How sad is the Chiefs franchise

[fair catch fryar]

I've never had any issues with the Chiefs. I've actually tended to root for them over the years as they normally play the Chargers, Raiders and Broncos, all of which have been threats to the Pats for a long time. I really like the matchup in this year's SB too. I'm not rooting for or against anyone in particular and want to see a good game that comes down to the last play. All "feel good" stories for whoever wins as well.

whoop de damned doo.......

Man Dead, 2 Charged After Overnight Shooting Near TD Garden

relevant much?

Interesting to think Kelce is only 5 months younger than Gronk. Guess not having to block helps with the NFL aging process.

We'll see how that works out against the best defensive front they have seen.

For every Dillion or Haynesworth you come up with by example there's an AB or Hernandez the Pats have jettisoned -- the circumstances/transgressions aren't identical for every player. Dillon was a model citizen as a Patriot, Haynesworth likewise but he didn't last a season. Public awareness around criminal conduct by pro athletes is heightened these days, especially involving cases of domestic abuse. (Dillon's was 20 years ago; the Haynesworth stomping incident, which occurred ON THE FIELD, was 14 years ago.) But rest assured Tyreek Hill never will be a Patriot.

They pretty much had to “jettison” Hernandez.

No, because the KC shooting occurred at a "festive" football party.

The KC hate is surprising.

Good team. Good QB. Hill is a turd but we've employed some turds over here as well. No reason the fans over there don't deserve a moment.

My post wasn't expressing "hate," just the fact that KC has won a Super Bowl when 12 other teams haven't.

Most KC fans are dumb and somewhat in the Philly stratosphere of fandom. This board would have an ever bigger meltdown if Jimmy G wins a Super Bowl.

Also, the Pats aren't in it, so I can't say I care a whole lot. I'm unlikely to watch since it'll be on at 2:30am where I'll be.

You're right about KC fans being lamentable, but a lot of folks here prefer the 49ers win and don't mind seeing Garoppolo succeed.

First Superbowl in 50 years, lol

And?

I'm no fan of several players on the Chiefs, most notably Hill.

They've built a team that was inches short of a SB trip last year - and came back and got there this year. Good for them. Good for SF.

Two of the best coaches in football. One gets to hoist the Lombardi.

I hope the fans of both teams enjoy the hell out of the next couple of weeks, because guess what, for ANY fan in any fan base, it could be the last time you get to feel it.

When my Dad was a little kid, the Red Sox were with the franchise in baseball. They were champion right before his 1st, 2nd, and 4th birthdays, with the Boston Braves being crowned champion right before he was born.

Lifelong Red Sox fan...just under two decades after his death, they won again...

Should be a great game, by the way.

I think the Chiefs win.

I'm sure it was relevant to the football game

If only Suggs could be released before the game, it would be better.

Classy of Chiefs to have Bobby Bell present the trophy, and the team winning the AFC at home wearing their classic, good looking, respectful, real helmets and uniforms.

We can only imagine Gino Cappelletti presenting the Hunt trophy after we won in Foxborough in our classic, good looking, respectful, real helmets and uniforms.

I'm grateful to the Chiefs for a couple of reasons.

For years the NFLers crapped on us AFLers and avoided playing us. After winning the SB in 1969 for the second AFL win in a row, that shut the NFLers up for good.

I also admired the way that Lamar Hunt put his own money on the table to help less wealthy owners like Billy Sullivan. Without his help our team and the AFL probably wouldn't have made it.

For more than half a century I've been a supporter of the Chiefs and most of the other AFC teams in the SB. But now I'm at a crossroads. I simply can't root for a team with bad apples like Suggs and Hill, even against a team from the NFC, a league that I've hated for more than two thirds of my life.

What the heck do I do now?

Good story on Lamar on Fox right now.

Rozelle went behind Davis' back and brokered a deal in which the NFL and its owners got off scot-free for all of their sh*t, and that is the foundation for what we have today. Obviously, it infected the Dolphins, Broncos and Chiefs and others, so here we are.

I would have liked to have had a long, long, detailed conversation with Bob Kraft a year before he bought the team. After a quarter century, he's still only beginning to understand.

Bob had all this exalted high reverence for the league, and pretty much was blinded to the NFL's corruption by his personal vindictiveness toward Billy Sullivan.

In leading the charge to hire Goodell and then publicly standing by him through everything over the last 15 years, it is obvious that Kraft is a large part of the NFL’s new form of corruption.

Goodell was instrumental in brokering a deal to keep the team in Foxborough - and Kraft adopted him like a son for it. Now he's stuck.

I remember seeing Al Davis comment about the merger. He said something to the effect that had he been doing the negotiating the AFL would have gotten a much better deal. I believed him.

Oh, one other thing. Did I just see a PEDton fan here talking about class? That's funny.
