New Blog: Sounder At Heart for Seattle Sounders Fans!

Introductions...

Since there are an array of new people coming into our fold here at Arrowhead Pride, I wanted to take this time to formally introduce... well... US... This is an Official Arrowhead Pride Roll Call Introduction... Let's rec this up that way newbies can read this and get a feel of who's who here at Arrowhead Pride and for those of us who need to be reminded of our fellow AP pioneers. So, I wanna hear from all of you AP Vets (that means you Lanier, UC, DThomasReigns, primetime, etc etc) and the newly drafted AP Rookies...

 

Hello, the names ROC 27. As you can tell I am one of few Larry Johnson supporters. I'm from Los Angeles, California (tough place for a Chiefs fan to live... Chargers and Raiders fans everywhere, but I fight on). I enherited my Chiefs fandom from my Dad... the only good thing he ever left for me.I have an english bulldog named Dexter and a fiancee (soon to be wife in 3 months) and they are both Chiefs fans. As I've said before, I'm one of the more debate-ful "AP'ers" around these parts. But I have confindence that I am loved by our fellow contributors. If you ever wanna meet me, you can find me every season at Qualcom stadium once a year... I'll be the guy in thick black framed glasses, an LJ jersey, and the only one standing and clapping AT the Charger fans that I'm surrounded by when we score. Other than that.... Welcome to Arrowhead Pride.

Woodman212

(That is Woodman-Two-One-Two….not Woodman-Two-Twelve)

I am from Carthage, MO….22yrs Old….Criminal Justice Major at MSSU. I have been a Chiefs fan since I saw Marcus Allen score a diving TD in the snow against the Broncos and reenacted it for my whole family. I am part of the Third Watch of AP as me and people like NaNz and Husker and ROC are usually the only ones up late into the night. Sometimes I surprise everyone and wake up early in the mornin too…I typically attend two Chiefs games a year and will likely be at the Home Opener. Love bein a part of AP…

Woody!

I’m turnin’ 23 this year! We’re like young Veteran Chiefs Fans! … I 1st realized my love for the Chiefs when we drafted THE Derrick Thomas… I became obsessed when Neil Smith and DT ran wild on the NFL as a team and bff’s.

I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin.

I got an idea ROC

Maybe instead of just Veteran or Rookies you could put like: Less than One Month, 6 Months, 1 Yr, 2 Yrs and Since Conception lol….

Seems it would offer more insight on the populace!

Where do you work?

And are they looking for new people? ;)

I’m starting to hate my current job, there’s no communication between upper and middle management, which leaves many employees (like myself) getting chewed out for not knowing where to be, etc. It’s just getting old, and probably why I’ve been prickish the last month or so.

My crystal ball says that the Chiefs will not be drafting Aaron Curry. Their record at the end of 2009 will be 10-6. After witnessing the 2009 draft, their record will be 8-8.

Considering

I travel for a living and don’t have any idea where I’m going more than a week in advance (for 30 days at a time) due to the communication problems. There’s probably 25 people in my group, we have 1 section leader, and under him there are 4 other “team” leaders. How I can go so long without anyone being able to tell me where I’m going to be sent before my plane ticket is bought is ridiculous. I think it’s just my team leader, as opposed to our section leader, but who knows.

It’s getting ridiculous, and I’ll continue my neverending search for greener pastures :)

Yeah, I hear you.

I’ve learned to avoid workplaces that employ job titles like “team leader.” That and places that overuse acronyms.—“How is everyone coming along in their E.M.P.O.W.E.R. projects?” ….“eat me.”

We actually have teams

or, we’re at least “supposed” to. I find myself filling in on the other teams more often than being on my own team though. In fact, because of a hiring freeze last year, I have not done anything with my team at all, since starting there, come to think of it.

Jeez. I’m mostly just glad to be gainfully employed right now.

I live in LA as well. Raiders fans disgust me, but Charger fans are a joke.

