Perception of the Chiefs outside of KC among football fans.

Not to Hijack the thread, but they do have good wings, I live in Greece, so I visit that Distillery often!

My username is after the Rochester Knighthawks (Indoor Pro Lacrosse Team).

One of my co workers here in Southern Indiana is a lifelong, die hard Chiefs fan. He’s going to the game on Sunday.

I’d say 95 percent of the other people I’ve encountered are rooting for the Chiefs. I’ve seen one or two pats hats but very few and far between.

I think almost everyone outside of New England will be Chiefs fans on Sunday.

I’d say the pendulum has swung quite a bit to our side since the Mahomes trade.

It’s all good now.

It's funny, I've been to Syracuse several times over the years (wife's family is from there), including this past Christmas. Even though it's only a couple of hours from Buffalo, I have yet to see anybody wearing Bills gear there. Just Orangeman stuff. Everywhere. And nothing else.

Probably a bunch of hockey and lacrosse fans. It's like football in Oklahoma and Texas to those guys.

Because of location, there's a ton of Pack, Bear, and Viking fans here. This weekend, they're all rooting for the Chiefs. They love Mahomes. My surgeon is a Bears fan, so is one of my co-workers. Both of them THANKED me for Matt Nagy, they like him a lot.

And my boss lives in New York. He told me he roots for "whoever is beating the Patriots that week."

LOL

If there's one thing that is true from what the Patriots trolls said this week it's this: JETS FANS ARE ****ING DUMBASSES. Do not bother.

They deserve the eternal humiliation of the buttfumble.

You know why these Patriot guys (and other opposing fans) are so aggravating still to this day?

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.

Try living amongst them when Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez somehow got to the AFC Championship 2 years in a row.

95% of LA people about this Sunday: "Is there some kind of game this weekend? Oh that sounds fun, but the girlfriend and I are going to brunch, then a street fair."

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.

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.
