I never imagined I'd be back here with another ****SAVE OUR CHIEFS*** thread...

[pr_capone]

but here we are. This is a long post and there is no getting around that.

Most of you probably know about SOC but it's been 12 years and 3 Super Bowls since then and there has probably been an influx of new users/fans that don't have any idea so I'm gonna briefly recap what happened just so they can keep up with the rest of this post. 12 years ago the people on this forum were the central supporters of one of the most effective fan rebellions against their team, ever. CP trolled on Social Media, trolled on Craigslist, made videos, came together and flew banners, and organized "Blackout Arrowhead" which was so visually impactful that Marv Albert and Rich Gannon mentioned us on air during a game. It was a glorious time in CP history where we literally turned chicken shit into chicken salad.

Why am I back here talking about this? Well, some wild stuff happened, other things may be happening, and something for sure is happening. I'll elaborate.

Wild Stuff Happened:

MartyMac (SOC & part time CP'er) sent me a message a few months ago to let me know that someone, who very much wanted to remain anonymous (Marty is the only guy who knows who the person is and he isn't telling), wanted to express gratitude for what we did in 2012 with SOC. He asked for ring sizes. A few months later... this shows up. One for each of us.





It is mind blowing to think that the effort put forth by this community into a plan I brought to you played a part in a butterfly effect of events where our team has now won 3 Super Bowls, has become a dynasty, and we literally have the best QB in football history. I wanted to reach out and thank everyone here who donated money/time/voice in support of SOC. Without you none of this happens. I honestly and truthfully believe that if we don't revolt... nothing changes and Pioli would have returned in 2013. WE (CP/SOC) did that.

Wild Stuff *MAY* Be Happening:

I don't have many details yet but there is, apparently, interest in a 30 for 30 style documentary based on the events of the 2012 fan revolt in KC with Bob Fescoe attached. All of this is in it's earliest of stages and no clue if it will actually happen or not but if it does happen... CP will likely play a prominent role in the whole thing. Some may be asked to participate via interviews if they wish to.

What is *ACUTALLY* Happening:

An impromptu CP/SOC get together. This Saturday at Chapelle's at 7PM. The back room is reserved. MartyMac wants to do a "ring presentation" for the fellas involved in SOC but more than anything... we just want to hang out for a while. We never really got to do that as a group since, at the time, we were spread all over the US. Since CP was the cradle of SOC we figured we would extend the invitation to those of you who might be interested in meeting/hanging out/celebrating the success of the Chiefs since Pioli was fired.

To be clear... your tab is your own. LOL

I just made myself puke watching that video of Cassel's lowlights that Clay made.

Look how far we have come!

No one, and I mean no one could imagine we would go from the depths of Cassel and Peehole to where we are today.

Worth every cent.

This.

Crazy times that was.

And of course, woe be unto anybody who accuses me of being one, for then they'll get my well-practiced diatribe of how being a Chiefs fan prior to the Mahomes era was like a decades-long death sentence, and I can site example after example of how much it sucked, year after year after miserable year. Fifty years between Super Bowls, the first one I was too young to remember? Check. Twenty-two years between playoff wins? Check. Multiple years with the best record only to get bounced at home in the divisional round? Check. Finally bad enough to get a number one pick and the best player available is a goddamned lineman? Check. Montana getting obliterated in the AFCCG? Check. Lin Elliot? Check. Grbac over Gannon? Check. Broncos spraying their uniforms with Pam? Check. Baker's out of bounds kickoff? Check. No punt game? Check. Massive halftime lead blown and losing to the ****ing Colts in the playoffs AGAIN? Check. Mariotta catching his own deflected pass and Triplette's forward progress call? Check. Dee Ford? CHECK. And those are just the high points of the low points. They'll always shut up and go away long before I run out of things to bitch about.

That's pretty thorough. I think I'll use this, too. The only difference is that I wasn't even born yet for the first SB win.

I think all of us outside the KC area couldn't fully appreciate the amount of impact it had on the entire Kansas City area and the populace.

You guys did a great job of getting it out into the media.

I remember watching the CP'ers who led the movement on Youtube interviewed on local TV.

GREAT JOB ONCE AGAIN AND CONGRATS!!!

My memory is shit, but I was definitely on TV with Flopnuts around that time. Did I do an interview on local TV with Flopnuts or was that for something else?

ALL CAPS DEB was a Chiefs fan that was highly offended by what we did. Every last post of hers was written in ALL CAPS and she actively ran/assisted the counter-protest called "Save Our Fans".

She consistently lied about me and SOC as a whole.

She was an older lady though who was acting like she was a team mom and someone dares to say something about her boys.

Bold for anyone who has the desire to still work in professional football to give a SB ring to the leaders of a fan revolt.

There's a statue of George Washington in London, you know.

Yup. Had the "Down in flames" shirt.

I had nothing to do with the Editorial Board stuff.

The Editorial Board stuff has nothing to do with SOC and CP's efforts.

My recollection was that had nothing to do with SOC or CP. You have to remember, that organization was ran by Pioli in that time, who was so secretive that it would make the Gestapo blush. I believe that was a failed attempt hit piece against the SOC/CP, but that was so long ago.

I mean, that clown had his own coaches and people phones allegedly wiretapped. I'll cite a few examples found. It also can be found by using the Search function. And Peter King was a Pioli mouth piece.

Kent Babb piece was more accurate.
