I would like to formally apologize for attempting to be one of you. It was fun while it lasted, but I will now hand back my red and yellow face paint and foam fingers to their rightful owners: all of you who are cursed to live in Kansas and need some sort of happiness to cling on too.
It appears that despite my far from modest bragging efforts and excessive confidence in something I don’t truly believe in, the Kansas City Chiefs no longer remain undefeated. They lost to the Denver Broncos, which apparently everyone and their mother (way to stay unbiased, game broadcasters) knew would happen.
Not only did the Chiefs lose their undefeated record to the Broncos, but they also lost last week to the San Diego Chargers, which leaves their record at 9-2. They still remain highly ranked since they have so few losses, and can still qualify for the playoffs and eventually the Super Bowl, but frankly I couldn’t care less.
My passion for the Chiefs was as brief as the state is boring (which is very.) My interest peaked, like a middle school girl who had a pink Razr in the 2000s, when they stood the chance to win their division. Now I will refocus my attention on where it truly belongs on Sundays: procrastinating my homework and staying in bed for as long as humanly possible.
I wish you all luck in continuing your fandom for the Chiefs; I’m sure they’ll appreciate your efforts, since clearly they’ve stopped putting in any effort towards winning. Let me know how it all works out for you.
Sincerely yours,
Gillian MacInerney, The Ultimate Fair Weather Fan
P.S. Please enjoy the attached photo. Clearly this is me, “peacing out” on the rest of the season.
I completely understand being a fair weather fan (and observing them too). My hometown team, the Houston Texans, had an unfortunate season and lost many fans along the way. I enjoyed the analogies you use throughout your post!
ReplyDeleteI am now, and always will be, a chiefs fan! Even when they're bad the games are fun.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the analogies you used in your blog. Totally get where you're coming from when you say you are a big fan. Football season is the best!
ReplyDeleteThis was a very funny blog! I agree with Ashley, I liked all of the analogies you used. Hope you find something else to devote your time to on Sundays!
ReplyDeleteThis was a very humorous blog post! I think the best comparison was, "like a middle school girl who had a pink Razr in the 2000's", too funny.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining blog post to read, you have a very humorous and sarcastic voice! As a football fan myself, I totally understand what it means to be a fair-weather fan and thanks to our poor season this year at TCU, I can reaffirm my status. Really enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh, I agree with Shelly I like the analogies you used it helped me to picture what you were talking about in a humorous way.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the humor she used in her writing. Blogs are meant to be entertaining and witty and she nailed it.
