The UHL hockey team that played in Kemper Arena in 2004. One freak'n season. They were awesome... oh wait. Nope. They were a last place team too. You're right Cheif. It would be nice to have a team that deserves our affection as well as our loyalty. Just one team that can be consistently competitive. I don't care if it's the Chiefs or the Royals- heck, at this point I don't care if it's the new hockey team out in Independence, the Missouri Mavericks. It'd just be nice to be able to take my boys to a sports venue without the prior knowledge that there's more than a 50/50 shot that we're getting ready to watch the home team get embarrassed.

It's really sad though that after reviewing all of it, most of us can agree that the franchises presented didn't just not play at a competitive level, they barely played at a sub-standard one. You're completely right Chief, we do deserve better. The fans here are loyal, incredibly loyal, and it shows with the approval of taxes to upgrade Kauffman and Arrowhead after lackluster performances over the last couple decades by both teams. But there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. For Kansas City, that's Greinke and Haley. Period. If they can't help, I don't know who can.
