After 20 years of a "5-year" plan to get the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl, GM Carl Peterson is resigning after the 2008 season. With Peterson gone, I am ready to be a fan of the Chiefs. I blame the Chiefs situation squarely on this man. He should've been let go after he let Neil Smith go to Denver, but that's another story.....