I am from KC originally. I gotta tell you bud, I hate Larry Johnson. When Piolt says, “We’re looking for big, strong, tough, smart, disciplined football players” Larry Johnson isn’t what he has in mind. Note the words “smart” and “disciplined.” LJ can’t stay out of trouble in Kansas City, a town with essentially no night life at all whatsoever. The biggest celebrity in KC is probably Larry Moore or maybe Jamie Farr if he’s doing a show at the New Theater.

What part of LA are you in? I discovered a great little BBQ place called The Kansas City Barbecue Company in North Hollywood. The owners are from KC and it’s about the only place in LA to get burnt ends. Like Jeremy Piven, I love sushi, but sometimes I need the burnt ends.

Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

I would love to see them get the NFL Sunday ticket and show games there.

Or the MLB package to show Royals games. It’s in North Hollywood on Magnolia between Lankershim and Cahuenga.

Used To Be..

there was a hot spot in downtown San Diego. It was the joint where they filmed a bit of the movie Top Gun, think it was called KC BBQ. It was good BBQ and they had Royals/Chiefs gear plastered all over the walls. I used to go there all the time just to enjoy the scenery and think back to my days of youth, that is, until it burned down. I was born and raised in a podunk town just East of Kansas City. It is called Buckner and I lived there for 24 years before joining the Navy. That brought me to SD where I’ve been since 1999. Yes, it’s hard living amongst these idiot Gay-der and Dolts fans, but I proudly sport my gear year round. I’ve had NFL Sunday Ticket for 5 years and love watching the games from the comfort of my own home. I travel back to KC at least once a year and you can bet your ass it’s during the season when the Chiefs play at home…

I_Bleed_Red.

I’ve been going to this site for about a year now. I grew up in KC and have been a fan my whole life. I’m currently going to school in Dallas and have to deal with dumb Cowboys fans. I think I hate the Cowboys more than any team outside our division because it pisses me off how much they are overrated and have been deemed “America’s Team” by the press. By the way my former name on here was chiefsfan1384, I changed it because because it was obviously too generic. I love this site, none better on the web.

Attention Chiefs fans trapped in Dallas!! (aka - "the Cowgirl Sinkhole")

Hi, I’m “Chef Jim” on this site, a rare poster, but read religiously. We have a group that meets in Dallas to watch the games, and you can visit their website at :

www.chiefsfansofdalls.com

Check it out for directions and pics from this fun group. We meet for games and even tailgate in the parking lot beforehand! Not quite Arrowhead, but not half bad either.

please just refer to me as Nanz or 808 if you’re ever calling me out or replying or whatever.
I don’t know why but it bothers me when people type out my whole screen name.

That being said. I’m the only Chief fan I know on my little island in Hawaii. We have TONS of Raider fans and I felt like being objective and decided to join Chief nation when I was 8 playing for the “Red Raiders” in pop warner. I’m 18 but I like to believe I know a thing or two about the offensive side of the ball considering I was a QB in high school and may continue to pursue that position in college.

I think I come off as offensive sometimes, please know that my comments are of the best intentions I just love to debate, especially when it comes to the draft or offense. Currently 18 and will be a Chiefs fan for the rest of my life. I look forward to some good convo.

P.S thanks for the shout out Woody =)

Im 18 as well but I live all the way up in Manitoba, Canada. Nfl is pretty damn popular here and there are numerous Chiefs fans. Ive been a fan since Ive started watching a half dozen years ago. Ive played for provincial teams and think that i could make a damn good offensive coordinator.

I check this site a least three times a day so id like to thank all the guys who post stuff up here day in and day out.

Look forward to seeing the Chiefs hoist the cup at some point in my lifetime, sooner rather than later. Btw no igloos where I live.

I’m Leaf. while not very Chiefs related, there is a reason I use that name but it’s a whole new story so I’ll save that for another time. I’m 27 years old, married, and have 2 boys. I’m originally form Joplin, Mo but currently live in Okinawa Japan and will be moving to Oklahoma City within the next 2 months. I’ve been a Chiefs fan my whole life, which is surprising as my entire family is Green Bay fans and I started watching football before I was influenced at school. I guess I was just born loving the Chiefs. While I’ve been reading posts here for some time, I’ve just recently started posting. I guess you guys intimidated me so I had to grow some man cahones first :p

I’m 34, born and raised in KC. I’ve been a fan siince the early 80s when they weren’t exactly great, but Stephon Paige was awesome! I’ve moved to the DFW area a couple years ago, and still follow the Chiefs with the NFL Ticket. I found this site this spring while trying to follow the news with the new regime and changes. Dallas news doesn’t really keep me up to speed with the Chiefs, so I love this site. I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a season since Montana came.

