If the 3-9 Chiefs' pretty miserable ranking in the AFC West basement wasn't enough, now the league is threatening to black out local television broadcast of Sunday's game against 4-8 Buffalo unless 3,500 more people buy tickets.
It'd be the first time since 1990 that a Chiefs game would be blacked out in Kansas City. That means the team is on the verge of doing something it hasn't done in almost 20 years. Who says we can't make records! No matter that it's for something bad.
Mark Donovan, the Chiefs chief operating officer, didn't dither about assigning blame: "The possibility of a blackout is caused by the combination of the current economic climate, inclement weather in December, a non-divisional opponent, and our record."
Oh yeah, and our record. Sounds like the proverbial perfect storm. If the game isn't broadcast on local television this weekend, Chiefs Nation, it's on you.

If the Chiefs get blacked out, does that mean there might be some real football games on tv? I hate the NFL's policy on showing only the home team at a certain time, I'm a casual fan who wants to watch the important games.
Oh yeah, let me open my wallet for you so I can pay for terrible upper deck seats, lose feeling in my toes, hang out with the drunktards and watch Matt Cassel get knocked over more times than a ten pin. Sounds like the perfect way to spend a December Sunday.
I went to the game the last time the Bills played at Arrowhead. It was among the worst games of professional football I have ever seen.
You mean the Chiefs are an actual NFL team? And they play here in Kansas City? I thought they were just Funk's fantasy league team.
