Why people think ranting and raving makes them look like they know what they're talking about is beyond me.

Works for Jim Rome...

Somewhere between 3-4.


Thanks a lot Pioli.

1 - True "homers" who will cheer for the team and applaud every move they make unconditionally. These types almost don't even exist on ChiefsPlanet (though people like to act like they do). These are only a small portion of the Chiefs fanbase, and they look like this.
This is the only statement I don't believe. These people aren't a small portion. There are literally thousands of these ****ers out there. They have zero football knowledge and only go off of what ESPN and NFL tell them.

Balanced, i prefer optimism but am always open to pessimism when presented with good evidence.

True Fan really doesnt mean much anymore, there are precious few full-blown homers on here these days.

I don't mean to say that they don't exist in the world, but just not on here. CP eats homers alive.

Even then, though, my personal guess is that only 10-15% of the total fanbase really falls into that category. See: Arrowhead attendance late last year.

If a homer can stay a homer through 10 years of shit, I don't know whether to applaud them or loathe them.

WhawhaWhat 05-03-2013 09:59 AM

Always an optimist.

-King- 05-03-2013 09:59 AM

I think I'm balanced for the most part. I hate the Alex Smith trade but I could see this team winning 10 games and going to the playoffs. I think there's a huge difference between Crennel and Reid and that alone is worth 4-5 more wins.

Just as in politics where most of the noise is made by the people who are the extremist on the right and left, so it is here at CP. The naysayers(which includes many of those who mislabel themselves as pessimist) dominate the forum even though as in politics their numbers are small compared to the larger population....so it is here at CP.

Per webster most of the CP naysayers and pessimist aren't really fans....
def... Definition of FAN

1
: an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator

I consider myself a realist, but am probably viewed as a pessimist because well this team has history of sucking and it looks like they will again. So when you think they suck and they do you get viewed as being negative, but you are actually a realist :shrug:

DaKCMan AP 05-03-2013 10:04 AM

I'm an Awesome Optimist with pragmatic expectations and realistic evaluations.

I'm optimistic about most things in my life (who wouldn't be whilst this Awesome?) but in reference to the OP definitions - I always knew, and voiced, that Cassel would be a failure.