BTW, I hate the Cowboys and after all the crap I got all year…nothing was sweeter than the beat down the Eagles handed the boys….

TXCHIEFAN

Hi all. I’m 48 and live in El Paso. I was born and raised in central KS and have been a Chiefs fan since around ’69. I still have my Buck Buchannon and Willie Lanier cards that are quite worn, but mean the world to me. My 13 yr old son and I absolutely love the Chiefs, but we have never been to a game. I found and started posting on AP last year while in Iraq. I am retired military now working for the Army as a civilian. I really enjoy this site and all the posters. AP is the first thing I read every morning and the last site I read before bed, with a few sneak peaks during the day. Thanks all for your insites and entertaining comments. Hopefully the Chiefs will play in AZ in the near future and my son and I will get to see our first game.

Hi everyone. I’m 28 and currently living in Charlotte, NC. I was born in Junction City, KS and have been a Chiefs fan all my life. I just graduated from medical school last spring and I am now a family dentist practicing just outside of Charlotte. I’ve been visiting this site for about 4 months now and you guys have definitely made me laugh out loud in front of my hot assistants a time or two. I am planning a trip to Arrowhead this season so maybe I will meet some of you in person one day. Go Chiefs!

Sad, sad, sad!!!

name implies overall feeling since the loss to the Bengals in ‘03 and prevailing feeling of the early 80’s..
I am originally from Grandview (E 113th and Jackson), then moved to P. Village (off of Tomahahk) and then to Charleston, SC (for Work, but I love the 60 degree winters). I grew up watching the Chiefs with my father on a 13 inch B/W TV in the basement, and the occasional trip to arrowhead to watch D. Cherry and A. Lewis play. Now I’m relegated to status of Visitor when the Chiefs Come to Carolina, Atlanta, or Jax.
Hoping to make it up in Nov for the Pitt game.

I’ve been a Chiefs fan since my stepdad took me to a game in 1990. From the moment I step foot on the parking lot at Arrowhead i was hooked! And i hadn’t even made it into the stadium yet!…lol. Arrowhead is my church, I try and make it to at least 3 games a season…and I’ll definately be up there for Red Friday and our Home Opener against the Gayders!!!!!

I have been visiting the site for about six months. I live in Springfield Mo. Leggett & Platt are one of my large customers. I am in Business equipment sales here in Springfield and I love me some Chiefs football.
I love the site. (even though I disagree with you guys about a lot of stuff) But that’s what makes it fun. It’s great to have some people to talk Chiefs with during the offseason. Nobody i work with is a football fan so It is nice to chat with people who are passionate about the Chiefs.
Can’t wait for the season to start. i don’t expect too much this year but, I am hopeful. I am stoked to see Cassell sportin the red and gold. Let’s hope he is as good we are expecting.
GO CHIEFS!

What’s up guys!! I’m from Raliegh, NC. Huge Chiefs fan, I’ve grown up watching the Chiefs! My dad and my older brother are huge fans and needless to say growing up around them has made me a HUGE fan! I found out about AP a few weeks ago and I have enjoyed reading all the posts and up to the minute reports. I knew I had to join! The last game I went to was this past year when the Chiefs played the Panthers. Everyone should remember the beating we took there. I remember having so much junk talked to me but my reply would always make me feel a little better. I would simply tell them that no matter what happens this year, if you do make it to the playoffs, Jake will choke and make your whole season a waste. A few months later I was watching that playoff game with a big smile on my face. : )

WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING MEAN GENE!

Sorry, Hulk Hogan started every sentence that way for about 15 years so I thought I’d give it a try. Go ahead try it. You can’t do it without laughing.

