Chiefs Game Blacked Out Against the Browns

My girlfriend makes an awesome spinach & artichoke dip.

for the Fanshot or reporting at noon that the NFL denied the team an extension. I suspect I am being persecuted for ending the fantasy football playoof dream of one Mr Chris Thorman

but the rest of KC will be kicking it old school, listening via radio. It is going to be strange not having the Chiefs on TV… oh well I hope this sends a message at least.

Oh noes!

I usually only get to see 2 Chief games per year on TV in Albuquerque, both Donkey games! Now I have the NFL Sunday Ticket and get my 5 years olds decked out in Chiefs red and we have only won 3 games. How do I justify the NFL Sunday Ticket with that performance? My wife is already on me about having the ticket with such an under-performing team. Let’s just say I am in fierce negotiations, lol! Sorry to hear about the blackout in KC, with that being said lets beat those Browns!

I’m kind of glad the streak ended. It’s a joke to say that this Chiefs team has “sold out” all these games. Last week was a “sell out” with only about 40,000 fans in the stadium. Almost every game this entire year has has been missing at least 10,000 fans.

Again, I’m glad the streak is over. The Chiefs don’t deserve to own the bragging rights of a hundred-and-ninety-or-whatever sold out games. Not with the play they’ve given us lately. Us fans have carried them as far as we can. They need to give us something in return.

Good. The streak is over. Hopefully the organization takes note of this and does something about it. Fix this team, and the sell outs will return.

This is a good opportunity for the Chiefs to finally and entirely cut ties with the old era and start a new one. Let’s make 2010 the year that the Chiefs start their climb back towards being one of the elite in the NFL.

I remember when we used to have blackouts all the time in the 80s. You know who talked about the Chiefs? No one. They were out of sight and out of mind.

My dad was hardcore Chiefs fan and he would try to catch them on the radio when they were blacked out at home, but sometimes he’d forget (can we imagine forgetting a Chiefs game now?) and it was like “Oh well”.

If the Chiefs continue to be bad next year and are blacked out more consistently, people will begin to forget about them and find other things to do. It happened before, will happen again.

Why don’t you go to the game?

I’m sorry if that sounded dickish, but there is a vicious circle. Everyone wants people to go to the games so that they are televised, but they rather watch them on TV so they don’t go to the games.

Whew. Barely made the cut.

in other words – undo what peterson did to us in the raising of ticket prices.

That was close!! Im in the southwestern part of KS, approx an hour north west of Dodge City (Garden City to be exact), and I was glad to hear (no offense to those being blacked out) that we weren’t getting blacked out!! Hope yall can find the game!!! :)

So I hope I don’t read anything from you next week.

I guess viewing party at my house?

By blacking it out isnt the nfl really hurting themselves from the money they get for games being on tv. I mean how many people in the veiwing area arent going to watch any football on tv this weekend now because the Chiefs game isnt on, that means lower ratings for tv stations which means less money for the nfl doesnt it. And I dont think the players will get any message by the game not being on tv, I think the message would be more clear to them if the stands are empty when they walk out of tunnel on to the field.

I wish I could afford to buy a ticket and go watch them, but with being let go from my job 2 months ago and unemployment fucking me over I just cant do it this year. Even when they lose its still fun to go but its a hell of alot better when they win.

n special situations, a local station may decide at the last minute to show a different game, in which case we will change the NFL SUNDAY TICKET blackouts when permitted by the NFL.If a local station switches coverage due to a one sided or extra-long game, we will lift the blackouts (when permitted by the NFL) so that you will get the game in the 700’s…..let’s hope that someone besides us gets blown out

Finally the organization is going to see that fans in KC won’t support just any team forever. There are standards and this is a statement by the fans telling the organization they haven’t met them….good thing I live in Chicago too!

…but I’ll be at Arrowhead instead.

its kinda funny to me that most chiefs fans would support carl and herms circus enough to avoid a blackout during there tenure and then not support the guys who have to come in and clean that crap up

I grew up knowing that chiefs fans were the baddest in the land and easily the most feared
by teams visiting arrowhead and thought that we might give the new guys at least a year before we start acting like chargers fans

here, so if any of you want to hop a plane, I’ll be here in front of the Directv. I’m bummed to see the blackout, but sadly not surprised. I had season tickets growing up in KC, and I had them for the year that I was stationed at Fort Leavenworth (last year in the Army, not bunking up with Vick!), but I haven’t been back to a game at Arrowhead since 07. I miss it.
