$25,000.00.

These guys (Hunt, Brown, Wilson, Bud Adams) were businessmen. Period.

They saw an opportunity in the marketplace and exploited it.

And now, nearly all of them are billionaires.

If you told me I could invest $25k and 50 years later, it would be worth a billion dollars, I'd tell you to sign me up yesterday.

Their worship is beyond me.

Who? Who can this team beat, right now?

Tell me.

I just hope KC doesn't pick a QB. We need one more than they do.

Just ****ing bad everywhere.

And people jumped on my ass when I stated that there's a chance they could go 0-16.

Not to mention inflation, $25,000 in 1960 is roughly the equivalent of $178,000 today. That's a 18.9% growth rate, which is fantastic, I really wish I could get that, but anyway. Don't paint a picture in a negative light just b/c your unhappy today.

If you're so sick of this team, find a new one. seriously.

Dane, I think as bad as today was if KC would of made just one or two less mental mistakes they would have beaten the Raiders. Those are coachable issues that can be fixed. If you watched Haley's presser then you know he's already aware of the mistakes. I think you need to give the new staff time to get what is a very young team up to speed.

Well, that's all fine and dandy but we don't play the Raiders again for several months.

In the meantime, we have an absolutely brutal schedule ahead and the Chiefs could quite possibly play "perfect" games and lose big time.

They just don't have enough talent on the field this year to overcome the inevitable mistakes.

Sure they are.

JaMarcus Russell normally plays like Tom Brady.

He just had an off day.

Well, it is what it is. KC can only be as good as their talent lets them be. As long as they're building an attitude and are coached well they'll surprise a few teams and win the games they're supposed to. It's a process. This franchise has been sucked dry of talent through just awful drafts.
