Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

I get to see my Chiefs play one time a year. In the last 5 years, I've seen them win 0 times.

 Okay, so I was in England during the 2007 season, week 4, where we actually won in San Diego. But none the less. I've been to 4/5 of the games in San Diego in the last 5 years, and Kansas City still cannot pull off a win. I was in the endzone where Thiggy threw incomplete to Tony G with the 2 point conversion. I was there when we lost by 11 points in a horribly boring game. I was there when Cassel fumbled the ball away countless times.

 

They were all absolutely terrible. Horrible, horrible feelings. This year, things were gonna be different.

Star-divide

My day started out by giving my best friend my Charles jersey to wear. He's actually a Falcons fan but since we were going to SD he knew I was goin to be outnumbered and picked on so he helped me out. He actually loves Charles so it was a fair trade.

 

It started off like it was planned. Up at 630, leave by 730, arrive in SD by 9 to start tailgating.

Here's me, my best friend and my brother. Yes, he's a Charger fan.

 

So we tailgate for a few hours and I get drink offers from my fellow Chiefs brothers and sisters, denying most of them because I want to keep a level head, careful that I don't know anyone's heads off. Get into the stadium and take a few pictures with my other friends before we get our seats.

(The guy in the Gates jersey is actually a diehard Cowboys fan, and his gf in the Cassel jersey is a real Chiefs fan. He suprised her by taking her to the game and I let her wear it for the day).

 

So we get to our seats and get to know the people behind us. The hot milf for instance that was extremely superstitious, and the drunk Charger fan that would scream "FELIPPEEE!" everytime that bastard Rivers did something.

Needless to say, I only took a few more photos. The game started off bad, got worse, got ugly, then got downright impossible. The one name that I kept hearing, no matter what, was Eric Berry. Dude was flying around today, trying to make plays, but still couldn't keep the team afloat.

 

Our offense was dead, our defense was dead, our coaches were flat. Haley was walking with a horrible limp again, and wasn't screaming at our offense (I think I made up for it though). Everything that could have went wrong, did. Murphys law, or as I've come to call it, Chiefs Law.

 

At the end of the day, I held out my Flowers jersey and a sharpie, screaming for anyone to come over. Nobody did. Everyone just hung their head and walked to the locker room. Except for 2 players that I didn't notice. The first was Verran Tucker, who was near the 15 yard line trying to get a few autographs in. The other? Eric Berry. Signin as many as he could. I screamed my head off for him, but he sadly couldn't get to me. The coaches were rushing him back into the locker room where he was probably gonna get his ears screamed off. He apologized repeatedly and said thanks for comin out and supporting his team.

My two friends, the cowboys fan and his girlfriend that wore my Cassel jersey came running over and threw the jersey at me. What does it have on it?

Eric Berrys autograph. I know it's on a Cassel jersey, but I've been pulling for this kid since we got Mike Brown.

 

I didn't get a win out of my Chiefs in San Diego. We played with our backup QB (who doesn't deserve half the blame he's getting btw), and just came out flat. The Chargers destroyed us in all aspects of the game. This made my day a bit better though.


Every year I come to watch my Chiefs get beat. I spend hundred of dollars on tickets, gas, food, parking, etc. And every year I walk away disappointed. This year was the worst, because I know we are a better team than the Chargers. We're going to the playoffs, and it hurt to see us lose this one. I know we were the underdogs, but how many fans actually want to admit the fact that we're probably gonna lose a game?

None the less, I see my Chiefs once a year, and I'm grateful. Be happy guys, we're still on top. We make our break our own destiny. If we start giving up on the Chiefs, they'll give up on us. Hold your heads high, we can grieve for a few hours, but it's back to work this weak. We're taking the governers cup, and we're gonna kick ass the last three games of the season. We're gonna go into the playoffs and hold it down. We're gonna go to the superbowl and smack around anyone that doubts us.

 

WE ARE THE CHIEFS!

 

Not saying we're going to the superbowl or anything, just trying to get a few of you to lift your spirits. Let's go guys.

Please stop going to chiefs games.

I kid of course good to hear SOMEONE was showing kc love today. Got a pair of EB’s gloved signed at training camp. . .super nice guy.

Keep fighting the good fight in SD we’ll see who’s laughing when we sweep them next year

There were more Chiefs in SD this year than I've ever seen

Which was good, but I was also pissed when they left in the third quarter. I was on my feet the whole game yelling and screaming and cheering whenever possible.

It was nice to walk around Qualcomm without looking over my shoulder every 2 minutes though, plenty of Chief fans had each others backs.

by SoCalChief17 on Dec 13, 2010 1:20 AM CST up reply actions  

I agree

3 yrs ago when I went we only found 1 small group of KC fans. This year they were everywhere & I was loving it. We were tailgating around about 3 other groups of Chiefs fans & we took pics with about 20 of us or so in them.