Anyway, I’m from Cleveland originally and now reside in Brooklyn, NY. I’m an actor and a writer and a phone answerer. I am a fan of all things Cleveland and Ohio except when it comes to NFL Football, I bleed red and gold. (and just a little bit or orange due to my roots)

I came on board at AP shortly after the season ended and I realized watching the Chiefs lose wasn’t nearly as painful as watching them not play at all. I began my AP career with a rousing post in defense of Herm Edwards and was appropriately slapped around by Don Pioli who kept asking me to call him UC. I have since seen the light and have been converted.

I am 25 and I meet with a group of local Chiefs fans in NYC’s Village Pour House to watch the games every Sunday. If you live in the area, let me know!

I’m 29, currently live in NW Alabama, but am from Upper-Michigan. Been a Chiefs fan for 17 years. Where I lived in Michigan, everyone was a Packer fan(including all my friends and family), but since Favre had trouble with the Chiefs, I always came out on top, until 2 years ago. I have a wife and a daughter(who I am grooming through playing Madden to be a Chiefs fan). If you ask her(currently 4y.o.) what team she likes, right now she says, “The Red One!” So, I’m close. I am a avid reader, and reluctant poster, but I enjoy this site.

KCSatchmo

38 years old. I run a 6.5 40. Unrestricted Free Agent hoping for a call from Pioli.

I’ve been a Chiefs fan since I was old enough to know what a football was. I come by it naturally. My mother is a long time Red Coater and is well known at the stadium. She was the 1st recipient of the Visa Chiefs Fans Hall of Fame award. (Visa selects a fan from each NFL city, every year, to be enshrined in the VIsa Hall of Fans…a wing of the Hall of Fame in Canton) She has also won a lifetime achievement award from the Chiefs for her charity work as a Red Coater.

I was practically raised at the stadium. I rode Warpaint, sat on Hank Stram’s lap and pretended I was Art Still (favorite player) by sitting in front of his locker. I’ve had the opportunity to ride the Chiefs plane to an away game, watch games in Lamar Hunt’s suite and stand on the sidelines. I have been very blessed in my fandom.

I am a recent member of AP and love the site primarily for the passion of you fans. (Even when you’re wrong) I have strong opinions that may piss you off from time to time. But, I have nothing respect for those dedicated enough to follow the team we both love and brave enough to state their opinions.

I explained what was going on and he said come with me,so we followed ……….he was taking us to where L.Dawson calls the game’s to get some pic’s! On the way up we came to a corner and i ran right into T.G, almost knocked me down! So not being able to think right i said i was ok, shook his hand and forgot all about trying to get his signature for my son!! We saw T.Green too, so all in all we had a good time!

34 years old from St.Thomas Ontario Canada. I have 2 sons one is 13 & one is 1, the 13 year old is a Pats fan ( I don’t know how that happened ) I won’t let the same mistake happen again the 1 year old has sleepers, T – shirts & a jersey of the Chiefs. As you can tell my fav. number is 23 & has been ever since Barry Word rocked a jersey. It was also my High school # when we won the city championships way back in 1990. The last game I saw live was in Detriot in 1996 Thanksgiving Day we won, and Marcus Allen set a record. After that game when everyone was leaving Marcus came over to the sideline where I was to do an interview, I yelled & held out my jersey to be signed maker in the other hand. He heard me but the interview was starting so I waited, when it was over I called out to him again. ( by the way I was the only Chiefs fan around & he was within spitting distance) This time he turned around looked at me and ran into the tunnel. Ever since that day I have hated Marcus Allen & I always will. This is the best site ever & the people here are great!

Jim here, 64, a fan since the beginning.........

