feel like Angela Lansbury would live in Valley Village.

I live in North Hollywood and agree. Love that the biggest Chiefs bar in LA is a 5 minute drive. That said, I still stay home as much as possible because I'm lame and cheap.

It was fun last Saturday. I'm glad I experienced it but not enough to go back and sit there for 4-5 hours before the game starts just to get a seat.
