I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

It does suck and if anyone understands what you are going through, they are here. I have been a Chiefs and Royals fan my whole life (46 years).
I remember as a kid growing up only listening to the Chiefs on the radio because I don't remember them being on TV because the Chiefs of the 80's were awful. In my lifetime pre-Mahomes KC won 4 playoff games.......total. They beat the Raiders in 1990 (I believe) and I don't even remember that. The Marty era Chiefs are defined by being great regular season teams, but as sure as the sun rises, losing in the playoffs. Two of those playoff wins were in one season with Montana before he got knocked out of the AFCCG ruining our chances. Then with Andy and Alex we got one playoff win against the Texans, but dealt with more playoff disappointment.
The Royals were good before my time and won the WS in 85 and then became one of the worst franchises in baseball until a good run in 2013-2014. Then they became one of the worst teams in baseball again.
While it sucks a lot, when they do win it all it is even more sweet. Your team will win one eventually and you can relish in that. As far as Bengals fans you are a good egg. A large number of them suck and I relish in their misery, especially after the "script", Burrowhead, and Mayor nonsense. [Reply]

I was born in 83, so I don't remember the Royals WS and barely remember the KU 88 Ship.
After Roy shitting the bed and Self getting punked in 05,06,07, I was thinking KU was cursed. 08 legitimately changed my life. Basketball became fun again.
I knew the Chiefs were cursed FFS they were bad save 2 seasons of disappointement with a mercinary SF castoff. Then we were really good under Vermiel and won *checks notes* 0.00 playoff games...FUCK.
Then the decade of darkness. I should have checked out far more than I did while the franchise was finding new and creative ways to be the worst fucking fan experience possible.
Then we got Reid and and got respectable again. After the Andrew Luck (the concussion game) dogfuck implosion I had to check out for a bit. I was barely paying attention to the Triplett game (fuck that motherfucker with a D9 Cat).
Then Mahomes happened and changed my fandom.
Just read some threads here from 2014, and we've all been there. Just check out for a bit if need be. Fandom is weird. I'm a pretty normal well adjusted dude. Run a business, have a good family, I'm pretty damned happy in life. But the Bowl win in 20 (and the KU win in 08) legitimately changed my life. I can't explain why it means what it means to my life. But it does.
Just hang tight, everybody on the board has been there. At least you won playoff games in the last 25 years, and UK isn't a post season dud.

Could be worse. Could be a San Diego sports fan. Or a Browns fan. /shrug [Reply]
