With all the crap going on around me right now I just plain don't give a shit about the Chiefs now. I'll watch but probably with a numb mind. They just aren't worth getting worked up over. I guess 40 years of accomplishing nothing does that.

My brother is a die-hard fan. He bleeds Chiefs. He told me yesterday he doesn't think he can watch another game until Cassel is gone. He listens on radio and does other things now.

We've lost lots of games in plenty of seasons but it hasn't really helped.

So yeah, I guess I'd just as soon win some instead.

I've been rooting for this team for over 40 years. Playing for next season loses its appeal after a while.

luv has kicked some ass AND taken some names lately.

Fair enough.

You are a Royals fan and you aren't ready to tank the season to get Luck? Really? I've seen 4 100-loss seasons within a 5-year span recently and we've only now finally seen a faint glimmer of hope that the Royals just might possibly compete next year or the year after.

I'm patient. I would take a 1-15 season (beating the Raiders in Arrowhead) in a heartbeat if it means possibly getting the best QB of our generation.

I think people often stick their head in the sand and we get this overdramatic wailing how the Chiefs did everything wrong and 31 other teams played flawless football.

Not that I'd put it past the Chiefs at this point, but there was a lot of bad, bad football played this past weekend. There are some real bad teams out there. I think we're in deep trouble without Berry, but we still have Hali and Charles, which a lot of teams don't have. I think we could try to tank and I'm not real confident we'd end up ahead of every single one of these teams like the Seahawks, Colts, and Broncos.

I have been catching a lot of flack from Raider fans in the last 24 hours.

Dear God. If we have a chance at Luck and pass, I might have to have Pioli killed.

Crap I didn't even mention the Vikings. They do have some talent, but McNabb threw for 39 yards the other day. 39 YARDS. That's almost as unbelievable as Cassel's 0.4 yard a pass performance, or whatever it was. Just hideous football. Yeah the Chargers are good but he's also in a division with the Bears, Packers, and Suh. If he doesn't wake up they're going in the tank.

Assuming Luck is still considered the next Elway on draft day and we pass? I'll find a new team to follow.

I'm dead serious, I'd be done with the chiefs. I can handle not sucking bad enough to get the pick and seeing him slip away to Seattle. I won't put up with "eh, we're good, we got Cassel and Stanzi, lets get some first round defense!" when a franchise QB is on the board and KC has a mountain of cap room.

Like I said I'd love to have a QB like Luck. I don't follow college football but I've seen some interviews with him and I just love his attitude and demeanor. Think he'll be a real star.

But me being a baseball fan first should tell you all you need to know about my expectations. The Royals have drafted near first for many of the past several years. One player doesn't mean championship, not even Andrew Luck. We get him... he'll play as a rookie and even Peyton Manning didn't win in his rookie season. Does it mean we might have a great cornerstone for the future? Sure... if everything works out. I'd rather see my teams win than lose in the short term and the long term. Andrew Luck as a Chief gaurantees you absolutely nothing.

I saw that. Makes me dread the upcoming San Diego games.

I'm not gonna jump on the "suck for luck" bandwagon until it's a realistic possibility. You know...if we're 0-7 or something then I'll start thinking about it.
