Perception of the Chiefs outside of KC among football fans.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Friend A - Die Hard Packers Fan. HATES the Patriots, is pulling for the Chiefs.

Friend B - Patriots Fan. She has almost conceded the game. Not confident at all.

Brother in Law - Steelers Fan. HATES the Patriots. Rooting for the Chiefs.

My little world.


But I have been seeing more Chiefs support out here in California as well.

This week I've been getting a bunch of " I hope you guys beat the crap out of the pats" and " I hate the F'n pats"

It's all quite a new experience for me

Yep, lots of emails and FB messages to that end. I didn't realize how much hate there was for the Patriots, even from NFC fans.

Man I've been wanting to start this exact thread but I don't have privileges yet I guess..but I live near Charlotte so before the year started all I heard is "This is our(Panthers) year"...."y'all shouldn't have gotten rid of Alex"....."Who's your QB again?".... "Texas tech QBs suck in the league"...
To mid season- "y'all gonna be one and do e again"
Now its Championship week and its "I hope KC wins but they can't stop the Pats"

Bottom line: Patrick Mahomes is the Tiger Woods of the NFL without the off field personal drama. And right now all of the NFL fanbase love this kid and after he beats Tom Brady and then wins SB LIII then all of America will fall in love with this kid.

Because this kid is sooooo much fun to watch and he is mature and humble beyond his years, don't be surprised if the Chiefs have a Cubs like following of the Chiefs coming from the rest of the nation because of Patrick Mahomes.

I'll take this. True, too. On every count.

All the American ex-pats out here are rooting for the Chiefs. My two best friends are from New Zealand and South Africa. They are happy for me but could care less about what they call “wuss” ball. The kiwi will quickly change the subject to talk about the all blacks national rugby club.