Congrats on that autograph! I got Okoye’s in SD on Saturday night :)

I'm a Chiefs biatch, don't @$%& with my team!

by HeatherChiefsLvr on Dec 13, 2010 12:31 PM CST up reply actions  

Awesome about Okoye

I actually use to jog up and down Haven st (it’s a street near where I work and where he lives) in the early mornings without knowin it was him. Didn’t ever say much except small talk. Found out it was him after I stopped going lol. He’s a coach at a school near here, supposed to be a really awesome guy.

So glad you guys had fun though, next years will be even bigger right?

by SoCalChief17 on Dec 13, 2010 12:35 PM CST up reply actions  

I hope so!

I think now that everyone is reading that it was actually a successful turn out, maybe that will make everyone want to go for sure next year!

Yeah I heard Okoye say he lived in Rancho…I was like “IE?” and he smiled and said “yeah, in the IE” lol I’m a dork like that :)

I'm a Chiefs biatch, don't @$%& with my team!

Yep, good old Rancho

If any of you guys are ever there come into BJs and ask to be served by the Chiefs fan. I got you ;)

by SoCalChief17 on Dec 13, 2010 1:57 PM CST up reply actions  

My gf has family that lives in Rancho.

I’ll make sure to hit the BJs next time I’m out there.

I'm thinking about writing a few letters to the Chiefs

Or Cassel in particular for an autograph so I can frame it completely with Cassels autograph too. I’d love to make a big frame kinda thing with autographs but it’s so difficult being in SoCal.

One of my Favorite Reads from this site...

i too also live in SoCal, more so near the San Fernando Valley thou, around the same age as you.So i feel like your story is what couldve happened to me today…. i actually really wanted to go to this game you attended & i was even offered tickets from a person from a sports shop, but i declined due to christmas time & me having to save $$$ for it. i Envy your heart to stay for the entire game and you being one of many SoCal Chiefs Fans we have out here. ive already made up in my mind i will Forsure be at this game next year, and maybe we could even meet up haha. Also i have an Eric Berry jersey and wish i couldve gotten his autograph….man good thing you gave her the Cassel jersey.

by Tipzz on Dec 13, 2010 2:26 AM CST up reply actions  

Awesome, I'm Inland Empire

San Bernardino to be more exact. I’ve had a horrible year, and the one thing I wanted to go to was this game. Car accident knocked me outta commission for months without money, and I was barely able to scrape the money together. None the less though man, keep in touch and we’ll definitely get the tailgating thing going next year. I’ll be of legal drinking age next year also so I’d like to go out with sexassasin and heather if possible lol.

by SoCalChief17 on Dec 13, 2010 2:45 AM CST up reply actions  

oh yeah i go to San Bernardino sometimes..

i usually go to this club over their, “the Hudson/Gotham” im sure you have heard of it… they throw small raves their sumtimes too. Sorry to hear about your accident bro im already regretting not going to this game even though we lost. it would be my very 1st chiefs game but oh well theirs always next year. haha and ill bring sum extra cash for the brew.

by Tipzz on Dec 13, 2010 2:57 PM CST up reply actions  

Yep, not quite sure what it is now

It’s been reopened and shut down so many times it’s not even funny. Revolution is the new big club around here, they’ve had a lot of celebrities and rappers and stuff in there lately too, it’s pretty sweet.

by SoCalChief17 on Dec 13, 2010 3:16 PM CST up reply actions  

Haha same here

Exact same thing has happened to me but I’ve only been 4 times

I feel your pain...

I went 0-5 for my first 5 visits to Arrowhead. But it gets better, I am 2-0 since. The Chiefs will get you a win next year, I know it!

by Grayt1 on Dec 13, 2010 12:40 PM CST reply actions  

I'm 0-3 with going to games too

I’ve been to 2 at Qualcomm and 1 at Arrowhead :(

I'm a Chiefs biatch, don't @$%& with my team!

by HeatherChiefsLvr on Dec 13, 2010 1:20 PM CST up reply actions  

At least you're not the kind of jinx I am.

Not only do the Chiefs lose when I see them on the road, we get blown out. I was at Denver and at SD this season. Last season I was at Philly. I think I might need to retire from my stadium tour, for the sake of our beloved Chiefs. Please accept my humble apologies fellow Chiefs fans.

We did too. It was a blast.

I actually ran into the other guys from KC at the Bud Light Tent on gameday. It was Laila’s first NFL game and she said she loves tailgating. I told her she ain’t seen nothing yet. Next year, I take her to Arrowhead, we’re I’m happily undefeated as a spectator.

lol nice!

I couldn’t even get over to the Budlight area…..I pulled in gate 1 and as usual driving through the lot was not easy. I took the first spot I saw near all the red….lol
