About

Yes I'm a girl! I'm a mother of 4. I was born In Kansas City, Missouri and have been a die hard Chiefs fan since my 1st grade year when I abandoned the Dallas Cowboys. I've been with the Chiefs for more years than I care to admit through the almost highs and the very lows. And no matter how bad they have gotten at times I just don't have it in me to like any other team as much.

The women in my family seem to be more passionate about football than the men are. In my family it's the women who scream at the TV like the refs and the players can hear us. My daughter is carrying on that tradition admirably and although she's small in stature I'm sure she could intimidate almost anyone on the field if she yelled at them in person.

I don't follow many sports other than football. I watch college ball now and then cheering on KU. I don't like baseball unless I'm there in person. I used to follow The Chicago Bulls but as it turned out I was really just following Mike, as he faded so did my interest. I do follow NASCAR Sprint cup a little. I like Jimmie Johnson and have since his rookie year in the cup. It seems like I had a good eye on that one. I don't follow it like I follow football though.

I'm pretty opinionated and bleacher report gives me an outlet. In my short time here I've come to really enjoy it.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Deron Cherry, Joe Montanna, Rich Gannon, Marcus Allen, Trent Green, Tony Gonzalez, Payton Manning, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jimmie Johnson, and George Brett

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts

  • Favorite Coaches

    Todd Haley, Dick Vermeil, Tony Dungy, Mike Shanahan, Phil Jackson, and Marty Schottenheimer

  • All Time Sports Moment

    There's lots of memorable moments but the one that sticks out most in my mind is when the Colts beat the Chiefs in the 1st round of the playoffs in 2003 (yeah it wasn't the first time) and to add insult to injury got kocked out themselves the very next game

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    I haven't been able to make many pro games. I did go see the Kansas City Comets when I was pretty young ( my first pro game) and I attended a couple real good royals games back when Saberhagen was still playing. Yeah I know I never got to go to a Chiefs game but I will.

    Even though I'm a diehard Broncos fan, I always liked Len Dawson when I was young (ages me a little, I guess), so I've got a soft spot in my heart for the Chiefs, even thought they're a division rival.

    I hope that Kyle Orton does great in KC! If the stupid Broncos could've/would've given him a dominating running game, he would have excelled. Given his experience, I think he'll easily surpass Cassel. Just get that rushing attack going and your offense will be great!!

    I still can't believe the Patriots gave up Cassel so easily. Nice pick up, he is doing as well as I guessed he would. (would have made a good Raider). Good luck this year.

    Strong possibility of the NFL being diluted in quality, by extending the regular season to 18 games. My solution generates additional league revenue and increased competition, without sacrificing the quality and integrity of the NFL.

    how do you like the colts, gosh I hate Peyton, he's beaten our chiefs more time then we can remember! I am so glad my chiefs are in the playoffs, the only person that can take that away from us is Peyton, so I do hope the colts get eliminated, I believe we can beat the highly overrated Jets! On my nfl fantasy team, other than Matt Ryan and Tony G which I drafted, everyone else on the roster is The chiefs roster lol, and I am in the finals next week hahhe! How I start posting, I tried but it didn't go through, I finally figure since you're a die hard fan as me, you'll know what to do, thanks!!