I have four kids and five grandkids, all Chief’s fans. In fact, many times we all get together to watch the games, wear our Chief jerseys, snacks and have fun. I probably haven’t missed viewing 10 games since they originally came to KC and I’ve seen a just a few games in person. I live in a suburb of Wichita and was in the USMC Reserves back in their earlier years and bet a buddy $10 buck in 1969 that they would win the Super Bowl. He was tired of me talking about the Chief’s all the time, so we made the bet and I collected. It’s been a fun ride and I’m really excited about all of the new enthusiasm. It’s about time. Thank you Clark Hunt for getting it started. (BTW, I have some neat Chief items: blankets, hats, etc. – including some autographed DT cards. And, I do not like the Cowboys as many have mentioned above. If any team deserves to be America’s team, it would be the Chief’s. They represent such a huge geographical area: Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, etc.)

My first game I’d ever been to in person and really my intro to the Chiefs was a 1994 Chiefs/Dolphins game and have been a diehard fan ever since.
Living in Fl, I’ve had to deal w/ countless years of flip/flopping fans from the Dolphins, Jags and now the Bucs. I’ve been to a few of Chiefs games but never one @ Arrowhead. This year I’ll be @ the Ravens/Chiefs game opening weekend and was @ the Monday Nighter a couple of years back as well and also I’ll be @ the Jax/KC this year.

Afternoon, from work

Texas Chief here (not TexasChief – that’s a different guy)
34 year old guy trapped in Garden Ridge, Texas. Born in Nebraska and raised just about anywhere in Kansas that someone from Texas can name. Miss my days as a season ticket holder driving all across the state every other Sunday to go to all the home games. 40 yardline seats in the middle of the lower tier. My tickets have been handed down to a relative still living in KC.

Been a Chiefs fan since I was old enough to know what “Red” looked like, and I won’t ever change teams. I’m a Chief for life. My ultimate dream growing up was to play MLB for the Chiefs. I played ball from the pee-wees through college, and played semi-pro football for 1.5 seasons before trashing my knee. The dream is dead, but the fandom will never die. I’m a defensive fan far and away above offense. I’d rather watch a game that ends in a score of 6 to 3 with 14 sacks, 11 interceptions, and 30 tackles for a loss combined than see a 54-45 race to the endzone blowout. The only time I don’t change the channel on an offensive blowout is when the Chiefs are in the game. Defense! Defense! Defense! Some folks around here have been kind enough to occationally take my word on some of the defensive finer points or the X’s and O’s of the D side of the ball.

I own a 3 location quick service franchise restuarnt business down here in Texas and spend my days driving from location to location and firing anyone that pisses me off that day. I pop onto AP at least 2 or 3 times a day when I get the chance, but do the bulk of my commenting and posting at night when i get home and into the wee hours. I tend to go offt topic occationally, and smart ass comments probably end up in my replies more than they should. Rest assured, they are ment to be funny or to make a point.

I was around AP (just reading not posting) for about 5 or 6 months on and off and 2 months of every day reading before I ever posted anything. I’m a relative “new guy” around here in terms of posting (I believe my first post was in December or January) but I have been made to feel very welcome by the AP community. Chris, Prime, and DJ run a top notch blog here at AP. Every blog would be so lucky to have guys like them righting the ship and doing the massive amount of research they do.

Welcome newcommers to AP. Your 1 stop shop for all things Chiefs.

KaloPhoenix

25 years old, 6’6", 210 pounds, 36" vertical…5 reps on the 225 bench (if I’m lucky) and a DNF on the 40 yard dash (distracted by beer).

Been a fan since I was old enough to say “Nigerian Nightmare”. My first game was in the 1990 season. I still remember to this day the sheer awesomeness of Okoye. After graduating college, I moved to KC and worked for a year and a half, with my first season tickets being in the 2007 season (unfortunately). I now live in Derby, KS, so my ability to be at the games/tailgates has been lessened, but I’m still there in spirit.

I stumbled across the site near the beginning of the year, so I’m definitely a rookie. I know a little about defenses, so I try to offer them now and again (sometimes at annoyingly great lengths), but hope to contribute to this excellent community as much as I can.

My crystal ball says that the Chiefs will not be drafting Aaron Curry. Their record at the end of 2009 will be 10-6. After witnessing the 2009 draft, their record will be 8-8.

