My Chief Concerns: A Super Bitter Bowl Party

Only one team wins the superbowl and the other are so much chopped liver. I was vacationing Vietnam and saw the superbowl win on tape about a month later. I still enjoy it today. The Chiefs could be an upper level team and never sniff the superbowl. So for me, it is about being a dominate team others fear to play. As for the current bunch, I am not sure Pioli, Haley, coaches, current players, and even Hunt are the right people to bring a superbowl appearance, much less win to KC. I will live with it. They just need to get a little better each year and get off the list of bottomfeeders of the NFL. We are there and now we move forward and have some fun along the way.

OK, I feel your pain, really!!! I was born in 1981, and have not yet experienced a Chiefs Super Bowl, and since I have been a die hard fan, I think I rate to say that I feel a bit slighted!!! That being said, every year I go in with my heart on my shoulder and always expect a Championship ring. Call me dumb, stupid, or whatever, (Jarhead will get your ass kicked), I really think we are very capible of achieving this in the next five years. We have a very young team, and plenty of room to bring in some big time free agents, but only hope we do when we are truely ready to strike, I see us winning the AFC west again next year, and hopefully a playoff game, but we need two more years to bring our rookies up, make a few good trades, and figure out how and who is going to coach. We have some EPIC players on this team, and we have the most die hard fans in the NFL, when you can smell Arrowhead 15 miles away on game day you will understand. Hang in there Randy, I really expect to see a ring in 5 year or less.

I don't think we will make it to a Superbowl in this decade

All the annoying things you listed have happened me. The people who are Steeler fans just because are the worst. Or the guy who knows his primary team isn't making the playoffs and goes to his "backup" team which somehow always has the best record in the conference. One of my colleagues is a "huge" Dallas Cowboys fan because he has a Cowboys coffee mug. But once he realizes his season's over, he becomes the biggest Falcons fan you've ever met. I'm just glad we have a great history and a promising future, or I'd feel a lot worse. I'm sure your dad has been saying, "Oh well, there's always next year!" for as long as you can remember.

Don't be too harsh on the fair weather or neophyte fans. Super Bowls and Conference Championship Games bring many fans into the fold. Yes I agree it is frustrating and sometimes down right irritating. I just turned 60 and your article sparked some insight into my journey as a life long Chief's fan. I am a KC native and and spent my youth following the the old KC A's, of course until Finley moved the team to Oakland. The only football we ever followed was the local border war between KU and MU. Every once and awhile a local station would air a Cardinal game. Then the Chief's or Texans as they were called then came to town. Before that Super Bowl win I would say interest in the NFL and the Chief's in general was mild to tepid. I remember coming home to KC on leave from the Army and everyone was talking about the Chief's going to the Super Bowl and maybe winning this time. Well as most of the KC locals know there is not much going in KC in January so as my time home on leave was short I was looking to maximize my fun. I went to a Super Bowl party and watched the Chief's win. It was an amazing experience, many of us were only casual observers to that point. We understood the basic concepts of the game, but hey I couldn't tell you half the names on that team back then. But that victory sparked a life long interest and an undying affinity for the game. I have learned a lot since then. Hopefully this year some young or old fan will be sparked by their team being in "The game" this year and start their own journey into becoming a true and informed fan or " Addict" .

I dont get this train of thought bud. We have been to two Superbowls, one with one of the best NFL teams ever to take the field. As I mentioned in my post last week plenty of teams have never even been. Even worse, teams like the Vikings and the Bills have been multiple times, with multiple failures, and suck right now! We are on the way babeeeee.
