This Valentine's Day is for you, Chiefs fans

Like many of you, I didn't choose to be a Chiefs fan. I was born into it.

I have been trained to love this team unconditionally, which can be (and certainly has been) dangerous to my health.

Wesley Hitt Getty Images Sport

I remember the good 'ol days.

Stephen Dunn Getty Images Sport

Back when we were on top of the world.

Brian Bahr Getty Images Sport

When it didn't matter if you were a Hall of Fame QB. You walked into Arrowhead, you lost.

We tailgate together.

I've been lonely even though I've been with you, Chiefs.

Doug Pensinger Getty Images Sport

I've been told to never forget.

Jamie Squire Getty Images Sport

And believe me, I won't.

Ronald Martinez Getty Images Sport

I won't forget our stars in Kansas City.

Dilip Vishwanat Getty Images Sport

Even those who aren't really stars at all.

Jamie Squire Getty Images Sport

That's why we've been called loyal to a fault.

Doug Pensinger Getty Images Sport

Still. That's better than being a Broncos fan.

Doug Pensinger Getty Images Sport

Or a Chargers fan. (Note : Could not find picture of a real life Chargers fan.)

Jamie Squire Getty Images Sport

The Raiders ... well, they're just sad.

Brian Bahr Getty Images Sport

Not just in football. But in life.

Jed Jacobsohn Getty Images Sport

The lowest moments in my life have been because of you, Chiefs.

Brian Bahr Getty Images Sport

But so have the best. Sometimes, even in the same season.

The price of loyalty has been never seeing a championship. At least not in my lifetime.

John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports

Catch me on a day like this and I'll tell you that's OK.

Brian Bahr Getty Images Sport

My Valentine's Day request to you is to help raise the next generation of Chiefs fans.

John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports

So that they too can know what it feels like to be anxious, elated, disappointed, nervous, scared, frustrated and exhausted in a span of three hours inside a bowl with 70,000 other screaming fans.

Doug Pensinger Getty Images Sport

Did I mention disappointed?

Brian Bahr Getty Images Sport

I meant excited. AHHHHH!!!!!!!
