I’ll get up early (as I always do), look over my fantasy lineups and make last minute changes. I try to make sure I see NFL Match Up each week. I find I learn more about the Xs and Os from that show than anywhere else.

I’ll then take a shower (who knows if a cute chick might be at the bar and it’s important to remember that if you smell good, you don’t stink) and make the last minute decision as to which jersey I’ll rock that week. I own two, number 58 and 88. After Thomas died I refused to wear 58 until the Chiefs made the playoffs again. For years I only wore 88. Now, both are in rotation. I try to decide which squad needs my support most each week then wear that jersey. I have no clue this week.

Kick off is 1:00pm for me, which gives me an hour more than you CST guys to consume the beverage. There’s a little bar near me (crawling distance when hammered) that I go to every week. The beauty of it is it’s never too full and I always get a good TV. Better yet, there’s never the pressure to keep ordering. You know that feeling I’m sure, that unspoken push by the staff. I’ll order my beer and finish watching all three pregame shows at once.

Sometimes there’s an opposing team’s fan, sometimes not. I prefer it if there is. It’s always more fun to trash talk. Either way, I enjoy my beer(s), a little bar pie (that’s pizza for the uninformed), and root for my Chiefs.

I honestly have no idea how this season will turn out. No one does. I personally believe we’re not as bad as most think. We’ll see. I do know, however, that we have a classy organization and some of the best fans in the game. Win or lose, it’s easy to root for this team.

I prefer a win, though.

Go Chiefs!
