Have the Chiefs driven you to drink yet?
A restaurant owner admitted to me the other day that it’s difficult when the Kansas City Chiefs are doing well because then nobody goes out for Sunday brunch. As a result, he felt guilty but he was pleased with the results of the past two weekends because the abysmal scores meant people needed an escape from what they were seeing on their televisions. A cocktail server at a bar offered a different take — people drink regardless of the score, but it’s nicer to have happy, rather than surly, drunks coming at 3 p.m.
Let’s not talk about what was supposed to be the joyous return of football but instead seek to find comfort in their shared human experience. Have the Chiefs driven you from your home to seek solace in the bottle or brunch?
