chiefnut…….That is a pretty damned cool way to become a Chiefs fan! And thanks for making me a feel a little younger! Way back when when I was a “sports fan” rather than just a football fan I became a Mets fan for similar reasons. I loved that they were underdogs to every team and especially the Yankees.

Chiefnut: I hear you. The BEST logo of all-time…PERIOD! There’s something about the KC logo within the Arrowhead & of course the best colors in the wold (Red, White & Gold!) As a young man I was simply memerized by it. Weird how some “little” things makes you take a certain turn & you stick with it your entire life. Glad the Donks blew it last night. Let’s try & get to 12-4 or @ the worst 11-5 We could have had last nights game!

I really LOVED Marty! I mean it. He brought us back to some respectability. I knew if the playoffs we were going to choke & yet & didn’t care. Regular season games were 3 yards & a cloud of dust! Okoye, Word, Williams. Steve DeBerg & his wonderful pass/action fakes to Stephone Paige for a 70 yard bomb! I remember bringing my father to a Patriots game (when he was alive) & they didn’t have fans back then. Just drunk idiots rolling around in the stands. We beat them 37-7 (maybe 1990?) Steve was on his game that day.
It was definitely a shame that Stephone Paige didn’t get to play in the ’92-’93 seasons. Really reliable WR.