Well…I was going to talk about my pro day numbers….but since everyone else has better numbers…I am just hoping my game tape speaks for myself…. In case you can’t tell who I am from the game tape…I’m the big guy getting tackled by the pee wee football team. I really improved over the summer and hoping to get a call for a try out. Granted I only averaged…2.7 yards per year ….but I think I can be an effective back up to the back up of the back up for the back who is backing up our running back.

Oh..yeah…I grew up in Leavenworth, Kansas…I am 28. I became a Chiefs fan at the tender age of 8. Derrick Thomas was my favorite player…I now live in Central Kansas and I am an instructor in the military…Oh yeah…I pretend to be a cowboy on the nights and weekends…but I am a full time Chiefs FAN!!!

Met my wife in college (CU Boulder), so she and her whole family are Bronco fans. Luckily, my boy is Chief faithful so I’m not alone in the house.
AP is a great site! My number one source of info on the Chiefs. I very much appreciate what you guys do and how faithfully you do it. Thank you very much!

38 yrs old, originally from NYC (grew up surrounded by Giants & Jets fans) Currently reside in North Bay, Ontario ( ugh! now surrounded by Idiot Hockey fans) I’ve been a Chiefs fan since about 1977, when i could grasp the game, Ironically enough, the Chiefs havent won the Superbowl since the year I was born….converted my mother to Chiefs fandom when her sweetheart, Joe Montana, signed with the team at the end of his career….. Favorite All-Time Chiefs: DT, Tony Gonzalez, Priest Holmes, Willie Roaf, and Tony Richardson…… in that order.

for the record, I predict we go 9-7 this year, and while that may not win the AFC west, I believe we’ll just make the wildcard round. Matt Cassel will throw for 3900 yds, 29 TD/14 INT, however he’ll be in the top 3 in the AFC when it comes to times sacked….I wish we had gone Offensive line earlier in the draft….

Sandpro, a Noob

I was born and raised in the KC area, I am now in the Air Force and have been stationed in St. Louis, Germany, Seattle, Iraq (twice) and now Biloxi.
My Chiefs fanaticism runs deep. My first game at Arrowhead was back when you could buy a lower-deck end zone ticket the morning before a noon game. My Grandpa took me and handed me his binoculars telling me, "Watch the OL, that’s where the game is won or lost." we won.
I was at DT’s sack record setting game (DAMN YOU DAVID KRIEG!!)
I was at the frigid playoff loss to Indy (DAMN YOU LIN ELLIOTT!!)
I was at the playoff loss to Denver (DAMN YOU ELVIS GRBAC!!)
I saw DT strip Elway countless times.
I was proud when the Chiefs destroyed the Bills and Montana beat the Broncos on Monday Night.
I was ashamed when the Chiefs melted down on Monday Night.
I loved the Tomahawk Chop, Neil Smith’s home run sack celebration, Mighty Mouse’s flex, Priest’s slide into the end zone, and Tony G’s dunk.
I hated Rison’s Spiderman routine.
I loved watching Derrick, Neil, Dale and James introduced before the game as individuals under Marty, and the Offense introduced as a unit under Vermeil.
I wished Carl had left and Marty had stayed.
I love the Chiefs.
I dislike the Chargers.
I hate the Broncos.
I despise the Raiders.
I cried when 58 died.

Hey

I’m a Chiefs fan in upstate New York. As a kid, I liked Joe Montana, and so when he went to the Chiefs I started pulling for them. Well, then he retired, and I kind of just stuck with the Chiefs and eventually became a diehard fan. I’ve been able to see them in person once, in Buffalo, but unfortunately J.P. Losman tore us up that day. Someday I’ll make it to a game at Arrowhead.

I found this site when the Chiefs were going through all their big offseason changes and I was starved for information. I joined up and started posting a couple weeks ago.

