As for all this, “now you want peace” stuff, I’ll just say that I have always tried to be friendly here. It’s just sports. I am a bit of a smartass, by nature - I’ve tried to tone it down, with age. But I have always liked the back-and-forth - both dishing it out, and taking it. I try to avoid situations where people might be justified in getting their feelings hurt (I didn’t post here in the few weeks after you guys lost that last one to us, for example). But I generally don’t dislike many people - certainly not anyone here (well, maybe one or two  ). Those of you who visit the Huddle will know that you are welcomed there; and I chime in defensively whenever the locals jump on the bandwagon to get one of you banned. |
I'll admit that some KC fans still seem bizarrely hung up on Elway, but I'm genuinely not one of them. I think it's a much lower percentage than you're implying.
My memories of Chiefs games only go back to around the Montana era, and those are hazy. The only even slightly traumatizing memory I have involving Elway is the '97 playoff loss. And my reaction to that game wasn't "Damn you Elway!!!".... It was "You idiot, Marty, we'd have won that game and maybe the Super Bowl if you hadn't started Grbac."
