If you’re ever in Kansas City during football season, you’ll see a lot of red.
You’ll see lots of red at other times of the year as well, maybe a little more blue during the spring/summer depending on how the Royals are doing. Or Sporting KC (also, blue).
Even alternate fashionable game avatar Jean wears red on Fridays:
It’s hard to miss when a red Friday occurs as even the local news reports on it. 
(Not sure what happened with the photo so I’ll just have to share that the reporter had on a red shirt and hat under his station logo clothing)
You’ll also see lots of red on game days and on days there aren’t any games. If you’re a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, you’re part of the “Red Kingdom” after all.
A Bit of Fun
And if you’re a fan, you keep good company. I stumbled across this video made by Henry Winkler (he’s a Chiefs fan) this week. It made me laugh. Maybe you’ll enjoy it as well. Even if you aren’t wearing red today, I think any sports fans can relate to the rituals portrayed here. And I may or may not have spent part of a past Super Bowl Sunday reading my book just to do my part.

And oh, that poor quarterback from Jacksonville who said the following: “I can’t imagine (Arrowhead) will be much louder than our fans were here on Saturday, honestly”
Um, maybe he should have done a little research? Article from NBC sports on loudest NFL stadiums. If you don’t want to click over, here ya go: The stadium currently holds the Guinness World Record for loudest open outdoor air stadium. It hit a record of 142.2 decibels during a 2014 game where only 76,416 fans showed up. This sound was equivalent to a jet engine.
And Now for a Few Disclaimers
- Neither of our kids like football (or sports really).
- I’ve never actually seen the movie Mean Girls (should put it on the to-do list I suppose)
- I grew up in the 70’s when the Chiefs weren’t really good (nicely stated) and used to cheer for the Pittsburgh Steelers (during the Terry Bradshaw years). Didn’t really become an actual Chiefs fan until later though I did wear a Chiefs outfit home from the hospital as a baby.
- You won’t get arrested if you forget to wear your red on a Friday but you might get a look if you wear clothing from a rival team.
- I’m hoping I haven’t jinxed my team with this post.
- Most Chiefs fans aren’t as crazy, they’re worse! However, most Kansas Citians, Chiefs fans or not, are very nice. Just don’t tell us our stadium isn’t loud.
Are you a sports fan? Have you ever seen the movie, Mean Girls? Is it worth my time?
And of course, I must end this by saying: Go Chiefs!!!

Hi, Jean!
No, I’m not a fan of any sports team, but I enjoyed reading your post.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you! I hope you are having a great weekend so far as well!
Good Luck!!!
I am cheering for your team with you!
And yes! You must watch Mean Girls!!!!
Thank you! I think they needed a little, that was an edge of the seat game for a bit. Oh, I’m going to have to find the movie. Hoping it’s on at least one of our streaming services.
We aren’t really sports fans here, either. But I do think Mean Girls is worth watching! There are so many references to it, that knowing where they actually come from is fun.
I’m definitely going to have to make a point to seek out and watch the movie. Hope you are having a great weekend so far!
I am not into any sports team but I do watch when my brother is watching as it gets interesting. Nice Post, I read the title and thought you are getting ready for valentine’s 😁
I’ve been thinking of Valentine’s Day but not quite ready for it. Trying to hold off until Feb 1 to put up decorations and such. My son says he can usually tell the score by what we are yelling in the living room. Hope you are having a great weekend!
I do like the Chiefs because I like Mahomes but I’m going to be rooting for Trevor on this one. Hehe!
I haven’t seen Mean Girls either.
Well, I can’t say I’m sorry your team lost but he did play well 😉 I’m going to try and watch it somewhere I think.
I have never seen Mean Girls.
I like Mahomes better than Lawrence, so I will be rooting for the Chiefs as well this weekend!
I thought I was probably the only one who hadn’t seen that movie, it does sound as if I need to find it to watch. Certainly wasn’t a boring game this afternoon. Hope you are having a great Saturday!
I just discovered your blog and enjoyed your post and could relate to much of it. Especially getting motivated to accomplish tasks and getting them done. Your pottery is gorgeous….I love the color!! This Tuesday I’m using that hospitality thing you mentioned. I love doing that and it seems that I’m pretty much the only gal who hosts times to gather a group of friends together so we can all catch up at one time and one place. Plus, when any of them offer to bring something….I’ve learned to say, “Sure! Thank you!” I always clean house a wee bit better when the girls come over so that is a good thing….incentive for me. We still have our Christmas trees up, so it will have a wee festive atmosphere in here. Maybe I could find my Christmas CD and put some music on in the background.
Thank you for your comments. I do love the color of my pottery as well. Oh, there’s something I need to work on…I’m bad about letting people bring things (or I used to be bad at it anyway). Sounds like you are planning a wonderful gathering with your friends. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and that you found my blog.