Hey gang I’m relatively new around here. I’m 22 and from Joplin, MO so much love to swmo counterparts from carthage up at the top. I’m currently in school at Wash. U. in St. Louis but I graduate in May and I’m moving up to New York where I’m planning to tend bar as i try to pay for my budding journalism career and not to mention my student loans. I’ve been a chiefs fan for life and I’m really bummed that the giants game is going to be in kc this year as that was probably my only shot at seeing a chiefs game this season.

but just want to say thanks to everyone for making this site awesome even though i spend way too much of my life on AP

It’s not Chiefs related but it’s my handle, always has been. I included this on my SB profile because I love how I became a fan:

How I became a fan:
First off, born in Manhattan, KS; raised in Colorado. When I was in the 2nd grade everyone was all about the donkeys because they were on their way to lose a super-bowl. I was told by my teacher I was supposed to go for the donkeys because they were my home team. My reaction was f—- that, I was born in KS I’m a Chiefs fan. Even as a small child I knew better! That year the donkeys lost to the Giants.

I am 30, I just moved to the L.A. area (Marina del Rey). I have not met any football fans out here, everyone likes the Lakers or Dodgers. I was raised in Colorado and that is a rough place to grow up a Chiefs fan.

Like ROC I am a fan of LJ, mostly because of how he has thumped the Broncos so many times (same reason I still love Dante Hall I guess). I have only been to one Chiefs game at Mile Hi Stadium and the Chiefs got whooped on a very cold day in December. I would love to see them in San Diego and I would also like to see a game at Arrowhead some day (ideally against the Broncos where we would pretty much have the best game ever).

There's always next week,,, and when we run out of weeks, there's always next year!

They are some of the worst fans

I knew this guy who always said the same thing when the Broncos would lose “Someone must have paid Elway to throw the game”. Seriously, the fans are why I hate the donkeys so much.

Mikvogel

Hey all- I’ve been around the site for the last few years.

I currently live in Des Moines, IA and was born and raised a Chiefs fan in Topeka, KS.

I credit my dear-departed grandmother, the wife of a football coach, for my extremely early love of the game and my belief that success lies in the heart of the team- on the line.

I like to think outside the box when it comes to the business side of the game- pulling for oddball trades and rooting for the underdog free agent. Thus I sometimes lob up an oddball post or suggestion (see my LJ for Leinart trade suggestion earlier this year) to see what the reaction will be.

I also am a fan of execution. It’s an area that I feel Herm let go… sloppy route running, missed assignments, and terribly reactive defense… all pathetic execution of their duties/responsibilities on the field. Play like this can get my vitriol up pretty high.

That said… After suffering through the Bill Kinney years growing up, and the recent demise of my favorite team at the hands of Vermiel (last years), and Herm (whom I still contend should never have been hired), I’m looking forward to the new regime and while I know it will take a couple of years to build, I’m excited to see my team fighting with grit and passion on every play- hungry to bring us another Superbowl trophy.

CMatthews

Found this site last summer and joined in November. Born and raised in KC. I lived in the Northland (turned into some place called Zona Rosa) and was dragged to Minnesota by a ball and chain about 4 years ago. In the contract for the move I was guaranteed DirecTV (NFL Ticket) and the basement was mine! I now live in a Red & Gold basement with my 12’ mural I painted, shelves full of Chiefs stuff (autographed Priest Holmes football, autographed Dick Vermeil mini helmet, autographed Christian Okoye card in a plaque, picture of me around 2 yrs old ‘1975’ in Chiefs clothes with a helmet and football….)

And I’m sick of 7 months of Winter!!!!!!!!

hastingsg7

Hey everyone. I’m pretty new around here as well. Just began posting, although I have been reading the site for sometime. I’m 23, and one of the few Chiefs fans I know of from the small state of Delaware. I am actually currently working in Boston, and I was one of the many fans in New England last season when we first witnessed our new quarterback start to play. I’m 6’4, 235lb, former small college TE, and had a few other loyal Chiefs fans staying close to me as we left Gillette stadium for protection after we took out Brady. I used to love to sport my alternative charcoal color Gonzalez jersey to all games, but now it looks like I will have to change that.

Being Delaware does not have any professional teams, I began rooting for KC back when Rich Gannon, representing the U of D, was with them and been a loyal fan since. I look forward to the Chiefs making their East coast visits this season to Baltimore, Philly, and Washington, all of which I plan to attend.

Yo, AP.

