Been a Chiefs fan since 1966. Watched the big game in January 1970 with my dad. I have watched hundreds of Chiefs games on TV. I saw 2 games in the old Municipal stadium downtown and close to a dozen or so at Arrowhead. I'm several hours away from KC which limits my Arrowhead experience.
I am happily married with 4 grown kids, 2 of which live in California and 2 live here in Mo.& 6 grandkids.
I live and breathe Chiefs during the season and try to relax about them in the offseason. My wife supports (puts up with) my passion for the team. Buying me Chiefs stuff when it is on sale and letting me take Sundays off (game days)without complaining. I'm locally famous for my backyard Bar B Que cuisine. Which basically means I don't burn anything and nothing is served bleeding (except my steak).
Arrowhead Pride is my home base source for all Chiefs info. No fanposts or fanshots from me for two good reasons. No computer skills, at least past the 3rd grade level and secondly, the ease at which I butcher the english language.
Go Chiefs.

Lockout Thoughts From A Chiefs Fan

This was a comment I recently posted on Bob Gretz's web site. Obviously this is my first fan post. So be kind.
I’m not a patient person, although I am surviving the lockout of 2011. The NFL is the goose that lays the golden eggs. The TV networks are feeding that goose the finest prime rib nestled inside a platinum bun. Everybody likes to make money including me.
I love football, especially Chiefs football. Why should I care if the average player earns more money in a year than I will in my lifetime. Why should I care that the average NFL owner earns more money than the GDP of most foreign countries. Why should I complain that since March of this year I’ve been reading about a bunch of guys figuring out the best way to get the bigger piece of the NFL pie. Why should I complain about the ever increasing cost of fuel, food, NFL tickets and related merchandise. Why should I complain that I have good friends that are unemployed, that taxes keep going up & that politicians have grown forked tongues.
I’m not asking for much. I’m a simple man. I pay my taxes, work hard, stay out of trouble and always trying to do whats right. I love my family, my country and my God. Why is it that since March a million guys like me have been worried about what we’ll be watching on Sundays this fall and winter. I really can’t think of anybody that owes me anything. So why am I ranting?
I love football…especially Chiefs football.
Now, make it so.
Go Chiefs.
