Crazy things can happen.
I never thought that I'd see a Royals WS win before a Chiefs SB win, at least in my lifetime. Chiefs have been at the front doorstep because could never get in the door to the party, while the Royals had been terrible most of my life.
I was fortunate enough to start tee-ball around the time/peak of the "Bo Knows" era and last of the Brett era. Thought Bo was Superman. Every kid in KC wanted to be #16 or #5.
I was only 2yrs old and living in Peoria IL when the Royals won in '85, so there's no real connection for me there.
But also around that time, also Marty/DT coming to town, I was old enough to understand and be interested in football, old enough to where I could sit down and watch and actually be interested in the game. That's when I became a Chiefs fan. The Chiefs for most part were always good. But would always get beaten by teams with better QB in postseason. At the doorstep but never inside the party.
Growing up I never thought I'd ever see the Royals win a WS in my lifetime. Lots of people felt that way until about 2011 or 12. We all hoped that Hoz, Moose and these guys would pan out through the system and it happened and KC got a couple WS appearances with a win.
NFL is structured a little differently but like all pro sports you need a few things. A good FO committed to winning. A good coaching staff, and a couple/few really good superstars at the couple most important positions on the game. Whether you spend or draft/develop you still need all 3 things.