29 years old, Chiefs fan for all of it, born into it, my old man had season tickets for awhile and was at the double OT Dolphins, Christmas Day playoff game.

7 year season ticket holder. At the ‘Head every Sunday morning at 7:30 during the season waiting in line to tailgate. Bitter we can’t at least get a 3 pm start. Bought the seats as soon as I had a gig out of college, lived off the plaza but moved to Blue Springs when I got married. Wife just had our 3rd kid in 3 years…and now I’m the proud owner of a vasectomy. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it :)

Sales pay the bills, I travel quite a bit for the job, I also get to negotiate, both I love, expense reports, I hate.

I enjoy arguing, and people that have original opinions. Even though I’m generally pretty positive, compared to most posters on AP, I’m probably considered pretty negative.

I have a strong passion for bourbon, and you won’t find me at Arrowhead (or Kaufmann, or…) without a flask.

Played LB (#56) in HS and D-II college until my knee decided it had had enough, perhaps not coincidentally, this is about the time I discovered bourbon.

And if you don’t know, now you know…

I’m a huge Chiefs fan from a small town in Southern Illinois (just over the river from St Louis)

Back in the really early 90s, my uncle, who lives in KC, took me and my best friend to a Chiefs game (about age 11). And we saw Okoye score a touchdown, Smith and Thomas make plays on defense and we have been shitting arrowheads ever since.

And now we make at least 1 road trip to KC every year.

• not sure why I chose the screen name. just one of those things where you read a post here, and want to leave a comment, but you have to register first. so when thinking of a screen name, i just threw out some random letters & numbers never assuming I’d ever come here again. but when I was looking for any news I could find on who the chiefs might hire as a GM earlier this year, I kept coming back to this site. Now it’s one of about three sites I visit at least daily. if I had to do it all over again, I’d have chosen a more well-thought-out screen name like “UnfrozenCavemanLawyer” or something cool like that.

• 25 years old from St. Joseph, MO. Became a chiefs fan when I was 8 years old (1991 season) when I started watching the games with my dad. It’s a very surreal feeling going from a child having your dad answer all your questions about football, to 17 years later, you find yourself having to explain things going on in the league to him. :)

• First Chiefs game I attended was September 28, 1992 (no, I didn’t look that up, I actually have a knack from remembering dates). It was a monday night game against the Oakland Los Angeles Raiders. Eric Dickerson – well past his prime, but still amazing – was playing for the raiders and, I believe in their first possession bolted through the line and ran for a 50-yard TD. I was devasted, but fortunately that was the last time they would score the rest of the night. we won 27-7.

• My second favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks (I determined this as a young’n BEFORE I understood the significance of division rivalries). Mostly because I’ve always liked their colors and Seattle is probably my favorite major city of all the ones I’ve visited. Not 100% sure why.

• Other than NFL, I’m not a major sports fan in the sense that I don’t “follow” other leagues on a day-to-day basis. I like the Royals and enjoy going to games, but not a big baseball guy. Love the Boston Celtics (ever since I was a kid and saw that episode of Cheers where Cliff & Norm went to Boston Garden). I HATE college sports. I’ve tried and tried and tried and just can’t get into it. I know that college is where the pros come from, but the when they play the 10-second highlight reel of the guy the Chiefs just picked at the Draft, I’ve had my fill of watching college football for the year. ;)

• Random NFL opinion: I hate show-boating and over grandiose endzone celebrations, etc and the players who help to encourage it (chad johnson, terrell owens, deion sanders, etc). It takes away from the “team” mentality AND it expels energy that the player could otherwise harness and use when he gets back on the field. That being said, i DON’T believe the NFL should be legislating whether or not is allowed, so much as players should be coached to show some class. I have just as much respect for Marcus Allen as a talented player as I do to the fact that when he entered the endzone, he handed the ball to the official and calmly walked off the field. That’s what good sportsmanship is all about.

• I work for the cable company in advertising. i shoot and edit many of the cheesy local commercial spots people see on TV.

• I listen to all different kinds of music.

• Hello, AP Nation.
