Not Native Americans I said The Chiefs


For those of you who are lucky enough to count yourself a Kansas City Chiefs fan we may have something to hope for!

I have lived in two of the best sports town in the United States. Kansas City and Columbus, Ohio. Very few cities anywhere are as wild for their teams as KC is for their Chiefs and Columbus is for their Buckeyes. Maybe just maybe the plaza can look foreword to being packed again with Chiefs fans of all ages...Chiefs fans can now throw away their Mizzou sweatshirts.

The Chiefs began as an original AFL team and were known as the Dallas Texans. They have three AFL championships to their credit as well as one Super Bowl victory in the fourth edition of the classic. It was that victory over the Vikings that last saw the Chiefs in a Super Bowl.

Gone are the days of Neil Smith, Derrick Thomas, Marcus Allen. even Priest Holmes and Larry "overpaid" Johnson. Now the days of Carl Peterson are over and if we are lucky Herm Edwards will take his last flight out of KCI soon. I like both men. Edwards is a proven better than average coach who carries himself as a professional. Other than the Chiefs lousy record he has never done anything to bring harm to the tradition of the Chiefs. I may say that the record is enough however. Carl Peterson has figured out like the rest of us that it is just time to go. He had a great run...much longer than most.

Mr. Hunt please do whatever you have to do to bring a title back to KC. We are waiting patiently but bro it has been along time!
