I guess it could be fun to marry a Raiders fan and sleep on the couch twice a year after rubbing a win in her face. [Reply]

To be honest... I've never fully recovered. Mahomes did a lot to heal me... but even he didn't completely fill the void.
I used to be a football junkie too and this board was a big part of it. After Matt Cassel and Alex Smith back-to-back, I lost a lot of interest in arguing about a team that was obviously going nowhere.
Mahomes has definitely increased my interest in the Chiefs but it has only slightly increased my interest in CP because in my time away, I realized I enjoy Chiefs football a lot more when I’m not talking about it 24x7. [Reply]
People come in and out of your life, you change schools, jobs, where you live but the Chiefs have always been consistent in their ability to fuck me right in the ass. I may die without seeing them win a super bowl but if I’m dead I won’t be able to watch them disappoint me either. [Reply]
It's not really an issue of being a Chiefs fans...it's an issue with the Goodell era NFL.
If every KC game was officiated like the Packers & Vikings game...with minimal interference, I would care a lot more.
When KC started at 4-0...Goodell ushered in mugging the shit out of Kelce, officials pretending it wasn't happening, and calling 11 penalties in back-to-back games. I firmly believe this was done to keep the Raiders relevant and keep parity for the final 8 games. Chiefs could easily be 9-1/8-2 without bizzaro calls like the one in the Texans game.
It sucks...I really want to like the Mahomes era. [Reply]
50 years of frustration. Honestly it was easier when they just flat out stunk so many years. The Reid years are hard for me. I hated Alex Smith because he played scared, always checking down. I thought he was the limiting factor for a team with SB talent. Now they get the greatest QB in the league and they still screw it up. An offsides away from a SB! And now the defense is even worse. They are wasting the greatest window they have ever had and will ever have in my lifetime...……...the Mahomes rookie contract years. I don't have another 50 years to watch them screw up; which is a blessing when I think about it. [Reply]
